Summer Escape Destination: "Cloud Soaring" in Xiapu

If Xiapu is a scroll of maritime ink painting left behind in eastern Fujian, then "Cloud Soaring | Aesthetic Homestay" is the poetic negative space within that artwork—here, you'll find not just the sea, but a dreamy dwelling suspended among the clouds. ● Architectural Poetry: Geometric Verses Above the Clouds Pure white walls cascade in staggered "floating" layers that echo the mountain terrain, while 270° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea and sky as natural murals. Open your window at dawn to watch mist flow through your fingers; lean on the railing at dusk as the setting sun gilds the entire structure into a golden box. ● Room Narratives: Every Window Is a Private Theater - *Flying Curtain West Sea View Tatami*: The tatami extends toward the horizon, with ocean waves as your natural white noise. - *Loft Suite*: The second-floor loft features a private tea room, perfect for intimate moments with the fishing boat lights and whispered conversations with the stars. ● A Meticulous Obsession with Details The full set of bath amenities is from the British brand Lixiang, featuring custom sandalwood fragrances. A paper lantern in the corner, a miniature dry landscape by the wall, dozens of potted plants throughout the house, and several floral arrangements—all personally curated by the host. --- ● Hidden Gems Around Xiapu: Another Way to Explore - *Dongbi Village Sunset Platform* (5-minute walk) - *Fujian's Little South Putuo: Liuyun Zen Temple* (5-minute walk) - *Xiaohao Beach* (10-minute drive): Vibrant tidal flats and S-shaped waterways, ideal for drone photography. - *Yugongting Tidal Flat Morning Scene* (10-minute drive): Observe seaweed farms from afar—fisherwomen at work and seaweed curtains hanging on bamboo poles create a living *Tiangong Kaiwu* painting. - *Huazhu Village* (15-minute drive): Recognized by CCTV as "China's Most Beautiful Sunrise Spot," where sea clouds and fishing boats share the frame. - *Xiawei Island Sea Erosion Cave* (1h20m drive): Venture into the cave at low tide, where blue light refracting off the walls feels like a scene from *Life of Pi*. *Pro tip*: Wear a light-colored long dress and stand at the cave entrance against the light—snap 50 shots mid-twirl for guaranteed magical photos. ● Immersive Experiences: Turning Days into Haiku - Sunrise yoga on the infinity water platform, breathing in negative ions. - Sip a pomegranate americano at the bar, followed by an afternoon tea session. - Private seafood feast: Razor clams and mussels freshly bought from the dock by your butler, paired with wine. - Lounge on the terrace daybed watching *The Legend of 1900*, with waves as your soundtrack. ● Host's Notes - We don’t create Instagram hotspots—we craft spaces where time stands still. When you find stars from last night nestled in the cracks of Cloud Soaring’s stone steps... - When the sea breeze flips your book open to a haiku... - When a sunset framed by a window mirrors one your mother described thirty years ago... —*This* is the "local romance" we offer, beyond mere accommodation. ● Stay Tips - Off-season: ~$35/person with butler service - Peak season: ~$55/person - 30-minute drive from Xiapu High-Speed Rail Station - Hidden perk: Occasional $0.15 coffee surprises > "Cloud Soaring" isn’t just a destination— > It’s your secret elopement with the mountains and sea.

Xiapu is stunningly beautiful, but I honestly don't recommend visiting in July because...
