Nestled in the serene Xiadi Village, Pingnan County, Fujian Province (locate at the Vanguard Paddy Field Bookstore), one can easily traverse the entire hamlet within an hour. The recent rainfall has left the scenery clean and refreshing, creating an ideal atmosphere for a leisurely stroll. Two noteworthy spots stand out as must-visits:
📍The Vanguard Paddy Field Bookstore, a three-story edifice, offers a diverse range of cultural products, books, and audiovisuals on the ground floor. The second floor houses a cozy cafe and reading area, where one can gaze out through floor-to-ceiling windows at the vast rice paddies and quaint old buildings. The rooftop terrace provides a panoramic view, particularly breathtaking during the summer and autumn when the lush greens and golden hues invite repeated visits.
🏠The Yu Yang Mu Homestay, run by a charming couple, exudes a welcoming ambiance. Every corner is thoughtfully decorated, offering a serene escape where one can sit in the courtyard, admire the surrounding rice fields, and listen to the soothing sounds of the stream, all troubles melting away. Notably, the hosts are exceptionally warm and friendly, giving the impression that they are not just running a business but fostering friendships. Impressively, they even recognized my dog from a previous visit last year. If you’re planning a visit to Xiadi and seeking a homestay experience, I highly recommend this charming abode nestled amidst the rice paddies.
