Hidden on the top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, every cabin here looks like it came out of a painting, nestled against the mountain and water, and next to the sea of clouds. Open the window, and you will see a fairyland in the clouds within reach; close your eyes, and you will hear the gentle wind and the whispers of the mountain stream in the distance. Design As soon as you step into the homestay, you will be deeply attracted by its unique decoration style. The combination of retro and modern, the large bathtub facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the greenery outside the window while taking a bath make you feel like you are living in an oil painting. At night, you can enjoy the starry sky, which is an unimaginable luxury in the city. Room We chose a room with a smart door lock, which is safe and convenient. The room is fully equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a hairdryer, and 24-hour hot water to ensure comfort and convenience during the trip. The most surprising thing is that the homestay does not accept extra beds or cribs, ensuring the privacy and tranquility of each room. Food As for food, the restaurant at Guoyun Mountain Residence perfectly combines authentic mountain delicacies with creative cuisine, and every dish is an ultimate temptation to the taste buds. Dining in the clouds is not only a taste enjoyment but also a visual and spiritual feast. Experience Don't forget to bring your camera or phone, because every frame here is a beautiful wallpaper!
