A light luxury homestay in the tea mountain mist, every casual shot looks like a forest-themed masterpiece

Looking for a place to unwind on the weekend in Hefei, I accidentally stumbled upon this homestay hidden deep in the tea mountains. After staying for two days, my phone’s photo album was full, and even my friends kept asking for the address on social media! The homestay is located in the Tea Mountain community of Changlinhe Town, Feidong, about an hour’s drive from the city center. As soon as I turned onto the tea mountain path, the lush greenery immediately caught my eye, with mist occasionally drifting over the peaks, as if stepping into a traditional ink painting. The small courtyard at the entrance is planted with greenery, and the wooden signboard with the four characters “Chayu Lanting” exudes elegance. I couldn’t help but take several photos before even entering. The rooms are in my favorite light luxury natural style! The window frames the tea mountain scenery as a natural backdrop. In the morning, when you open the curtains, sunlight pours over the wooden furniture, paired with light-colored bedding, creating a gentle atmosphere that makes you want to stay in bed. The cleanliness is impeccable, even the corners are spotless. The free WiFi is very smooth, perfect for streaming shows or video chatting with friends to share the view without any lag. Sitting by the window with a cup of tea, smelling the tea fragrance and watching the mountain scenery, the healing feeling is instantly full. During the day, following the custom routes arranged by the homestay is super worry-free! A 20-minute walk takes you to the Sitingshan National Forest Park. The hike is not difficult, and along the way, there are tea trees and wildflowers, making every casual shot a forest-themed masterpiece. In the afternoon, visit the Liujiafan Ancient Residential Cluster, where the old houses with blue bricks and black tiles are very photogenic. Wearing simple-colored clothes, you can perfectly capture the ancient style atmosphere. At dusk, go to Hongshizui Park to watch the sunset. The Chaohu sunset dyes the water golden, and every photo looks like a movie screenshot. No worries about meals either. The homestay restaurant serves authentic farmhouse dishes, including porridge, side dishes, and main courses. Nearby, the Sitingshan Farmhouse Cuisine Restaurant is not far away, and their signature native chicken soup is incredibly fresh, paired with local vegetables, making for a very satisfying meal. Friends with pets can also come with peace of mind, as the homestay allows cats and dogs for free. My dog had a blast running around in the courtyard, even happier than me. If you want to take beautiful photos, this place is really perfect. Every corner of the tea mountain, mist, courtyard, and rooms is photogenic. I can’t even cover all its goodness in 600 words. Next time, I definitely want to bring my family here again!
