If there's anything unforgettable about Dian Lake, I think it's probably only the Huazhu Yunshangxuan Homestay besides the lively and adorable seagulls. Located in the central area of Haigeng Dam, it has a very good geographical position, only a few minutes away from the subway station. Morgan Road Food Plaza is nearby, and there's also a golf club next door, with very complete facilities. When I saw it from a distance, I knew that the designer must have put a lot of thought into it. Whether it's the design of the homestay or the color scheme and decoration of the rooms, you can tell that the owner has put a lot of effort into it. Moreover, the owner is very enthusiastic. He will warmly introduce us to the local specialties, the best times to watch the seagulls, and so on. The owner's dog even keeps to a work schedule, which is especially adorable. Our reserved room came with a small terrace, which was adorned with flowers and plants, making one feel very good just by looking at it. In your spare time, you can gaze into the distance from the terrace, experience the life of the Dian River, or stay on the large balcony below for a while, sitting among the bouquets, feeling all the more beautiful.
