Guest User: The room was cozy, and Catherine at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is excellent and very convenient. The only thing is that the power outlets in the room need to be checked and improved. Overall, it's quite good, and I would stay here again.

Guest User: I usually choose Vienna when staying in hotels, so I have stayed in many places in Vienna. The first thing about this one in Luhe County is that there is no free parking lot. You have to find a place to park on the roadside. If you are not lucky, keep looking. Secondly, the interior decoration is inferior to other Viennas, at least it is the worst among all the Viennas I have stayed in. Third, the price during the Spring Festival is the same as Vienna in downtown Shanwei, but the facilities and environment are not as good as those in the city center. Fourth, due to property reasons, the windows were closed (the outside of the windows were blocked by glass and isolated from the outside), but the price was still the same as with windows. I got there late due to traffic jams, and I was given a room with blocked windows. If I needed a window, there was only space. Much smaller room. If you check in early, you can get a room with a large airy space. So check-in must be early.

⛰️These are the landscapes I visited within Guangdong Province from January to July 2026. I feel that while Guangdong is not lacking in cultural architecture, its natural scenery is not well-known enough. So, I've compiled the beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas I've traveled to across the province over the past six months to show friends from outside the region what Guangdong has to offer. 📸Photo details: 1️⃣Shenzhen · Enshang Wetland Park 2️⃣Chaozhou · Daoyun Building 3️⃣Meizhou · Guizhu Village 4️⃣Shanwei · Baishuizhai Waterfall 5️⃣Heyuan · Wanlv Lake 6️⃣Heyuan · Guishan Stone Building 7️⃣Qingyuan · Meiziping 8️⃣Huizhou · Dananshan 9️⃣Shaoguan · Luokeng Grassland 🔟Shaoguan · Luokeng Great Cave 1️⃣1️⃣Shaoguan · Jinjiyan 1️⃣2️⃣Shantou · Biaojiao Lighthouse 1️⃣3️⃣Jieyang · Yiyutou 1️⃣4️⃣Meizhou · Shuikoushan Luoshuizhai 1️⃣5️⃣Jieyang · Huangqishan Forest Park 1️⃣6️⃣Qingyuan · Nanxia 1️⃣7️⃣Zhaoqing · Simenyan 1️⃣8️⃣Foshan · Changqi Ancient Village 💡See if I've visited your hometown

In recent years, the Nanwan Red Pine Forest Provincial Nature Reserve in Luhe County, Guangdong Province, has carried out its first phase of boundary demarcation and marker placement, infrared camera monitoring, plant diversity surveys and monitoring, construction of a 1.5-kilometer science education trail, and renovation and upgrading of a 90-square-meter nature classroom. It has also completed a supplementary scientific investigation report, continuously improving the reserve's infrastructure and gradually clarifying its basic resources. In December 2023, the reserve invited professors from the Tropical Forestry Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Forestry and South China Agricultural University to conduct research on the construction of a green and beautiful demonstration protected area. A seminar was held, the demonstration direction was determined, and the "Implementation Plan for the Construction of Guangdong Provincial Demonstration Protected Areas (First Batch)" (2025-2027) was initially formulated, preparing for the creation of a green and beautiful Shanwei and the construction of Luhe County's ecological civilization. The reserve boasts rolling hills, crisscrossing valleys, beautiful peaks, lush trees, and enchanting scenery. It is a natural oxygen bar with extremely high negative ion content. Immersed in the century-old red pine forest, one feels a sense of returning to nature and simplicity, making it an ideal place for people to reconnect with and enjoy nature. It is understood that the Nanwan Red Pine Forest Provincial Nature Reserve in Luhe County, Guangdong Province, was established in October 2001 with the approval of the Provincial People's Government because it preserves the largest, best-preserved, and most pristine red pine forest community in China. Covering an area of 2486 hm2, the reserve is located in Nanwan Town and Luoxi Town, Luhe County, with geographical coordinates of 23º19'08.90''~23º25'24.27'N and 115º28'20.02''~115º36'36.06''E. After integration and optimization in 2023, the total area of the reserve is 5757.64 hm2, with a forest coverage rate of 91.6% and a total standing volume of 183,100 cubic meters. Its main protected objects are the natural red pine forest and extremely rare wild flora and fauna. In 2005, the reserve was designated the Guangdong Luhe Nanwan Red Pine Forest Youth Science Popularization Education Base by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education and other departments. In July 2022, it was designated a Guangdong Provincial Nature Education Base. In April 2024, it was designated a Shanwei Municipal Environmental Education Base by the Shanwei Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment. According to the latest survey data, the reserve now has 1,163 species of wild vascular plants, about 200 more than when the reserve was first established. Among them are one species of *Paphiopedilum purpurea*, a Class I national protected plant; and 13 species of other Class II national protected plants, including *Cyathea spinulosa*, *Euphorbia fujisifolia*, *Cyathea foetida*, *Cyathea chinensis*, *Cycas revoluta*, *Cephalotaxus fortunei*, *Morinda officinalis*, and *Cymbidium ensifolium*. The reserve has recorded 201 species of terrestrial wild vertebrates, including two Class I national protected animals: the small Indian civet and the yellow-breasted bunting; and 22 Class II national protected wild animals, including the leopard cat, python, white-browed partridge, silver pheasant, crested goshawk, serpent eagle, black kite, yellow-billed scops owl, thrush, red-billed leiothrix, spotted mullet, black-crowned bittern, and red-horned owl. Eight species are under Guangdong Province's key protection. The complex and diverse ecological environment and abundant plant resources have nurtured a rich variety of flora and fauna. The main rivers in the protected area are the Nangao River, Dingyang River, and Changkeng River. The Nangao Reservoir within the reserve has a catchment area of 152.7 square kilometers and a storage capacity of 78.7 million cubic meters. It is a medium-sized reservoir in Shanwei City, a major drinking water source for Luhe County, and one of the tributaries of the Luohe River. The protected area plays a positive role in water conservation, soil and water retention, climate regulation, ecological environment improvement, and the supply of drinking water for more than 1.5 million people in the lower reaches of the Luohe River.

The views from the upper floors of the hotel facing the park are quite nice, and you can see the fireworks at night. Kudos to the front desk staff! Taking a taxi from Zhuhai Station, you can easily find the hotel lobby directly. It takes about 40 minutes. Taking a taxi from Hengqin Port nearby is closer. Check-in is at 3 PM. You can check in at the lobby, store your luggage, and then go to the park. After 3 PM, you'll receive a text message with your group room number and assigned area. You can order takeout, but the takeout point is at the bus stop outside the hotel lobby near the Glacier Zone rooms. I was assigned an Ocean Zone room, which was quite a distance to get there. I suggest ordering inside the park and picking it up on your way back. However, the hotel currently offers a free buffet breakfast the next day with a single buffet dinner purchase, which is quite convenient. The room is spacious and has a sterilizer, which is fantastic! The bed is also very large; I think two adults and one child could sleep comfortably. The entire park and hotel are very family-friendly, especially with children. The paths are flat, making it easy to push a stroller. Some attractions require going down stairs to enter. The 5D effects were quite good. I recommend sitting in the middle of the first row of the second area, because the screen is very large and you can't see everything if you're too close. This area is very spacious, allowing you to stretch your legs freely, and at the end, a small plane flies overhead. These past few days, it was during elementary school holidays, so only the rides had queues; everything else was free. If you're an adult traveling alone, the park isn't as fun, and most shows are concentrated in the afternoon and evening, so I basically finished everything in half a day. I didn't try the roller coasters or other rides because I had just returned from Hong Kong Disneyland and wasn't very interested. If you're looking for shows and animal attractions, I've been to Dalian Tiger Beach three times already, and I think that's enough. Unless you're in a nearby province or city, there's no need to fly all the way to Zhuhai just for this; it's not particularly suitable for adults. In short, if you're in a nearby province or city, it's definitely a popular destination for family trips.
155***69I really enjoyed it. The animals seemed very free and roamed around, allowing for close-up observation. My daughter fed the giraffes and flamingos, which was a wonderful experience. I also loved the spider monkeys. The zookeeper was lovely and very patient in explaining things. I would definitely go again if I had the chance.
浅蓝色的海I think 300 yuan per person is great value for money. It includes a free cable car ride for a panoramic view of the entire park, and a free mini-train ride for a close-up look at the animals on the African savanna – you get to see everything from different angles. We also spent 300 yuan to drive through the park and get a more intimate look at the animals – a very immersive experience. It wasn't the weekend, so it wasn't too crowded. The park staff were very responsible in their explanations. We also ordered a three-person set meal inside the park, which was a bit pricey, but reasonable for the park's price.
苏美丽呀The main attractions included in the package ticket are Shuzhuang, Sunlight Rock, and the Palace Museum. There's also an organ performance in the Bagua Building. Otherwise, you can skip the rest. The price is similar to snowboarding, but one yard saves some time.
M45***95Bought tickets through Trip for our family getaway. Enjoyed it immensely and the view from the top was amazing. Came with my father who is using wheelchair and all the staff were very helpful. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Guangzhou.
NajieAngelicaThe most convenient way to enter Xiamen Botanical Garden is from the West Gate, as the subway and bus stations are nearby. The South Gate is best accessed via the popular mountain escalator. The garden is large, and taking the electric cart is a time-saving and energy-efficient option. The tropical rainforest area features timed misting systems, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. The succulent area boasts a wide variety of succulents, making it a worthwhile destination for photos. The flower area offers many beautiful blooms.
ncyygoSix-star review! I'm giving it an extra star so you won't get too cocky. If you're still hesitating, grab it now! Highly recommended, it's really great, and the price is excellent. I'll definitely buy from this store again. In short: Satisfied! Satisfied! Satisfied!
_We***62The place was full of things to be explored with mini shows representing each country. Artificial demonstrations and models are beyond amazing.
_TI***ebOverall, I'd give it 4 stars! There weren't many people at midday, and you can see the botanical garden right next door. The scenery is roughly as shown in the picture below. I recommend going in the afternoon at sunset; the scenery should be even more beautiful! The overall duration was reasonable; it was nice to enjoy the autumn breeze. 👍
