Shenzhen Guesthouse Mountain and Sea Retreat, a Hidden Sanctuary in the Forest

Shan Ye · Bu Ruo Lin. Address: No. 12 Haibin South Road, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. The sea is summer's calling, with waves crashing against the shore and endless summer extending its beauty. On the other side of the sea, nestled among lush trees in a lychee grove, sits Shan Ye · Bu Ruo Lin. Spanning 4,800m², this retreat is built along the hillside, embracing flowing greenery. Between sea, sky, and mountains, it creates a space of aesthetic beauty within a cultural context. Six white buildings feature traditional white walls and dark tiles, arranged like a village. Geometric lines cast shadows in perfect harmony, while the play of light and shadow in the southern mountain forest shifts with time. Every detail of light in the courtyard seems sculpted, with a single tree casting ever-changing shadows throughout the day. The peaceful, gentle architecture creates a deeply relaxing atmosphere. The lobby features a wooden zen style, with a tatami tea room where hot tea creates a subtle fragrance under bamboo blinds. Vintage furniture carries the weight of years, while cotton and linen sofas offer comfortable relaxation. Soft light filters through narrow spaces, allowing mind and body to unwind as time seems to slow. The outdoor swimming pool hidden in the forest is perfect for summer fun and cooling off. With prepared swim rings and small boats nearby, you can dive in and play freely. Walking further up the mountain, you can harvest lychees with your own hands—large, plump fruits perfect for eating or making wine, bringing joy to summer days. The 24 guest rooms are embraced by mountain views, with lush greenery visible at a glance. Room furnishings are minimalist yet meticulously designed, with stone and wood elements creating a natural sanctuary. Enjoy the sunset through floor-to-ceiling windows, with distant mountains offering a healing, calming experience!
