🏝Woken at dawn by fish tails splashing, I pushed open the window and gasped—moonlight shattered the lake into silver shards, islands floating like matcha mochi on glass! Dipping my hand in, I could see my fingerprints clearly. This isn’t a lake; it’s Guangdong with a beauty filter on! 🏝Paddling a transparent kayak to the shallow bay of "Longfeng Island," the water was so clear it felt like floating mid-air! Peering down, I stumbled upon submerged Hakka tulou ruins, rainbow fish darting around mossy brick walls. Touching the door knocker sent shivers down my spine. 🏝The boatman steered into a hidden nook of "Shuiyue Bay," where an uncle grilled freshly netted fish! Crispy-scaled crucian carp stuffed with perilla chili paste, paired with steaming Wanlv Lake milk tea (mountain springwater + green tea + wild honey)—each bite sent waves of umami crashing through my skull. 🏝Perk of staying at the "Lakeside Homestay": At 9 PM, lantern in hand, follow the owner into a limestone cave where bioluminescent "blue tear shrimp" dart like disco stars among stalactites. 🏝"Treehouse on the Lake": At midnight, press against the glass floor to watch mandarin fish chasing shrimp like underwater fireworks. 🏝Lounging at sunset dock, munching grilled fish as egrets dive for starlight reflections—suddenly I understood why the Hakka call this the "Lake of Dreams." This 360° emerald screensaver cured my decade-long screen addiction! 🚥【Transport Guide】 ⭐️High-speed rail: From Heyuan East Station, sprint to the bus stop for the mint-green Wanlv Lake shuttle (ends at visitor center). Island hopping requires boat transfers. ⭐️Drive: Navigate to "Wanlv Lake Mirror Flower Parking Lot."

Encounter a poetic dwelling at the B&B with the highest negative oxygen ion content in Heyuan #LeisureVacationParadise #MountainRetreatB&B #HiddenGemB&B #UrbanEscapeToScenicSpot #PearBlossomLodge #WanlvLake #ShenzhenWeekendGetaway This holiday, come play at Wanlv Lake in Heyuan, exploring the eastern route around Xingang and Shuangtian. From my personal experience, this area compared to the western route's Xinlaohuilong and Xichang, has clearer water, more beautiful mountains, and fewer crowds. What's even more remarkable, is the rich cultural and historical resources here, from the ancient Yue-Gan Trail and Zhao Tuo's ancient city to red culture stories like the Dinosaur Ancient Bridge, and ethnic minority features like Shuangtian Village. But today I want to highlight Pear Blossom Lodge where I stayed, though not directly lakeside at Wanlv Lake, as the saying goes: "The bright moon and gentle breeze are priceless; nearby water and distant mountains all hold sentiment." On this holiday night, it gave me a poetic mountain retreat experience. The amenities here are comprehensive, with a large parking lot, EV charging stations, ancient-style photo shoots, swings, ping pong, KTV, seasonal fruit picking (bayberries, pears, chestnuts, papayas, peaches, etc.), a natural mountain spring pool, small bamboo rafts, a farmhouse restaurant, tea, coffee, craft beer, and even artworks by master Huang Jiannan to admire. The lodge's courtyard offers scenic views at every turn, and the staff's service makes you feel right at home. Though it's a mountain property, there's no dampness or mold, not even mosquitoes in ground-floor rooms - honestly quite rare. Toiletries are JW Marriott standard, linens are daily sterilized at five-star hotels in downtown Heyuan. After chatting with owner Mr. Huang, I learned he's president of Heyuan's B&B Association, with over 20 years of five-star hotel management experience - which explains everything. Only professionalism creates excellence👍 Reportedly, this is one of two places in Heyuan with the highest negative oxygen ion content. Nighttime cricket and frog songs outside become natural lullabies, and before I knew it, I enjoyed holiday sleep straight through till morning. Strolling through the orchard at dawn, crystal pears were forming on branches, chestnuts just beginning to sprout, soon to be joined by Thai green-skinned jade-hearted pomelos. I've already planned a return for deeper exploration, and highly recommend you come experience it too.

Wanlu Lake in Heyuan: An ecological gem and poetic dwelling place on the Tropic of Cancer In the ecological landscape of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Heyuan Wanlv Lake shines like a jade gem embedded in the "desert belt" of the Tropic of Cancer. With its vast water area of 370 square kilometers and water storage capacity of 13.9 billion cubic meters, it nourishes the source of life for nearly 50 million people. Named for its year-round greenery, this largest lake in South China is not only a national 5A-level tourist attraction but also a United Nations-certified "China Good Water" source. Its ecological value and cultural charm interweave to create a flowing landscape painting of mountains and waters. Natural Wonders: An Ecological Gene Bank of Ink Painting Landscapes The ecological secrets of Wanlu Lake are hidden in every drop of its clear waters. As the largest eco-tourism attraction in South China, its water quality consistently maintains the National Class I Surface Water standard, with visibility reaching over 4 meters. Aquatic plants sway like jade forests on the lake bottom, while rare species such as freshwater jellyfish and Chinese merganser thrive and reproduce here. More than 360 islands are scattered across the lake, creating a magical landscape of "islands within lakes and lakes within islands": the fiery maple forests of Longfeng Island, the secret floral paradise of Mirror Flower Garden, and the wetland education center at Water Moon Bay perfectly blend natural education with ecological tourism. The seasons here compose a symphony of colors—in spring, azaleas paint the mountain ridges red; in summer, vast emerald waters reflect the blue sky; in autumn, maple forests display vibrant hues; and in winter, light mist gently shrouds the lake, creating the visual spectacle of "one lake, nine colors." With an average annual temperature of 19°C-23°C and negative ion concentration reaching 100,000 per cubic centimeter, the lake area is known as "South China's natural oxygen bar," becoming an ideal "lung-cleansing sanctuary" for city dwellers escaping the hustle and bustle. Cultural Poetry: A Dialogue Between Hakka Culture and Ecological Civilization Wanglü Lake is not only a gift of nature, but also a living museum of Hakka culture.

The Hakka Culture Museum by the lake tells the story of the "ancient Hakka settlement" through over 5,000 artifacts—from the architectural wisdom of Hakka walled houses to the culinary philosophy behind lei cha (pounded tea) and fermented tofu, from folk rituals like childbirth lanterns and imperial examination flags to the melodious tunes of Hakka mountain songs. Each exhibit bears witness to the Hakka people's spirit of "revering culture, valuing education, and passing down farming and scholarly traditions." Visitors can experience making lei cha and singing Hakka mountain songs in duets, immersing themselves in the cultural texture of a city that is "half mountain scenery, half lake views." Three. Strategy Guide: N Ways to Unlock the Beauty of Lakes and Mountains 1. Classic Route · In-depth Cruise Recommend Route 1 (Longfeng Island + Mirror Flower Fate) or Route 2 (Water Moon Bay + Longfeng Island), cruise across "South China's Premier Lake" and experience the feeling of "boats sailing on the lake, people traveling through a painting." The 360° lakeside trail on Longfeng Island is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with bamboo groves, ancient trees, and viewing platforms creating natural frames for photos. The fine sandy beach and palm trees at Mirror Flower Fate make you feel like you're in "Northern Guangdong's Little Sanya." At sunset, the golden lake surface creates stunning, therapeutic photos with minimal effort. 2. Secret Exploration · Unique Experiences Located just a 15-minute drive from the main scenic area, Sujiawai Ancient Village is a cluster of Hakka walled houses with gray brick walls and dark tile roofs. The aroma of glutinous rice wine wafts from the brewery by the lotus pond, while the rhythmic sounds of wooden pestles striking ceramic bowls echo through the tea house. Visitors can participate in the Hakka rice wine sealing ceremony or hand-grind a bowl of healthy lei cha (pounded tea), experiencing the poetic charm of a "slow-paced lifestyle." 3. A Culinary Journey: Feast of Lake Delicacies The "three-way fish" dish made from Wanlu Lake bighead carp is a must-try delicacy—steamed fish head locks in the fresh sweetness, baked fish belly exudes a fragrant aroma, and the fried and braised fish bones are crispy and flavorful. Paired with the tender Hakka stuffed tofu and rich rice wine chicken, you can feast at the riverside seafood restaurants near the scenic area for just 60 yuan per person. For a wilderness experience, head to Wanlu Valley Resort where you can camp under the stars, listen to frogs and crickets, and fall asleep to the lake breeze. Practical Tips: A Thoughtful Guide for Worry-free Travel • Transportation: Navigate to "Wanlu Lake Scenic Area-Visitor Center" when driving. The parking lot can accommodate over 1,000 vehicles. If taking high-speed rail, get off at Heyuan East Station and take a taxi for about 40 minutes to reach the destination. • Admission: Combined ticket 175 yuan/person (includes boat ticket), recommend booking online in advance; boat departures are on a fixed schedule, with service ending after 14:30, so plan your time accordingly. • Accommodation: Mercure Wiltun Hotel, Huixiang Xunmei Guesthouse, and others offer lake view rooms. Some guesthouses also provide Hakka cuisine cooking classes by reservation. • Equipment: Prepare sunscreen, sun hat, comfortable sports shoes, as the Longfeng Island trail requires a 1-hour walk; bring your own snacks, as there are limited dining options on the island. Five. Ecological Protection: A Green Experiment in Sustainable Development The charm of Wanlu Lake stems from the balanced wisdom of ecological protection and tourism development. As the "water tower" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it supplies 11 billion cubic meters of quality drinking water to cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen each year, maintaining a 100% water quality compliance rate for many consecutive years. The scenic area uses a smart monitoring system to track water quality in real time and has launched the "Leave No Trace" environmental initiative. Visitors can participate in beach cleanup activities to help protect this "Green Gem of South China." In recent years, Wanlu Lake has leveraged its "water economy" to drive industrial upgrading, attracting beverage companies like China Resources C'estbon to establish operations there, building an industrial cluster worth tens of billions. From eco-tourism to green industry, from cultural heritage to rural revitalization, Wanlu Lake is writing a vivid story of how "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." Conclusion At Wanlu Lake, every breath is a gift from nature, and every pause is a dialogue with the mountains and waters. This place is not only a paradise for summer retreat and wellness, but also a utopia for the soul. When dawn breaks, the vast emerald waters are bathed in golden light; when the sun sets, the lake surface shatters into a sky full of stars, and you will understand—what we call "paradise on earth" is simply the deep embrace between nature and culture. Pack your bags and come to Wanlu Lake for a thousand-year rendezvous with the green mountains and clear waters!

There were not enough staff to eat at the buffet, no one seated and no one showed me, but the surrounding environment was beautiful. There is no lifeguard in the pool that is not open for hot springs in the morning.

As I drove into the mountains of Dongyuan, the April breeze carried the fresh scent of tea through the car window. When warm yellow lights suddenly peeked through the lush canopy, Yeyuan Hot Spring Resort appeared with a playful game of hide-and-seek charm, instantly making its way onto my spring healing list - proving that a true secluded paradise never needs grand fanfare. 🏡 "Breathing Houses" Hidden Among Terraced Flower Fields Climbing up the bluestone path, the curved walls of Hakka houses blend seamlessly with modern design. My "Bamboo Hideaway" terrace room perches like a small box on the hillside, opening to terraced tea gardens stretching to the horizon. The private hot spring pool by the floor-to-ceiling windows is magical - soaking at dusk while watching mist rise from the tea fields makes me feel like an immortal in a Chinese ink painting. ✨Tips: Families should try the "Kids Theme Rooms" with adorable rocking horses, tents, and children's toiletry kits. Couples will love the "Stargazing Bath House" where the glass ceiling brings the Milky Way within reach. ♨️ 18 Hot Spring Pools Offer "Lucky Dip" Joy Who says hot springs are just for soaking? Yeyuan's springs are like nature's spilled paint palette: • "Hakka Rice Wine Pool" with subtle fermented rice fragrance leaves skin silky smooth (secretly feels like bathing in beauty soup) • "Mugwort Mint Pool" hidden in bamboo groves, where mint's coolness bursts through the steam, dispelling summer heat • Best of all is the "Mountaintop Infinity Pool" - soak in early morning mist while distant windmill mountains seem to spin in the clouds, every photo looks magazine-worthy. 💡Fun fact: The spring water is weak alkaline soda water from 1,300m underground - no need to shower after soaking and skin won't feel sticky. Perfect for lazy folks! 🍽️ Savor Authentic Hakka Flavors At the hotel's "Yeyuan Restaurant," I discovered countless ways to enjoy Hakka cuisine: ✅ Freshly ground tofu pudding with ginger brown sugar syrup, silky enough to tremble on your tongue ✅ Stuffed tofu, stuffed bitter gourd and other "stuffed delicacies" with surprising water chestnut crunch in the meat filling ✅ Must try the "Hakka Stuffed Tofu Hotpot" - tofu soaks up the broth and bursts with juice; three bowls of soup aren't enough! 🌾Breakfast features "field-to-table" produce - freshly picked strawberries and cherry tomatoes so sweet they make you squint, like tasting spring itself. 🌿 Beyond Hot Springs! 24 Hours of Romance in the Forest • Morning: Follow local grandmas to pick spring tea and hand-fry your own "pre-Qingming tea" • Afternoon: Read in the hillside library, watching sunlight dance through vines onto book pages • Evening: Take a lantern-lit bamboo forest stroll, encountering foraging squirrels and homing birds • Night: Lie on the terrace listening to insects and frogs, counting firefly trails until dreams turn sweet 👨👩👧👦 Families shouldn't miss the "Hakka Culture Experience" - learn to make rice cakes and clay crafts, letting kids touch tradition through play. 📍 Practical Information: 🚗 2.5-hour drive from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, free parking available; 40-minute taxi from Heyuan Railway Station ⚠️ Don't forget sunscreen! UV rays are gentle but present in the forest. Wear a straw hat for afternoon soaking~ Before leaving, I detoured to the hilltop behind the hotel to watch morning mist rising from layered terraces like a soft cloud blanket over the earth. I finally understood Yeyuan's magic - it's not about showy luxury, but healing hidden in every falling petal, every wisp of hot spring steam, every warm greeting from staff. This spring, if you want to escape your "digital chains," come be a "mountain lazy person" for a few days, letting your body and soul slowly rediscover the gentleness stolen by city life through the whispers of plants and springs.

When we visited Heyuan 🌸 during cherry blossom season, we were amazed by the breathtaking pink landscapes ✨ We explored Wanlü Lake Cherry Blossom Island, and it felt like stepping into a fairytale 🙌 Thousands of cherry trees 🌳 bloom along the water, creating a stunning reflection. The best photo spot is near the lake where you can capture the blossoms with the serene water in the background. A boat 🛶 ride around the island also offers incredible views from different angles. 📍Heyuan, Guangdong, China One of our favorite places was Yeqiu Valley, where cherry trees bloom along winding trails. The valley is perfect for taking panoramic shots of rolling hills covered in pink blossoms 🌸 We recommend walking up to the higher viewpoints for a breathtaking aerial view of the entire valley in full bloom 💕 📍Dongyuan County, Heyuan, Guangdong, China We also visited Yeyuan Hot Spring Cherry Blossom Garden 🌱 a unique spot where you can enjoy both cherry blossoms and natural hot springs 🛁 The contrast between the pink blossoms and the misty pools creates a magical atmosphere for photography 📸 We recommend coming in the late afternoon when the soft sunlight enhances the colors of the blossoms ✨ For a peaceful experience away from the crowds, we explored Guishan Cherry Blossom 🌸 Park. The park is surrounded by mountains ⛰️ providing a stunning natural backdrop for photos. We recommend visiting at sunrise when the mist adds an ethereal touch to the scenery. 📍Dongyuan County, Heyuan, Guangdong, China #cherryblossom25 #Vacation #travel

As the morning light spread across the Dongjiang River, I stepped on the bluestone path and knocked on the door of Sujiawei. Seven hundred years have brewed here like a jar of plum wine, even the air is steeped in a sweet, ancient charm. Five ancient banyan trees over a thousand years old greet visitors at the entrance to the village. The thickest one, the "Wuxian Banyan," requires six people to embrace it fully. Red silk ribbons are tied to its branches, which, as an old woman told me, were planted when the Su ancestors moved here. Dewdrops slide down the banyan's aerial roots, wetting the stone mill below. Last night, Hakka girls were grinding tofu here, and the scent of bean dregs mingled with the river breeze, creating the freshest wake-up call. Walking along the Jiushe River, the creaking of water wheels grows louder. Seventy-two-year-old Uncle Su squats by the river washing clothes, a blue shirt floating in his wooden basin. "This water comes down from Dongshan Mountain," he says, "It's the sweetest for making tea." He points to the Yongsi Hall on the opposite bank, where the镬er-shaped gable walls of the Ming Dynasty mansion pierce the morning mist. For five hundred years, the bronze bells on the eaves have been singing Hakka nursery rhymes. I ascend the moss-covered steps into the ancestral hall. The square pond in the courtyard reflects the sky, and I imagine the Su descendants studying here, the scent of ink drifting down the stream towards the Dongjiang River. In the afternoon, I wander into the Zisu Garden, just as the flowers are in full bloom. Purple flower spikes nod in the wind, and I almost see Su Dongpo hoeing the soil. Eight hundred years ago, he was demoted to Lingnan, never imagining his descendants would cultivate such poetic beauty on the banks of the Dongjiang Bay. Caigu, the garden keeper, teaches me to identify nine varieties of purple perilla. "Young leaves for scrambled eggs, old roots for wine," she says, "Su Dongpo's recipe." Her blue apron is filled with freshly picked herbs, her clothes fragrant with the scent of earth. As dusk paints the riverbank, horse lanterns light up the ancient opera stage. Grandmothers bring out their homemade rice wine, goji berries floating in the amber liquid. "Moonlight, scholar, riding a white horse, crossing the bridge," the mountain songs drift through the bamboo groves, and the girls washing clothes on the opposite bank pick up the next verse. I hum along, off-key, causing laughter to erupt. A grandmother presses a piece of mugwort rice cake into my hand, its warm sweetness melting on my tongue, a taste of my own grandmother's cooking. The night before I leave, I stay in the century-old Weilong House, "Gengdu Chuanjia." The river breeze filters through the wooden lattice windows, and the bronze bells on the eaves chime. I seem to hear the morning reading from the ancestral hall, see Su Dongpo's descendants drying grain in the courtyard, river gulls skimming over the horse-head walls, weaving a thousand years into a flowing poem. As the first rays of dawn once again spread across the Dongjiang River, Sujiawei awakens to the sound of oars. I tuck the uneaten half of my lei cha cake into my pocket, suddenly understanding: the Hakka people's nostalgia resides in the roots of the ancient banyan trees, in the courtyards of the Weilong houses, in every mouthful of smoky lei cha. This bay, after all, has brewed Su Dongpo's poetry into a vibrant, fragrant life.

It's the weekend again, and my friends from Hong Kong came up north to visit me. The weather is perfect for a hot spring soak ♨️ My retired aunt had previously joined a group tour with her friends to Ye Yuan Hot Spring Resort in Heyuan and told me many times how great it was.

The brand-new bedding is a plus, I love it~ Ye Yuan Hot Spring Resort not only attracts tourists with its hot spring resources but also stands out with its unique Hakka culture.
