In the old school of the 'Selenium Capital of China,' I found a summer beyond textbooks!

Gongxi Village, Shitai · Gongxili Homestay: A Poetic Stay in the "Selenium-Rich Capital of China" 🌿 Destination Highlights‌ 1️⃣ ‌Selenium-Rich Haven, Natural Oxygen Bar‌ Shitai is known as the "Selenium-Rich Capital of China," and Gongxi Village is a hidden gem nestled among the mountains. The soil and water here are rich in selenium, and even the air carries a refreshing sweetness. Stroll through the village, where terraced fields cascade and ancient trees tower—every snapshot looks like a National Geographic masterpiece! 2️⃣ ‌Old School Reborn, Artistic Homestay‌ "Gongxili" is transformed from an old village school, retaining the rustic charm of its blue-brick and gray-tile exterior, while the interior blends modern minimalism with wabi-sabi aesthetics. Classrooms become loft suites, the playground turns into a starlit terrace, and blackboards transform into art walls... Staying here feels like traveling back to a simpler, more innocent time. 3️⃣ ‌Selenium-Rich Cuisine, a Must-Try for Wellness‌ The homestay’s restaurant specializes in a "Selenium-Rich Feast," with ingredients sourced entirely from the village—so fresh it’s unforgettable! "Stay in the selenium-rich clouds, where even breathing is rejuvenating." —Here, it’s not just a homestay, but a poetic, selenium-infused way of life in an entire village.
