Shenzhen Outskirts | A Relaxing Resort Hidden in the Valley

I discovered a real gem of a resort town near Shenzhen. After spending so long in the city, I really appreciate this natural environment. March is the town's music therapy season, with different activities every week, including ecstatic dance, music festivals, bonfires and fireworks, meditation, and pet week. It's a great place for a spring outing or a family trip! 📍Address: Chunmuyuan Town 🚗From Shenzhen: Approx. 2h by car 🅿Free parking for guests staying in the town 🎯Must-try activities ✅Green Apple Building: This iconic building on the town's lawn was designed by Tadao Ando. It's a great spot for taking photos, every shot looks like a masterpiece. ✅Water activities: Kayaking and boat trips are a must. Gently paddle on the lake, enjoy the breeze, and relax. ✅Longgu Paradise: Both adults and children can have fun here. Swings, trampolines, and slides let you embrace your inner child. ✅Bonfire and fireworks: The bonfire dance and fireworks show in the evening create an amazing atmosphere! Everyone gathers around the bonfire, singing and dancing, and then enjoys the dazzling fireworks together. It's pure bliss. ✅Hot springs: Relax and unwind in the hot springs under the palm trees. The sun shines down, the water sparkles, and the atmosphere is tranquil and comfortable. 🛏 Accommodation I stayed at the Blue Grape Hotel this time. It has three rooms, perfect for three families or a group of friends. The stay includes tickets to Longgu Paradise and the hot springs, as well as breakfast. I booked a package that included breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which was excellent value for money. 🍱 Food There are plenty of dining options in the town, including Thai, Western, Japanese, and Chinese restaurants, as well as the First Canteen and the Late-Night Canteen. There's a lot of variety, and the prices are quite reasonable. The hotel breakfast is a buffet with a wide selection.
