About accommodation Friends who like tranquility can stay here for two days. This time we stayed at the "Yaochi·Xiaoqikong B&B" in Yaoshan Ancient Village. When you have nothing to do, you can cook tea by the fire in the countryside and chat with friends. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the room can see the strange and endless hills not far away, and the clouds and mist in the early morning make it look like a fairyland. There is also a large bathtub in the room. You can experience Yao bathing, one of the three major bathing cultures in the world, directly in the room. The raw materials are Yao medicine made in the medicine shop. It is really comfortable to enjoy the scenery outside the window while bathing.
