There's a big-eyed young man who works in the restaurant. His eyes are huge and he's incredibly handsome.
My trip to Huangshan was absolutely worth it. I came alone and initially thought I'd feel lonely, but with the companionship of all the butlers, I felt life slow down, very relaxed and at ease. I've climbed mountains many times, but staying at Yunji felt like they were an extension of my own arms and legs – so natural, anticipating my needs in advance, and always willing to help with any requests I had.
Additionally, I visited in December, and they had Jigongjian persimmons at the store. I ate 7 persimmons and asked for two more dried persimmons; they were better than any persimmon I'd ever tasted.
I stayed at Songji. After watching the sunrise, I dozed off for a bit. When I woke up and opened the window, the sunlight poured in, and I suddenly had a moment of profound clarity, feeling as if time itself had become still.
I also saw the Geminid meteor shower on December 14th. I saw Huangshan's first snow, and witnessed both sunrise and sunset. This trip was truly worthwhile.
Yunji is expensive for a reason. I initially thought it was just about a better environment and nicer rooms, but the quality of service and attentiveness provides a peaceful kind of care.
My soul felt healed.
Here are my subjective feelings:
During my recent stay at Yunji, I saw the big-eyed young man in the restaurant. His eyes were as clean as rime on distant mountains, yet held a subtle hint of alarm and sadness. They are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, uniquely pure, yet not cold. They are like a musician's notes, a painter's pigments, a writer's words – a flash of inspiration for a master, a moment of profound insight, a gathering of souls aided by heaven and earth, interpreting the natural beauty of Huangshan and the cultural charm of Qingliang Villa. I saw the Milky Way from the terrace; the light from those stars traveled countless years, and in that moment, I saw them. This young man's eyes struck me like a multitude of stars, and I was unexpectedly moved, thinking, ”All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning, they should be regarded as such.” Huangshan is like these eyes, piercing through my tranquility, like brewing wine with pine flowers and steeping tea with spring water. I try my best to record such beauty, to grasp the bright spots in life.
I didn't take a photo of this young man, because when taking pictures, the gaze is focused on the screen, not reality. I took many photos because I was worried I'd forget the unique scenery of Huangshan. But these eyes, I think, will be hard to forget. The impact they had on me was the finishing touch to my Huangshan trip.
