Opened in 2017, the B&B brand is located on the edge of a cliff in Nanshan, near the city. The simple and bright design and open natural scenery have made Mountain Ghost one of the most well-known homestays in Chongqing, and it has even been called a "must-visit attraction in Chongqing" by young people. It is worth mentioning that the mountain ghost and the Nanzhishan Book House are only a few hundred meters apart, so friends who are sightseeing in Nanshan may wish to visit together.
The term "mountain ghost" comes from Qu Yuan's work of the same name, which means the spirit of the mountain, and the owner uses this name to interpret the lifestyle of Chongqing people living in the mountains. The most striking feature of the mountain ghost is its all-glass structure, which opens up most of the interior space, and the floor-to-ceiling glass extends from the ground to the roof, allowing the interior to be flooded with light and symmetrical. Excellent lighting and shadow effects not only make it easier to take beautiful photos, but also make it pleasant. The first floor of the store is a dining area, with a private restaurant and café; The second and third floors are specially opened up rest areas for guests to drink tea, afternoon tea and take pictures. The staircase is also designed with transparent glass, and even the entrance of the corridor is extended to serve as a platform for drinking tea and viewing.
The rest of the space is rented out as guest rooms, and the names of the six rooms also come from Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghosts": A Mountain, Xin Yi, Zimu, Han Jian, Du Heng, and Yi Susi, which roughly means "in the depths of the mountain forest full of herbs and trees, looking at the person you admire". Despite the antique name, the interior of the room is designed in a minimalist style that is popular with young people nowadays. The space is not large, but due to the simplicity of the furniture and accessories, the space is large and not cramped. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall, you can see the changing scenery of the mountains and forests; When the sky is clear, you can see the stars in the sky when you look up through the inclined glass.
All rooms include 1.8*2m large beds, hair dryers, water heaters and other conventional hardware, and all rooms use Acca Kappa's bath kits, which exceed many suburban B&Bs of the same price in Chongqing. However, there are some details in the room that are not considered humane, such as waterproof engineering, power location, shower curtain design, etc. The price range of the six rooms ranges from 600 yuan/night to 900 yuan/night according to the area and scenery, and there will be a price increase of about 100 yuan on holidays.
Breakfast is included in the room price, but it's just a bowl of noodles or some snacks with little water, which is not exquisite. If you're looking for a higher quality meal, head downstairs to a private Sichuan restaurant or café for an additional fee. Due to its reputation, the store is often full of visitors, and on holidays, the first and second floors are surrounded by water, which has an impact on the guests staying at night, and this situation improves after dark. At present, Mountain Ghost only accepts WeChat reservations, and interested friends can add the "Mountain Ghost MontMirage" official account to inquire about the room type and schedule, but due to the hot order, it is recommended to book one month in advance.
