In search of a slower pace of life, Wang Xu and three friends left the city to create a boutique homestay village nestled in the mountains outside Beijing. A Village Retreat in the Mountains follows their journey—from research and construction to interior design guided by local landscape harmony and rustic preservation. With elements of understated luxury, the project reflects modern China’s desire for balance between urban quality and rural peace. As Qingming Festival approaches, the team plans spring-themed events to welcome guests and celebrate the season in meaningful ways.
