Jiuhuashan Fengshen Homestay offers a golden Buddha view right from the window, fully immersing you in Zen vibes

Who gets it! Staying at the dream homestay while making wishes on Jiuhuashan 🌿 The Shanhé Yiju Scenic View Room I booked hit me right in the heart—opening the balcony door left me speechless, the golden Buddha of Dayuan Cultural Park stands amidst the clouds and mist. When the morning fog drifts over the dark mountain peaks, it truly feels like stepping into a Zen painting. The owner is a local, messaged me a day in advance to check my itinerary, and thoughtfully reminded me about the big temperature difference on the mountain. When I arrived, warm ginger tea was ready, and without a word, they helped carry my heavy luggage upstairs—more considerate than family. The room features a natural wood style, with a soft tatami mat. A small incense burner sits by the bedside, the faint sandalwood mixed with mountain breeze is super sleep-inducing. The floor-to-ceiling window faces the mountain view; I held my warm tea and sat all afternoon watching clouds drift over the peaks, even my anxiety was blown away. Special praise for the breakfast! The freshly cooked pumpkin porridge was sweet to the heart, the Huizhou sauce pancake crispy outside and soft inside. The owner said all ingredients were from nearby farmers, even more fragrant than restaurants down the mountain. In the evening, they also served homemade kudzu starch balls—sticky and chewy, a delight for glutinous food lovers. It’s just a 10-minute walk to Dayuan Cultural Park, no need to squeeze into parking lots. Early morning after worship, the wintersweet in the homestay’s courtyard was in bloom, sunlight spilled on the wooden chairs, every casual photo was a mood masterpiece 📸 When you come to Jiuhuashan, don’t stay in the same old hotels. This hidden Shanhé Yiju is the little happiness beyond just making wishes.
