Dushan County, a small mountainous town in Qiannan Prefecture, Guizhou, is a convenient place to stay when visiting the Xiaoqikong and Daqikong scenic areas in Libo. We chose to stay at the Baiquan Grand Hotel in Nanguo Impression Central City, which is surrounded by numerous restaurants and shopping malls, making it quite convenient. The hotel's decor is quite stylish, incorporating the unique mountain and rock formations of Guizhou into its design, creating an artistic setting that exudes a sense of understated luxury. For a four-star business hotel, it is quite impressive. We stayed in a superior twin room, which was 37 square meters in size, making it spacious and comfortable. The room rate, including breakfast for two, was less than 2,000 TWD! This price is very reasonable. Unfortunately, we had to check out early the next morning to visit the scenic areas, so we didn't have time to enjoy the public facilities, but overall, the stay was quite pleasant.

Wherever there are karst limestone canyon terrains, stalactite cave landscapes are often found, and this is especially common in Guizhou. The 'Dushan Tiandong' we are visiting this time, themed around a sea of flowers on flat ground and blossoms competing, is a representative scenic area of cave landscapes. The stalactite caves are bizarre and unique, locally known as 'Fairy Caves'. Located on Duxiu Peak between Dushan and Libo, the entrance is halfway up the mountain. The trails are well-maintained and illuminated with colorful lights, further highlighting the peculiar rocks and formations, creating a mysterious and otherworldly atmosphere. The entire Dushan Scenic Area is quite large. Besides Tiandong, it also includes Tian Tower, Tianwang Square, Iron-skin Dendrobium Theme Park, Celebrity Botanical Garden, Royal Garden, Tianyi Lake, Buyi Ethnic Village, Baishui Spring, Qianshui Spring, Wanshou Lake, and more. The entrance fee is around 98 RMB.

Today, 10 friends and I checked into the Dushan Jianyi International Hotel. It's a hotel with good reviews on Journey.com and is even touted as a five-star hotel. We were disappointed even before we even entered the hotel! The 10-person bus had to park at the main entrance. We saw escalators on both sides and thought we could take our luggage up to the hotel entrance. But when we called security, the escalators weren't even open. They said we didn't have a key to start them. So, we ended up carrying all our luggage up the stairs, including some elderly people in their 60s and 70s! What the hell?! A five-star hotel doesn't even have a porter, and the escalators are useless! We came based on the reviews, but we were so disappointed! We reported it to the front desk, but we didn't get a satisfactory response or any compensation. How can they still call themselves a five-star hotel? Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 don’t embarrass yourself!

Setting off from Guiyang early in the morning, we drove along winding mountain roads toward Dushan in Qiannan. Outside the car window, the mountains gradually turned a deep green, and the scent of grass and trees in the air grew stronger. After three hours, the navigation announced, “Jiafenyan Scenic Area reached,” and we finally arrived at this secret haven tucked deep in the mountains. Entrance: The Stunning Silver Ribbon Waterfall As soon as we stepped through the scenic area’s gate, we heard the deafening roar of water. Following the sound, a hundred-meter-high waterfall suddenly came into view—the water cascaded from the cliff top like a silver ribbon hanging between the mountains, splashing everywhere and forming delicate rainbows in the sunlight. Moss covered the surrounding rocks, their lush green color complementing the babbling stream, as if nature had carefully sculpted a masterpiece. We stood on the viewing platform in front of the waterfall, arms outstretched, feeling the mist hit our faces. The coolness instantly washed away the fatigue of the journey. Our friends took out their phones to take pictures but found no matter how they tried, they couldn’t capture the waterfall’s full grandeur. A local guide nearby smiled and said, “This is just the appetizer; the scenery inside is even more spectacular.” Boardwalk: Coolness Deep in the Forest Walking along the wooden boardwalk deeper into the canyon, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The sound of flowing water and crisp bird calls filled the air. Occasionally, squirrels leapt between branches, rustling the leaves. The creek beside the boardwalk was crystal clear, revealing pebbles and small fish swimming below. We couldn’t resist taking off our shoes and dipping our feet into the water—the chill was biting but so refreshing we didn’t want to pull away. After about half an hour, we reached a suspension bridge hanging over the rushing stream. The bridge swayed slightly with each step. Looking down from the bridge, we saw the turbulent water crashing against rocks, sending up sprays like flying snow. The children in our group excitedly ran back and forth on the bridge, making it sway even more, prompting shouts and laughter. Creek Valley: Playful Water Fun Crossing the suspension bridge, we arrived at a wide creek valley. The water here was calm and shallow, just ankle-deep—perfect for splashing around. We placed the watermelon we brought into the creek to chill, then sat on stones by the shore, eating the cool fruit while watching the kids play in the water. The little fish weren’t afraid of people and occasionally swam up to nibble gently at our ankles, tickling us. The guide explained that the water here comes from mountain springs, not only cool but rich in minerals. We lay down in the creek, closed our eyes, and listened to the flowing water, feeling nature’s coolness and tranquility. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, warming our faces, while insect and bird sounds filled the air. It felt as if all worries were washed away by the creek. Viewing Platform: Majestic Layers of Peaks Continuing along the creek, we reached the mountaintop viewing platform. From here, we overlooked the valley, taking in the layers of peaks and strange rock formations. The creek in the canyon wound like a jade belt through the mountains. Distant peaks appeared faintly through the mist, like a traditional Chinese landscape painting. The guide pointed to a distant peak and said, “That’s the main peak of Jiafenyan. The gap between the peaks looks like it was cut by a knife, which is why it’s called Jiafenyan.” We looked in the direction he indicated and saw two peaks closely side by side, with a small waterfall flowing through the gap, like the mountain’s tears. Return Journey: The Coolness Left in Our Hearts At dusk, we began to leave the scenic area. Looking back at the waterfall and creek deep in the canyon, we felt reluctant to leave. As the car exited the area, the setting sun painted the sky orange-red. Gazing at the mountains outside the window, I could almost still hear the roar of the waterfall and the babbling of the creek. Dushan Jiafenyan has no crowded crowds or noisy commercial streets—only green mountains, clear water, waterfalls, and dense forests, like a hidden paradise deep in the mountains. It’s not only a visual feast but also a spiritual cleansing. Next time, I definitely want to stay here overnight, listen to the insects and birds, and watch the morning mist envelop this mountain-water secret realm. 1.

At seven in the morning, Bijie city was still shrouded in a light mist. We drove northwest and arrived at the entrance of Cold Water River National Forest Park after forty minutes. As soon as we got out of the car, a cool breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees greeted us, instantly dispelling the city’s heat—this was Cold Water River’s first gift to us. Entering the Valley: The Clear Stream Sonata on Mossy Stones Following the scenic trail into the river valley, the stone steps beneath our feet gradually became covered with moss, and the sound of passing cars was replaced by the gentle babbling of water. Turning a corner, a clear pool came into view: the water surface was like polished glass, reflecting the green trees on both banks. A few small fish swam between the cracks in the stones, their scales clearly visible. A friend squatted down and reached out to touch the water, then quickly pulled back, exclaiming, “Wow, it’s really cold! Like it’s been iced.” Walking along the stream deeper into the valley, the trees grew denser. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting golden dappled light on the ground. Occasionally, spring water dripped from the cliff walls, hitting the rocks with a “ding-dong” sound that blended with the stream’s “whoosh,” creating a natural sonata. We stopped on a flat boulder, took out the cold noodles we had prepared, and ate them with the mountain breeze—ordinary cold noodles somehow tasted like a delicacy. Exploring the Depths: The Light and Shadow Magic of the “One Line Sky” Further in, the valley suddenly narrowed, with cliff walls almost touching on both sides, leaving only a narrow strip of sky overhead—this is Cold Water River’s “One Line Sky.” Standing at the valley bottom and looking up, sunlight slanted through the narrow sky, casting mottled shadows on the wet cliff walls. The moss on the cliffs glowed emerald green, like scattered jade fragments. We stepped on stones in the water, which reached above our ankles. The icy cold sensation crept up our calves, making us shiver. Suddenly, a friend pointed at the cliff and shouted, “Look, a geyser!” I looked up to see a thin stream spurting from a crack in the cliff, stopping every few minutes like a playful child playing hide-and-seek. It’s said the spring’s flow changes with the weather, reaching a height of a person on rainy days. Unfortunately, it was sunny when we visited, so we only got a small show. Playing in the Water: Childhood Echoes on the Shallow Beach Exiting the “One Line Sky,” the valley opened up again, revealing a shallow beach with calm water and clearly visible pebbles on the riverbed. Several local children were barefoot, splashing in the water. Seeing us, they warmly invited, “Come play! There are little crabs in the water!” We took off our shoes and stepped in, feeling the slippery moss on the stones beneath our feet. I bent down to touch a crab, but it pinched me with its large claw, making me jerk my hand away in pain, which made the children laugh heartily. A girl in our group took out her phone and crouched in the water to film the small fish. The sunlight danced on the water surface, stretching her shadow long. I sat on a rock by the shore, watching the children chase and play in the water, listening to their laughter, and suddenly remembered my childhood days playing by the river in my hometown—back then, the river was just as clear and cool, and we too went barefoot, catching fish and shrimp until sunset before going home. Reaching the Summit: The Distant Mountains Layered in Green from Jinxiantai At two in the afternoon, we followed a local guide up the mountain to see another scenic spot of Cold Water River—Jinxiantai. The mountain path was tougher than the valley trail, covered with mossy stones. We climbed using tree branches for support, sweating heavily after a short distance. The guide smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s cooler at the top, and you can see the whole Cold Water River.” Finally reaching the summit, the view opened up dramatically: Cold Water River looked like a green ribbon winding through the valley, with layers of verdant mountains on both sides and distant peaks faintly visible in the mist. Jinxiantai was right below us, a protruding rock said to have water flowing down like golden threads on rainy days. We sat on the rock, feeling the mountain breeze and gazing at the valley below, deeply moved—seeing Cold Water River from above, it was truly beautiful. Return Journey: The Ecological Report in the Clear Waves On the way down, we walked back along the valley and passed a water quality monitoring station where staff were collecting water samples. The guide said, “This river used to be full of garbage and smelled bad, but after years of government restoration, it’s clear again.” I recalled the clear stream we saw entering the valley and felt deeply moved—restoring this river must have taken a lot of effort. As we left the park, the setting sun dyed the river golden. We looked back at the valley with reluctance. A friend said, “Come again in winter. Cold Water River should be quieter then, and maybe we’ll see frost.” I nodded, already looking forward to it—next time, I want to bring a tent and stay by the valley overnight, falling asleep to the sound of the stream. It should be wonderful. As the car left the forest park, I looked at the green mountains outside the window and suddenly understood Cold Water River’s charm: it’s not just a cool stream, but an ecological achievement jointly protected by nature and humans. Every drop of water, every patch of moss, every bird’s call tells a story of protection and rebirth. 1. Preparation Before Travel Best Time to Visit · Summer (June to August): The top choice!

After winding through countless mountain roads, the city's hustle and bustle has long since vanished. The rustic luxury of Puyu is evident in the dozen or so thatched-roof houses scattered across the mountains, unassuming and understated, blending seamlessly with the surrounding karst peaks, sea of ​​clouds, and terraced fields—quiet yet powerful. The architecture is simple: rammed earth, logs, and thatch—no superfluous embellishments, retaining only its most authentic form. Yet, stepping through the door reveals meticulous attention to detail. The entire house is heated, the old wooden furniture feels warm and comfortable to the touch, and the 270° floor-to-ceiling windows act like natural picture frames, offering panoramic views of the rolling mountains and ever-flowing clouds. The most unforgettable experience is the private hot spring perched on the cliff edge. The soaking tub hangs precariously on the cliff face, with mist drifting at your feet and distant mountains standing silently. Soaking in the warm spring water, feeling the breeze, watching the clouds, and listening to the sounds of the forest, the fatigue and anxieties of the journey are effortlessly soothed. The hotel's food is also incredibly appealing. There's no fancy plating; it's all about the natural flavors of local ingredients. The free-range chicken soup is heartwarmingly delicious, the mountain vegetables are refreshing and cleansing, and even a simple bowl of rice is fragrant. Enjoying a meal slowly by the warm light of the evening sun, with the twilight illuminating the mountains outside the window, is a truly comforting experience. The rustic luxury of Puyu isn't about ostentatious displays of wealth, but about having complete peace and quiet in this wilderness. Nestled among the clouds, hidden in the mountains, accompanied by a sea of ​​clouds and gazing at the starry sky, Puyu's rustic luxury reveals that true luxury is a mind free of distractions, breathing deeply between heaven and earth.

The car climbs up the winding mountain road in Qiannan, the altitude rising steadily, and the city's noise gradually left behind by the continuous mountains. When arriving at Pu Yu Ye Luxury, the mist just drifts over the mountain tops. Nineteen standalone cottages are scattered atop the 1,600-meter-high mountain peak, with thatched roofs and log walls, as if they naturally grew from this wilderness, quietly nestled within 400 acres of uninhabited mountain land. Stepping into the standalone villa, the entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows frames the surrounding mountains. The interior uses old wood materials, giving a tactile sense of quality. The mountain air is cool in the mornings and evenings, and the floor heating makes it especially comfortable. The bathroom faces the cliff, and soaking in the bathtub allows you to watch the mist float through the valley. The sound of the wind rustling through the trees is soft, helping you slow down completely. In the afternoon, enjoy tea on the terrace, where the butler serves ginger tea and local snacks. The terraced fields layer one upon another in the distance, and the sea of clouds occasionally surges. The east terrace is perfect for waiting for sunrise, while the west side offers a particularly beautiful sunset view. If you want to walk, follow a guide for a stroll in the forest and listen to the sound of the stream; if you prefer to relax, cozy up in the book bar to read or daydream—it’s very pleasant. The luxury of Pu Yu is never about lavish decoration but about blending the freedom of the wilderness with the delicacy of life. Soaking in the cliffside bathtub watching the clouds, chatting around the fire pit, and fully relaxing on the undisturbed mountain peak.

Travel Guide: 🏨 Dushan Zilinshan Haoli Villa Hotel 🔥 Highlights: The world's largest pure wooden structure Costing hundreds of millions! Completed in 2019, it sparked widespread online discussion and has now become a new landmark in Dushan. The semi-open design reveals the shadows of wooden carvings, and on sunny days, sunlight filters through the wooden lattice, creating a stunning view. 🚗 Transportation: Only a 10-minute walk from Shuisi Building Adjacent to Shuisi Building, you can visit it right after stepping out. It is only a 20-minute drive from the high-speed rail station, making transportation convenient. 🛏️ Accommodation Experience: Stay in a "museum" The room decor continues the classical style, extensively using Chinese wooden elements, with comfortable bedding. Opening the window reveals a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, allowing you to take in the entire wooden building. 🍴 Dining: Miao ethnic specialty cuisine The restaurant offers Miao specialty dishes, such as pan-fried Zilinshan tofu and bamboo fungus matsutake soup.

At the peak of the mountains in Qiannan, Guizhou, 1600 meters above sea level in the clouds, lies a secluded wild luxury secret realm called Pu Yu Wild Luxury. Here, there is no city noise, only the gentle whisper of mountain winds brushing over thatched roofs and the grandeur of the sea of clouds rolling by. As you wind up the serpentine mountain road, when the last ray of sunlight falls on the terrace at the cliff’s edge, you will understand that this journey is about finding a resting place for the soul. The architecture of Pu Yu is an art of "invisibility." Nineteen standalone villas are scattered among the mountains, with thatched roofs and yellow earth walls that seem to grow out of the rocky mountains, blending seamlessly with the primeval forest. Each villa features 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, the furniture is crafted from old African wood, sofas are from British designer brands, and the temperature is regulated year-round with underfloor heating and air conditioning. The most stunning feature is the bathroom’s floor-to-ceiling window facing the cliff. Soaking in the bathtub, watching the mountain mist drift past your feet, it feels like having a private conversation with nature. The "luxury" here is the confidence to live life like poetry. The butler will serve you warm ginger tea and tell ancient stories of the Shui ethnic group by the fire pit; the latte art at the coffee bar hides the contours of the mountains, and the bar’s signature cocktails are made with local herbs. When slightly tipsy, just look up to see the Milky Way pouring down. In winter, the crackling charcoal fire for tea brewing mingles the scent of tea with pine wood, making even time feel soft. Sunset is the most enchanting moment at Pu Yu. Standing on the cliff swing, watch the terraced fields turn golden under the setting sun, the sea of clouds rolling like molten gold, until the last orange-red fades into the ridge and the starry sky quietly spreads across the heavens. In the morning, you might be awakened by the skylark outside your window. Open the window, and the mountain mist flows at your feet, as if you could reach out and touch the clouds. Transportation Guide Address: Qishan Village, Baiquan Town, Dushan County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. By Car: About 2 hours from Guiyang, or take the high-speed train to Duyun East Station and then transfer by car. Special Experience: Helicopter transfer available, 20 minutes direct to the cloud secret realm (reservation required). Here, every moment is a heartfelt gaze with nature. Pu Yu Wild Luxury is not the destination, but a way to rediscover the world. 🏨Pu Yu Wild Luxury [RoundNails] Dushan Qishan Village Jiaobi Group

Zilinshan Haolivilla Hotel is transformed from the much-discussed "World's Number One Shu Si Lou" in Dushan, Guizhou. It officially opened in May 2025 and is located in the core area of Jingxin Valley Scenic Area, adjacent to Zilinshan National Forest Park. It is the top-ranked luxury hotel in Dushan County, Qiannan, with a Trip.com platform rating of 4.9 out of 5. The overall stay experience combines visual impact, mountain forest vacation vibes, and high cost performance, though there are some objective shortcomings. Detailed experience is as follows: Core Experience Highlights 1. Landmark-level Visuals and Natural Environment The main building of the hotel is grand and magnificent, with layered shapes outlined by night lighting, resembling a palace in the mountains, making it a key photo spot. The park also features traditional-style pavilions, lotus ponds, lantern theaters, and other supporting landscapes, offering excellent photo opportunities. The hotel backs onto green mountains and is surrounded by lush plants, rich in negative oxygen ions, truly a natural oxygen bar. Guests can be awakened by birdsong in the morning, completely isolated from city noise, making it especially suitable for peaceful wellness and slow-paced vacations. 2. Thoughtful Service, Family-Friendly Check-in at the front desk is efficient and smooth, with friendly staff. During off-peak seasons, free room upgrades are often available. Families with children receive complimentary kids’ breakfast and special Dushan local gifts for guests. Overall service response is timely without the distance often felt at high-end hotels. 3. Outstanding Cost Performance, Suitable for Diverse Travel Needs Basic daily room rates are only 300-400 RMB per night for a luxury mountain view room. Business suites are around 800 RMB, and the top-tier executive luxury suites are about 2000 RMB per night. Compared to similar standard resort hotels, the cost performance advantage is clear. The hotel has 376 rooms in total, covering 12 room types, from standard rooms and family rooms to executive suites with private hot spring pools, catering to couples, family vacations, and friend gatherings. Room Accommodation Details The rooms mainly feature a Japanese-style tranquil design combined with modern sophistication. The space is spacious and bright with excellent natural lighting. Most room types offer mountain views of layered peaks right from the window. · Core Features: Soft and skin-friendly bedding ensures high sleep comfort; bathrooms have dry and wet separation with standard independent bathtubs, some facing the mountain view so guests can soak while enjoying the greenery, creating a full atmosphere; spacious dressing areas, quality bathrobes and toiletries, and a well-stocked minibar. · Detail Highlights: Custom furniture with excellent texture, well-crafted lighting ambiance paired with elegant fragrances, creating a strong sense of relaxation; excellent hygiene reputation with no dead corners, and bathroom metal fittings kept clean. Some high-end rooms have balconies with private hot spring pools offering great privacy. Dining and Supporting Facilities 1. Dining Experience Breakfast combines Chinese and Western styles with a wide variety of options. Besides regular dishes, local Dushan specialties are offered with good taste recognition. The hotel has both Chinese and Western restaurants, featuring Qiannan-Cantonese fusion cuisine crafted by a five-star chef. Authentic sour soup fish, firewood smoked bacon, and other wild mountain flavors can be enjoyed for around 100 RMB per person, balancing local specialties and popular tastes. However, the selection may be reduced during non-peak hours. 2. Leisure Facilities The hotel is well-equipped with a heated swimming pool, a gym open until 11 PM, a VR experience center, and a chess and card room. The pool water is clear with professional lifeguards on duty and is usable year-round. There are also Miao medicine therapy, herbal baths, and public hot spring pools for wellness. The public pools change water daily, providing a good experience to help guests relax and relieve stress. Objective Shortcomings and Tips 1. Remote Location with Limited Surrounding Facilities The hotel is about 20 kilometers from Dushan County town and is only suitable for self-driving. Public transportation is very inconvenient. Apart from the hotel and scenic area, there are almost no commercial facilities nearby. Dining options are limited to the hotel or nearby farms, with no additional nighttime leisure venues. 2. Some Details Still Need Improvement Some guests have reported average sound insulation in certain room types, with noise from corridors and adjacent rooms easily heard. Basic rooms do not have smart toilets, and some detail configurations lag behind the high-end positioning. 3. Large Price Fluctuations During Holidays During peak seasons such as National Day and Spring Festival, room prices can more than double. High-end suite prices can reach 3800 RMB per night and are often fully booked. Early booking and off-peak stays are recommended for holiday travel.

This was a true "adventure"! My best friend and I drove deep into the continuous mountains of Qiannan, Guizhou, just to reach the Puyu Wild Luxury Hotel hanging on the edge of the cliff. When the sea of clouds surged beneath our feet and the infinity pool met the sky, we knew all the travel fatigue was worth it. ⛰️ What does it feel like to live in the clouds? All the hotel rooms are standalone tent villas scattered across the cliffs, offering great privacy. We stayed in the "Sea of Clouds King Room," with three sides of huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the canyon and distant mountains. Opening the curtains in the morning felt like being inside an IMAX giant screen theater, with the sea of clouds, sunrise, and mountains all forming a dynamic painting. The tent interior is decorated warmly with wood and leather, equipped with floor heating, a bathtub, and a smart toilet, ensuring ultimate comfort in the wilderness. 🏊 Cliffside pool, a perfect photo spot! The hotel's signature feature is this cliffside infinity pool. Although swimming is not allowed in winter, the pool water reflecting the sky is a stunning sight itself. We wore beautiful vacation dresses and took many great shots by the pool and on the viewing platform. It’s recommended to shoot between 4-5 pm when the light is soft, balancing both people and scenery. The hotel also offers drone aerial photography services to capture this breathtaking scene from a god’s-eye view. 🍲 A feast in the wild mountains: The hotel’s restaurant offers excellent views. Many ingredients are locally sourced. We enjoyed sour soup fish, spicy chicken, and various wild vegetables, all very authentic. Breakfast includes set meals plus a buffet, and the Guizhou specialty lamb noodles are a must-try. Surrounded by mountains, enjoying a hot meal feels especially delicious. ⚠️ Practical tips before your trip: Transportation: Only self-driving or chartered cars can reach here. It’s about a 3-hour drive from Guiyang, with the last part being a winding mountain road, so experienced drivers are recommended. The hotel has a parking lot. Season: Winter is one of the best seasons to see the sea of clouds, but temperatures are low, so bring plenty of warm clothes. The rooms have floor heating and are very cozy. Activities: The hotel offers hiking trails, a stargazing platform, bonfire parties, and more. You can consult the butler in advance to make reservations. Mindset: This place is far from all city conveniences, and signals may be unstable. It’s the perfect time to put down your phone and fully immerse yourself in nature and companionship. Puyu Wild Luxury Hotel is a reward prepared for the brave. It offers the wildest scenery and the most comfortable accommodations, bringing you unprecedented impact and comfort. Come with your bold and photo-loving best friend; this will definitely be the most vivid chapter in your travel history!

Looking for a true sanctuary, free of tourists and filled only with nature? My bestie and I set our sights on Puyu Wild Luxury Hotel in Guizhou. This was more than just a stay—it felt like stepping into a National Geographic cover story. Here, we relearned how to cheer for a cloud, a star, or the call of a bird. 🚶‍♀️ Mountain hiking, discovering the micro world: The hotel offers several hiking trails of varying difficulty. We chose the shortest one and set off under the guidance of the butler. Along the way, the butler taught us to identify various plants and shared stories of the mountains. We saw strange mushrooms, beautiful moss, and the fleeting shadow of a squirrel. Breathing in the air rich with negative ions, our spirits felt incredibly refreshed. After the hike, we felt invigorated and our appetites were wide open. 🔥 Campfire and conversations under the starry sky: At night, if the weather is clear, the hotel lights a campfire. We sat around it with a few other guests, roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes while listening to the crackling wood. Looking up, we saw a dazzling Milky Way unlike anything in the city. We reminisced about childhood stargazing, shared work worries, and under the wild starry sky, everything felt small yet our hearts were full. The hotel also provides telescopes for clearer views of the moon and stars. 📚 Healing moments inside the tent: When not outside, the tent was our cozy haven. The room had a BOSE speaker where we played our favorite playlists. My bestie read by the window’s lounge chair while I soaked in the bathtub, gazing at the mountain view in a daze. Occasionally, we exchanged smiles without words. This complete relaxation, being together yet undisturbed, is the best form of friendship. 💌 A few tips for those longing to visit: About booking: Rooms are limited and very popular, so be sure to book in advance on platforms like Trip.com. About luggage: Travel light, bringing only essential skincare, thermal underwear, and a thick jacket. About expectations: Let go of expectations for bustling convenience and be ready to embrace nature’s unpredictability (like weather changes). This is the charm of wild luxury. About companions: Make sure to come with like-minded friends or partners who enjoy tranquility to truly resonate with this beauty. At Puyu Wild Luxury Hotel, we experienced a dual spa for both mind and body. It stripped away the complexities of modern life, bringing us back to simplicity and allowing us to reconnect with the grandeur of nature and the warmth of friendship. This journey requires a bit of determination to reach, but its rewards will shine brightly in your memories for a long time.
