In Chishang town – administered by Zibo city in East China's Shandong province – the Banshanxingshe homestay is perched on a mountain slope and surrounded by apricot trees.
This idyllic homestay offers exquisite wooden houses and stone houses. The stones for the stone houses were chosen from the seafloor hundreds of millions of years ago. The wooden houses are more popular among tourists, which are closer to the valley and face the cliffs.
