Here, everything is naturally peaceful and effortless

Nestled between Liyang's Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Tianmu Lake, a modern homestay with the soul of "tea and Zen as one" - Hegu Village - quietly flourishes. This is not just a traveler's resting place, but an immersive experience blending Liyang's local culture with contemporary aesthetics. The owner has created a striking modern silhouette among tea fields through staggered gray-tiled sloping roofs and transparent glass walls. The main building employs Liyang's traditional rammed earth technique, with walls incorporating local rice husks that reveal subtle textures as the light changes. Guest rooms range from 45 to 80 square meters, continuing the minimalist natural style with wooden furniture paired with linen fabrics and no excessive decoration. Bedding is made of premium Egyptian cotton, bath products feature a custom Chinese herbal series, and some rooms come with private soaking pools. The homestay owner has partnered with local "Shrimp King" Chef Xu to create a signature menu: wild bamboo shoots freshly harvested from Nanshan Mountain paired with Liyang white celery, accompanied by casserole-baked Yanlaijun mushroom sauce. The signature "Three Black Feast" (black rice, liver, and Yanlaijun mushrooms) features ingredients from the homestay's own farm. Beyond the standard tea room and book bar, Hegu Village takes greatest pride in its cultural experiences. In the morning, guests can join tea pickers on the mountain to experience the art of harvesting "one bud and one leaf." Don't miss the "Bamboo SPA," where therapists combine local herbs with aromatherapy and the unique "bamboo cupping" technique effectively relieves urban sub-health conditions. When city anxieties are blown away by mountain breezes, and mobile signals become intermittent, you can finally hear your inner voice—perhaps this is what the owner calls "the healing power of mountain living."
