Muli Hong Village is the highest ancient village in Anhui, with 276 days of sea of clouds a year.

Looking out the window, even if you get up at 9 am every day, you can see the white mist rising from the bamboo forest. Walking on the bluestone slabs in the village is like walking in the sky city, with clouds all around you. I want to write about Muli Hong Village because it is the highest ancient village in Anhui, with three sides suspended and 276 days of sea of clouds a year. Because I stayed here for two nights, every farmhouse was busy in spring, full of vitality and freshness. 1. The "strangeness" of Muli Hong Village. In terms of ancient villages in Anhui, it is rare to see a village with three sides suspended like a ship, standing on a high mountain with bamboo. The village has preserved its original architectural features, and at sunrise, you can see the sea of clouds surrounding the entire village. 2. The "joy" of Muli Hong Village. I can feel the "busy" joy of spring in Muli Hong Village, with every household receiving guests and drying bamboo shoots on Sundays. As soon as I entered the village, I saw a woman cutting bamboo shoots, and the fragrance of bamboo shoots filled the air. Then, an old lady was making pickles, with cats and dogs guarding her. People passing by asked for the name of the inn because 90% of the farmers in Muli Hong Village have opened their own farmhouses, and there is a lot of vitality under the business opportunities. Those with tea gardens are still picking tea, and the inn is cooking its own farmhouse dishes and selling some homemade dried plums, which are the most fragrant dried plums I have ever eaten. 3. The "busyness" of Muli Hong Village. Because the village has developed, but it is not commercialized, it is not insured by any scenic spot, but operated by the villagers themselves. Families with elderly people cannot run an inn. Instead, many young people in the village come back to help their families run the inn, cook, and dig bamboo shoots. They give their families advice on how to renovate. Although it costs 120 per night, it is a good income for farmers, as spring weekends are usually fully booked. Even neighboring villagers come here to find work, some as porters, some as cooks, or cleaners. The villagers are very busy, quickly cleaning up dishes, sheets, and drying them... The fragrance of bamboo shoots, the smell of mud, and the burnt aroma of firewood for cooking. Smoke surrounds the village on three sides, and the air is filled with the fresh taste of bamboo. The breeze with flowing clouds is what I like about Muli Hong Village.
