Yuan Su Homestay, nestled among the bamboo forests and mountains of Anji, is a hidden gem for getaways around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Perched on a hillside, the homestay blends rammed earth walls with raw wood to create a simple and unsophisticated texture. A gurgling stream flows by the gate, and a lush green view greets you as you open the window. Wake up to the chirping of birds in the morning and gaze at the starry sky at night, embracing the pure joy of the mountains and wilderness to the fullest.
Each guest room boasts its own unique features: themed rooms come with high-definition projectors, while 360° mountain-view rooms offer the luxury of soaking in a bath with mountain vistas in sight. The whole house is equipped with an intelligent system and floor heating, striking a perfect balance between comfort and elegance. In the courtyard, a swimming pool complements a cozy pavilion for relaxation, and facilities such as a chess and card room are fully available. Families with kids can enjoy the sand trampoline, and friends gathering here can sit around a fire to brew tea and roast sweet potatoes.
All three meals here are prepared with local organic ingredients, and the hosts are warm and attentive. It’s a 10-minute walk to Zimugang Ticket Station and only a 20-minute drive from scenic spots like Zhongnan Baicaoyuan, making it an ideal choice for summer retreats, team building activities and family trips. Stay at Yuan Su, and let the mountain scenery and warm human touch become the everyday delight of your journey.
"Bringing parents to go out, the boss specially arranged a room type with a small courtyard. The yard was paved with bluestones and planted with a few clusters of spring orchids and newly planted wisteria. During the day, I accompanied my parents to the stream and followed the boss to the tea garden to experience tea picking. The elders held the tender tea buds and laughed very happily. The boss handed over the bamboo basket: ”There are wild strawberries over there, ripe and red!” Going back to the room at night, the humidifier was on, the sheets were dried with sunlight, grass and light tea. Before leaving, the boss stuffed a pack of spring dried bamboo shoots + a can of new tea and said: ”Go back to the soup and make tea, the taste of spring, don't lose it on the road."
