GGuest UserOur two families, comprising four adults and five children, drove for just over an hour from Dongguan city center to reach the destination. From the moment we began our ascent into the mountains, we were captivated. The mountain road was long, winding, and had some steep sections, giving us the impression of venturing deep into the mountains. It truly hugged the mountainside with very little flat ground, no rest stops, and no residential areas. However, the entrance itself was quite spacious. The timing of our visit was perfect; it wasn't overly crowded. Parking was convenient, and check-in was swift. Private vehicles are not allowed to roam freely within the scenic area, but the WeChat concierge was very responsive, and sightseeing buggies were available for longer distances.
We opted for the tent accommodations. The tent rooms were compact and charming, which the children absolutely loved. It was wonderful for both families to sit together, enjoy tea, chat, and soak in the fresh air of the 'natural oxygen bar'. As expected, there were some mosquitoes, but luckily, we came prepared with mosquito repellent spray and an electric mosquito swatter. Each room also had electric mosquito coils provided, but bringing our own offered extra peace of mind!
In the afternoon, just before dinner, the concierge suddenly informed us that there was a hot water malfunction. After some discussion, they promptly moved us to three adjoining rooms, which effectively meant an upgrade to units with private pools. However, only two of the girls ended up using the pools for a short while, as we chose to spend most of our time exploring the scenic area. The glass skywalk and rafting were thrilling and enjoyable. Overall, it was a very pleasant short trip.
The next day, we checked out around 11 AM and had a meal at a local farm-style restaurant down the hill before heading back to Dongguan. The food was authentic Cantonese and absolutely delicious.
