Hidden Gem in Zhuji | A Zen Retreat Where Soul Meets Nature

| A Zen Retreat Where Soul Meets Nature. When life becomes overwhelming, the desire to escape to the mountains and live freely for a few days becomes irresistible. I stumbled upon this hidden gem - Yaojia Zen Joy Homestay - nestled in the Wuxie Scenic Area, truly embodying the essence of "living among people yet away from the hustle and bustle." 📍 Location: Located in Wuxie Scenic Area, Zhuji, Shaoxing, just steps away from the thousand-year-old Wuxie Zen Temple. From Zhuji Station, it's only a 30-minute drive to reach this secluded paradise. Take a boat across Wuxie Lake, surrounded by mountains and waters, where the sparkling lake seems to wash away all your fatigue. 🏠 Rooms: The homestay features only 20 rooms, each uniquely designed with Zen-inspired names starting with "Wu" (meaning "none"). The rooms showcase a minimalist natural wood design, with yellow and white wood tones complemented by wooden furniture, tea sets, and green plants, creating a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. Some room types include private courtyards and hot spring pools. Soaking in the warm pool at night under a starlit sky - a moment you wish could last forever! 🍱 Dining: The restaurant specializes in local Jiangzhe home-style cuisine, using fresh ingredients from nearby farmers. Every bite brings back memories of grandmother's cooking - so comforting! After meals, you can visit the cafe for a Zen-inspired coffee, sit on the wooden corridor, feel the mountain breeze, and enjoy moments of tranquility. 🎈 Nearby Attractions: - Wuxie Zen Temple: Across the stream from the homestay, this thousand-year-old temple built during the Sui-Tang period still maintains its rich historical charm. Walking through the ancient temple while listening to the melodious bell sounds feels like touching the traces of time. - Wuxie Waterfall: The name "Wuxie" comes from this five-tiered waterfall. Climb up the mountain path to admire the magnificent waterfall and nature's incredible craftsmanship. During summer's rainy season, the waterfall becomes particularly spectacular with its powerful flow. This is truly a treasure of a homestay where you can forget your worries and immerse yourself in life - recommended for everyone looking to escape the urban chaos!
