A Treasure Inn Discovered in Xingyi Wanfenglin | Rong Su This is a treasure guesthouse hidden in the Xingyi Wanfenglin, a world geological park, where every beautiful detail is a testament to the artisanal spirit of its creators. What I particularly admire is Rong Su's design of the indoor windows. All rooms cleverly utilize the misalignment of space, achieving a 'window to scenery' effect. Each window serves as a picture frame, combining with the natural landscape to form a beautiful mountain and water painting that unfolds before your eyes. In such a beautiful environment, whether it's a fresh morning or a leisurely afternoon, brewing a pot of the local high mountain tea, gazing out the window at the distant peaks and the swirling mists, one can truly relax both body and mind in the tranquility.

Literally translating as Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks, Wanfenglin is one of China’s largest areas of karst landscape, famed for its tower-like fenglin formations. On either side of the valley, the karst hills rise from the horizon like humps on a sleeping dragon’s back. 🌲This area has what many popular areas lost long ago - a palpable sense of being well off the international tourist trail. And the best way is to cycling around instead of taking the suttle bus. The area is super clean with a sense of calm. make sure to take active wear because there are a lot of outdoor activities to do, and the best way to enjoy the area is by bike. All in all I would definitely recommend this place as it has not yet been discovered by the crowds ☺️ #naturalwonders#camping#nationalpark#lakes
