Guangzhou·Mingquanju｜A Hidden Retreat at the Foot of Baiyun Mountain, A Picturesque Lingnan

"First step into the mountains, second through the courtyard, third into the hall~" "It feels like arriving in the poetic Lingnan in an instant!" At the end of July, I arrived at this Lingnan-style mansion nestled at the foot of Guangzhou's Baiyun Mountain. Hidden among poetic landscapes, I reconnected with nature once more. My room overlooked a lush green forest, while the warm, refined Chinese-inspired interior brought a sense of tranquility. After settling in, I wandered freely through the hotel, my joy growing with each step. I fell in love with the ancient banyan tree in the courtyard— the dappled light and aged trunk made me pause again and again. The following day was spent sipping tea, reading, touring by car, and enjoying fine food and drinks. After a satisfying meal, I strolled along Jinzhong Lake, through covered bridges and quiet paths, where I unexpectedly encountered a rare pink-purple sunset. It was a delightful moment in this ideal getaway. I fell in love with my 24 hours at Mingquanju. "How I adore these carefree moments away from the city!" "Body, mind, and soul—all content and joyful!" Today was a day captivated by Mingquanju. Join Twenty for a staycation!❗ ©️Zhang Twenty. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
