Floral·Yao Mom's Guest Room (Xishuangbanna Wangtianshu Scenic Area Branch) is located in the southern part of Yunnan Province, separated from Laos by a mountain in the southeast, and is located in the mountain rainforest south of the border.Life is not limited to the trivialities and mediocrity in front of you, it also has poetry and distant charm. Hidden deep in a secret place, we live in a world surrounded by nature. It is the home of 56 families. They live close to the mountains and use wooden buildings with railings as their homes. Here, the traditional culture of the Indigo Yao people is passed down, and their simple and primitive lifestyle attracts countless tourists to stop and linger.Once upon a time, this was a deeply impoverished village. However, as time goes by, new hope has been given birth to in the changes. Nowadays, every household has a built-in guest room, with different sizes and unique room types. Everywhere reveals the tranquility and warmth of the countryside. Here, you can slow down, experience the slow life of the countryside immersively, and feel the tranquility and beauty that is uncontested by the world.
"This was probably the biggest surprise of our Yunnan trip – we stumbled upon this village by accident. For city dwellers like us, it felt like a paradise. From an extremely impoverished village to one where everyone has an income, the villagers said it was Professor Li Xiaoyun's team (I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling) who helped the village generate tourism revenue. We booked a three-bedroom room for 1730 yuan a night. It was the second day of the ***** New Year, so that's understandable, but seeing in the reviews that it was a poverty alleviation project, we immediately placed the order. Since we were going to book a guesthouse anyway, it wouldn't hurt to do something good. Driving from the Wangtianshu Scenic Area, there's only one road into the village, and the winding roads scared me half to death! Definitely check in during the day! The one-way street makes passing difficult, especially since we were in a campervan. When we arrived, we were truly shocked. It was a village with only one small shop. To be honest, that might not be accurate; there were no restaurants, no milk tea shops, no convenience stores, no coffee shops – absolutely no commercial establishments. Honestly, I was a little shocked because I didn't expect such a pristine, authentic village. Each guest room was in a different family's home. The village has over 60 households and more than 200 people. You can pay the family you're staying at to have their meals prepared, using vegetables they grow themselves and pigs and chickens they raise themselves. I haven't written this review yet because I really wanted to sit down and write a proper review. If my initial impression of the village was surprise, astonishment, and a little regret, then afterwards it was pure joy, delight, and regret for arriving too late. In the evening, I watched the village girls dancing on the basketball court. The owner of the house I stayed at, Brother Deng, was born in 1984. My husband and father ate and drank with him, and he even took my father and husband to visit other villagers. Everyone in the village was simple, honest, and warm-hearted. Although I couldn't understand their dialect, I could feel everyone's kindness and welcome. Even though the rooms weren't very soundproof—after all, it's a wooden village, part of the Yao culture—it was very clean. You could tell they were putting effort into making this a good tourist destination. I hope Hebian Village continues to thrive. See you next time! If you're willing to put down your phone and experience nature, to escape the city and enjoy a day of simplicity, believe me, it's worth the trip, unforgettable, and truly a return to nature. This special trip perfectly embodies that feeling."
