Qingyuan Hidden Gem! A Slow-Time Hotel in the Tea Field Hot Springs, A Stay to Remember for Three Years

Finally found a secret place in the Pearl River Delta where time slows down! This hot spring hotel, nestled between the vast tea fields and Xianhu Lake in Yingde, is free from the hustle of trendy check-in spots, offering only the healing daily life of tea fragrance, spring mist, and birdsong~ Stayed for three days and two nights, soaking all the city's restlessness into the hot spring pools. Here’s a real experience code for those who want to steal a moment of leisure👇 🏡 A Breathable Tea Field Boutique Hotel, Even the Window View is a Dynamic Ink Painting Chose the "Tea Field View Room" as the healing starting point. The moment the window opened, I was healed—the thousand-acre tea fields spread along the mountain slopes, morning mist drifting like a veil over the tea rows, occasionally a tea picker carrying a bamboo basket passing by, becoming a living scene in a painting~ The room is decorated mainly with bamboo, rattan, and natural wood. On the tea table sits a vase with freshly picked tea buds, and the tea seed shampoo set in the bathroom exudes a natural fragrance. The biggest surprise is a copy of "The Classic of Tea" placed by the bedside; flipping through a few pages before sleep, even the dreams carry the scent of tea🌙 The butler said the drinking water in the room is boiled with hot spring water. Brewing a cup of Yinghong No. 9 tea and watching the sunlight dance through the window lattice in the tea soup—this is what slow time feels like~ ♨️ A Private Hot Spring Secret Hidden in the Bamboo Forest, Listen to Tea Farmers Singing Mountain Songs While Soaking The hotel’s hot spring area hides the "escape code"! More than 20 pools built along the mountain, surrounded by bamboo forests and camellias. The best time to soak is at 7 a.m., when the mist hasn’t cleared yet, soaking in the "Tea Charm Hot Spring Pool," where the bottom is covered with dried tea stems. The hot spring water mixed with the aroma of roasted tea makes every pore feel comfortable~ Occasionally, you can hear tea-picking mountain songs from the neighboring tea fields, the original melody drifting into the pool, instantly transporting you to the countryside🎵 Also, be sure to try the "Suspended Hot Spring Boardwalk," a wooden walkway built through the bamboo forest. Every corner hides a different pool, like playing a treasure hunt game~ 🍵 A Taste Journey from Tea Field to Dining Table, Even the Rice Has Tea Fragrance Eating here becomes a daily anticipation! Breakfast must-try is the "Tea Field Braised Rice Roll," where tea juice is mixed into the rice batter, steamed to a light tea aroma, paired with hot spring water-boiled native chicken eggs, full of homely flavor; for lunch, try the signature "Tea Fragrant Qingyuan Chicken," stir-fried with tea oil and coated with Yinghong No. 9 tea powder, crispy outside and tender inside~ The most stunning is the "Tea Field Dinner," where the butler sets up a long table in the old tea house and prepares a creative meal with freshly picked ingredients from the tea fields: tea-smoked ribs, red tea jelly stuffed with peach gum, even the rice is cooked with tea buds and mountain spring water, the taste is all the fresh sweetness of the countryside🥢 🌿 Healing Activities Without Rushing, Even Daydreaming is an Art ✅ Tea Field Calligraphy: In the century-old tea house, copy "The Classic of Tea" with ink ground from tea juice. The sound of the brush on rice paper is more soothing than white noise; ✅ Lakeside Fishing: The hotel provides fishing gear for free. Sit by Xianhu Lake to fish for wild crucian carp. The fish you catch can be cooked fresh by the restaurant, unbelievably fresh; ✅ Tea Oil Handcraft: Learn to make tea oil soap with the grandma, crushing tea seeds, boiling the oil, and the sense of achievement when unmolding is more satisfying than buying luxury goods~ 📌 Must-See Tips for Slow Life Players (Tested and Reliable) ✅ Recommended to stay Monday to Thursday, when prices are lower and fewer people, so you can enjoy the entire tea field alone; ✅ Bring an old book, the lakeside hammock and tea field pavilion are perfect reading spots; ✅ Join the hotel’s "One-Day Tea Farmer Experience" (reservation required), go up the mountain to pick and roast tea, and take home your own tea canister; ✅ Before leaving, buy a jar of the hotel’s homemade tea honey, drink it with water or spread on bread, and bring the tea fragrance home~ The biggest insight from this stay is: a high-end vacation isn’t about how many attractions you check in at, but about regaining the ability to perceive beauty in nature. Listening to tea field dew drops in the early morning, watching hot spring steam drift over bamboo tips in the afternoon, falling asleep to insect chirps at night—time itself slows down🌿 If you want to press the slow-motion button on life, come here for a few days and let the tea fragrance and spring mist turn your days into poetry~ Qingyuan Yingde Jiqingli Xianhu Hot Spring Resort Hotel
