[2025 Mabian Stay] Travel Guide for HITI ALRUO in Mabian Creek (Updated Jan)

The road from Mabian County to Xiaoguxi is in good condition. The road winds through the mountains, and you can feel the warmth and greenery of the mountains in the car, which is a great relaxation for people who are used to living in concrete houses. Mabian Aranya B&B makes the most of the natural scenery of the mountain village and frames it in the windows, which is the biggest surprise Xiaoguxi has brought me! The bedding is always well received, and the quiet mountain village makes it easy to get a good night's sleep. The next day, the clouds and mist surround the village, making it look like a fairyland. The barbecue at night and the wontons in the morning are delicious! The smiles of the children around the B&B are very pure, and a single candy can make them smile happily, which is probably what we could only see when we were kids. Although I only stayed here for one night, I felt the joy of "returning to nature after being in a cage for a long time." I like Aranya B&B, and I will continue to experience other Aranya stores one by one.

It's a great place to relax with friends. The facilities exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and well-equipped. The price was great value for money. The air was fresh and the surroundings were quiet. The host was very friendly and provided detailed information about the route, parking, and dining options. The service was excellent and comparable to a star-rated hotel. The journey was long, but the road was good. The highway goes all the way to Mabian County. The road up the mountain is a two-way asphalt road with many curves, so drive carefully at night. The homestay offers Yi ethnic clothing for guests to try on. The tea mountains and villages nearby are great for taking photos. The starry sky at night was beautiful. You can eat at the homestay or drive half an hour to the county. The homestay's prices were reasonable. We had a barbecue on the rooftop, which was delicious. The breakfast was Mabian-style wontons, which were better than regular wontons. There weren't any particularly stunning views, but the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. It's a great place to unwind.

The B&B is located in a Yi village in Xiaoxi Valley. It was renovated from a former primary school and was jointly built by OCT and Alanli. Away from the hustle and bustle, but also very quiet. The design style of Yuyan Hotel is simple and bright, recreating the beauty of a rural courtyard. The light and shadow are intertwined downstairs, and you can sleep quietly upstairs, not deliberately catering but never neglecting, just simple comfort and romance. Here, the whole person feels separated from the daily trivialities and awakens the pure nature in the heart. It is a place where you can dream. It is a rare pleasure to make a cup of Mabian green tea on the terrace of Chashan, put on Yi costumes and drink tea and chat with friends. 🧡
