|Live in the cottage in the poem. This time when I went to Liyang, I felt like I was living in a small house in a poem. The small road I drove in was full of reeds, and the dozen or so guest rooms in the mountains were as quiet as a painting. B&B:Banxi Mingyue Location: Shaxi Ancient Town The entire homestay is very large, surrounded by mountains and water, with a large backyard, a glass house restaurant, a bar, and a swimming pool. They are all in a pastoral style. When the breeze blows, there is a hint of autumn coolness. The room is very spacious. You can vaguely see the green mountains in the distance when you open the window of the parent-child room. The most beautiful room type is [Endless Summer], which has a whole lotus pond and moonlight. The small courtyard at the door is really nice for taking photos. The original wood color wooden fence looks mottled and lazy in the morning sun. There is also a small farm and cafe next to the B&B, where you can also hold team building, camping and picnic activities! There is a Walden Bookstore nearby. Next to the bookstore is a small hill that looks like a cloud. It must be a scene from a cartoon. Tired from work, quickly hide in the mountains! Enjoy a long-lost relaxation
