Four Xinyi guys drove to Gaozhou Reservoir for the first time. They used Amap to search directly for Gaozhou Reservoir. The car drove further and further away. Fortunately, they asked the villagers and found that they had gone to the wrong place. It turned out that Amap had to search for Yuhu Scenic Area. The reservoir is much larger than that in Xinyi. The scenery is still good, but it rained heavily after lunch. And the river cruise is expensive.

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!
