The pastoral countryside inn of Wuyuan, nestled between rivers and mountains

It takes only a 20-minute drive from Wuyuan Station to reach the tranquil Liusu Cottage, which is quietly situated on the banks of the Xingjiang River in Huangyuan Village. Passing through the lush mountains and fields, one by one, the quaint buildings come into view. Not only are there gardens, tea plantations, and orchards here, but also the peaceful rice fields dotted with lotus flowers, making one feel as if they have stepped into a paradisiacal haven separate from the mortal world. ◆Design What is astonishing is that almost every brick and tile of Liusu Cottage is meticulously constructed from recycled old materials. The old doors and windows with their stories, the beams from old houses, add a taste of time's sediment to the place. The architecture ingeniously blends into the surrounding landscape, with the Mingxiang Garden, Treehouse Tea Room, and Pillow Water Platform, the entire living system harmoniously devoted to the mountains and waters. ◆Rooms Stepping into the spacious rooms, a warm and comfortable atmosphere immediately surrounds you. There are fifteen rooms in total, with clever design and layout, the freshness of bamboo and wood, the softness of the lighting, and the exquisite decorations, every detail is comfortably tailored. Lying in bed, you'll have the illusion of embracing the entire landscape in your arms, a sense of relaxation that is the most precious enjoyment on a journey. ◆Dining The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows make you feel as if you are in the midst of nature. The ingredients here are all natural, a perfect combination of authentic Wuyuan cuisine and Huizhou cuisine, especially the stinky mandarin fish, which is really authentic and unforgettable.
