Shiwai Taoyuan·Bamei - A Timeless Hidden Paradise

Want to escape the hustle and bustle? Bamei in Wenshan, Yunnan, is the real-life "Peach Blossom Spring" described by Tao Yuanming! Glide through a dark karst cave by boat and suddenly emerge into a breathtaking vista—emerald mountains embracing a village encircled by crystal waters, where century-old waterwheels creak and Zhuang ethnic homes send up wispy cooking smoke. Here, there's no urban clamor, only the murmuring Tuoniang River, ancient legends beneath thousand-year-old banyan trees, and the enduring tradition of nude bathing in the "Men's River" and "Women's River." Spring brings peach blossoms blanketing the land, summer greets you with waves of green rice paddies, autumn offers golden harvests, and winter wraps the village in serene tranquility. Stay in a stilted house, savor colorful sticky rice, and listen to Zhuang folk songs echoing through the valleys... Bamei is a timeless sanctuary and the "slow living" paradise urban dwellers dream of.
