An art tour with nature Today, Xuan Xuan came to the outdoor garden of Four Points by Sheraton, Heshan, Guangdong. The children followed the teacher to paint in the blue sky, so it makes sense!
Under the lead of Heshan local friends, we went to a restaurant called [Zhujiazhuang] for lunch
friends to know that any dish, any meat, any rice in Zhujiazhuang was steamed with bamboo. On the table, very interesting!
The food was immediately shocked when it was on the table!
The table is full of rows of bamboo, giving people a visual shock. All kinds of dishes and steamed rice are steamed and served on the bamboo tube. Everyone can't help but let the phone and camera eat first!
The small bamboo rice is full of natural flavor, which can better preserve the original flavor of the ingredients, and also bring a touch of bamboo fragrance to the ingredients. Endless feeling.
One sentence, "Country Garden, give you a five-star home" goes deep into everyone's heart, not to mention the Phoenix Hotel that has stayed at Country Garden twice. I have already fallen in love at first sight, and I have seen it at first sight.
Efficient, thoughtful and friendly service, which is why we have chosen to stay at Country Garden Hotel again and again.
Enjoy the "sentimental smile, perfection" star service is not just talk about it, every time you stay at Country Garden Hotel can have a warm, long-lasting happiness experience.
Speaking of the most eye-opening and enjoying life, count the presidential suite! The two-story presidential suite is divided into a living room, guest room, kitchen, dining room, lady room, master room, etc. Every place, every detail is full of luxury!

Look for this place in Jiangmen...
I found a paradise for Jiangmen people
-This place is like a place where people who cultivate immortality in martial arts novels live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. I didn't expect to find such a place in Jiangmen where I can relax and enjoy the tranquility of nature.
📝 This is a new Chinese-style tea house. The decoration style is very suitable for taking photos of new Chinese-style cheongsam and Hanfu. It is a good place to take photos. There are also a few kittens to pet. I heard that the kittens inside are pregnant and just gave birth to 4 kittens. There are about 7 kittens, and there is also a dumb French bulldog.
-I took pictures of almost all the scenes in the store for your reference.
Drinking tea in such a place and relaxing your body and mind is a pleasant day in Jiangmen!

We were caught in a storm in the afternoon and couldn't continue our visit, which was a shame. I would love to come back again. 🥳
PS:
⭐️Food: There is a McDonald's and a KFC in the scenic area, and there are also river fish restaurants nearby.

After rafting, take the magic carpet back

First of all, its length and height difference are really special

Next time I want to bring my friends along😗
In the 23-degree rafting world, enjoy the fun of playing with water in summer to the fullest!
Dear friends, Gaoming Youlong Gorge is absolutely amazing!!
During the summer vacation, I took my family to experience the rafting at Gaoming Youlong Gorge. It took about 1 hour to get there from Foshan Nanhai. The whole family drove there, which was very convenient, and we could easily bring clothes and tools.
This place is very suitable for a family outing👨👩👧👦~ The whole trip takes about two hours, and after rafting, you can have a water fight. Remember to bring a scoop🥳. By the way, although it's not as thrilling as Gulong Gorge, it's still very stress-relieving with all the screaming along the way. It's perfect for interacting with family and having a water fight. The difficulty level is not high, so it's quite suitable for beginners✅. It's also no problem to bring parents and children~
After playing, you can enjoy the delicious food around here, which is very rich~ There are radish beef offal, lemon🍋 chicken feet, and for the main course, there are big plate fish, braised goose, etc.😋 You can choose whatever you like~ Even in the suburbs, you can have a different food experience!
However, there are many people on weekends, so you have to queue. It's best to go on weekdays. If you don't want to queue, buy a VIP ticket🎫, and you can go through without any obstacles! Let's go, dear friends💖
A homestay in Heshan, Jiangmen, that's been overwhelmingly popular
The summer atmosphere is immersive, and IntoSpring is the place I'd most like to recommend to you.
IntoSpring Homestay in Heshan is located in Yongle Village, Hecheng Town, Heshan City, surrounded by mountains and water, far from the bustling city. It features an infinity pool that lets you immerse yourself in the tranquil summer vibe~
The homestay has a total of 9 rooms, with a refined decoration style that is simple without losing attention to detail. Each room is equipped with a projector, and 'Xiao Ai' can help you operate all the smart home devices. The furnishings are all carefully selected by the owner, full of thoughtfulness. There's a rich variety of green plants, and surprises are everywhere.
The most recommended is the homestay's hot pot dinner, with chicken soup base/clear water ginger pot that brings out the original flavor of the ingredients, offering a taste that's simply 'fresh'.
Their home-grown Ganoderma vegetables are freshly picked and have an excellent taste.
You also shouldn't miss the unique flavor of the Agaricus mushrooms, which pair perfectly with the plump fan-shaped chicken.
The fish is also caught and slaughtered on the spot, sliced into fish fillets, crystal clear and very tempting.
Have a date with summer and experience drifting for the first time
📍Attraction Address:
Gaoming District, Foshan City, Youlong Gorge Drifting
🚗Transportation to Attraction:
It's more convenient to drive by yourself. We set off from Mingcheng Town and it took about 40 minutes.
👍️Must-visit Spot:
It's mainly a drifting project, nothing much else~
🎟️Ticket Information:
It's recommended to check group tickets on various platforms. We bought a double ticket for 148 yuan at that time. It was quite a good deal
💗Other tips:
‼️Please remember to bring swimming gear, as it was a spontaneous decision, so it turned into a trip on a whim.
Bring slippers, towels, and a change of clothes
It's best to wear a swimsuit when drifting (you will really get soaked )
Waterproof phone📱bags, water guns, and other water-play items
It was my first time drifting, and it felt pretty cool. The whole process took about an hour.
The mountain spring water is very cool, and it's thrilling when rushing down from high places. You will pass through several steep slopes in quick succession, so make sure to hold onto the raft's handles and wear a safety helmet⛑.
After buying tickets, you'll check in and board a shuttle bus that will take us up. The road winds up, surrounded by great natural scenery. On the way back, you'll ride the 'Flying Dragon Magic Carpet' which is quite interesting, like a transport fee sitting backwards or you can walk by yourself.
After drifting, you can take a shower, there are hairdryers available, and at the entrance of the visitor center, there is brown sugar ginger tea available.
It's a very worthwhile place for swimming, the price is reasonable, and kids will definitely love it. However, very small babies🚼are not allowed to enter, after all, safety is the most important.

I went to buy it after visiting the museum at noon, not far away, it's said to be rice milk put chai ko, and several flavors were already sold out. I bought 6 for 10 yuan, quite a bargain. I also went to a nearby dessert shop, wanted to eat walnut paste, but was told it's only available on weekends.
Four Points by Sheraton Shunde, Heshan - A presence that transcends Sheraton itself
📍Location: Next to Dayan Mountain Scenic Area in Heshan, Jiangmen
I didn't have high expectations for this hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised. Although it's branded as Four Points by Sheraton, everything except for the mattresses reaches the Sheraton standard (even surpassing my last experience at the Sheraton in Nansha, Guangzhou 🙄🙄)
------
I checked in on Sunday. The hotel covers a large area, and the overall design and aesthetics are on point. The public areas are luxurious, and even the corridors outside the rooms are spacious and grand. However, there is a strange perfume smell in the lobby 😅 The front desk upgraded me to a mountain view suite and provided welcome fruit. The young lady at the desk spoke softly and was very pleasant. However, when I inquired about the availability of the hot springs, I was told they were closed due to the weather.
------
✅Rooms
The mountain view suite consists of a living room and a master bedroom, each with a balcony overlooking the lush greenery of Dayan Mountain, offering a very serene and fresh atmosphere.
The living room and master bedroom each have a bathroom, with the master bathroom being exceptionally large and well-divided.
The only downside is that the mattresses are really the softest in China, and the elderly at home fought to sleep on the living room sofa, which was more comfortable than the bed 😅
------
✅Lounge
No lounge
------
✅Restaurant
The breakfast variety is moderate, and the taste is above average. The replenishment of food is timely, and the omelette is excellent 😋 The restaurant overlooks the garden, providing a refreshing view, but the downside is the presence of mosquitoes, some of which even land on the food 🙃
------
✅Gym and Pool
The entire third floor is a recreation center, with beautiful wooden stairs but no elevator, so you have to climb 😅
The swimming pool is on the first basement level, with few people and good water quality. The spa and sauna steam room inside the changing room are fantastic, reminiscent of the experience at the Qingyuan Qianli Hotel.
✅Children's Playground
The indoor playground is on the first floor of the recreation center, with a pirate ship ball pit and slides; the outdoor playground is located in the garden, also featuring small slides, swings, and climbing frames, suitable for young children.
The third floor of the recreation center and next to the restaurant also have some paid electric games for children.
✅Garden
The garden covers an area of over 2000 square meters, with a small chapel ⛪, windmill, serpentine bridge, and pond for enjoying the view of fish 🐟 and taking a stroll.
-----
✅Service
Overall, the service is good, but I couldn't find channels like CNN on the hotel TV. I asked the staff, who said they would investigate, but in the end, they didn't explain why.
-----
✅Location and Surrounding Attractions
The hotel is about an 8-minute walk from the west gate of Dayan Mountain, and you can plan for 2-3 hours of sightseeing.
There is also a water town nearby, and dining options are limited. You can drive to Wudong Village within 5 kilometers for beef, or try the local river snail rice noodle chicken.
Spend a day in Gu Lao with the locals during the Gula Holiday
From morning to evening, enjoy a full range of dining experiences from breakfast, lunch, to afternoon tea and coffee.
1. In the morning, you must try the local specialty breakfast at Gu Lao Shuangqiao (Guangzi Authentic Shuangqiao Fish Skin Dumplings) - 4 pieces for 1 yuan, very delicious.
Also, the fish slice congee is quite good; it's mainly very fresh and worth a try. The fish slices are cooked on the spot at the stall opposite.
2. At noon, if you like spicy food, you can try the super large bowl of Qi Qiu Luosifen; it's very spicy (the environment is average, if you mind...). If you don't like spicy food, you can go to (Gu Lao San).
3. In the afternoon, you can visit Liang Zan's former residence. It's not big, but you can stroll around and learn about the history and culture.
4. Then, head next door to (Yong Chun Coffee) for an afternoon tea and a cup of coffee in a comfortable environment.
It's right on Liang Zan's Heritage Trail! Inside, there are snacks like fries, chicken wings, tofu, and children's meals. You can take photos and enjoy the tranquility of the countryside! It's very suitable for family outings! There are children's toys to briefly free up your hands.
5. In the evening, you can go to Chashan to eat chicken.
Recommended (Lvjingyuan), not crowded, no need to wait for a seat!

The hotel's restaurant offers a Southeast Asian themed buffet!
The variety of dishes is so vast it's hard to count them all! Personally, I highly recommend the Flamed Lemongrass Baked South American Shrimp + Singaporean Stir-Fried Crab, which is incredibly delicious and sweet! The Chinese restaurant also has a sour and refreshing Golden Sour Soup to nourish fish maw and precious mushrooms, and there are many spring vegetables like wild greens stir-fried with eggs, offering a huge variety, so you don't have to worry about not finding what you like~
-
【Hotel Afternoon Tea】
I must say, the hotel's afternoon tea not only has great presentation but also tastes very good
The desserts are sweet but not cloying
What really touches my heart is the view by the window
In the afternoon, the sunlight sprinkles on the trees, sitting by the window, looking at the lush greenery, eating desserts, it feels very leisurely
If you like taking photos and checking in, you can also take a look at the hotel's lobby bar and the windmill & wedding chapel. The outdoor lawn here also has a high photo output rate~
