Who can relate, folks!

A private villa with its own yard, just 300+ per person—this price💰 is truly hard to resist~ 🏡 Floral Villa Luxe·Simple Homestay (Cicheng Ancient Town Branch) Gatherings｜Pet-friendly｜The owner is as kind as she is beautiful😚 Approx. 50m southwest of Banpu Village Bus Stop, Cicheng Town, Jiangbei District, Ningbo 🌿【Relaxing in Nature】Renting the entire villa feels amazing! At night, we set up a projector, wrapped ourselves in blankets with my bestie to watch old movies, even forgot to turn on the AC (natural breeze is truly the best!). 🍲【Savoring Nature’s Warmth】Special shoutout to breakfast! A table full of food for 10: freshly ground soy milk so fragrant it’s irresistible, crispy fried dough sticks, and steaming osmanthus rice cakes… 🎉【Endless Fun】During the day, I dragged my friends hiking in the back mountains—fog drifting over bamboo tips like milk, every photo looking cinematic. At dusk, we set up a tent in the yard to catch crayfish—even a clumsy person like me caught three! ✨【Nearby Hidden Gems】 ▪️Banpu Village: Cobblestone paths and old houses, the graffiti wall at the village entrance is a must-see!

There’s also a quaint teahouse at the village end—sip tea and zone out all afternoon~ ▪️Cicheng Ancient Town: Completely avoids crowds! Walk cobblestone streets, see restored ancient government office scenes, and kids learning to make rice cakes—the air even smells of rice~ (Psst: The ancient ginkgo tree in the backyard is breathtaking in autumn!) ▪️Hemudu Ruins Museum: Free!
