Hidden in Lingnan for 400 Years｜Mountain Retreat

I'd return 100 more times for these woodlands My bestie and I chose Jiyunyao to photograph the majestic forest scenery, but we were greeted with torrential rain on the very first day. Our grand woodland photoshoot plans turned into an impromptu Guangzhou staycation amidst the downpour. Fortunately, everything here fulfilled our woodland fantasies. During check-in, the butler handed us steaming cups of ginger tea - the amber liquid rich with spicy warmth that instantly comforted us, while outside the window, terraced fields transformed into misty green satin veiled by rain. At night, we nestled into our private hot spring pool. The steamy warmth fogged the windows, where we drew smiling raindrops with our fingertips on the glass, watching wild ferns glisten with rainwater outside. After soaking, when we casually asked the butler for ice cubes for drinks, the staff delivered them within minutes - such thoughtful service. When the rain cleared next day, the infinity pool brimmed with overnight rainwater, and distant terraces glowed so green they seemed to drip with moisture. Strolling through Jiyunyao, we suddenly realized - the most breathtaking views often hide in unforecasted moments of spontaneity.
