Hidden Countryside Dream! Personal Experience at Shanghai's Aromatic Town · Qigeng Garden Homestay

During this trip to Shanghai, I deliberately avoided the bustling city center and chose to stay at "Aromatic Town · Qigeng Garden Homestay" located in Pudong New Area. It did not disappoint! Nestled beside a suburban park, the homestay is surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air, instantly immersing you in a rich countryside atmosphere. The homestay emphasizes a "natural healing" concept, with each room thoughtfully designed. Wooden furniture paired with green plant decorations creates a cozy and comfortable ambiance. I particularly loved their open-air balcony, where you can hear birds chirping in the morning and gaze at the starry sky at night, completely escaping urban stress. The most delightful surprise was their self-grown herb garden, where you can smell the subtle scents of lavender and rosemary anytime. You can even DIY your own personalized essential oils—an experience that scores full marks! The food is another highlight. The homestay offers local farm-style dishes made with freshly picked ingredients. I highly recommend their vegetable salad and handmade bread, which are both healthy and delicious. The friendly and enthusiastic owner also shares hidden attractions nearby, helping us discover many beautiful secret spots. If you're looking to temporarily escape the city and enjoy a slow-paced countryside life, Aromatic Town · Qigeng Garden Homestay is undoubtedly a perfect choice for relaxing near Shanghai!
