Rural Simplicity & Social Abundance – A Weekend in Anhui’s Mountains with Nautilus Award Winner Andy Couturier

Join us for an extended weekend in the beautiful countryside of Anhui, where we will stay in a semi-abandoned village which was recently renovated by the Wildhomestays team.

Unwind from Shanghai city life and enjoy a walk in the or take a dip in the crystal-clear water of the ponds along the creek behind the village. First, charge your batteries and then participate in our evening events with Andy Couturier, author of The Abundance of Less, to learn from his experience with Japanese counterculture and how it relates to you and to China.
