Workers' Annual Leave Redemption! Found the Real-Life "Windy Courtyard" at a Lijiang Homestay

The ultimate annual leave survival guide for overworked professionals is here!! After two days of blissful relaxation at GRAND JOLI Boutique Hotel in Lijiang, I finally rediscovered that long-lost sense of ease🌿—isn't this the real-life version of "Meet Yourself"?! 🌆 Escape the urban hustle and plunge into a healing utopia After three consecutive months of overtime, I arrived in Lijiang exhausted. The moment I stepped into the homestay, my tense nerves instantly relaxed—the fresh and elegant rooftop garden, the soothing sound of flowing water, and the swaying greenery under the breeze. Isn't this exactly the courtyard where Xu Hongdou healed herself in the drama?🌿 Sunlight poured into the room, equipped with a Dyson hairdryer, Frédéric Malle toiletries, and even a curling iron. Nestled in the soft bed, listening to the wind from the ancient town, I realized for the first time how blissful "doing nothing" could be🛏️. 🌄 Conversations with Snow-Capped Mountains and Starry Skies on the Cloud Terrace My favorite part of each day was lounging on the homestay's rooftop! Sipping Pu'er tea during the day, watching Jade Dragon Snow Mountain peek through the mist, and admiring the sparkling waters of Black Dragon Pool; at dusk, witnessing the golden sunset painting the entire ancient town, my phone camera working overtime📸; late at night, wrapped in a blanket, counting stars while staff shared Naxi folk tales—all KPIs and meetings vanished into thin air✨. 🥂 Slow Living Wrapped in Warmth and Ritual Every detail here was healing! The free afternoon tea featured floral pastries that were sweet but not cloying, and the goodnight dessert warmed both stomach and heart🍮. The staff, like old friends, helped plan crowd-free itineraries and recommended locals' favorite mushroom hotpot spots🍲. The biggest surprise was joining the homestay's Dongba script workshop, carefully tracing ancient characters under the teacher's guidance—my heart settled into tranquility. 🏯 Strolling Through the Ancient Town, Turning Time into Poetry Just a short walk from the ancient town, the homestay made it easy to explore without rushing. Watching grandmothers knit scarves at Sifang Street, picking fresh flowers at Zhongyi Market, or spending an afternoon at a riverside café☕️. Tired? Return to the homestay and let the breeze on the terrace remind you of the drama's wisdom: "Life isn't about rushing—it's about feeling the journey." Overworked souls desperately need a trip like this! GRAND JOLI Boutique Hotel is the real-life "Windy Courtyard," where fatigue and anxiety dissolve into Lijiang's gentle breeze🍃. Next time, I'll return to waste time on beautiful things once more~
