Found this hidden gem of a guesthouse in Tonglu, stayed for 3 days and didn’t want to leave at all, who understands😭 Opening the window reveals endless green mountains, and even the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and earth. The healing vibe hit me as soon as I arrived!

Sitting on the terrace soaking up the sun while eating, the breeze carries a sweet fragrance~ The plating is super exquisite, every snap looks like an Instagram masterpiece! ▪️ Breakfast tastes like home Freshly cooked mixed grain porridge with just the right thickness, freshly steamed meat buns bursting with juice, plus local aunties’ rice cakes and pickled radish. The owner even asks if we want eggs added.
