Morning light filters through wooden lattice windows, mountain mist paints on the glass like an unfinished poem, and the suspended terrace is a sofa in the clouds. The river quietly brews starlight into a cup of cool goodnight tea. The rattan chair sways to the rhythm of the wind. Ferns crawl along the corners of the walls, writing secret messages about tranquility!
◦ Address: Qunli Village, Chengguan Town, Baihe County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, about a 20-minute drive from Baihe County town.
◦ Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. It takes over 4 hours to drive from Xi’an. The homestay has a parking lot with charging stations; there is no direct bus from the county town, so taking a taxi to the homestay is advised.
◦ Services: Before check-in, a housekeeper will create an exclusive service group for timely communication of needs. Some room types offer services such as luggage assistance and delivery of goodnight sweet soup.
2. Accommodation Options: A variety of room types with prices fluctuating on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Families with children should prioritize the forest slide treehouse priced from 1380 RMB+, with a slide suitable only for children—adults should not use it; couples can choose the mountain view deluxe suite from 1180 RMB+, featuring an outdoor pool and indoor bathtub; budget-friendly options include mountain view large/double rooms from 618 RMB+, with 32-40㎡ space and a viewing terrace. All rooms have complete facilities including separate wet and dry bathrooms, some equipped with branded toiletries and Bluetooth speakers.
3. Experiences Inside the Homestay
◦ Dining: Feihong Restaurant accommodates 40 people, specializing in Baihe seasonal dishes such as white fish, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the Han River while dining; there is also a treehouse café where you can relax with specialty drinks. Dining requires advance reservation to avoid missing meal times.
◦ Leisure: The infinity pool is a popular photo spot for sky mirror-style shots; in the afternoon, enjoy the breeze and Han River views from the terrace, and at night, stargaze; you can also stroll around Qunli Village where the homestay is located, visit mountain vegetable gardens and orchards, and experience the pastoral atmosphere.
4. Nearby Travel Routes
◦ 1-day short trip: Visit Kanzhi Waterfall in the morning, 45 minutes from the homestay, with a 20-minute hike to see the 30-meter-high waterfall; in the afternoon, explore Qiaoergou Ancient Town, see Ming and Qing dynasty old houses, and enjoy the atmosphere when lanterns light up at night.
◦ 2-day deep tour: On day one, check in at Miaoshan Village, climb to the top for a panoramic view of the Han River’s big bend, and stop by Liangshui Butterfly Lake to wade; on day two, visit Longtan River Scenic Area, boat through the waterfall clusters, and see the millennium-old hanging coffins on the cliffs. Remember to bring water and snacks in advance.
5. Notes
◦ There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent and take sun protection measures.
◦ The treehouse is far from the restaurant, making walking back and forth inconvenient; please communicate dining-related matters with the housekeeper in advance.
◦ The homestay parking lot is relatively small, so self-driving guests should park during off-peak times; check-in may be delayed, so it is recommended to confirm with the housekeeper in advance.
