A Secluded Escape in Qingpu: Discovering the Tranquil Beauty of a Five-Star Homestay!

On a whim, I decided to take a spontaneous trip and chose the Hidden Retreat Homestay (Dongzhuang Branch) in Qingpu after some research. What initially caught my eye was its charming decor—a courtyard blooming with gorgeous hydrangeas. The stay turned out to be incredibly worthwhile, offering exceptional value for money. Though we only booked one room, it felt like we had the entire building to ourselves, with access to shared spaces. The homestay features a café open to the public, serving delicious coffee with velvety foam and impressive latte art. After the rain, the air was refreshingly crisp. Sipping coffee indoors while chatting with friends was pure bliss. The café’s Instagram-worthy décor made it perfect for photos, and the overall experience was delightful. The village itself was wonderfully peaceful—a stark contrast to the city’s hustle and bustle, allowing my mind to unwind. The homestay’s breakfast was fresh and wholesome. When I asked the butler about nearby attractions, he recommended a wetland park. This stay at Hidden Retreat Homestay offered a much-needed escape from urban chaos, gifting me serene and beautiful moments.
