The mountain knows my name, it just forgot to tell you…

You may not know me. So let's start from a misty valley—located on the southern foothills of Huangshan. When the morning light is faint and the sea of clouds surges, the Huizhou-style courtyard hidden among the bamboo forest sketches a new charm of Huizhou ink painting. This is not the homestay you remember, but a natural installation art that breathes. Travelers entering Udan Valley for the first time are always speechless the moment they open the door—the floor-to-ceiling windows let the misty mountain air and lush forest pour in, making it hard to tell whether people are watching the mountain or the mountain is embracing people. Here: Spring brings misty rain soaking the windows Summer welcomes drifting clouds into your pillow Autumn carves a foot of moonlight as a painting Winter hides half the mountain in snow while brewing tea "So, we use the window as an inkstone, grinding the four seasons into ink, letting each room write a poem in dialogue with the mountain." The essence of wild luxury has never been about genuine leather sofas or gold leaf chandeliers. Look at those rough wooden tea tables, the bark texture still carries the natural scent of pine resin. The Chinese courtyard blends with garden scenes, every step is a view. We converse with nature, integrate tradition, and the courtyard’s skylight design conveys the old Huizhou concept of "four waters returning to the hall." The fresh vegetables planted in the garden seem like the earth and seasons whispering softly. The afternoon tea delivered by the housekeeper comes with fruits in a rattan basket still covered with morning dew—they come from the wild forest behind the mountain that we deliberately do not prune: waxberries, peaches, plums, blueberries… A day at Udan Valley cottage can start with a bamboo forest hike, bringing along a good book and a pot of fine tea… feeding rabbits, goats, koi fish, and Call ducks downhill… if you have free time, take a stroll around the vegetable garden—I believe you will surely gain something… This is what mountain living is all about.
