Just checked out! My husband really knows how to pick! Would happily stay here all summer long

Huangya Selenium Wilderness Homestay (Zuishan Scenic Area Branch) features ingenious design where the architect preserved the original mountain rock formations, creating a dramatic dialogue between floor-to-ceiling windows and rugged cliffs—as if the entire structure grew naturally from the mountain. Each guest room balcony has a cantilevered "Cloud Viewing Platform" with frameless glass railings, offering unobstructed views of Zuishan's sea of clouds and pine waves. This "borrowed scenery" technique turns the architecture into nature's perfect picture frame. Bedding uses linen-organic cotton blends with just the right roughness, evoking the sensation of sleeping on sun-warmed hay. The solid wood nightstands retain original bark textures, while the mini-bar features selenite slices as coasters. Enjoy freshly squeezed goat milk, selenium-rich purple lettuce harvested midday from the garden, and mandarin fish from Qiupu River delivered by fishermen at dusk. Local selenite stones are heated to 300°C then rapidly cooled to sear Shitai yellow beef ribs—locking in juices while imparting unique mineral aromas through far-infrared radiation. The ultimate therapy? "Selenium Foot Soaks"—dipping feet in flowing mineral springs while small fish gently exfoliate, accompanied by Anhui folk songs from tea pickers in the distance, as fatigue melts away with the stream. Hike west to reach East China's last primitive evergreen oak forest, where 300-year-old trees host rare ferns. Follow the creek eastward to discover terraced selenite fields cascading down the slopes.
