I've discovered a hidden gem guesthouse tucked away on a mountainside in southern Shaanxi!!

Just 1.5 hours from Xi'an! Enjoy an entire tea mountain with sea of clouds, for only 300+ yuan per person to live inside a Chinese ink painting—who gets it, family?!! 📍Guesthouse: Xiaoshi Mountain Residence 📍Address: Guoqing Village, Niutoudian Town, Zhenping County, Ankang (halfway up Niulang Mountain) 🚗Transportation: 1.5-hour drive from Xi'an, with breathtaking scenery all the way! 💚【What's it like living in the clouds above a tea mountain?】 You have to drive through misty mountain roads to find it! The entire guesthouse is hidden among lush tea fields, like a palette of green paint spilled by God 🍃 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the forest like a dynamic ink painting. Wake up to rolling sea of clouds every morning, and count stars from your bed at night ✨ 🛏️【25 rooms that capture the four seasons in their windows】 Our scenic terrace room was amazing!! 70㎡ super spacious, with wood tones + full floor-to-ceiling windows. Lie in bed watching mountain mist flow by, enjoy tea on the terrace while listening to birdsong—close the door and you're in a peaceful little world~ (Secretly, it's incredibly satisfying to have the mountain to yourself during off-season!) 🍃【Public areas so fun you won't want to leave】 ▪️Infinity pool at the mountaintop where you swim into the clouds ▪️Stargazing cinema + camping site + book bar ▪️Tea brewing around the stove/lawn barbecue/outdoor movies ▪️Kids can run wild at the sports court Perfect for girlfriend tea parties, couple dates, or company team building! 🍲【Mountain cuisine that explodes your taste buds】 The free-range chicken hot pot is incredibly delicious! The barbecue uses freshly butchered black pork, and even the stir-fried vegetables taste sweet from mountain spring water~ The restaurant faces the valley, and watching the sunset while eating is incredibly romantic 😭 ⛰️【Nearby attractions guide】 ▫️Hualong Mountain Scenic Area (50min) ▫️Tianshu Gorge (50min) ▫️Zhenping Yaowang Mountain (40min) ▫️Huanglong Pool Park (30min) Each scenic spot is like a fairyland! Recommend staying 2 days and 1 night to explore at a leisurely pace~ ✨【Honest stay review】 I thought mountain accommodations would be rustic, but was amazed by the details! Floor heating/smart toilets/high-end toiletries all provided, with 24-hour attentive butler service. Most memorable was seeing the Milky Way from the terrace at 3 AM, with mountain breeze carrying tea fragrance past my ears—in that moment, I truly wanted to live here forever 😭 Sisters, save this place! Hurry before it gets too popular!!
