✨ TOP 3 Must-Try Experiences
1️⃣ Floating Afternoon Tea: A Luxurious Treat
At 3pm, bamboo trays laden with sweet osmanthus and Longjing tea, delicate lotus flower pastries, and seasonal fruit platters float atop the hot spring in your private courtyard. Every photo you take will look like a scene from a fairytale! Rainy days are even more magical—enjoy tea under the eaves, watch raindrops dance on the bluestone slabs, and imagine yourself transported back in time to a gathering of Song Dynasty scholars.
2️⃣ Luoxia Courtyard: A Double-Height Private Hot Spring Retreat
Stay in a double-height panoramic room, and step through the wooden sliding doors to your own private hot spring! At night, soak under the stars, sip plum wine with your friends, and share your innermost thoughts. Wake up to the sound of birdsong in the morning, enjoy breakfast on the wooden terrace, and watch the mist rise from the valley. This is what "living in the clouds" truly means.
3️⃣ Immerse Yourself in the Charm of the Song Dynasty
- Hanfu Experience: Dress in elegant robes and learn the graceful "Lingbo Weibu" dance from the housekeeper. The peach blossom forest and winding corridors are your personal photoshoot set!
- Handicraft Workshop: Try your hand at traditional crafts like tea ceremony and fan painting, and experience the refined lifestyle of ancient scholars. (Psst, you can take your creations home as souvenirs!)
- Hiking Trails: The mountain behind the guesthouse leads directly to Cherry Blossom Valley. In April, the mountain is covered in peach blossoms, and the streams flow gently. Every step you take reveals scenery reminiscent of the famous "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" painting.
💌 Special Treats for Couples and Friends
- Couples' Special: Mention "anniversary" when booking to receive a complimentary flower petal bath and hot spring egg dish, adding a touch of romance to your stay.
- Girls' Getaway: Choose a special room for your group, including Hanfu styling and a private photographer, and create stunning photos for your social media feed.
📸 Photography Tips
- Floating Afternoon Tea: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the mountain scenery and mist from above.
- Hot Spring at Night: Turn on warm lighting to create a dreamy, misty atmosphere. (Don't forget your waterproof phone case!)
- Hanfu Photoshoot: The backlighting at 4pm is perfect for capturing ethereal photos with glowing hair.
📌 Practical Tips
- Bring mosquito repellent! There can be quite a few insects in the mountains.
- Light-colored Hanfu is recommended, as it complements the white walls and blue tiles beautifully.
- Wear non-slip shoes for hiking, as the stone paths can be slippery after rain.
🌺 Spring Special: In April, when the mountain is ablaze with peach and apricot blossoms, the guesthouse offers a special **"Flower Hunt" hiking package**, including afternoon tea and a professional guide. Join us for a floral adventure!
