A hidden gem of a guesthouse away from the hustle and bustle: Shanyu Diary

☀️The first weekend of December was perfect for a getaway, and I discovered a hidden gem of a guesthouse: Shanyu Diary. 📍Located at No. 59 Houhong Village, Deqing South Road, about a 2.5-hour drive from Shanghai🚗, this guesthouse is nestled in the mountains. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a secluded haven, this is the place for you. ✨The moment you step onto the guesthouse stairs, you'll be captivated by its spacious courtyard. Blue skies, white clouds, bamboo groves, swings, camping pool—embracing nature, a natural oxygen bar—everything is simply beautiful. 💕The owner is incredibly welcoming. Our room was on the 3rd floor, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offering a unique perspective overlooking the courtyard. 💕The room features a minimalist white design, which I absolutely love. Clean and comfortable, it instantly washes away the fatigue of work… 💕Each room at this establishment has its own unique design, giving you a sense of personal belonging. I especially love the bathtub design 🛀; the feeling of soaking in the water while gazing at the scenery is so relaxing… 💕Besides, the sofas offering panoramic views and the soft beds with direct views mean that no matter where you relax, you're enveloped by the scenery. Nature is everywhere—it's wonderful! ⛰️Although located in the mountains, it's close to the city center. Yujie Street is a one-stop destination for eating, drinking, and shopping, just a 15-minute drive away, making it very convenient and offering great value for money. ⏰The only downside is that many restaurants close around 8 pm, so explore early. 💕If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing place to relax while still enjoying the surrounding area, this is definitely a great choice!
