Lost in the Jiangnan Ink Painting of Chibi - Breathtaking Beauty

After being immersed in the hustle and bustle of the city for too long, I found myself yearning for an escape to the mountains. This time, I arrived at [Yingtu Mountain Retreat] in Chibi and was instantly transported into a poetic world reminiscent of a Jiangnan ink painting.

📍Address: Next to Jigongshan Village Committee, Chebu Town, Chibi City (near Chibi Scenic Area). Super convenient for self-driving, with stunning scenery along the way.

🏠Architecture & Environment
The retreat features Jiangnan-style garden architecture, with white walls and black tiles set against lush green mountains and bamboo forests, exuding an ancient charm and tranquility. The babbling streams and fresh botanical scents in the air make every photo look like a masterpiece—no filter needed.

🛏️Room Experience
Rooms are spread across independent courtyards, offering garden-view rooms, bamboo loft suites, and family-friendly loft options. I stayed in a garden-view suite with mountain vistas right outside the window. The room was adorned with a scholar's tea set and handmade pottery, radiating Zen vibes. Premium touches like Dyson hairdryers and Le Labo toiletries elevated the experience.

🍱Culinary Delights
Ingredients are sourced fresh from the retreat's own vegetable garden and fish pond! Breakfast features local favorites like hot dry noodles and wontons to kickstart your day. Dinner highlights regional specialties, each bite bursting with flavor. End the night with a warm, sweet soup that comforts the soul.

🎡Activities
For those seeking peace, enjoy tea ceremonies, scripture copying, or singing bowl meditation in the tea house. For more excitement, head to the camping BBQ area, game room, or KTV. A kids' playground ensures little ones stay entertained too.

💁‍♀️Service
The staff here are incredibly warm and attentive, fulfilling every request promptly. A thoughtful welcome gift made the stay even more special.

Nearby attractions include the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms in Chibi and Yangloudong Ancient Street, perfect for soaking in history. My trip to Chibi was full of surprises, thanks to [Yingtu Mountain Retreat]. If you're looking for a place to unwind and embrace slow living, this is the ultimate choice!
