A hidden tea room in Yuelu Mountain: Find peace among books and mountains.

After spending time in the bustling city of Changsha, it's natural to seek a quiet escape. Stumbling upon "Up the Mountain Food" at the end of Baiyun Road reveals a place where the boundaries between city and nature blur. The high-ceilinged glass room frames the mountain scenery like a year-round painting, where the rustling of pages blends with the chirping of cicadas. Before the rich flavor of Geisha coffee fades from your palate, the special "Peach Tangerine White Peony" offers another delightful surprise. The white peony tea base, infused with the sweetness of peach and tangerine, is complemented by a slightly tart lemon white tea cheesecake—like swallowing a taste of summer itself. The true luxury here isn't just the coffee. Time seems to slow down, carried by the mountain breeze. Engage in conversations with the barista about the fermentation process of Yunnan coffee beans, then shift to discussing the delicious beef skewers from the barbecue stall down the mountain. By the time you've finished half a vintage book, dusk has painted the peaks of Jianfeng Mountain with a golden glow. If you're wondering what "chill" means in Changsha, it's probably the feeling of dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves at 3 p.m., casting shadows on your latte art, making you forget whether you came for coffee or to escape into the mountains for a while.
