Nestled by the Golden Beach in Haili Village, Shitang – the place where the first rays of the new millennium dawned in China – Yuqili Homestay embraces the most authentic fishing village vibes and the romance of mountains and seas.
Surrounded by mountains and overlooking the sea, it boasts a stunning backdrop of blue waters, clear skies, sunlit beaches and scattered stone houses that bear the marks of time. The rhythmic sound of tides lingers in the air; watch the red sun rise from the waves at dawn, and admire the sails returning with the tides at dusk. A gentle sea breeze, carrying a faint salty tang, sweeps through every corner of the homestay, making it an ideal retreat to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and soothe a weary soul.
Sleep by the Sea, Embrace the Scenery at Your Feet
The homestay is just a stone's throw away from the Golden Beach – a 6-minute walk lets you kick off your shoes, step onto the sand and feel the waves lap at your ankles. It is only a 10-minute drive from the Millennium Sunrise Park, the "land where the first light of the new century shines". Nearby, you can find a string of internet-famous spots including the colorful Xiaoruo Village and the Coastal Greenway.
Cycle through the mountains and seas, or wander along the crisscross stone lanes. Old fishing boats lie at anchor by the shore, and ancient lighthouses stand guard over the tides. Every brick, tile, object and scene tells the stories of the fishing village's years, and every snapshot you take is a heartwarming picture.
Easy Access & Year-Round Delights
The homestay enjoys convenient transportation – a 40-minute self-drive trip from downtown Wenling brings you to this coastal paradise, with breathtaking sea views along the way turning the journey into a scenic experience in itself. There are plenty of nearby attractions to explore: Changyu Cave Scenic Area and Fangshan Scenic Area are both within a 90-minute drive.
Spring invites you to go mountain tea-picking and savor fragrant brews; summer is perfect for chasing waves, beachcombing and reliving childhood joys; autumn treats you to the sight of coastal reeds glowing in the sunset; winter offers cozy feasts of fresh, plump seafood around the table. Each season unfolds its own unique charm.
Fishery-Inspired Elegance & Comfortable Stay
Rooted in the essence of fishing village culture, the homestay offers a variety of distinctive room types. The sea-view king rooms frame a boundless expanse of blue waves right outside the window, while the sea-view balcony family rooms allow you to enjoy the stars, moon and tides with your loved ones. Every room embodies a tribute to the mountains and sea.
All rooms are fully equipped with private bathrooms, 24-hour constant hot water, quiet air conditioners and high-speed WiFi. The linen bedding is skin-friendly and breathable, and toiletries are replaced for each guest to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. Balancing aesthetic appeal with practicality, the homestay provides a warm, home-like accommodation experience for travelers.
The public areas are full of pleasant surprises: the sea-view tea lounge features rattan chairs and tea tables, where you can brew a pot of tea and listen to the waves crashing against the shore; the chess & card room is an ideal place for friends and family to gather, bond over laughter and create wonderful memories.
Culinary & Leisure Pleasures for a Slow Getaway

The public picnic area is great for fun barbecues with friends and family, where you can enjoy delicious food while being caressed by the sea breeze. The library houses books about the fishing village's history and unique handmade souvenirs, letting you embrace a slow-paced moment in a quiet corner. In the afternoon, take a stroll along the Golden Beach, bend down to pick up seashells and build sandcastles, and relive the simple joys of childhood.
Warm Hospitality as Comforting as a Spring Breeze
The hosts of the homestay have an in-depth knowledge of Shitang's tide schedules and fishing seasons. They can recommend hidden scenic spots and authentic local seafood restaurants, helping you unlock the undiscovered romance of the fishing village.
