In Jinlangli, Lie into the Slow Time of Mountains and Waters

Chaohu, Anhui, this tranquil place amidst the lake and mountain scenery, always brings peace to the heart. This time, I chose a Jinlangli guesthouse hidden in the fishing village on Laoshan Island to experience a slow life in close contact with nature. 🌅🍃

🏡 A Cozy Cottage Among Mountains and Waters 🏡
The moment I opened the door, it felt as if the whole world quieted down. The guesthouse has only four large-bed rooms, each radiating the warmth of home. My favorite spot is the small balcony in the room, where I can sit, savor my hand-brewed coffee ☕️, and enjoy the lake view outside the window—truly the most comfortable feeling.

🏞️ The Quiet Moment of Lakeside Dawn 🏞️
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the lake, everything becomes gentle. I usually wake up early to take a walk along the lakeside, listening to the gentle waves lapping the shore, occasionally spotting fishermen heading out to sea. Such mornings make me feel incredibly relaxed and peaceful, as if time slows down at this moment.

🛁 Thoughtful Service and Facilities 🛁
Although Jinlangli guesthouse is small, every detail reveals the owner's care. The room is equipped with basic amenities like toothbrushes, shampoo, and conditioner, and the private bathroom is clean and tidy, making the stay comfortable. Especially the cozy bed, which gave me a good night's sleep and left me refreshed upon waking.

🍽️ A Double Enjoyment of Food and Scenery 🍽️
Besides the beautiful scenery, the food here is also a highlight. The breakfast provided by the guesthouse is simple yet delicious, especially with fresh ingredients that leave a lasting impression. For dinner, you can try local specialties, such as fresh lake fish, whose delicious taste I still can't forget.

This experience at Jinlangli guesthouse not only let me feel the charm of nature but also helped me find a long-lost tranquility and peace. If you are tired of the city's hustle and bustle, why not come here and enjoy a slow time that belongs to you!
