| A Tatami Mat, Half a Day of Leisure. 📪 Address: Huangyaxiye Homestay, Shitai County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province 🏮Decoration Style: When you check in to the tatami room of Shitai Huangyaxiye Homestay, you'll find that the room is decorated in a minimalist Japanese style with log color and linen texture as the main tone. The low tatami bed is matched with soft and fluffy bedding, which retains the minimalist Zen style of Japan and integrates the rustic charm of the mountain dwellings in southern Anhui. I especially like the design of the tatami, it is super convenient to put things on the tatami and take them at hand 🛏 What I like most is the floor-to-ceiling window design. During the day, you can lean lazily by the window, brew a pot of Shitai selenium tea, and watch the clouds and mist pass over the mountains; at night, you can draw the curtains, and the warm yellow chandelier reflects the wooden beams, which directly fills the atmosphere 🍵 🕹Activities: Inside the homestay: The courtyard of the homestay is relatively large, so you can always come out for a walk and breathe in the full negative oxygen ions; the suspension bridge spans the stream in the lower reaches of the Grand Canyon. It is very photogenic to stand on the suspension bridge on a cloudy day with the landscape as the background and the leaves as the foreground; it is also very beautiful to stand in the restaurant and take pictures of the white tents and blue sky peaks in the leisure area through the red lanterns. Of course, aerial photography looks good^_^; at night, you can also sing on the small stage in the bonfire area, singing very happily and having a great time 🎤 Outside the homestay: The homestay is located in the Zuishanye Scenic Area, and you can walk to two nearby attractions, Huangya Grand Canyon and Ciyun Ancient Cave. The Grand Canyon is for climbing mountains and playing in the water, and there are waterfall groups; Ciyun Ancient Cave is a karst cave with many beautiful lights, and the temperature inside the cave is also very cool. Other attractions that require driving include Shitai Guniujiang, Qiupu River, Baishi Ridge, Penglai Fairy Cave, etc. 🚗 🍆Dining Features: There is a restaurant in the homestay, and the decoration style is also simple and elegant. You can sit in the booth by the stream and enjoy the stream while eating. The dishes are also delicious and the price is really not expensive, the price/performance ratio is super high 🍷 ✨Tips: It is more cost-effective to buy a package ticket for scenic spot tickets from the group buying website You can bring more clothes to take beautiful photos, the homestay is very suitable for taking pictures
