Live in Spring | Luzhou Danlin "Buzai Shanlin" Homestay: A Healing Retreat to Sleep with Nature

| Luzhou Danlin "Buzai Shanlin" Homestay: A Healing Retreat to Sleep with Nature. 🌿 Live in Spring | Luzhou Danlin "Buzai Shanlin" Homestay: A Healing Retreat to Sleep with Nature 24 hours 🍃 (A little something before the main text ✨) 📍 Location: Luzhou, Danlin Town, "Buzai Shanlin" Homestay 💌 Keywords: Forest Aesthetics / Spring Limited / Zen Healing / Southern Sichuan Secret Realm 📸 Photo Op Rate: 99.9% of corners can produce ins-style blockbusters! 🚗 Transportation: 40 minutes drive from Luzhou city (route easter egg at the end of the article) 🌸 First Sight Heartbeat: Pushing Open the Courtyard Door and Falling into the Emerald City The moment the navigation prompts arrival, I almost thought I had strayed into a fairy tale enchantment - the bluestone path winds to a mottled wooden courtyard door, and the four characters "Buzai Shanlin" on the lintel are gently entwined by ivy. At the moment of pushing the door, the wind chimes jingle, and the spring colors of the whole courtyard rush to the feet: ☁️ **Courtyard Theater** The centuries-old pear tree is showering snow-white petals, and the bamboo-woven hammock under the tree sways casually with light and shadow; a few wild daisies emerge from the mossy stone slabs, and the wooden tea table is filled with freshly picked unknown wild fruits; the most amazing thing is the rammed earth wall covered with roses, in the evening the sunset gilds the petals, and a casual shot is the same poster as "Little Forest"! 🪑 **Designer's Obsession** The owner was originally an architect who graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and played the "sense of place" to the extreme - the exterior wall is rammed with Danlin red mud mixed with rice straw, the beams are taken from the fallen camphor wood behind the mountain, and even the lamps are a combination of hand-woven bamboo and rice paper. There are surprises at every turn: it may be glass floor tiles inlaid with pebbles, or a cherry blossom that suddenly pokes out from behind the bookshelf. 🛏️ Live in Forest Breathing: The Room is a Growing Container The homestay's only 8 rooms are named after solar terms, and the "Jingzhe" I stayed in completely subverted the imagination of "wild lodging": 🌱 **Natural Living** The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows "frame" the entire bamboo forest into a dynamic wallpaper. When I wake up in the morning by the birdsong, I find a good morning bouquet made of wildflowers on the pillow; the bathroom area is carved from a whole piece of old wood into a washbasin, and the shower gel is actually a limited fragrance made of mountain cangzi and wormwood; the most wonderful thing is the skylight design, lying on the bed at night to watch the Milky Way flow, and in a trance, I feel that the roof has disappeared... 🎋 **Detail Control Ecstasy** The brass key ring is engraved with the pattern of Luzhou's intangible cultural heritage oil-paper umbrella / the cotton and linen bedding reveals the smell of sunshine / the handwritten welcome letter is pressed on a grass-woven tray / the prickly pear juice and osmanthus rice wine in the mini bar are all handmade by local farmers... The housekeeper said that these little thoughts are to let guests "pack the beauty of the mountains and fields home" 🍵 Slow Life Proposal: Unlock 108 Ways to Play in the Mountains The flow of time here is three times slower than in the city: 🌄 **Morning Ritual** 6:30 Go to the back mountain with the housekeeper to pick mushrooms (bamboo baskets and hats are ready!) 7:45 Sit on the terrace and drink freshly ground soy milk, with Danlin's century-old black bean curd 9:00 Grass and wood dyeing workshop experience (I dyed my white T-shirt into spring moss green!) 🌾 **Afternoon Roaming** 13:00 Go to the homestay's exclusive vegetable garden to pick strawberries and tomatoes, and feed the chubby tabby cat 15:00 Brew a pot of Luzhou's special early tea and read the owner's private collection of out-of-print garden picture books 17:00 Follow the local grandma to learn how to weave bamboo dragonflies, and the materials are taken from the old bamboo under the eaves 🌌 **Night Magic** 19:30 Open-air movie + roasted marshmallows (the curtain is hung between two ginkgo trees!) 21:00 Take a Chinese medicine bath and watch fireflies dance outside the window 22:30 Listen to the forest ranger tell the legend of the mountain ghost around the stove... 🍲 Mountain Delicacies on the Tip of the Tongue: An Explosion of Spring in Your Mouth I thought the mountain food would be monotonous, but I was madly attracted by the homestay's private kitchen: 🔥 **Must-Eat TOP3** 1️⃣ **"Falling Flowers and Flowing Water" Hot Pot** Use mountain spring water to cook Danlin black bean curd, blanch the freshly dug Houttuynia cordata sprouts, wolfberry leaves, and Lei bamboo shoots, and the dipping sauce is a fairy combination of broad bean paste + Litsea cubeba! 2️⃣ **Grass and Wood Ash Zongzi** The glutinous rice is marinated with yellow Jing strips burned into ash, wrapped with bacon and wild onions, and steamed with a faint smoky aroma. The housekeeper secretly told me that this is the marching food formula of the Luzhou garrison in the Ming Dynasty~ 3️⃣ **Fermented Rice Sweet Soup with Poached Egg and Milk** The freshly squeezed water milk in the early morning is boiled, poured into native eggs and ancient fermented rice, and sprinkled with a handful of dried jasmine petals. The sweet-loving stars fainted on the spot! 🍯 Hidden Menu: If you book in advance, you can eat the chef's secret "All Bamboo Feast", from cold bamboo fetus to bamboo tube bacon rice, and even the dessert is bamboo juice stewed Sydney pear! 📍Seasonal Easter Eggs: N Reasons to Put "Buzai Shanlin" in Your Favorites 🌿 Spring (March-May): Cherry Blossom Rain + Digging Spring Bamboo Shoots + Tea Picking and Tea Making 🍉 Summer (June-August): Firefly Night + Mountain Spring Pool + Stargazing Camping 🍂 Autumn (September-November): Hitting Persimmons + Osmanthus Wine + Forest Concert ❄️ Winter (December-February): Stove Tea + Pine Needle Bath + Charcoal Grilled Beggar Chicken 💡Travel TIPS 🚗 Navigation settings "Danlin Town Lihua Village", turn right up the mountain after seeing the white windmill 🎒 Must-bring items: Mosquito repellent water (the ecology is too good, the mosquitoes are a bit enthusiastic), Hanfu/cotton and linen skirt (perfect for taking pictures), blank notebook (too many inspirations to record!) 🐶 Pet friendly! Remember to book the "Shuangjiang" room with your furry child in advance~ ✨The magic of "Buzai Shanlin" probably lies in the fact that it makes people feel both independent and full of warm fireworks. When the cherry blossoms in the city are gone, the spring here has just begun.
