Sitting by the window in her bed &breakfast (B&B) guesthouse, Meng Shuhui enjoys a glass of cham-pagne, while admiring the land-scape outside. The weather is just perfect at this time of the year, and the scenery that stretches before her is picturesque: white clouds, blue sky and rolling green hills. Time seems to stand still, except for a symphony of cicadas coming from the nearby bamboo forest. Located in a bamboo village at the foot of Mogan Mountain in Deqing County, two-hour drive from Hangzhou, the capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, this guesthouse is the ideal refuge for Meng, who went there to take a rest after several intense days of stressful work in the city.
