Eight years later, I came to Shaxi again. The difference was that because of the wind, Shaxi was already crowded with people. It was far from the quiet scene in my memory. Fortunately, we arrived at the Baltic Sea. I discovered Beacon Village and this beautiful little B&B because of a video a blogger took two years ago. I keep thinking that if I come to Shaxi again, I must stay here.
Eight years later, I took my beloved boy with me and took two bus rides to Shaxi and Dengta Village. The Bai villages are built against the mountains and are well-proportioned. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the mood immediately becomes refreshing and open. Before we even entered the courtyard, Huahua and Maomao were running towards us wagging their tails. In the courtyard, everyone reads books, drinks coffee and tea, or hangs out on the rooftop. Chatting is also done in a slow and peaceful tone. As for me, I sat on the chair and played with Maomao. The happiness of playing with the dog was real. My lover went to Tiantai Mountain to enjoy the wind and view the scenery, and kept admiring the beauty of it all. After returning from the ancient town in the afternoon, I sat in the small hall and chatted with travelers from all over the world. The pine cones and dead branches collected by Polo from the back mountains became the most natural and clean raw materials for making fire. When night falls, stargazing is an indispensable part. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the sky full of stars and the Milky Way. Thank you Polo for taking the most romantic scene of our trip. There is no need to get up too early the next day. Go to the rooftop to have a slow breakfast and watch the village under the sun, the colorful clouds, the tinkling of wind chimes, and the lazy fur. With the reluctance to leave here, I made a promise with my lover that we will come to Shaxi again next time, we will come to the Baltic Sea again, we will let Maomao take us to climb the back mountain, and we will keep all the beauty in our hearts.
