Stumbling into the Zen Realm of Mount Jiuhua, Staying in a Homestay Straight Out of a Poem

During this trip to Mount Jiuhua, I stayed at the Xiyu Bieyuan Homestay and truly experienced the meaning of "stealing half a day's leisure." 🌅 Outside the window, the peaks of Mount Jiuhua rise one upon another. When shrouded in clouds and mist, it resembles a splashed-ink landscape painting. The homestay's courtyard design is ingenious, with pebble paths, wooden corridors, and ancient lanterns. Every step reveals a new scene, filled with Zen. Here, time seems to slow down. Sitting quietly in the courtyard, listening to the rustling of the breeze through the bamboo leaves, my soul felt purified. 🛏 The room's decor is simple yet elegant, with wooden furniture and cotton and linen bedding, exuding a sense of quality. Every detail in the room reveals the owner's care, from the scented candles emitting a faint sandalwood fragrance to the overall relaxing ambiance. At night, drawing back the curtains and lying in bed, you can see a sky full of stars—an absolutely amazing experience! 🍜 Food is an indispensable part of travel, and the meals at Xiyu Bieyuan were a delightful surprise! The ingredients are all freshly picked locally, and the cooking methods preserve their original flavors. The dishes are light yet delicious, and even meat lovers will be impressed. 👨‍✈ The homestay owner is a seasoned Mount Jiuhua expert. Not only did he recommend less-traveled but incredibly beautiful scenic spots, but he also helped us contact a tour guide for the area, making our itinerary both relaxing and fulfilling. The staff were also very attentive, promptly helping us resolve various issues, making us feel right at home. 🚗 The homestay is ideally located, just a stone's throw from the core scenic area of Mount Jiuhua, making travel extremely convenient. After a day of sightseeing, we could quickly return to our cozy "nest" without the hassle of a long commute. My stay at Xiyu Bieyuan has become the most unforgettable memory of my Mount Jiuhua trip.
