Secret Autumn Spots in Lin'an | Hot Springs and Tea by the Fire

Li Ziqi's return has rekindled my love for Chinese rural aesthetics. I took a weekend trip to a hidden gem of a village in Lin'an, Hangzhou, where I encountered the romantic colors of late autumn 🍁. This hidden gem of a homestay, nestled in the autumn scenery, is like a paradise on earth. ⛩️ Environment and Style: The homestay's black tiles and white walls look even more ancient against the colorful mountains. The red maples, golden ginkgoes, and evergreen pines and cypresses create a beautiful picture. Entering the courtyard, the pool is like a mirror, and the falling leaves add a touch of Zen. You can also take a boat ride and feel the autumn breeze on your face. 🍵 Tea by the Fire: The homestay owner carefully selects tea leaves and joins us in the courtyard for tea by the fire. As the fire warms up, the aroma of tea blends with the scent of autumn fruits and leaves, healing both body and mind. 🛏️ Room Amenities: The room names are all from Zhuangzi. We stayed in the "Xiaoyao" room, which is spacious and has a private indoor hot spring and a balcony. The wooden furniture has a warm luster, and the bedding is very comfortable. 🏞️ Nearby Attractions: The ginkgoes and terraces in Zhinnan Village have turned golden, and the water cypresses in Qingshan Lake have turned rusty red. Come and check them out before winter arrives!
