"I drove to Yangshuo with my good friend. There was no strategy or plan. I stayed wherever I felt fun. When I came to the sickle bay of Lijiang River, I fell in love with Shanshui Yao at first sight. It is surrounded by strange-shaped peaks. The Lijiang River is in front of the door. It is very quiet and elegant. It is really a good place to escape from the hustle and bustle. When I asked if there were any rooms available that day, I would rest here and be in a daze.
As soon as I walked into the room, I was really surprised. I didn't expect that there would be such a design-oriented homestay in a village. There is a big round window at the entrance, and here is a big bathtub. Haha, it's a pity that I didn't bring my wife this time. She must like this feeling.
Looking at other corners of the room, the Southeast Asian style is indeed strong. The most pleasant thing is that I sit in the room and make tea, and the Guilin landscape is outside. I can take in the scenery without leaving the house. This feeling is so amazing.
On the first floor, we saw a mineral exhibition hall. It's strange that the homestay hotel looks like a museum, but it's quite interesting. I asked and found out that the minerals here are not only for display, but you can also buy them home if you like them. When we were looking at the ore, we happened to meet the manager, Sister Zhou. During the communication, we learned that she was a member of the geological team. She enthusiastically invited us to go to the osmanthus ancient road she developed for geological research. When we heard that we could pick up fossils hundreds of millions of years ago if we were lucky, my good brother and I immediately became interested.
After we were ready, the hotel housekeeper would take us to the hiking point by shuttle bus, and then the geological research began. Along the way, Sister Zhou explained to us the causes and evolution of karst landforms, telling us that this is a bryozoan fossil, that is a stromatoporoid, that is a lichen, and so on! Suddenly, I felt that the abstract nouns in the textbook became vivid. Along the way, in addition to seeing fossils from hundreds of millions of years ago, we also saw beautiful landscapes. This is really a place that mass tourism cannot reach, and the harvest is great."
