First trip of the Year of the Snake! A European-style dreamland in Guangzhou

For my first trip of the new year, I discovered a hidden gem in Guangzhou - Jiulong Lake Aranya! This trip was truly a pleasant surprise, as it is an underrated and niche travel destination that transported me from reality into a fairytale world. 🗺️ As soon as I arrived, the European-style architecture captivated me. The warm yellow sunlight bathed the colorful houses, and the aroma of coffee wafted from the street-side cafes. Every photo I took was Instagram-worthy, capturing the essence of a European street atmosphere. 📸 The photo spots here are truly "memory killers": 💒 Central Town: Every frame is breathtakingly beautiful, and you can capture vintage-style photos just by standing on the streets. At night, when the lights are on, their reflections on the river create a romantic atmosphere, as if stepping into a romantic movie. ⛪ Old Church: Sunlight filters through the mottled walls, creating a sacred and healing interplay of light and shadow. The New Year decorations on the lawn enhance the atmosphere, making every photo taken here a masterpiece. 🏰 Castle: Filled with medieval romance, the vines and carvings on the castle walls tell ancient stories. Taking photos here feels like capturing scenes from a time-traveling epic. 🎊 The New Year activities are incredibly diverse, from the first to the sixth day of the lunar new year. There are fish lantern parades, fire pot performances, lion dances, and the exhilarating "Old Wolf and Friends Concert," each one igniting passion and excitement! 🌳 Jiulong Lake Ecological Park is also a must-visit spot, with over 20,000 acres of mountains and forests and 4,500 acres of water, making it a natural treasure. Strolling along the lakeside, basking in the winter sun, is truly relaxing. Outdoor movies, RV experiences, and golf courses offer endless entertainment for a whole day. 🍜 When you're tired of exploring, there are plenty of delicious food options nearby. Chengji Dessert Shop's double-skin milk is smooth and melts in your mouth; Lixuan Hot Pot's steaming hot pot instantly dispels the winter chill; BRASSTON PIZZA's pizza with long cheese pulls is incredibly satisfying. If you're looking for a niche and fun place to visit during the New Year, consider coming here. I'm sure you'll fall in love with this place full of romance and surprises. 📍 Address: CTS Aranya Jiulong Lake
