Just 1.5h from Xi'an! Stay in a rammed earth courtyard deep in the Qinling Mountains

The rain quietly left last night.
Opening the glass window, a fresh air mixed with the scent of earth and grass rushes in, like a natural morning fragrance gifted by nature. In the distance, the outline of Huazhu Niubeiliang Resort emerges faintly through the mist, the mountain scenery hazy, like a freshly completed ink painting.
What moves the heart most is the 30,000-square-meter lawn stretching between heaven and earth.
After the rain’s cleansing, every blade of grass is full of green vitality, unfolding in the morning light. The sunlight falls just right, instantly turning the entire lawn into a shimmering green ocean. Dewdrops linger on the grass tips, refracting scattered light like diamonds scattered on the ground. Walking through it, the grass gently brushes against the ankles, bringing a cool sensation. Raising the camera casually, no deliberate framing is needed—framed by verdant mountains and seated on boundless green grass, every angle is a painting. The sunlight here is especially gentle; with the interplay of light and shadow, every shot is stunning.
At the end of the lawn, several white villas stand quietly.
They are authentic Italian Tuscan-style buildings, with off-white walls shining pure and bright under the post-rain sunlight. The rough texture exudes rustic warmth, and the red sloped roofs complement the exquisite arched doors. These buildings seem not built here but drifting from the Tuscan sunshine, resting by chance among these mountains and waters.
At this moment, the sky is a blue that intoxicates the heart.
It is a blue thoroughly purified by rain, clear and deep, like an inverted lake. A few wisps of thin clouds drift leisurely, adding a poetic touch. The blue sky, as a perfect backdrop, harmoniously blends the white buildings and lush lawn into a moving picture.
Standing in the center of the lawn, feeling the breeze on the face and listening to distant birdsong, time seems to slow down at this moment. This place is far from the hustle and bustle, close to the soul. Every breath carries sweetness, every moment worth cherishing.
At sunset, the clouds on the horizon are dyed golden red, bathing the entire lawn in a warm glow. The white buildings appear even softer in the twilight, as if telling a story about a distant place.
This day at Huazhu Niubeiliang Resort, this glimpse of Tuscan charm, is destined to linger in memory for a long, long time. Tonight, the dream will surely be green, carrying the fragrance of grass, drifting toward that deep blue sky.
