Wuyishan Rongjingshu Hotel: An Early Summer Hideaway Filled with Fruit Fragrance

An Early Summer Hideaway Filled with Fruit Fragrance~ We took the tourist shuttle bus from Nanping Station and arrived at the resort area where Rongjingshu is located in about forty minutes. If driving, simply navigate to "Wuyishan Rongjingshu Hotel." The hotel buildings are scattered along the mountainside. We stayed in the Yunying Independent Villa, with wooden furniture giving off a light pine scent and wild flowers from the garden placed on the coffee table. Wuyishan always carries a mystical air at dawn. When sunlight filters through the gauze curtains, the dew-laden peaches in the courtyard are the first to awaken. The moment I opened the window, the morning breeze carrying sweet fruit fragrance rushed into our independent villa at Wuyishan Rongjingshu Hotel. It turns out that here in May, even the air is deliciously sweet. "Loquats are in season now," said the butler as he handed me a wicker basket, which I noticed was thoughtfully equipped with a straw hat and mosquito repellent sachet. Golden loquats weighed down the branches. Picking one, the thin skin peeled away easily to reveal amber-colored flesh, and the sweet-tart juice immediately awakened my taste buds. I was more fond of hunting for wild strawberries in the grass—those ruby-like little fruits carrying the warmth of sunshine taste most wonderful when covered with morning dew. This mountain-nestled hotel transforms the gifts of the 24 solar terms into thoughtful touches everywhere: in the morning you can pick peaches from your window, while at night plum wine gently swirls in porcelain bottles as you read... As dusk deepened, I leaned against an old tea tree in the courtyard looking through photos of our fruit picking. Suddenly I noticed some tender yellow shoots by the stone steps—the hotel's planted "forget-worry grass" had bloomed. At that moment, I suddenly understood that poetic living is simply achieving a gentle understanding with nature in the right season. When leaving, the front desk gave me a small jar of homemade green plum extract with "May you remember the sweetness of Wuyi" handwritten on the glass bottle—perhaps the most precious souvenir for travelers. **Practical Information:** - Address: No. 38 Maoping, Sangu Resort Area, Wuyishan, about 2 km from Sangu Old Street, 1.7 km from Impression Dahongpao Theater, and 1.2 km from the scenic area entrance - Picking season: May-June - Special tip: Non-slip shoes recommended during rainy season - Public welfare policy: Free public transportation throughout Wuyishan, free admission to main scenic areas - Taste memory: Don't miss the Langu smoked goose and Wuyi light pancakes for breakfast
