Coffee at the Heart of the Earth ☕🌍 How to Have a Drink Inside a Sinkhole in Guizhou
“This isn't a fantasy — it's real!”
38℃ summer? Guizhou is the true summer cooling champion
“Dear family, while you’re melting in cities at 40℃, I’m wrapped in a jacket watching the sea of clouds in the mountains of Guizhou☁️ This is not to make you jealous, but Guizhou’s summer really knows how to keep cool!”
What makes Kaiyang Yunlu Wild Luxury Homestay most attractive is how well it combines "wild" and "luxury"—situated at an altitude of 1400 meters on a mountaintop, you can lie in bed and watch the sea of clouds, sunrise, and starry sky, while the living experience and dining standards rival those of high-end city hotels. 🌟 Why is it worth a special trip? · Live in a cloud paradise: Located at 1400 meters above sea level on a mountaintop, boasting 360-degree unobstructed mountain views. Open the window to see the sea of clouds, watch the sunrise dye the clouds red in the morning, and gaze at the dazzling Milky Way at night. · Rooms designed for the scenery: Recommended to stay in the "Mountaintop Panoramic Glass Room." The iconic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the scenery indoors, and some room types even have viewing terraces. The natural beauty is the most luxurious decoration here. · Exquisite wild charm experience: Equipped with a book house, Western restaurant, and "Wilderness Bar." Enjoy a drink at sunset on the mountaintop, full of ritual. Guests generally praise the high standard of Western cuisine, comparable to first-tier cities. · Unique arrival experience: To stay on the mountaintop, you need to hike about 15 minutes up stairs. Although a bit tiring, when you arrive out of breath and see the suddenly open view, you’ll feel it’s all worth it. 🗺️ 3 Days 2 Nights Immersive Itinerary · Day 1: Arrival and Slow Mountain Life · Afternoon: Drive about 1.5 hours from Guiyang to arrive. After checking in at the foot of the mountain, first go to "Yunlu Coffee Book House" for a cup of coffee and some reading to slow down. · Evening: Wait for a magnificent sunset at the "Floating Light Cloud Shadow Viewing Platform." After dusk, walk to the "Wilderness Bar" and enjoy a drink accompanied by the mountain breeze. · Night: Watch the star-filled sky from the room terrace or take a bath to relax. · Day 2: Sea of Clouds Sunrise and Natural Healing · Early morning: Be sure to get up early! This is the highlight. Wrapped in a blanket on the terrace, watch the sunrise gradually dye the rolling sea of clouds red. Breakfast here is a set meal delivered to the room at the agreed time, creating a beautiful scene. · Morning: Take a nap or go for a light hike on the mountaintop. There are wind turbines and tea fields nearby, full of lush greenery and abundant negative ions. · Afternoon: Have the homestay host prepare a delicate afternoon tea set to enjoy in the room or on the viewing platform, zoning out while facing the valley. · Day 3: Farewell to the Clouds · Morning: Enjoy the last moments in the mountains and take more photos with your camera as souvenirs. · Noon: Check out and descend the mountain, then head to Kaiyang County town to try authentic sour soup silk dolls or fermented bean curd hotpot—a perfect ending with a delicious meal. 💡 Practical Tips Before You Go · Accommodation options: The homestay has 19 rooms, divided between the foot and the mountaintop. Strongly recommend the "mountaintop rooms" (such as Mizhi, Shanye, Yunqi) for unobstructed views. The foot-of-mountain rooms (like the loft family room) are suitable for families with elderly or children but don’t offer the stunning sunrise view. · Transportation guide: Strongly recommend driving. Navigate directly to "No. 31, Shipaifang Village, Gaozhai Township, Kaiyang County." The mountain road is partly rugged, so be cautious. Free parking is available. · Luggage and physical fitness: Mountaintop rooms require climbing about 15 minutes of stairs, but don’t worry, staff will help carry large luggage, so you only need to travel light. · Dining reservations: The mountaintop Western restaurant is popular and may be fully booked during peak times, so it’s best to reserve in advance. Room rates include breakfast (about 68 RMB/person), and lunch and dinner costs vary by choice. · Best time to visit: Winter and spring after rain have the highest chance of sea of clouds; summer is great for escaping the heat and stargazing. · Notes: The mountain is high and windy with significant temperature differences, so bring enough warm clothing. Also, to ensure the experience, pets are not allowed in the homestay.
