【Miqiuye】Hide away in a 25℃ forest glass house! Healed by cicadas, streams, and endless greenery

🌿【Miqiuye】Hide away in a 25℃ forest glass house! A summer cooling diary healed by cicadas, streams, and endless greenery🍉 **✨"When the city heatwave neared 40℃, I escaped to this breathable guesthouse"** Last weekend, I finally checked in to the fairy-tale guesthouse that had been in my favorites for half a year! A 1.5-hour drive from downtown Hangzhou, the moment I opened the car door, the mountain breeze embraced me, and the perceived temperature dropped by 10℃❄️ At the end of a bamboo forest path shaded by lush greenery, a pure white and natural wood-colored glass house stood quietly, like a scene straight out of a Studio Ghibli animation~ **🌱 Living inside a forest oil painting** The "Luhua" room we booked was simply amazing! The 270° floor-to-ceiling windows were gently wrapped by climbing ivy, and waking up in the morning meant seeing dappled tree shadows swaying. The tatami mattress was soft and fluffy, wrapped in sun-dried cotton-linen sheets, and even the dreams smelled like fresh grass🍃 The biggest surprise was the skylight design in the bathroom—when soaking at night, you could look up and see the stars! (Remember to turn off the lights; fireflies will come dance by the window✨) **🍉 Summer limited healing list** ▫️ **Mountain spring chilled party**: The host picks fresh watermelon and bayberry daily, naturally chilled in the creek at the door, bursting with juicy sweetness in every bite! ▫️ **Secret creek tracing route**: Follow the guesthouse map to find the cold spring behind the mountain, where the water is so clear you can count the pebbles on the bottom. Sitting by the waterfall enjoying mung bean ice smoothie is so healing~ ▫️ **Starry sky cinema**: Set up a screen in the courtyard, watch "My Neighbor Totoro" in the evening breeze with a mint mojito, suddenly understanding the joy of the little forest! **📸 100% photogenic treasure spots** 1️⃣ Crystal chandelier and rattan chair at the restaurant corner, backlit shots come with a natural soft-focus filter 2️⃣ Moon swing on the third-floor terrace, wearing a white dress for a stunning back view **🍵 Unexpected rituals** ▪️ Receive a handwritten welcome card and a bouquet of seasonal wildflowers upon check-in ▪️ Night turndown service quietly lights a citrus aroma ▪️ Checkout gift is the host’s homemade osmanthus honey (perfect with yogurt!) **💡 Real experience tips** ✅ Big temperature difference in the mountains! Bring a light jacket for the cool evenings ✅ Non-drivers can book guesthouse pick-up and drop-off (advance communication required) ❌ No influencer-style posing! This place is for those who truly want to unwind 🌙 **Final thoughts** During three days and two nights at Miqiuye, the phone signal was intermittent, which instead let me hear the long-lost "quiet"—the crisp drip of morning dew on a clay pot, the crackling of firewood in the stove, and my own gradually slowing breath. If you also want to temporarily escape the air-conditioned room, why not come here for a few days of life where "shade is more important than WiFi"?~
