This time, what caught our attention is a soon-to-open high-end boutique homestay: "Shanchuan Yin · Designer Architectural Retreat" ✔️Location: Nestled against mountains and rivers, it stands by the Fenshui River, a tributary of the Fuchun River, with convenient transportation. ✔️Unique Features: Designed by the renowned architect Shen Mo, its distinctive appearance is unforgettable. ✔️Amenities: It boasts a swimming pool, canopy, soaking tubs, a large lawn, and a media room. With 16 rooms accommodating up to 40 people, it’s perfect for friend gatherings and corporate team-building. ✔️Quality: Everything is crafted to five-star hotel standards. 1️⃣ Three Years of Meticulous Preparation ——A Comfortable and Relaxing Stay Experience The owner of Shanchuan Yin, affectionately called "Ludan" by everyone, has been in the homestay industry for ten years, witnessing its ups and downs. After the pandemic, she and her friends remained true to their passion for homestays, investing heavily to create Shanchuan Yin. We learned that the preparation took nearly three years. For many small business owners, three years might mark a full cycle, but for Ludan and her friends, it was just the beginning. Their determination and dedication are hard to put into words, but their thoughtfulness and attention to detail are evident everywhere at Shanchuan Yin. For example, the four-story building is equipped with a guest elevator, and motion-sensor lights are installed on the stairs, ensuring practicality, aesthetics, and safety. Soundproofing was also a priority. Once the doors and windows are closed, all external noise disappears instantly. Even the subtle needs of female guests are considered, with everything from bath bags, toilet seat covers, and care kits to makeup mirrors, eye masks, and earplugs provided. These thoughtful touches, beyond high-end hardware, create a sense of being well cared for. 2️⃣ A Hub for Tonglu Tourism ——30 Minutes to Major Viral Travel Destinations Tonglu was named one of "The World’s 25 Best Travel Destinations" by National Geographic for good reason. Shanchuan Yin’s prime location plays a big part—situated on the left bank of the Fuchun River, near the Yaolin National Forest Park and by the Fenshui River, with easy access to many popular attractions. It’s just 2 km from OMG Heartbeat Park, making it convenient for families to enjoy the park or take a boat ride through Tongtian River’s karst caves. The classic Yaolin Fairyland and Fenshui Town are just a 10-minute drive away—the former for stunning caves, the latter for the lively charm of a Jiangnan town. A bit further, the She Ethnic Village in Daijiashan is only half an hour away, where shows like "Our Inn" and "Back to Field" were filmed, offering a leisurely stroll through a unique ancient village. Tonglu is fun year-round: 🌟Spring’s lush greenery is perfect for hiking. 🌟Summer offers water activities and thrilling rafting in clear mountain streams. 🌟Autumn is ideal for wandering through golden-hued ancient villages. 🌟Winter brings skiing at Shengxianli Ski Resort. Back at Shanchuan Yin, the Fenshui River’s walking trail is just steps away. A stroll might lead to a friendly stray cat or sightings of waterbirds and drifting boats, with a wide pebble beach nearby. It’s all simple yet charming. For a staycation, sometimes the best plan is no plan—just a day or two of unwinding in nature, escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life.
