Lushan Fir & Mountain Green Homestay | A Forest-Themed Paradise Nestled in the Clouds

Lushan Fir & Mountain Green Homestay | A Forest-Themed Paradise Nestled in the Clouds 🌲 Who would have thought that next to the upper cable car station in Guling Town, Mount Lu, there's such a divine homestay that truly embodies the green mountains and sea of clouds! Lushan Fir & Mountain Green Homestay (Guling Town Cable Car Upper Station Branch) has truly redefined my expectations for mountain accommodation. It's just a 6-minute walk from the cable car exit, and the fatigue of dragging a suitcase uphill is instantly swept away by the refreshing breeze from the fir forest 🍃. This location is simply a blessing for lazy travelers visiting Mount Lu! As soon as I stepped into the homestay's courtyard, I was healed by the lush greenery. Tall fir trees provided ample shade, wild chrysanthemums and hydrangeas bloomed along the flagstone path 🌼, and string lights hung on the wooden fence, swaying gently with the wind, like stepping into a fairy tale forest cabin. The lobby features a warm, natural wood style, with rattan sofas and cotton linen cushions by the fireplace, and Lushan's specialty Yunwu tea and snacks on the table 🍪. The owner will greet you with a smile, chat, and even proactively offer a hand-drawn map of Mount Lu, clearly explaining niche attractions and tips to avoid pitfalls. The friendliness level is off the charts! The panoramic sea-of-clouds room I booked was so stunning it left me speechless ✨! The oversized floor-to-ceiling window directly faces the continuous peaks of Mount Lu. In the morning, drawing back the curtains reveals clouds swirling through the valleys, with green mountains appearing and disappearing, like a flowing ink wash painting 🎨. The room's soft furnishings are incredibly thoughtful; the latex mattress is so soft you won't want to get up once you lie down, the cotton linen bedding carries a faint scent of fir wood, the bathroom area is designed with wet and dry separation, and it's equipped with high-end toiletries and a Dyson hairdryer 🧴. Even the mouthwash cups are hand-painted with Lushan scenery – detail-oriented people will truly love it! The balcony has rattan chairs and a small tea table. In the afternoon, brewing a pot of Yunwu tea, listening to the birdsong in the forest, and watching the sea of clouds slowly dissipate, this slow-paced time can truly cure all anxieties. The homestay's meals were also full of surprises 🍽️. Breakfast features authentic Lushan flavors, with freshly cooked glutinous rice wrapped fritters that are crispy outside and soft inside, paired with freshly ground soy milk, local eggs, and homemade pickled radishes – simple yet warming. For dinner, the homestay can help prepare farmhouse dishes like Lushan Stone Frog, braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, and wild vegetable tofu soup 🥢. All are fresh mountain ingredients, delicious and not greasy. After eating, sitting on the swing in the courtyard, you can look up at the starry sky ✨, and occasionally fireflies fly by – romantic to the core. The owner's service is beyond words. Knowing I wanted to see the sunrise at Hanpo Pass, they specially set an alarm to wake me up and prepared warm ginger tea and a portable breakfast 🥪. When I returned from hiking, too tired to move, the homestay auntie brought me iced mung bean soup. They even prepared props like a straw hat and scarf for photos 📸, helped me find the best angles, and the photos I posted on social media were flooded with requests for links! Exploring the surroundings is also super convenient. It's a 10-minute walk to Guling Street, where you can shop for Lushan specialties and snacks 🍢. It's only a ten-minute drive to Flower Path and Ruqin Lake. If you want to hike, there's a small path right outside the homestay leading to Brocade Valley, with waterfalls and unique rock formations along the way that are too beautiful to look away from 🌿. If you come to Mount Lu, you must stay at Fir & Mountain Green Homestay. It's not just a place to stay, but a gentle haven that allows you to truly embrace the beauty of Mount Lu. Once you're here, you'll just want to linger in these green mountains and sea of clouds and never leave~
