Lantian Bieye Homestay

Lantian Bieye: A Poetic Retreat for Tidal Flat Exploration and Fisherman’s Light Childhood Fun Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city, there always exists a stretch of mountains and sea where poetry and tranquility find their home. Lantian Bieye, a hidden guesthouse nestled against mountains and beside the sea, transforms the ideal of "picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence,悠然 (leisurely) gazing at southern mountains" from Tao Yuanming’s verse into tangible reality. At the entrance, a meticulously designed narrow passageway evokes the意境 (atmosphere) of Tao’s "initially extremely narrow, only allowing one person through"—a桃源 (peach blossom utopia) ritual. As guests traverse this passage, the world opens up: a vast public area unfolds like a scroll, framing the grandeur of mountains and sea in one sweeping view. The 14 guest rooms are named after poems from Wang Wei’s *Wangchuan Collection*: Wenxing Pavilion (Literary Apricot Pavilion), Luanjia Lai (Luanjia Rapids), Baishi Tan (White Stone Shoal), Xin Yi Wu (Magnolia Grove)... Each name is an unfinished poem, waiting for guests to pen their own chapters. The rooms blend modern minimalist aesthetics with traditional scholarly charm—floor-to-ceiling glass windows invite the mountain-sea scenery indoors, allowing intimate dialogue with nature even during rest. Perched atop a hill, the guesthouse offers unparalleled views: mornings bring sunrise over the East China Sea, evenings serenade with fisherman songs at dusk. Specially designed viewing platforms and rooftop terraces grant 360-degree panoramic vistas—on clear days, distant islands loom like ink washes, while nearby fishing boats dot the water, painting a dynamic seascape. Lantian Bieye crafts a journey back to nature for urban dwellers. The surrounding sea area boasts a rich intertidal ecosystem; when the tide recedes, vast mudflats emerge as playgrounds for exploration. Collaborating with local fishermen, the guesthouse offers the "Fisherman’s Life Experience," where guests learn to identify traces of shellfish and crabs, enjoy the thrill of coastal foraging, and immerse in authentic fishing culture. The central lawn serves as a versatile space: a daytime paradise for children to run and play, transforming into a starry cinema or bonfire venue by night. The restaurant serves daily-caught seafood, letting taste buds savor the freshest coastal flavors. Leisure spaces like the teahouse and library allow adults to unwind with tea and books, embracing the art of slow living. Lantian Bieye, this poetic haven between mountains and sea, captivates urban souls craving a slower rhythm. Here, time softens, senses sharpen, and the soul finds rest. As the city’s noise fades, the natural melody of mountains and sea gently settles into the heart—this is the precious gift Lantian Bieye offers to every guest.
