[2025 Anji Hotels] Travel Guide for Xinhe · Stream Hiking · Starry Sky Swimming Pool Vacation Stay (Updated Jun)

🍳 **Morning Mountain Flavors: A Breakfast Infused with Anji’s Spirit** Open the window, and the morning mist over bamboo forests carries the aroma of breakfast into your room—this is the signature overture of Xinke’s morning feast. Start with a bowl of soft, sticky rice porridge, accompanied by thoughtfully prepared sides: freshly made handmade pork buns, crispy fried dough sticks, local highland corn, boiled eggs, and sweet potatoes, paired with homemade pickled radish and stir-fried bamboo shoots with preserved vegetables—a tangy, refreshing wake-up call. 🍽 **The Art of Dining: A Rustic Poem by the Hearth** Xinke’s restaurant doesn’t rely on elaborate techniques but wins hearts with "seasonal" and "authentic" flavors. ▪ **Bamboo Forest Free-Range Chicken Soup**: Slow-simmered to an amber broth, sprinkled with wild goji berries—so delicious you’ll crave three bowls in a row. ▪ **Reservoir Fish Head with Tofu**: Fish head stewed in milky tofu broth, while the body is pan-fried and drizzled with perilla sauce—tender and free of any earthy taste. ▪ **Explore Wild Bamboo Shoots in Different Ways**: Braised with salted pork, stir-fried with preserved vegetables (perfect with rice), or oil-braised—the restaurant’s shoots are incredibly tender, earning rave reviews from guests. ▫ **Long Table Banquet Under the Stars**: On summer nights, dine by the pool under candlelight, with the Milky Way pouring into your glass. ▫ **Mountain Coziness by the Fireplace**: In winter, roast tangerines and rice cakes by the fireplace, sip Anji white tea, and listen to the crackling fire—the warmth of mountain living right in your hands. 🌿 **Wild Food Adventures: A Flavorful Surprise on Hiking Trails** Xinke’s "delicious radius" extends from the restaurant to hidden mountain gems— - **Butler’s Secret Routes**: Forage for wild fruits and visit local farms. ✅ **Deep Stream Valley Wild Strawberry Grove**: In June, follow the butler upstream, picking lantern fruit and raspberries along the way—rinse and eat, their sweetness like dew from the forest. ✅ **Gaojiatang Village Tofu Workshop**: A 10-minute walk to watch masters craft tofu with stone grinders. Try a warm block dipped in soy sauce—the rich bean aroma is unforgettable. ✅ **Majianong Baked Sesame Cake Stand**: Crispy, crumbly dried vegetable and pork cakes baked in a wood-fired barrel, best paired with chilled herbal jelly to beat the heat. 🚶 **Food Finds Along the Trail** For those craving more culinary adventures, Xinke is the perfect starting point— **Recommended stop: "Jiajia Shop" for baked sesame cakes—a local favorite, also serving marinated tofu. **Grape Picking: Just a 5-minute drive from the homestay, a vineyard offers delicious grapes and a farmhouse restaurant nearby. **Newly opened "Linjian Yayuan" in Zhangcun Town: A century-old courtyard restored into a restaurant, where the ambiance and dishes are equally remarkable. >**Xinke’s Food Notes** >The essence of mountain living lies in the crisp sound of spring bamboo shoots breaking soil, the silver flash of stream fish leaping, and the warmth of waiting by a wood-fired stove. >Let your taste buds wander between bamboo forests and starry skies. **One meal reveals the seasons; one flavor captures the landscape.** At Xinke, food is never just sustenance—it’s the tea steam in morning mist, the wine songs during night swims, and the healing love letter the wild writes to city dwellers. ✨

Summer is here, how can we miss out on a cool adventure with our dogs? Last week, I took my furry friend to Anji for an exciting and fun rafting experience at Longwang Mountain. 🐶💦 💧The water of Longwang Mountain is crystal clear, and the rafting river is winding and full of surprises. I sat in a kayak with my dog, speeding down the river with the current, splashing water everywhere, thrilling and fun. The dog was also excitedly wagging its tail, as if to say: 'This is so cool!' 🏘After the rafting, we arrived at Anji Xinhe Homestay, feeling cool and laughing. This homestay is so unique! It's a transformed old house, every corner revealing the traces of time and a unique tone. Stepping into the homestay is like entering a secluded little world, instantly making one forget the hustle and bustle of the city🍃. 🐕What's more surprising is that there is a super cute Alaskan dog named Youga in the homestay! It's very enthusiastic, not only likes to interact with guests but also sings along! Both my dog and I were amused and laughed heartily. 🛌It's worth mentioning that this homestay is incredibly photogenic! Beautiful views are everywhere🎇. 🌌At night, we sat on the terrace of the homestay, enjoying the breeze and the stars💫, listening to the distant sounds of insects and running water, feeling particularly relaxed. Such a night⭐ is just perfect for daydreaming.🌙✨ 🌱This trip to Anji not only gave my dog and me a delightful summer day but also let me experience the charm of nature and the warmth of the homestay. If you also want to spend an unforgettable holiday with your furry friend, why not try Anji!🎉
