Staying in a villa amidst a sea of pines! This Huzhou trip was incredibly healing

Who would've thought! Spent 3 days at Anadu Baifu Manor·Pine Realm and almost didn't want to return to the city—

Open the door to endless pine forests, with private courtyards carpeted in soft pine needles. Mornings bring the symphony of birdsong and rustling winds🎶 Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mountain views and drifting clouds like living paintings. Sunny days filter golden light through pine branches, while rainy days cloak the eaves in mist—every moment looks like a movie still!

We chose a villa with a private hot spring. Soaking in the outdoor pool at dusk with bayberry wine from the butler, watching the sunset paint the pines warm orange—pure relaxation seeps into every pore🛁 The room's heated floors and smart lighting are winter-perfect (already planning our next cold-weather visit!). Even our corgi joined the fun, chasing butterflies in the courtyard all afternoon.

No chance for boredom! Days begin with guided hikes to collect pinecones for crafts, afternoons in the wine cellar or olive estate (just 600m away) feasting on local bamboo shoot pork so fresh it tastes farm-to-table🥢 Evenings bring warm bedtime cookies from the butler—stargazing from the terrace with pine-scented air completes the magic.

Nearby attractions include the Ten-Mile Ginkgo Corridor (10min drive, golden autumn vistas await!) and Yangzi Crocodile Park (20min, great for kids/friends).

This place truly understands escapism—no forced Instagram aesthetics, just genuine tranquility. Already planning to bring my parents next time✨
