Hidden Retreat in Yixing: Healing Experience at Yu Zizai UTTAMAM Bamboo Forest Guesthouse

Hidden in the depths of Yixing's bamboo forest, "Yu Zizai UTTAMAM" is a healing retreat that instantly melts away fatigue. As you push open the bamboo-woven door, you're greeted by the refreshing mountain breeze and a sea of lush greenery, as if stepping into a magical forest. The guesthouse is a renovated old residence that retains the elegance of Su-style architecture while incorporating modern minimalist design. The most stunning feature is the rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy misty bamboo treetops in the morning and gaze at a sky full of stars at night, accompanied by a cup of Yixing Zisha tea brewed by the owner—a perfect remedy for urban stress. Rooms are crafted with natural materials, featuring wooden furniture and handmade woven items. Even the toiletries are herbal-based and additive-free. Breakfast includes freshly made black rice porridge and bamboo shoot side dishes prepared by the hostess, with ingredients sourced from local farms. Renting a bicycle from the guesthouse is highly recommended for a ride along the bamboo forest trails, feeling the cool breeze through your fingers. This is not just a place to stay but a sensory healing journey. When you leave, your suitcase will be filled not only with souvenirs but also with a light and refreshed spirit.
