The duck hotpot is very special, with snails and duck, the quantity is not bad, there are not many people, so we didn't order much! The waiter was very enthusiastic and introduced the local customs to us. If we didn't know, we asked the local boss! Great! There are bee pupae and crickets, you can try them if you are interested! There are also ginger flowers that I have never seen before!
We ordered a few dishes, including a duck hotpot, snail steak, farmer's tofu, amaranth soup, and farmer's fried meat. They all tasted good, especially the duck with sweet and delicious soup, which was highly praised!

I have been to many places, and I feel that the more remote the place is, the more local the food is.
This B&B really broke my previous stereotype
This B&B not only has a good accommodation environment, but also has great desserts and coffee.
The first floor of the B&B is a restaurant, with a large terrace outside, and a dedicated cafe. It is hard to believe that in such a remote place, there are such delicious coffee and desserts.
Take tiramisu for example,
As a traditional Italian dessert, it is very common
While following the traditional method, Moye replaced the finger biscuit element with a custard cake layer
to make it softer and smoother, and the coffee wine syrup also replaced the original espresso with ristretto
While reducing the bitterness of the traditional Italian coffee in the latter stage, it brings better flavor to the dessert
Single egg yolk technique. Let the light and smooth characteristics of mascarpone be best reflected
Tiramisu's iconic cocoa powder. You can always trust Valrhona
Different from tiramisu in other places, it is different from the past with just one bite.
Being able to make a very common dessert so that people feel amazing after taking a bite,
it shows that the store is really operating with heart.
I have seen too many B&Bs that sell directly from cake shops and dessert shops.
How can a B&B that pays attention to desserts and coffee not spend time on other small things?
The meals in the B&B are very authentic farm dishes, without fancy plating,
but each dish can taste the local characteristics,
I really love their spicy chicken,
According to the boss, authentic local raw materials are needed to make this taste.
The rice wine sent is also delicious,
The front desk guy is very nice. We said that the rice wine is delicious and he refilled our cups.
The rooms in the B&B are also great, with simple design and good hygiene.
The facilities are also very good, the bathroom is large enough, and the bed is cotton and linen, which is very comfortable.
It remains very refreshing in a humid environment.
The balcony and the room have the same view. It's really nice to come here for a short weekend and watch the clouds running in the mountains. #甜品下午茶 #给你看我超级假期 #给你看我飞日记 #这里风景如画 #城市里藏藏秘密境

Maybe it was because it was off-season when we went there, so there were not many shops open. The innkeeper recommended this one to me. To be honest, the taste was average and the price was not cheap, but the service was very good and the boss was very warm.
The taste is very good, the scenery and environment are also good.

✨ Must-Experience Scenic Spot Highlights
- Fairyland Landscape: The spectacular peaks and forests are similar to those in Zhangjiajie, with seas of clouds often swirling amidst the picturesque mountains and clear waters. Climbing to the summit early in the morning or after rain is like stepping into a fantasy drama, and every photo is a masterpiece. - Natural air conditioning: The average summer temperature is 23°C, keeping you cool and sun-free during the day. Even at night, you'll need to wear long sleeves, making sweating a thing of the past. Enjoy a comfortable summer.
- Accessible: Accessible via cable car, the plank path is smooth and easy to navigate, making it stress-free for families with children or the elderly.
- Special interactive activities:
- Blind Box Challenge: Available for a limited time in the cable car cabin at 1,000 meters above sea level (every Saturday and Sunday), you'll get to experience the "Yao King Treatment" or participate in fun strength tests to win small gifts.
- One-Day Yao Stamp Collection: Collect unique stamps at locations like the Yao Village. Collect all the stamps and exchange them for souvenirs for immersive Yao culture.
📌 Tips
1. Blind Box Challenge Tips: Available only on Saturdays and Sundays, it's recommended to check the time in advance and listen to the announcements during the cable car ride to ensure you don't miss out on the amazing experience at 1,000 meters. 2. Outfit Tips: Wear comfortable sneakers and a light jacket during the day (it's cooler in the morning and evening). Women can wear a ethereal skirt for stunning photos against the backdrop of the sea of clouds.
3. Stamp Collection Tips: Be sure to ask the staff to stamp your stamps at locations like Yao Village and Panwang Temple. Once you've collected all your stamps, you can exchange them for Yao local specialties, making them a truly memorable keepsake.
4. Best Time to View the Sea of Clouds: If you want to take photos of the sea of clouds, it's recommended to leave early. Panwang Peak offers the best vantage point at the summit, with breathtaking views at sunrise and sunset. Don't miss it.
📝 Helpful Tips
- Dining options are limited within the scenic area, so bring some light snacks and water, or try simple Yao local cuisine at Yao Village.
- The cable car generally operates from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. It's recommended to arrive at the visitor center before 9 AM to allow ample time to enjoy all the attractions.
- The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so bring a folding umbrella (for both sun and rain protection).
This summer, don’t go to crowded popular scenic spots~ Come to Dayao Mountain to enjoy the cool 23℃, be a "fairy" among the peaks and clouds for a day, and unlock the fun experience of Yao Village by the way. It will definitely be an unforgettable summer vacation memory!
