Geography and Transportation

Nestled in Shigu Village, Shilin Town, Green Bamboo Forest Farmhouse is a hidden gem in Chongqing’s rural heartland. About a 90-minute drive from downtown Chongqing, it’s perfect for a quick escape from the city’s chaos. The farmhouse sits beside a river, surrounded by rolling hills and endless green fields. To get here, you can either rent a car (GPS: Shigu Village) or take a local bus from Chongqing’s South Long Stadium station to Shilin Town, then hop on a motorcycle taxi for the final 10-minute ride.

Natural Scenery

At Green Bamboo Forest Farmhouse, nature steals the show. The name says it all: think miles of lush bamboo groves swaying in the wind, a crystal-clear river running through the property, and rice paddies that look like shimmering gold in autumn. There’s also a small forest trail where you might spot butterflies, birds, or even a curious goat. In spring, the bamboo forest turns misty and magical, while summer brings lotus flowers blooming by the river—perfect for Instagram shots!

Cultural Touches

This isn’t just a pretty place—it’s packed with local charm. The owners are a family of farmers who’ve lived here for generations. They’ll happily teach you to cook Chongqing-style hotpot using their own chili peppers (grown right here!) or show you how to weave bamboo baskets. During festivals, villagers host lion dances and serve sticky rice dumplings—a taste of authentic rural life. Don’t miss the farmhouse’s antique tools collection, which tells the story of China’s farming past.

What You Can Do Here

Green Bamboo Forest Farmhouse keeps you busy. Start your day fishing in the river (they’ve got bait ready) or join a vegetable-picking session in the organic garden. For adrenaline junkies, there’s a zip line over the bamboo forest. Kids love feeding the ducks and goats, while adults might prefer sipping tea under the shade of an old banyan tree. At night, join a campfire with live folk music—the owners often invite local singers.

Stay and Eat

The farmhouse offers simple but comfy rooms with wooden decor, or you can pitch a tent in the bamboo grove (glamorous camping, Chongqing style!). Food
