Is it worth staying in the wooden cabins in Hemu?

As soon as summer arrives, the homestays in the Hemu Scenic Area become extremely valuable. There's no way around it; the village is only so big, and there are only so many wooden cabins, making them a scarce resource. In previous years, the price of a single wooden cabin has been driven up so high that if you've seen the news, you probably know more about it than I do. So, if you want to stay in Hemu Village, you have to act early. From a geographical perspective, staying in Hemu Village is essential. The three must-experience highlights of Hemu are the sunrise morning mist, the night view of Hemu, and horseback riding in Hemu. The first two cannot be experienced if you don't stay in the village. So how do you choose a homestay? Staying in the old village is more convenient than other locations, and the closer the homestay is to Hemu Bridge, the more convenient it is because it is closer to the morning mist viewing platform and the horseback riding point. It's also convenient for eating, drinking, and entertainment, but the downside is that it can be a bit noisy at night, and the price, well, you know. We chose the Hemu Zanjue·Stargazing Homestay, considering both the geographical location and our budget. It's basically on the edge, and after getting off the scenic shuttle bus, you need to walk a bit with your luggage. This walk is a bit inconvenient; it's not worth taking a paid electric car, and there are no nearby return points for the car. Riding a bicycle is also not cost-effective because you have to return the bike to the rental point. However, there are advantages: the scenery is nice, with mountains right outside the door, a wide view, and the yard is full of wildflowers, giving it a strong vacation atmosphere. It's also not crowded or noisy. The room is relatively large, at least larger than the wooden cabin we stayed in at Kanas. The decor is quite relaxed, and it's fairly comfortable to stay in. The best way to get from the homestay to Hemu Bridge is on foot. Walking and sightseeing along the way is also possible, and it's not too far, so it doesn't significantly affect watching the sunrise. In summary, considering the summer prices, I think it's a good choice.
