Healing Moments at Aishu Cihu Academy

Just a 1.5-hour drive from the city, nestled amidst the lush greenery and clear waters of Zengcheng, Aishu Cihu Academy comes into view. Upon check-in, the refreshing iced tea offered at the front desk instantly cools you down. Looking up, you’re greeted by a vast green lawn embracing the shimmering lake, and the city’s summer heat feels like a distant memory. Our room faced the lake directly, and opening the window revealed a picturesque scene where "water and sky merge as one." In the afternoon, I curled up in a rattan chair on the balcony, watching the clouds drift lazily across the lake. Occasionally, a small boat would glide by, startling a few waterbirds into flight. The pink tent on the lawn was particularly photogenic. My friend and I took turns snapping pictures, with sunlight streaming through the gauzy fabric, casting a soft glow even on our hair. In the evening, we enjoyed a simple meal at a lakeside table, the breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees over our shoulders. The distant mountains were outlined in gold by the setting sun. After dinner, we strolled along the lakeshore as the streetlights gradually lit up, their warm glow reflecting off the rippling water. Fellow guests we encountered spoke in hushed tones, as if not to disturb the tranquility. Time moves slowly here: you can laze on the lawn all afternoon, watching the clouds shift and change, or borrow a fishing rod from the inn and quietly wait by the lake for a bite. The staff’s thoughtful touches, like discreetly delivering mosquito repellent or cleaning with the utmost care, add a sense of comfort and ease. If you’re looking for a corner to "lie flat" and escape the hustle and bustle, come to Aishu Cihu Academy. Open your window to a lake view, step outside to meet the mountains, and breathe in the fresh scent of nature. It’s so healing, you won’t want to leave.
