The place I visited was the Fengyan Terraced Fields in Hanyin. There weren't many tourists this season. The green valleys were both cool and healing. 🏠This time I stayed at the newly opened Yunhai Lodging in the terraced fields. It costs about four to five hundred a night, with a rustic wooden style, The rooms are large and clean, making for a very comfortable stay. Restaurant/Bookstore/Coffee shop... You can lie flat here all day long. ☁️The highlight is that you can really see the sea of clouds. Sitting on the observation deck in the morning with a coffee, Looking at the distant sea of clouds, It feels just like a fairyland. 📍Nearby attractions to enjoy~ Tent campsite Facing the entire terraced fields, the view is unbeatable. Here you can have afternoon tea/eat hot pot No need to rush to the scenic spots, especially relaxing. You can also stay in a tent at night. 🛖Fengjia Fort A Qing dynasty family compound. The ancient architecture has a sense of age. 🚙Navigate to Luchaishan Ji Yunhai Lodging. As you approach, you have to drive on a winding mountain road. It feels like Mount Akina in Shaanxi in autumn.
