Xi'an Surroundings | Stay in a Glass Box to Watch the Sunrise at Mount Li with Photo Guide

| Stay in a Glass Box to Watch the Sunrise at Mount Li with Photo Guide. Girls! I've discovered an absolutely amazing homestay!!! 😭😭😭 Last week my bestie recommended this Lintong Wangchen Luxury Tea & Coffee Homestay, and I thought it would be just another Instagram hotspot, but!!! The real place is ten times more beautiful than the photos!!! 📍 Located at the foot of Mount Li, it's a 50-minute drive from the city center. You'll pass through vast fields of rapeseed flowers on the way, which makes it feel like stepping into a painting in spring! The homestay is a completely transparent glass box that sparkles in the sunlight, like a crystal palace from a fairy tale 🔮! 🌟 Must-try experiences: ✅ Tea around the stove: Set up charcoal fires on the rooftop terrace, roast oranges, sweet potatoes, and marshmallows, paired with the owner's homemade osmanthus tea, watch the clouds drift by - the vibes are absolutely perfect! ✅ BBQ party: Grill meat in the courtyard during the evening, the owner will help prepare ingredients, the pork belly sizzles with oil, chat with friends while eating, and enjoy the overlooking view of Xi'an's night scenery 🌃 ✅ Sunrise and sunset: The room has huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Mount Li, wake up to sunshine in the morning, watch the sunset turn the entire mountain red in the evening - no filters needed for your phone photos! 📸 Photo tips: 1️⃣ The white spiral staircase outside the glass house creates a "sky mirror" effect when shot from above 2️⃣ During the blue hour (15 minutes after sunset), take silhouette photos on the terrace for a cinematic feel 3️⃣ The bathtub has gauze curtains nearby - take photos of the mountain view while bathing to instantly become an Instagram influencer 💰 Average cost: Afternoon tea set 88 yuan/person (including snacks), BBQ package 100+ yuan per person, room prices 600-1200 yuan/night (recommend booking 1 month ahead during peak season!) 🚗 Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving!!! Free parking lot at the entrance. If taking the subway, you'll need to transfer 3 times + walk for 2 hours, which would be exhausting 😅 ⚠️ Notes: 1️⃣ Temperature varies greatly in the mountains, remember to bring a jacket 2️⃣ Lots of insects, mosquito repellent is essential 3️⃣ The homestay only has 4 rooms, definitely contact the owner in advance to confirm availability!
