What was supposed to be a walk in the hotel turned into a jungle hike

Originally, I just wanted to find a nearby place to relax and recharge, but it turned out to be 'luxurious urban camping' while staying at the hotel. This is Dongjiao Hotel, which is also a large park. Entering the hotel feels like traveling from the bustling city to an isolated forest and mountain wilderness. Here, there is endless greenery, gentle ripples in the morning breeze, and swans swimming in the lake. On summer mornings, the chirping of cicadas and birds is incessant. You can casually occupy a piece of lawn, with lush greenery and budding lotuses. Running freely on the lawn, with sunlight brushing through the willow leaves, leaving dappled spots, do you also feel that life becomes relaxed and joyful? ✅ Hotel Highlights: ⭕️ The hotel covers about 1000 acres, with a greening rate of 70%. I calculated that it's roughly the size of 80 standard football fields 😓; ⭕️ There is a peacock garden not far from the east building, and you can often see white and black swans on the East Lake; ⭕️ Next to the peacock garden, there is a simple children's playground where you can take your kids to burn off some energy; ⭕️ Highly recommend going to the fitness center to sweat it out. Besides the spacious gym, there is also a standard competition swimming pool; ⭕️ The stunning venue also has 6 indoor tennis courts, 3 outdoor tennis courts, and 3 indoor badminton courts 😓 so luxurious; ⭕️ Special praise for the hotel's service, especially the concierge and front desk, everyone is very enthusiastic, and the service explanations are very detailed 👍; ⭕️ The overall decoration of the hotel leans towards an old money style, feeling very luxurious but not old-fashioned. I stayed in a deluxe room, and the room was very large; ⭕️ The buffet restaurant is on the 5th floor of the guest room building. The blue sky and white clouds outside the glass window will make you feel that every moment is so vivid and full; ⭕️ In the afternoon, Qilin Pavilion offers afternoon tea sets. Choosing to spend a small vacation at Dongjiao Hotel on weekends is very pleasant for eating, drinking, and playing; ✅ Check-in Spots: ⭕️ The lush green lawn has a large osmanthus forest, definitely worth checking in during the osmanthus season; ⭕️ The mirror-like tranquil lake surface, with swans swimming and creating ripples, the little ones are not afraid of people and you can take close-up photos; ⭕️ The lotus pond next to the east building has put on its summer attire, each photo taken is stunning, recommended to shoot in the morning as the petals close in the afternoon; ⭕️ Walking south from the conference hall is a large bamboo forest, or rather, a sea of bamboo; ⭕️ Turning left at the main entrance and walking clockwise, there is a ginkgo forest, which will surely be beautiful at the end of November; ⭕️ Near the north gate, there are metasequoia and red maple forests, which will look beautiful reflected on the water during the viewing season; ⭕️ There are many other beautiful and less crowded places for taking photos: wooden boardwalks, metasequoia forests, and many pink muhly grass and reeds; ⚠️ Tips: ⭕️ Besides lotus, metasequoia, maple, ginkgo, and bamboo forests, the hotel also has cherry blossoms and magnolias. If you want to see all the hotel scenery, you really have to come all year round; ⭕️ There are shuttle buses in the hotel. In areas such as restaurants and guest rooms, you can ask the staff to call a car for sightseeing; ⭕️ Pay attention to mosquito protection when traveling in summer, which is unavoidable in resort hotels due to the excellent greenery;
