A Tranquil Pilgrimage to Jiuhua Mountain, Finding a Peaceful Haven for the Soul.
🏞 As the end of 2024 approaches, we took a brief respite from the bustling city of Hangzhou. With a single step on the gas pedal, my best friend and I embarked on a spontaneous road trip to Jiuhua Mountain for a serene pilgrimage!
🏮 After extensive online research, we finally chose this hidden gem nestled in the mountains - [Huazhu Lotus Pure Inn (Jiuhuashan Branch)], a newly opened guesthouse this year, perfect for worship and blessings! The moment we stepped in, we knew this trip was a success, and our happiness soared! 🎉🎉🎉

🍽 Authentic and Delicious Dining:
The breakfast is very rich, with a bowl of hot egg noodles that tastes like mom's cooking. We also pre-ordered dinner here, which was fresh, home-style, and very tasty. Loved it! We even had afternoon tea with the hostess, and they thoughtfully delivered fruit to our room after check-in.

💖 Here, time seems to slow down, and the soul truly rests. It's very quiet, parking is convenient, and there's a small courtyard downstairs where you can have tea. The transportation to the mountain is also very convenient. We will definitely choose to stay here again next time 👻
