Zhuanghe Xiemashanzhuang

This is not Moganshan, it's actually Zhuanghe Xiemashan!||This is not in Moganshan, but it is the most perfect presentation of Zhuanghe's landscape that I can imagine; this is not an ancient house in the forests of Japan, yet it is the manga scene I've imagined countless times with mountains right outside the door and ninjas lurking around; this is another kind of beauty of Xiemashan's landscape, like the spring rain fittingly blending into Xiemashan's silver rocks, flowing water, making me feel that here, humans haven't disturbed the environment, but rather elevated the level of a model B&B. Twelve years, the landlady has invested tens of millions, building and demolishing, repairing and patching, for eight years, exploring the path of running a mountain B&B. This place is where I most regret not having come earlier. In the past, I often went to Xiemashan and saw many students sketching the beauty here with their brushes, all depicting the beauty of the countryside. This time, I can finally paint the beauty of modernity in harmony with nature. In Xiemashan, having a decent iced Americano is like finding a farmer's mountain spring in the desert for me. That contrast makes the cornfields outside the window and the distant mountains become a landscape I never tire of looking at, and also made that day, when we got up at five in the morning, raced over a hundred kilometers, and at eight o'clock had a bowl of fragrant dacha with oily golden salted duck eggs, beating McDonald's cheeseburger. A courtyard, with the garden's exquisite layout and reasonable distribution of movement lines, the tranquility of the coffee bar and tea room, the garden view of the courtyard rooms, seems like I haven't encountered such a refined Chinese-style B&B in Dalian before. Halfway up the mountain, there are three B&Bs, two Japanese-style, one European-style. They say that 'opening the door to see the mountain' is a direct way of speaking, but here I learned that it's a way of unveiling the scenery, an indescribable comfort worth idling away time in.
