[2025 Yingde Stay] Travel Guide for Yingde Chocolate Kingdom Hotel (Updated Apr)

Yingde Aoyuan Hilton Yilin Resort~ Arrived after 9 PM, and it was too late for hot springs, but the front desk extended our room until 2:30 PM the next day and welcomed us with warm chocolate cookies. The room environment is quite good, with a balcony, no heating, went to bed after a bath at night. Breakfast time the next day is from 8 AM to 10 AM, not many varieties for breakfast. The hot springs open at 1 PM, with a total of 17 pools, not too crowded, overall a good feeling~

A 2-day, 2-night trip away from the crowds Self-drive from Shenzhen to Yingde, Guangdong for a leisurely trip. DAY1: Drive from Shenzhen after work → Jiulong River Head Bixiang Inn DAY2: Fenglin Xiaozhen → Dongtian Xianjing → Jiuchongtian Town → Aoyuan Hilton Yilin Hotel DAY3: Chocolate Kingdom Resort → Hongqi Tea Factory → Shenzhen Jiulong River Head Bixiang Inn P2, P3 After checking out the online reviews of nearby hotels and B&Bs, we chose this inn with a mountain view for over 200 a night. The hygiene and environment are really good, there are no mosquitoes on the mountain, and at night you can sit on the terrace and see the stars, in the morning you can hear the birds chirping. Next door is the Houtou Village Committee, super safe, but it's 3 kilometers from the village to the town, so you have to drive everywhere Where to go Bought the Guangdong Tourism Annual Pass, which includes many scenic spots and free attractions 1. Fenglin Xiaozhen P4 It's just a small park with lots of flowers and plants, rapeseed flowers, and a small lake with a few black swans (not a must-visit attraction, you can see similar scenery at nearby B&Bs and on the road, not recommended if you have to pay for a ticket ) 2. Dongtian Xianjing P5 The environment is cool and the air is good, it's nice to stroll around. We bought a one-way boat trip for 20 yuan per person, there were really few people traveling off-peak, just the two of us on a boat (chartered), with a guide accompanying us (super cost-effective, you can only know the features of the attractions with a guide, it's recommended to take the boat first, then walk out) 3. Jiuchongtian P6 We didn't plan to come here originally, but in the end, we didn't want to leave. The weather was good, and right at the entrance, there was a shouting fountain, where a water column meters high can produce a 🌈. Walking down to the forest below, there are a few hammocks, lying on them and looking at the forest, listening to the birds is super comfortable. The scenic area has rafting and caves (open in May for summer), the caves are quite large, inside are various shapes of quartz and stalactites (that day, besides us, there was no one else in the cave, quite eerie ) 4. Chocolate Kingdom Resort P7 The hotel is located in the Chocolate Kingdom Resort. We soaked in the karst hot springs at night (not recommended to buy separately, better to soak in the hotel bathtub). The hotel is very comfortable, after waking up in the morning, we strolled around the resort, didn't go to the chocolate park, just walked around the surrounding commercial street (not many shops open, sparsely populated), suitable for taking photos, you can wear a princess dress for photos 5. Hongqi Tea Factory P8 An old tea factory built in the fifties, renovated, no entrance fee, you can visit the tea-making process, drink milk tea, eat tea-flavored ice cream cones, sit and blow the breeze, drink milk tea made with Yingde black tea 6. Tea Fields P9 On the way to Yinghong Town, there are tea fields, and near the Hongqi Tea Factory, there are also patches of tea fields, so there is no need to go to a special tea garden As for food, we ate farm dishes, tofu, tofu pudding, which were especially delicious

The first impression is everything! In the past, a small service from a large hotel made me their regular member. This is the first time I chose to stay at Yingde Aoyuan Hilton. Because of the first impression, I started to compare unconsciously from the moment I stepped into the hotel. However, the brand-new facilities, the fresh castle garden view, and the considerate service gave me a refreshing feeling. When we checked in, the beautiful front desk lady upgraded us to a lake view room. We could watch the fireworks directly at night. The kids were so happy. Also, the chocolate cookies they gave us when we checked in were very unique and really delicious. I will definitely choose Yingde Aoyuan Hilton next time. Here's a small suggestion, since it's positioned as a family hotel, it would be better if the toiletries were arranged like those in the "Big Cat" hotel.

The overall building of the hotel is more European in appearance, like a castle. It has a holiday style and is very photogenic. The hotel stairs are very easy to take pictures. The service was great. Whether it was the guy who helped with the luggage or the lady who checked in at the front desk, they were all very polite and gentle. The cookies were very ritualistic and most importantly, they were delicious. We just happened to be given a location facing the center of the lake with a great view. It is said that there is a fireworks display every Saturday night at about nine o'clock.
