Laolaojia Homestay



Hidden away in a sea of green hills and a thousand acres of red leaves, the courtyard of Laolaojia Homestay originated from the late Qing Dynasty tucked away in a valley. The old streets and lanes bend this place into the most tranquil corner under the Pofeng Ridge, where the varying shades of yellow and red foliage decorate the surroundings into a picturesque world.
In the large courtyard, you can also lean on the rocking chairs, drink tea, and read a book, while the children can swing or draw on the small blackboard.

Ranshe Homestay



If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the secluded Zhongshan Village is a good choice, which integrates smoothly into nature.
In late autumn, Zhongshan Village sees the most striking red leaves and becomes a “palette of nature”, where you can appreciate the colorful forest.
At night, it is one of the best places for stargazing, where the starry sky is so bright that it seems like the Milky Way is right in front of you.
