Every beautiful guesthouse scattered in Qiandao Lake can be your home. No matter what style it is in, it can give you a proper sense of belonging. If you are attached to the handsomeness of the mountains, you can choose to retreat to the mountains and valleys and experience the culture of the mountain people for a few days; if you like the gentleness of water, you might as well find a place in the villages around the islands where you can see the mountains and water to rest by the clear blue waves and have a poetic dream; if you are curious about the wonderful feeling of living above the clouds, then go to the top of the mysterious mountains and visit the fairyland-like places for a while.

Soak in a Private Hot Spring in the Private House & Turn the Time in Mountains into Poetry!
At the end of the valley of Xuekengyuan (雪坑源) is Maoshan·Qingtianye (茂山•青田野). After entering from the stone slab bridge, you’ll feel you have traveled from a bustling world to paradise. In the morning, you can drink a cup of soy milk that is ground by yourself, or pick some green grass and go to the sheep pen outside the yard, quietly watching the baaing sheep eat the grass happily. The experience is really soothing. What's more, there is also a private hot spring pool, which is surrounded by bamboo forests. When the evening breeze is gentle, light up the star lights, play music, take a warm bath, and fall asleep in the mountain breeze. This is the little happiness in the depths of the mountains.
