Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Staycation in Huzhou! A Secluded Courtyard Getaway! So Chill!

🌿 Anji | A Hidden Paradise Deep in the Bamboo Forest Anji, this small town awarded the "Best Habitat Award" by the United Nations, has been a retreat for literati since ancient times. Known as the "Bamboo Town" since the Han Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty's "Tiangong Kaiwu" documented the wisdom of Anji people in cultivating bamboo and making paper. Strolling through the 6,000-acre bamboo sea, you can almost hear the rustling sound of Wu Changshuo's brushstrokes under the bamboo shadows. The summer night I spent at Anji Lanshan Villa was unforgettable—floating in the starlit pool gazing at the Milky Way, with the silhouette of rolling bamboo forests in the distance and the joyful laughter of children playing in the stream nearby. Each private villa here is embraced by bamboo groves; opening the floor-to-ceiling windows reveals morning mist swirling among the bamboo tips, resembling an ink painting from the Song Dynasty. 🌟 Must-Experience: 1️⃣ 【Family Stream Trekking】Put on anti-slip shoes and explore natural pools along the stream with your kids, learning about various ferns and mountain spring creatures under the guidance of professional instructors. Don’t forget a waterproof camera—you might capture adorable squirrels drinking water! 2️⃣ 【Bamboo Forest Starlit Pool】Dive into the heated pool at sunset, where the water reflects bamboo shadows and twilight. At night, professional stargazers share constellation stories. Tip: Starry sky movies are screened every Friday and Saturday evening. 3️⃣ 【Wu Changshuo-Themed Afternoon Tea】Enjoy local white tea with bamboo tube pastries in a century-old bamboo forest teahouse, where tea masters share anecdotes about this Anji-born artist who said, "A day without bamboo is vulgar." The most healing moment of that weekend was waking up to birdsong at dawn and finding dewy bamboo leaves on the courtyard steps, like a morning greeting from the mountains. Anji’s magic lies in its ability to help hurried urbanites rediscover life’s subtle joys—the sound of mountain wind through bamboo leaves, the coolness of stream water over your feet.
