During my stay in Huangshan, I found solace in the mountains at a private villa.

It was the perfect mental ibuprofen for a busy worker.🍃 🍃In the mornings, I'd either cycle around or hike with the housekeeper. Inhaling the earthy fragrance of the woods and foliage amidst the misty forest was truly refreshing. I also enjoyed taking a bamboo raft to the center of the lake, watching the sunlight filter through the trees. If I couldn't decide how to spend my time, I'd grab a fishing rod and spend the morning angling. 🍃The room's large balcony and garden were perfect for relaxing. Sipping tea and listening to the wind on the balcony was incredibly therapeutic. Lunch was at the Hidden Valley Courtyard, where the housekeeper drove us. The hotel specializes in local cuisine, offering authentic Huizhou dishes and mountain flavors. The ingredients, even the bamboo shoots, were freshly harvested that day. The bamboo shoots had a unique seasonal freshness that was a must-try. 🍃In the afternoon, if you're in the mood for camping, the campsite has a large lawn, perfect for taking photos with kids or pets. The forest, streams, and hiking trails are all visible from the campsite. 🍃If your itinerary includes Huangshan Mountain, you can also book a car to take you there. I recommend Huangshan—Shui Yun Jian, as Shui Yun Jian is ideal for morning hikes. For nature lovers, it's tempting to become a mountain dweller, living here and leaving the world behind.
