In the fast-paced life of Shanghai, we occasionally need a spontaneous getaway to recharge our batteries. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and arrived at Jianwuxiang · Jiulinjingshe Lakeside Homestay, located at Shifuti, Qingshan Village, Huang Lake Town, Yuhang District, Hangzhou. This place not only has beautiful mountains and waters, but also hides many delightful little secrets. 🏠A Home Away From Home, Warm and Comfortable As soon as you step into Jianwuxiang · Jiulinjingshe, you feel like you've entered a warm home.

Each window, whether in a mountain view room or a river view room, frames a captivating scene. 🍃Surrounded by Nature, Every Breath is Fresh The homestay is embraced by green mountains and clear waters. Right outside the door is the pristine Shifuti Reservoir, and nearby, the winding Wangwei Mountain Ancient Trail is perfect for hiking and exploring. At night, lying in the comfortable bed, you can look up and see a sky full of stars. Such nights are tranquil and beautiful. 🍽️Delicious Food Not to Be Missed, A Feast for the Taste Buds The homestay's dining experience is also exceptional.

Of course, summer vacation means taking the kids to play in the water. Over the weekend, we took the kids to Qingshan Village in Yuhang. A 2-day, 1-night weekend trip is just right. Day 1: Depart for Qingshan Village Homestay, named Jiulin Jingshe, an old residence exuding an antique charm. We stayed in a tatami room, which the two kids absolutely loved. Activities: Paddleboarding Both kids and adults love it, and there are professional coaches to guide you, making it easy to get started. The older sister and younger brother didn't want to come ashore. In the midst of green mountains and clear waters, feeling the breeze with each paddle, it's so pleasant. Day 2: After an early breakfast at the homestay, we set off for the ancient trail, enjoying the fun of hiking. The mountains are free from the city's stuffiness, and you can hear the cicadas and birds, feeling carefree and relaxed. In the afternoon, we headed to the Hangzhou Grand Canyon Drift, which is 25 minutes from the accommodation. From glass drifting to tunnel drifting to slope drifting, it's suitable for family drifting, and you can even have water fights in the gentle sections.

The place is known as Little Mogan Mountain but is little known. The inn returns to simplicity and nature. The white walls and black tiles outline the true personality of the inn. The small courtyard wall piled up with local mountain stones and soil looks like a neighbor's house, making people feel friendly, as if visiting the home of a good friend in the mountains. The surrounding mountains are rolling and gently "wrapped" the inn in dense forests. The abundant rain nourishes this place, and streams and rivers flow through the inn. The pleasant scenery blessed by God makes the residents here live happily, long and happy. When night falls, the inn becomes even more peaceful against the backdrop of the verdant colors of the woods and grasslands. The winding paths lead to secluded places, and at the end of the paths are warm lights. Walking along the hollow corridor made of solid wood, you will slowly enter the inn. The wooden antique shelves surround the elegant leisure area. Flowers, peacock feathers and various small ornaments decorate the place. You can sit on the comfortable sofa with a few friends, flipping through magazines or books, or chatting. Everyone can enjoy the relaxing time in the mountains. Walking into the guest room, a simple and natural feeling hits you. The best thing is that the inn has retained the original wooden beams and columns without too much decoration. Walking into the room feels like being in an old house. The solid wood leisure tables, chairs and bed frames, paired with the traditional "round mirror", make the guest rooms full of Chinese simplicity and elegance. If you want to calm down and feel the tranquility of the mountains, the Japanese tatami tea table in the room allows people to sit close together and sip tea quietly. When you feel tired, you can admire the beautiful scenery of the mountains from the window. It can be said that you can enjoy the free time in this forest.
