Living in Poetry | A Tranquil Journey at Aishu Huangyao Academy

Stepping into Aishu Huangyao Academy feels like entering a dream where "antiquity and modernity coexist." The courtyard bonsai is the first delightful surprise! The dark gray walls set off the ancient pines and cypresses, and on rainy days, the scene becomes even more enchanting. Raindrops dance on the stone slabs and fall into the branches and leaves, creating a sense of blank space in an ink painting. Every casual photo seems to come with a "Zen filter." Time in the tea room is the most soothing: a wooden table adorned with rustic tea sets, brewing a pot of tea while watching the warm light flow across the glass walls. Outside, the water surface shimmers with golden ripples, occasionally interrupted by slanting rain, keeping all the noise at bay and granting a rare moment of relaxation to "slow down." At night, encountering the spiral staircase and book wall is an instant delight! The warm yellow light bathes the wall of books, and the staircase's curves resemble a flowing painting. Picking an old book and curling up in a corner, even your breathing feels lighter—who could resist such an atmosphere? In the morning, watch the courtyard greenery stretch; in the evening, chase the sunset on the roof tiles; on rainy nights, listen to the wind through the corridors... The academy infuses "tranquility" into every inch of its space. Only after staying here will you understand: travel doesn't have to be about chasing scenery. In this haven, simply "daydreaming, sipping tea, and flipping through books" is the most comfortable way to pause.
