A summer retreat hidden in the Hundred-Mile Gallery, a summer healed by windows
Finally, the weekend has arrived, and I can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the scorching summer. This week, I chose to go to the Hundred-Mile Gallery, which indeed is an excellent place for water activities and summer retreats. I also discovered a treasure homestay - the Village Hilltop Homestay Hotel, and I fell in love with this paradise-like village.
🖼️ Healed by a window
The most amazing thing about the night at the village hotel was the picture frame-like bay window. Sitting by the window, it felt like I was part of the painting. Outside the window were rolling green hills, blue skies, and white clouds. Time seemed to slow down here, with light and shadow moving slowly. I just wanted to quietly gaze and immerse myself in this tranquility. Sleeping here felt like being gently embraced by the mountains.
In the yard, you can also have a barbecue, enjoy food and the starry sky, listen to the symphony of insects at night, and feel the peace and romance of nature.
🏡 Exploring the countryside village, besides comfortable accommodation, there are many fun activities here! 🤩
🎢 Non-powered facilities, releasing childlike innocence
The non-powered facilities here are fun for both adults and children. Climbing, slides, swings, zip lines... you can let go of adult concerns and rediscover the joy of childhood.
🐑 Small ranch, close to nature
There is also a small ranch where you can feed ponies and lambs, and have close contact with ducks, geese, and rabbits, feeling the intimacy with animals.
🎉 Parent-child activities, exploring nature
Cycling geology classes, handmade pottery, pony cart rides, outdoor movies, and there are also a rock and mineral museum and a children's fun house for kids to explore.
🌄 Hiking trails, getting into nature
Behind the café is a hiking trail. It is said that after reaching the top of the mountain, you can see the spectacular ten-thousand-acre terraced fields! I only walked a part of it and returned without seeing the view from the top. It is said that there is also a swing at the top.
