On June 21 this year, high-quality homestay listings from Xiaozhu Short-Term Rental were officially launched on the Fliggy Homestay Short-Term Rental channel. At the same time, as an important part of this strategic cooperation, Xiaozhu also selected a batch of premium homestays to start live broadcasts on the Fliggy and Taobao apps. Through the lenses of the homestay hosts, viewers can gain a more intuitive understanding of the homestays, immerse themselves in the facilities, services, and surrounding environments, while the hosts are happy to answer questions and share insights about their homestay operations and daily lives. So far, Xiaozhu Homestay Live has held six sessions, with each livestream attracting over ten thousand viewers on average. The listings cover Xiaozhu’s rural boutique stays, family-friendly homestays, and unique overseas properties. Let’s take a look at these wonderful stays~~
Qingcheng Mountain – Where Taoist Heritage Meets “Modern Qingcheng”
Nestled within the mountains where Taoist heritage and Bashu culture blend, this place is surrounded by green hills, grassy fields, bamboo groves, and clear waters. Taoism emphasizes the cultivation of both inner and outer self, and Modern Qingcheng is no different—it preserves the natural charm of Qingcheng in its original form, offering a serene space where simplicity and unity prevail. Nearby, the world-famous Dujiangyan Panda Base is a must-visit, where adorable panda cubs are sure to make you fall in love with this place.
Xi’an – Stay at “Zhongnan Mingshe” and Embrace the Life of a Recluse
The bustling Muslim Quarter and the crowded Terracotta Army sites don’t show you the full charm of Xi’an, this ancient capital with thousands of years of history. Its tranquility and mystique can only be found beyond the hustle and bustle. Just outside Chang’an, beneath the Zhongnan Mountains, lies a peaceful courtyard that feels like a modern embodiment of Tao Yuanming’s line, “Picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern hedge, I glimpse the southern mountains in the distance.” It’s called “Zhongnan Mingshe,” where “Mingshe” means “illuminating the heart, knowing when to give and when to keep.” It’s now also a hub for Xi’an’s culture and arts. Lovers of traditional culture and Buddhist meditation shouldn’t miss it.
Southwest Guizhou – At “Yizhao Yixi,” Have a Sky and Clouds All Your Own
In the Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, there’s a homestay with a 360-degree unobstructed view. Look up, and you’re surrounded by blue skies, white clouds, and a brilliant starry night. Gaze into the distance, and you’ll see the magnificent sight of “a thousand terraced fields woven like brocade, ten thousand peaks forming a forest.” In the wilderness, by the stream, next to the fields, it waits just for you; one door, one light, one person, all reserved for you. The beauty of Southwest Guizhou is all at “Yizhao Yixi.”
