Although Yuhu Lake is simple and does not have many artificial facilities, it is simple enough. There are not many people visiting the lake on weekdays, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly.
During the holidays, the tree near the pier slope bloomed with red flowers, which was quite festive. It was windy and rainy that day, but Yuhu Lake on a rainy day is more romantic than on a sunny day. When the boat was about to dock, the sun shone through the clouds onto the lake, as peaceful as the light of God.

We had to go early. We unexpectedly arrived at Xishan during peak season. I was stunned. Fortunately, the temperature in Kunming was comfortable. If it were in Guangdong, I would have fainted from the heat. The road to Longmen Grottoes was too crowded, but the scenery healed everything. Overlooking Dianchi Lake, it was really beautiful. The oxygen ions in Xishan were so strong.

This hotel is perfect for a chill vacation. The ocean view is unbeatable and definitely worth returning to.
The service is excellent, and the hotel feels like a small estate with great privacy. This is why I chose it. If I had to suggest something, I'd appreciate the addition of a high-definition projector with a retractable motorized screen. Also, I'd like to upgrade the hairdryer to a Dyson. Otherwise, it's practically perfect.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!
