| Dali Guiyuan. "A nap in the spring grass, a dream of falling flowers, a gentle breeze, and the aroma of tea" 🍵 The elegant courtyards described by literati are always so appealing. Perhaps every Chinese person dreams of living in a courtyard. 🍭 All the luxuries in the world cannot compare to a courtyard. — Ancient literati loved a quiet life. They brewed tea in their courtyards and watched the days go by. ⭐ They chatted and talked, enjoying the peace and quiet of their courtyards, surrounded by flowers and trees. 🎍 The sound of flowing water calmed their minds. — In the Guiyuan Courtyard, life is lived among the plants, and stored in the courtyard. You can smell the flowers and see the seasons change. 🌺 Living here, you can live the life you dream of. This is another kind of fulfillment. ❤

Once upon a time, when our steps were hurried and time marched to its own beat, singing loudly in our ears 🎷, ticking away incessantly, trying to tighten the spring of life, making us rush and hustle. — After spending a long time in the small courtyard of Returning to the Source 🏫, I gradually began to understand that time was never really between our fingers, but hidden in the eyes of the wise, in the weathered stone benches, seeping through the cracks 🌈. The flowers on the table start to spread from the vase, the uneven stone path filled with soil, long-unused objects covered in a layer of fine dust ⚱️. — Another masterpiece of time is endowing us with the 'power of insensitivity', learning to be calm and leisurely as time passes. 'Leisure' is not an escape, but a kind of wisdom. 'Sitting idly by the window, often the day slips away', spending a sunset with a cup of tea 🍵, feeling compassion for a supporting character in a book. The days are plain and simple, yet calm and serene ❤.

Reserved, is the first impression Guiyuan gives Hidden in an unremarkable alley in the ancient city Where the smoke and fire are clear , the bright red couplets bring good luck🧧 White walls enclose, dead wood as doors🚪 A secluded "wild shop" feeling — Step inside, "quiet" and "environment" blend The so-called "heart of mountains and seas, quiet and uncompetitive" Born passionate, hidden and common🍭 No bustling lights Away from the hustle and bustle of traffic — Through the stone-paved path Look around the growing plants in the courtyard🎋 Light steps, with a breeze hidden in the sleeves of plants, stubborn stones, and stylish objects🌿 Create a strong sense of Chinese Zen beauty lazy, quiet, take root and sprout here, blooming undefeated flowers in the complicated years🌼

🏡 Contentment Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, every second here feels especially precious. 🧘‍♀️ The sound of the breeze rustling through the leaves, the faint scent of tea and flowers at the tip of your nose, instantly relaxes and nourishes the heart. This courtyard on the edge of Dali Ancient City, is inherently secluded and independent. It's like a world in a poem, 🌳 with towering ancient pines and cypresses, meticulously arranged bonsai and rocks, homemade afternoon tea treats, every detail reveals the owner's care. ☕️ In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the leaves, illuminating the exquisite afternoon tea table. 🍰 A cup of tea with a faint fragrance, a few delicate pastries, one person in this tranquility, enjoying the leisurely afternoon time. 🏞️ In Guiyuan, hear the breath of time.

Having seen the stars and the sea, And witnessed the myriad facets of life, One seeks a place of peace, Hidden in the depths. - Returning to Yuanyuan is located in the ancient city of Dali, In a deep alleyway, With stacked stones and cascading waterfalls, A pond in front resembling an inkstone pool, Lush vegetation, Like a tranquil little world, Entering the courtyard, All worries and troubles Are locked outside the door. Increasingly, I feel that travel should be a time to empty oneself, to give both body and mind a break, to find a place to recharge...

The courtyard has been around for quite some time now, and the days have quietly slipped away, leaving many marks 🐾. Sitting in the courtyard when I have some free time, I carefully observe a few unknown vines 🌱 pushing through the cracks in the rocks, leaving ink-like marks on the gray-white walls washed by the rain. Even the store pet, Lucky Star 🐱, has visibly gained some weight. Time is the most precious gift for Guiyuan, endowing the courtyard 🏘 with a unique charm and flavor. Fortunately, this sense of antiquity has taught me a lot. It feels like a silent friend who has been with me for a long time 🌼, or a patient teacher who gently guides me. It urges me to overcome laziness, to diligently care for the courtyard, to adapt to local conditions 🍀, and to carefully nurture the life within it. Only then can it endure the changing seasons and record the stories of every traveler who stops by 🕊.
