A Forest Oxygen Secret Near Shanghai! This Loft Wooden House in Chongming Let Me Relax for 2 Days

Who would have thought! When Shanghai residents want to escape the city on weekends, they drive 1.5 hours straight to Chongming Island and discover the treasure "Xuan and Lan Designer Hotel"—lakeview terrace, standalone wooden houses, family-friendly, even my parents praised my choice, and my friends flooded me with questions about the address! 🏡【Chongming Xuan and Lan Designer Hotel】—The "Little Erhai Lake" hidden on the island 📍Location: No. 68, Group 9, Shanan Village, Haiyong Town, Chongming Island (20 minutes by car from Dongping National Forest Park, reachable from the city via the Yangtze River Tunnel, free parking is super convenient!) The owner is a designer who transformed an old house into a wabi-sabi + Nordic mixed style, with original wood furniture + floor-to-ceiling windows + open-air courtyard. Every corner looks like a forest-themed photo shoot, and the air is full of the scent of plants—a true natural oxygen bar~ ✨Choose any room with confidence! Suitable for families and kids ▪️"Shouyang" for families with kids! Comes with a children's room + separate small bed + sunken tatami (giant screen projection for cartoons), kids can have fun in the room without bothering mom! ▪️"Huai Xu" for big families! Loft with a large bed on each of the two floors, no more bed fights, open the window to lake views, tea on the terrace with water views is super healing~ ▪️"Starry Sky Room" a must for couples! Glass roof on the top floor, lie down and watch the Milky Way at night, private courtyard + bath with bamboo forest view, full of romance! ✅All room types have private hot spring baths (kids love playing in the water), floor heating + smart toilets, bedding meets five-star standards, amenities include niche plant-based fragrances, very thoughtful details! 🎈Everything for fun and food is covered, no need to leave the guesthouse ▪️The lakeview café is amazing! Huge floor-to-ceiling windows framing the river view, handmade afternoon tea (cakes are super soft) + coffee, parents chat while kids play nearby~ ▪️Full family experience! The guesthouse has a vegetable garden (picking fresh veggies is very educational), children's sandpit, outdoor pond, and you can book plant printing and Chongming cake DIY activities, kids won’t be bored all day! ▪️Evenings are cozier! Gather around the stove to brew tea and listen to frogs, or go to the terrace to stargaze, far from city noise, even breathing slows down~ 🌳Nearby attractions are super convenient (all close by car!) 1. Dongping National Forest Park: 20 minutes away, ride through tens of thousands of metasequoia trees, autumn ginkgo rain looks like a painting 2. Mingzhu Lake Scenic Area: The largest egret habitat in the Yangtze River Delta, sunset boardwalk perfect for shooting "Shanghai’s Little Erhai Lake" 3. Qianwei Village Ecological Village: Experience making Chongming cakes, crab fishing, fruit and vegetable picking, and enjoy farm fun Staying here for 24 hours, waking up to birdsong every day, eating fresh vegetables, soaking in the hot spring, and watching the lake view, my parents said it’s more comfortable than going far away! Whether with kids, family trips, or couples’ vacations, everyone can find their own little happiness~
