Who understands! I struck gold at Xiaoyin Banshan in Anji! Open the door to a mountain full of green, soak in a private hot spring pool under the starry sky, the rooftop sky mirror shrouded in morning mist feels like walking on clouds. This isn’t just staying at a homestay; it’s bringing the “life you long for” into reality!
✨Why is it called the “Anji Must-Stay Private Hot Spring TOP”?
1. Every room hides a mountain view surprise:
• Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + private courtyard/terrace. The “Qingshan” room we stayed in has a private hot spring pool! Soaking while stargazing at night, with the Milky Way overhead, so cozy you don’t want to move;
• Warm-toned wood style + smart home system, one-touch panel to adjust lights and curtains, bedding so soft you sink in, toiletries contain Anji white tea extract, every detail is perfect~
2. Photo spots that will fill your memory card:
• Rooftop Sky Mirror: Best to shoot between 6-7 AM when clouds and mist wrap the mountains, ethereal like a heavenly palace;
• Bamboo Tea Room: Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto a sea of bamboo. In spring, you can pick tea leaves, sip tea while watching bamboo shadows sway—super healing;
• Starry Sky Cinema: Outdoor movies at night, accompanied by mountain insect sounds, the atmosphere is unbeatable!
3. All fresh mountain cuisine:
• Must-try homestay farmhouse dishes! The free-range chicken soup is incredibly fresh, the dried bamboo shoots with braised pork taste like grandma’s cooking, all ingredients freshly picked from their own garden;
• Breakfast’s sweet potato porridge + preserved vegetable cakes are amazing, plus the exclusive “Bamboo Forest Afternoon Tea” — wild white tea paired with freshly baked mountain walnut cookies served in handcrafted bamboo containers for a special touch;
• Just 5 minutes away is “Lao Li’s Country Cuisine,” you must try the braised duck and mixed fish stew!
