Be a Carefree Wanderer for Two Days at Mount Emei

Embark on a zen-inspired slow-living getaway at Mount Emei! This time, I chose two niche boutique homestays that perfectly blend wilderness with artistic charm—coffee, tea-picking, and relaxation all in one go~ 🌿 【Leling·Nianhua Creek】 Tucked halfway up Mount Emei, this forest-themed aesthetic space features pristine white architecture harmonizing with bamboo groves. The highlight is the teahouse café—sip a cup of Emei Snow Buds tea to the sound of wind chimes for instant serenity. Rooms come with private hot spring pools; soaking under the starry sky at night is pure romance! A 10-minute walk takes you to Baoguo Temple, where morning bell chimes create a magical atmosphere. The owner’s hand-brewed coffee is exceptional, using Yunnan beans with natural fruity notes. 【Zaiyishe·Lakeside Retreat】 This homestay boasts floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of Guanyin Lake, with every room offering ink-painting-like scenery. Must-try: the owner’s private tea collection! The homestay offers pesticide-free tea-picking experiences—follow the host to hand-roast tea leaves right at the doorstep. ✨ Itinerary Tips: Day 1: Arrive at Nianhua Creek → Coffee → Private hot spring soak Day 2: Lakeside afternoon tea at Zaiyishe → Tea-picking & making → Giant Buddha Zen Monastery ⚠️ Practical Notes: • Both homestays require advance booking. • Wear light-colored clothes for tea-picking—it’s more photogenic! • Pack a light jacket for mountain temperature swings. • Homestays offer shuttle service to/from the high-speed rail station (reservation needed). Switch your phone to flight mode and unwind like a carefree ancient wanderer amid Emei’s misty bamboo forests for two days~
