Summer vacation is here. Still not sure where to explore nearby? Tired of the city’s hustle and bustle, want to escape the stuffy boredom of air-conditioned rooms, and feel like getting out after shaking off heavy work pressure? Weekends should be relaxing and enjoyable—cozy with family, and fun with friends. But maybe you’ve been to many places and stayed in many homes, yet nothing has left a deep impression. There are still many hidden gems for local trips waiting to be discovered, and plenty of places you haven’t stayed in yet. Once you experience them, you’ll find that “staying” here is the best kind of local trip.
Luoyang — Rustic charm of countryside farmsteads
You may have visited many agritainment spots around the city, but most are pretty similar, with the rural flavor fading away. However, as a countryside farmstead, the Luanchuan Tujia Homeaway Resort (Shimen Earthen House) adds more character to the typical farmstay. Nestled against mountains and near water, all courtyards in the estate are restored to resemble traditional Western Henan residences, exuding the charm of old rural days. Chatting and sipping tea surrounded by nostalgic adobe walls, carved lattice windows, and simple grey bricks and green tiles makes time feel slow and peaceful.
The Shimen Earthen House is close to many attractions such as Chongdugou, Jiulongshan Hot Springs, and the Maldives Water Park. Kids will definitely love splashing around in the water. The rooms here are also uniquely designed, each decorated in a classic Chinese rustic style. Root-carved tea tables and chairs, along with cozy and comfortable beds, offer a distinctive experience and a great space to relax and unwind.

Those who love cooking can also buy the freshest seafood and prepare a mouthwatering seafood dinner back at the apartment.
From the apartment window, you can also enjoy breathtaking coastal views, listen to the rhythm of the waves, and gaze at the harbor full of fishing boats.
