Scorching Summer Fun at Gulong Gorge + Hotel Relaxation—The Perfect Summer Getaway

Who can resist spending summer in Qingyuan immersed in water? Today, I’m sharing my ultimate "water fun + cinematic hotel stay" guide—follow this for a flawless trip! **Activities: The Ultimate Gulong Gorge Adventure—Thrilling but Joyful** **First Stop: QQ Speed (Beginner-Friendly Edition)** Head straight to Gulong Gorge and start with QQ Speed! The high-altitude track whizzes by, and the wind rushing past your ears is incredibly stress-relieving. (Psst: It’s not too fast, but those afraid of heights might want to skip—my bestie clung to the railing screaming the whole time 😂) **Second Stop: Canyon Speedway (A Battle of Speed and Freedom)** An *extra-long* track! Adjust your speed—go slow to enjoy the canyon views or rev it up like an F1 racer. My bestie and I each took a lap, and by the end, our palms were sweaty but our smiles were unstoppable ✨ **Third Stop: Rafting (This Summer’s Most Epic Achievement)** The highlight! Gulong Gorge’s rafting has insane drops, and the splash of cold water cuts right through your sunscreen. Our screams nearly shook the valley, and even soaked to the bone at the finish line, we just wanted to go *ten more times*! **🍽️ Food: Riverside Farmhouse Feast + Steamed Chicken** After all that fun, drive just 1 km to a riverside farmhouse— Sit on bamboo chairs by the water, munching on chicken legs to the sound of flowing streams. The poultry is freshly caught and cooked! (Must-try: Qingyuan chicken + roasted goose—absolutely *divine*~) **🏡 Stay: James Joyce Coffetel (Bringing Cinematic Vibes to Life)** The most anticipated part of the day—checking into a "retro movie heroine’s dream room"! ✅ **Lobby Vibes on Point**: Maroon walls + metal sconces, every corner is Instagram-worthy. ✅ **Room Details to Die For**: A large balcony with wicker chairs for enjoying the night breeze with watermelon; separate bathroom and shower for convenience; vintage lamps + ballet/Eiffel Tower wall art—so romantic you’ll want to snap *100 photos* on the spot! ✅ **Hidden Gem: The First-Floor Café!** Sip a hot latte before bed, the aroma blending with old vinyl tunes—instant relaxation. Special shoutout to the *bed*! Perfect firmness, like being hugged by clouds—you could lounge here *all day*. Breakfast is *next-level*: sticky rice chicken buns bursting with juice, freshly baked cakes you’ll lick the plate for, and stir-fried noodles so fragrant the aroma fills half the street! **📌 Verdict: Qingyuan Summer Must-Do!** Gulong Gorge’s splashes + James Joyce’s coffee aroma— Highly recommend for a trip that’s wild, delicious, and cozy. 📍 **Address**: James Joyce Coffetel (Qingyuan California Garden Branch) (Just *25 minutes* from Gulong Gorge!)
