39 Boutique Homestay

Last weekend in Moganshan, Deqing, I unexpectedly discovered a heavenly homestay hidden deep in the bamboo forest! Hidden West 39 perfectly fulfills all southerners' fantasies about mountain living~ 🌿 Healing Bamboo Forest Sanctuary The homestay is located in Xiantan Village, Moganshan Town, just a 15-minute drive to the Moganshan scenic area! Surrounded by bamboo forests on three sides, every room offers stunning mountain views. The most amazing feature is the third-floor panoramic terrace – taking photos when the morning mist rolls in feels truly magical~ Wear a light-colored long dress for pictures that pop against the emerald bamboo! 🛏️ Japanese Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics We stayed in the "Bamboo Whisper" room – a spacious 60㎡ with tatami tea seating facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The skylight in the bathroom was my favorite, letting you watch swaying bamboo shadows while bathing. The amenities feature Le Labo's Santal 33, whose woody fragrance perfectly complements the mountain retreat vibe! 🎋 Must-Try Experiences • Mountain spring infinity pool: Bring swimwear in summer – the evening light is breathtaking • Bamboo forest afternoon tea: Freshly baked osmanthus cakes with Longjing tea, served in woven bamboo baskets • Rooftop stargazing deck: On clear nights, the butler sets up telescopes for amazing star views 🍵 Nearby Activities • 5-minute hike to Xiantan Secret Spot with a crystal-clear waterfall • 10-minute drive to Yucun Cultural Market for weekend craft workshops • Feeding cows at Yiyuan Farm (20-minute drive) 💡 Practical Tips • After arriving at Deqing Station by high-speed rail, charter a car (about ¥120 one way) • Don't miss the homestay's seasonal mountain delicacies – the bamboo shoot braised pork is incredible • Best visited in spring/autumn; bring mosquito repellent in summer After staying here, I finally understood the meaning of "stealing a moment of leisure from life" – urban escapees, this is your paradise!
