Sleep in the sea of clouds, breathe deeply in the mountains

In winter, the leaves in the city have long fallen off, and the leaves are bare and have no vitality. But in Tonglu, it seems that a warm wind is blowing. The mountains and clear waters here are green even in winter.

Hidden under the mountains are a magical B & Bs, magical bookstores, and magical works of art.

This is Qinglongwu in Tonglu. The century-old house in the countryside has been transformed into a B & B with a strong sense of design.

It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Hangzhou to reach this magical place.

Hidden among the mountains and rivers, the yellow walls and black tiles are quite neat and mottled, giving the impression of the overlap of the old wall and the new wall.

History has not faded, and the designer has given him new life. The breath of time makes people feel a little trance.

The air here is exceptionally fresh. Sleeping in the sea of clouds, every bite is the taste of nature.

In Liuyun Rural Villa, there is a four-story Yanjiyou Bookstore with a total of 500 square meters. The happiness of being surrounded by tens of thousands of books catches people off guard.

The entire glass wall on one side and the entire bookstore are very transparent. Standing in the hall, the house is full of books and sets off the intoxicating mountain scenery. I was already drunk before I checked in.

Under the clouds and mist, the bookstore has a more fairy aura. The capsule bookstore also has secret levels. The bookstore also has two built-in buildings inside."Youth" and "Flower" correspond to the boys 'building and the girls' building respectively. There are 20 standard capsule accommodation spaces and public bathrooms surrounded by bookshelves.

Yan Jiyou, a very imaginative and creative lifestyle bookstore, didn't expect to be found in a village in Tonglu.

The century-old house has been renovated by the designer to retain its original appearance and rejuvenate.
The elevated floor is all public activity spaces, which are transparent and smooth.

Sleeping in the fragrance of books is also a completely different experience. The 25000 books are a sea of knowledge. You can empty everything here and stay for a long time.

The most beautiful scenery in the books is not only the breeze with slender fingers wandering among the rows of bookshelves, but also the smiles of friends in the aroma of coffee and tea. When the light shines on you, the light and shadow lead your eyes to the green mountains and fields outside the window, grass and trees, all quiet and beautiful scenes are just right.

The story of Flowing Cloud begins with Sosuke Fujimoto, the most famous architect of Japan's younger generation who came to this secluded valley by the Fuchun River on a rainy day.

Ancient bridge trees and ancient rammed earth villages that have experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain grow scattered on terraces. Streams flow in front of the village, and clouds and mist float above the house. The scene here gave Fujimoto a deep impression. He inspired the design here.

Later, more designers joined in and built this unique B & B.

After that, there was a performance space, a one-person art gallery, a cloud stage in the terraces, a flowing cloud corridor, a theme B & B, a Yanjiyou Bookstore, a restaurant, a pavilion, a Yuanyuan Hall, and a watchtower.

Everything is what the designer wants to tell you, the lines or different colors.

It took three years for more than a dozen Chinese and foreign design companies to jointly build this mountainous complex. Different designers created different works. Living here feels like going to a designer party.

There are countless brands of architecture, installations, artists 'works, and original furniture. If you are a young literary and artistic youth and a design art fan, you will definitely hate meeting each other too late.

When I came here, my first reaction was the China Academy of Fine Arts. Every window is filled with the thoughts of creators.

Above the rich history of old houses, there are more innovations and breakthroughs. The guest rooms transformed from century-old villages and the combination of the old and the new are simple and full of texture.

There is a building in Liuyunfei Villa called the Art Museum for One. There is a hidden wine cellar on the first floor of the museum.

The top is the rural construction style of a paradise outside the world, but the bottom is the wine cellar with colorful lights, two completely different worlds.

The core of the rock is a call from underground. These cylindrical stones come from the ground to a depth of 50 meters, 200 meters or even more.

There is a KTV next door to the wine cellar, and the soundproofing here is very good.

If you stay in a bookstore for a long time, you often need an adjustment. Therefore, this place is not only suitable for middle-aged people to come here for retreat, but also suitable for young people to come here freely and freely.

Art rooted in the earth allows visitors to regain their memories and emotions about natural villages. This is Liuyun's design concept and the gift Liuyun hopes to leave to the earth.

When I was a child, my memories were always the best, and that emotion was always retained in the deepest part of my heart.

Yiting Pavilion (inside is a tea room and VIP dining room)

The courtyard and nature have merged, moss has climbed into the living room, and the walls are also covered with plants, as if wrapped in nature.

The oil paintings hanging on the walls, the gray cement walls, and the entire floor-to-ceiling glass all seem so matched.

Every grass and tree reflect the designer's intentions.

There is a teahouse on the first floor, and a private room on the second floor. Looking out the window, you can see a whole bamboo forest, which is very clean.

I think it will be particularly refreshing to eat here.

Just like Japanese courtyards, all kinds of plants cover the entire courtyard. The blending of various art spaces creates sparks between dreams and reality.

In addition to reading books and staying in B & Bs, you can also experience many activities here. Of course, children can participate together, which is particularly meaningful.

It happens to be Christmas, and today's theme is making Christmas wreaths.

Many adults and children gathered together to share the festive atmosphere. Now there are teachers who teach you personally how to make a beautiful Christmas wreath.

After getting the raw materials and giving guidance, I also made a unique Christmas wreath, which was particularly meaningful and particularly beautiful.

When you do something with your heart, you always feel special joy after success.

In Tonglu, in the mountains, in a B & B. The human touch here seems to be particularly strong. Between people, it often only takes a small gift to maintain their relationships, that's all.

It's nice and fun, but the food here is more delicious. Tonglu has been famous for delicious food since ancient times, and the raw materials of the dishes here are pure natural and pollution-free.

The fish from Fuchun River is perfect for steaming. The umami flavor of your mouth covers your entire lips, making it absolutely impossible for you to stop.

Native chickens often have a more delicious taste, and every piece is very tender and smooth. You can experience the most original taste in the mountains.

Fried bamboo shoots with bacon. The bamboo shoots here all come from the back mountain. Natural gifts often taste more delicious.

The shrimp fished out of the river will be delicious with a little salt, retaining its original taste and often without too much seasoning to modify it.

As night falls, thousands of homes are littered with lights, and B & Bs also light up warm light.

At the Christmas party, wonderful singing celebrated the festival. In Yan Ji, not only could I read books, but I also heard many very beautiful songs.

When we met in the flowing clouds, we not only shared the delicious food, but also shared a lot of happiness.

There is also a lot of warmth in the distant village. It is in such a place hidden in the mountains that Liuyun Rural Villa creates a different world. It gave us an opportunity, gave us such a place, so that we could meet here.

Finish eating the delicious food and listening to the singing. Back in my room, I felt comfortable taking a bath in the cold winter.

Under the loess walls and black tiles, there is a warm room.

There was a slight drizzle outside. Lie in the pure white bathtub, soak in the bath and watch the misty rain. Isn't this the happiest time of life?

The whole room is designed to be very transparent. In winter, floor heating is used. Despite the biting cold wind outside, the interior is as warm as spring. You can get a very good dream here.

In the mountains, in the morning, in the afternoon.
The time here truly belongs to me.
