Hidden Paradise! Chongqing Chunxiao Nanzhu Mountain Lodge｜A Stay with Two Meals to Wash Away the Hustle and Bustle

The winding bluestone path leads into the mountains, shrouded in mist, where Chunxiao Nanzhu Mountain Lodge emerges like a gentle breeze, sweeping away the worries of urban life. Wooden pavilions are scattered among the verdant bamboo, and opening the window reveals a sea of clouds rolling by. At night, when all is quiet, you can even hear the soft rustling of bamboo leaves. In the morning, the lodge offers a special bamboo tube rice porridge paired with small plates of wild vegetables, all sourced from the lodge's own backyard. Simple yet deeply flavorful. In the afternoon, you can stroll barefoot along the bamboo forest trail or lean against the railing with a pot of aged Pu'er tea, watching sunlight filter through the bamboo shadows onto the tea table. The most enchanting moment comes at dusk, when the lodge lights up with warm yellow lamps, echoing the glow of fireflies in the distant village, as if stepping into a landscape painting. Here, there are no noisy tour groups, only the flowers and plants lovingly cultivated by the lodge's owner and their patient storytelling of local legends. Upon departure, your suitcase is quietly filled with dried hawthorn and handcrafted bamboo lanterns prepared by the host—this journey, it turns out, has been gently packed into every inch of memory.
