Weekend/Holiday Escape Plan｜24 Hours of Mountain Wilderness Healing Time at Qiexi Shanli

Don’t want your holiday to be crowded with people? Then drive to Qiexi Shanli in the Taihua Mountain Range of Yixing. A 2.5-hour drive to escape the city’s hustle and bustle, stepping into a secluded sanctuary embraced by a sea of bamboo, you’ll understand that the true meaning of a holiday is to slow down time. Wake up to birdsong in the early morning, open the window to misty mountain views, and sunlight filtering through the bamboo onto the wabi-sabi style terrace. Brew a pot of Yangxian black tea, paired with the guesthouse’s homemade multigrain breakfast, watching the light and shadows flow over the wooden furniture, with every breath filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees. There are plenty of afternoon activities to choose from: gather with friends in the tea room to brew tea around the stove, or follow the host to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots and hike through the forest. Kids can splash in the starry sky pool, and pets can run freely on the lawn. The evening atmosphere is especially charming, with the aroma of bamboo shoot stewed chicken wafting from the earth stove kitchen, BBQ sizzling by the bonfire, paired with freshly made hot red wine. Sitting around chatting with family and friends, laughter fills the evening breeze. If you visit in autumn or winter, the fireplace in the room will already be warm, soak in the private hot spring bath, watch the dusk dye the mountains and rivers red, and look up to see a sky full of stars, with a healing feeling that reaches deep into your heart. At night, cozy up in your room, watch your favorite movies on the big screen projector, wash away fatigue in the standalone bathtub, and grab snacks from the minibar at your convenience. No alarm clocks urging you, no work troubles, only the sounds of insects and frogs lulling you to sleep. Holidays here are never about rushing schedules, but about finding the true comfort of life in tea smoke, bonfires, and mountain breezes. Whether it’s a family trip, a romantic date, or a small gathering with friends, Qiexi Shanli can fulfill all your dreams of a perfect holiday. 📍Address: Qiexi Shanli Guesthouse, Taihua Town, Yixing 💡Tips: Pet-friendly and pets are welcome, bring a light jacket for autumn and winter, and remember to bring swimwear for the private hot spring experience~
