It was not until I really came to that paradise-like place that I realized that what was written in the poem was true. "I built my house in the human world, but there is no noise of carriages and horses." When I was a child, I didn't understand why there was any nostalgia for it, and I didn't believe that there really was a paradise on earth. But who would have thought that one day we would be able to be deep in the mountains, immersed in the beauty of nature, while enjoying the comfort of modern life and truly feeling the artistic conception of ancient poetry. 🌿 Arrive at Cuiwuli The Cuiwuli B&B around Fuzhou is hidden among the mountains and can be reached in half an hour by train!
