Weekend 24-Hour Escape to a Mountain Retreat

Wake up to the sound of wind and admire the clouds in the wilderness. The city's heatwave automatically quiets down here. Hidden within the folds of Moganshan lies a secluded paradise. Just a 15-minute drive from Yucun, yet it feels like stepping into another world. The bamboo forest filters the early summer heat into scattered light spots. Wild raspberries ripen to a deep purple along the path in front of the house. Pick one, and the sweet and tangy juice instantly quenches the summer heat. 🤍🩵🫧🧺 Secluded, but not isolated from the world. ▫️ Deeply hidden: Qingli is nestled at the foot of Moganshan in a private location, surrounded 360° by red maples and bamboo. Even GPS navigation hesitates for a moment. ▫️ Easy to reach: A 2-hour drive from Shanghai or Hangzhou, with the last stretch of mountain road feeling like opening a blind box—turn a corner and suddenly encounter a light Japanese-style house. ▫️ Away from the hustle, yet close to convenience: A 10-minute walk to a wild waterfall, and a 15-minute drive to Yucun for trendy coffee spots—offering both seclusion and accessibility. 🤍🩵🫧🧺 Romantic mountain living, spending time on delightful little things. ▫️ Morning berry picking: Carry a bamboo basket and follow the housekeeper to the back mountain. Brambles, blackberries, and raspberries hide among the thorns. Pick a handful and toss them into a bowl of yogurt for a forest-exclusive dessert. ▫️ Evening stroll at Yucun Slow Market: Drive down the mountain to the Republic-era style street, browse handmade tie-dye crafts, and sip on iced Americano while listening to the nostalgic tunes of an old record player. ▫️ Nighttime stargazing: As night falls, the Milky Way gradually appears. Just lie back on a deck chair and wait for fireflies to greet you with their glowing lanterns. 🛏️ Sleep amidst the breath of the mountains. All 8 rooms feature mountain-facing windows 🪟. Cotton and linen bedding carry the scent of sunlight. In the morning, pull open the curtains to see mist rising from the valley. This is the perfect moment to start a healing early summer day.
