Songyin Inn Collective
Songyin Inn Collective is located within the Yangtianhu Grassland Scenic Area, Beihu District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. It enjoys easy access to Yangtianhu Scenic Area and sits at an average altitude of nearly 800 meters. Boasting picturesque landscapes with clear waters, lush mountains, and rolling hills surrounded by ranges, it has fresh air with a high negative ion concentration and sweet, fragrant mountain spring water—making it an ideal summer resort for escaping the heat.
The inn is fully equipped with supporting facilities, including catering, accommodation, camping, outdoor cooking, a swimming pool, bonfires, barbecues (including whole roasted lamb), open-air movies, and outdoor karaoke. It serves as a perfect destination for team-building activities, gatherings, leisure, entertainment, and vacations.
The founders of the inn are the village head of the local Yao ethnic village and several young people with a deep passion for homestays. They share strong interests in photography, outdoor activities, off-roading, stream trekking, travel, flower arranging, and tea brewing. A group of like-minded friends spent 150 days building this high-quality, distinctive inn near Yangtianhu. The inn embodies simplicity and nature without sacrificing luxury.
The founders have an in-depth knowledge of Chenzhou's tourist attractions, such as the Xiaodong River Shrouded in Mist, the majestic Mang Mountain, Gaoyi Ridge and Feitianshan Mountain (both featuring Danxia landforms), as well as many undeveloped scenic spots. These include free attractions around Yangtianhu: Yangtian Giant Buddha (Jinxian Village), the graceful Yangniao Village, the magical Two-Head Pond Stone Forest, and the legendary Qizi Stone (said to be where the Seven Fairies descended to earth).

☑️Super private, a must-visit retreat, it completely melts away the fatigue of the week 🌬️~
☑️The food at the B&B is incredibly fresh and delicious! I originally wanted to eat at a restaurant 🍚, but the nearest town was nearly an hour's drive away and there wasn't much good food there, so I decided to eat at the B&B. It was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was truly ceremonial, the portions were generous, and the vegetable leaves 🥬 looked like they were freshly picked.
