Bamboo forest, moonlit night,

fine wine, folk songs,

and young and frivolous rhetoric.

That night, I remember your laughter,

like a silver bell in the mountain,

clear and sweet, the sound is endless.

▼The mountain hut that even the guide could not find

Driving up the narrow mountain road from the lively Yu Village, one by one cottages and B&Bs passed by the car window. After turning a few corners, the surroundings became quiet. Get off the car at the parking lot next to the stream, then walk more than 100 meters along a bamboo forest path beside it, and a small white building appears in front of you. Here, there are only lush green bamboo forests, and you can only hear the singing of birds, the rustle of bamboo leaves in the wind, and the tinkling of mountain spring water. It is hard to imagine that there is such a hidden mountain residence only 5 minutes' drive from the center of Moganshan town.

What initially attracted us was a Google Earth video sent by Nigel. It showed a large area of ​​dark green with a little white. This is Shan Yaoling. "The house is hidden in the mountains. Unless you have a drone, you can't see it at all."

Even the navigation can't be found. When guests come, the owner often needs to go to the roadside to greet him. Nigel has been looking for this perfect location for a long time and found it. A treasured place.

Like many Shanghainese, Nigel has an inexplicable yearning for Mogan Mountain. Since 2008, he has always taken his family to Moganshan to stay for a few days every summer. As a result, he became one of the first guests of Moganshan Hotel, having lived on the Western Slope and slept in the Bird's Nest.

In 2014, the owner of Helai Villa, who often went to eat there, suggested to him that since he is here every year, why not just rent a house in Moganshan as a B&B? Nigel found a designer from Shanghai, looked at several houses together, and finally chose a private house in Mogaowu.

"This is the closest B&B to Jianchi. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the town center and 1.6 kilometers to Jianchi. What makes me even more attracted is that it is not on the roadside and has no neighbors. Most people don't even look for it. No, the whole view is very pure, just bamboo forest and blue sky. "

▼Nothing style, just as comfortable as home ht. ml2

When talking about Shan Yaoling's style, Nigel smiled hesitantly, "I can't explain how to make it comfortable."

From the beginning, Nigel positioned Shan Yaoling as "family-oriented", so more than 350 Only four guest rooms were built in the square meter indoor space, because "it is enough for the elderly and children to come over for a family vacation." A large amount of space is left for the sunken living room, spacious bar, high-ceiling dining room and open kitchen .

Shan Yaoling is a renovation of an old house, but Nigel doesn’t like to stick to the old. He chooses more new elements and at the same time turns the old things into a creative touch.

The exterior walls are painted pure white, and the interior is also completely white. The floor, countertops, and pillars are made of a large amount of white cement mixed with colored sand. They need to be sanded seven times from coarse to fine, and then waxed and polished. It is more expensive than solid wood to make, and it needs to be waxed and maintained every year, but the key is "nice".

He likes the windows to be bigger and brighter. But as soon as a window is opened in the earthen wall, it will fall down. "We will first open a crack, then use wood to lift it up, open another crack, and then lift it up again. Finally, the whole roof is completed, open a window, and pour a beam in the middle. It holds up.”

The sunken living room was dug down eighty centimeters, and the entire sofa and countertop were made of white cement. In addition to floor heating throughout the house, floor heating is also installed under the sofa. "In winter, your feet are warm when you step on it, and it is hot when you sit on it, just like getting on a kang." But this "comfort of nesting" is all dug out by workers with their bare hands. "The ground is full of stones, and machines can't get up from the mountains, so we have to dig it manually. It took more than a month to dig the swimming pool and living room."

Of course, the element of wood is also indispensable. Nigel found an old elm door, polished it, painted it, and added four legs to make it a coffee table in the living room. Another five or six old door panels were selected from the available parts, one was assembled vertically and the other horizontally, to make two long tables in the restaurant.The old pine floor is laid on the roof, coupled with the old wooden beams and mottled blackened pillars, giving it a sense of vicissitudes of the old house.

The most difficult thing to find is the stairs. "The original floor slabs were rotten, and we didn't want to use new ones, so we went to collect the old stairs from someone else's demolished house. The dimensions had to be exactly this long and this high. In the end, we waited for two full months before we received them, and we brought them over in one piece. , spread on Shan Yaoling.”

▼Bake a cake, make a cup of latte, make a big meal, and hold a PARTY. Everything except Wuliangye and red wine are free. "Treat yourself at home" is the right way to open Shanyaoling.

Enter the house, After putting on his slippers and throwing his bag on the sofa, he suddenly had the illusion that he was the owner of this small villa, and this was exactly the feeling Nigel wanted to give his guests.

There is no drink price list on the bar, only a row of various small appliances. "Waffle machine, I have premixed powder, guests can adjust it and bake it themselves; American drip filter coffee machine , which is mostly used by foreigners; Italian coffee machine , pour the coffee beans in, latte, cappuccino Chino can do it all. "Ice machines, yogurt machines, juicers, and ice cream machines are also available. Opening the cabinet door reveals a complete set of equipment for making cakes, including high flour, low flour, molds, scales, egg beaters, etc.

In addition to red wine and Wuliangye, other drinks and food here are provided free of charge. Whether it’s Starbucks’ hot chocolate, Twinings tea bags, various loose teas, cola, or imported German dark beer, I also made bayberry wine made from bayberries picked from the tree in front of my house.

Shan Yaoling pursues self-service. Except for Nigel and an aunt who cooks and cleans, there is no store manager or housekeeper. So, don’t yell “Boss, make a cup of tea” here. Make tea, brew coffee, wash fruits yourself, pick a handful of lettuce in the backyard vegetable patch to make a salad in the morning, and go to the kitchen to show off your cooking skills in the evening. The complete range of seasonings here is amazing. There are nearly ten kinds of herbs used in Western dishes, including basil, thyme, rosemary, etc. It is not difficult for a "newbie" to make delicious dishes with full flavor.

Since there are only four guest rooms, Shanyaoling rents out private rooms on weekends, which is especially suitable for parties and . It is also equipped with a 3D projector, a motion-sensing game console, and a karaoke machine. Nigel also made a small room in the parking lot. Small golf driving range. And since there are no neighbors nearby, no one will complain no matter how high you are at night.

On weekdays, Yaoling only receives one group of guests. "Even if the guests only book one room, I will close the other rooms to give them the entire building to ensure privacy."

▼Vacation by yourself in the off-season. Peak season and fellow travelers Share, don’t deliberately pursue profit margins, and enjoy the happiness of running a B&B.

I chose to open a B&B because I yearned for a poetic residence, but had to work hard because of the pressure to return the capital. For many B&B owners, the ideal romantic life eventually became It became a tacky business.

But Nigel’s Shan Yaoling has maintained a moderate distance from the operation from the beginning. "I hope it's half and half. My family can go on vacation in the off-season and rent it out in the peak season. I haven't thought about making more money. It's enough to make almost the same income as when I was working."

After becoming a Shanyaoling, Nigel quit his job in a trading company. . "I usually live in Shanghai with my family. If there are guests, I will come over." The service is also relatively simple. I introduce the use of various facilities to the guests. After that, he will wisely avoid it, go hiking, or find other B&B hosts to drink tea. "If you have any questions, just call."

Shan Yaoling was officially completed in June last year, and Nigel could finally spend a long summer in Mogan Mountain. "I take my son hiking in the mountains every day, fishing in the creek, and catching butterflies and insects. The children are so happy that they don't want to go back to Shanghai." In the off-season after November, my parents-in-law became the owners of Shan Yaoling and lived in the mountains for two months. .

The name of Shan Yaoling comes from the various sounds in the mountains, "birds chirping, insects chirping, it feels like ringing a bell in the mountains.""Every morning at around 5 o'clock, he would be awakened from his sleep by these crisp and sweet "ringing bells". He would climb mountains during the day, and at night he would like to watch the stars with an astronomical telescope on the rooftop.

Nigel formed the Moganshan Non-official Fang’s B&B host WeChat group also made a group of friends. Of course, more of the friends are guests from Shanyaoling. Because they like the relaxation and comfort of home and the unique experience of having a party in Mogan Mountain. Ling is very popular among young people.

Today, Nigel is as familiar with Mogan Mountain as a local. “I can take guests to Mogan for only 0 yuan, as long as they bring enough water. Taking the small road saves at least two-thirds of the time compared to the main road, and you can visit the scenic spot in one afternoon. "

Build a small house, meet close friends, and waste time in the mountains and forests. Isn't it just for this simple pleasure to open a B&B?
