This Hotel in Dongguan, Guangdong Opened Up My Source of Inspiration

I've been to Guangdong many times, with Shenzhen, Shunde, Foshan and other places each having their own unique characteristics. I never expected that on this trip to Dongguan, besides the beautiful scenery of Songshan Lake, a lakeside resort hotel would open up my inspiration for life.

On my first day arriving in Dongguan, I chose to stay at Banyan Tree Songshan Lake. Having stayed at Banyan Tree properties in other cities, my first impression was excellent. This time I wanted to confirm that my choice wasn't wrong, and Banyan Tree once again proved to be perfect, so I want to share this wonderful experience with everyone:

About the hotel location:
It's located on Hugan Road, Songshan Lake, Dongguan. It takes about an hour by car from the city center to the hotel, making it a paradise-like resort away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The artistic beauty of the hotel:
As soon as I entered the lobby, I could tell this was a place with great aesthetic taste. The Banyan Tree water painting hanging in the lobby gives you a feeling of a Banyan Tree version of the famous "Along the River During Qingming Festival" painting, immediately immersing you in the story setting created by Banyan Tree. The entire hotel exudes a strong artistic atmosphere, showing how dedicated the hotel founders and staff are to creating a sanctuary for people.

The hotel staff are super easy to communicate with:
As soon as we entered the hotel, staff members kindly helped with our luggage while meticulously introducing us to the hotel environment, dining options, and daily activities. They provided us with tips about the surrounding area, making us feel warm and welcome from the moment we arrived, which was definitely a plus.

Hotel experience:
The room was spacious, clean and tidy. We stayed in a twin room which offered excellent value for money. The room design and layout were perfect - the Chinese light luxury style was simply irresistible. The outside view was also great. Whether holding a book by the window or quietly lying in the bathtub, I didn't want to move for hours.

Dining and activity experience:
My friend and I usually enjoy yoga and meditation activities, as everyone needs to calm their mind after work to stay focused. I originally thought the hotel's singing bowl meditation would just be a gimmick, but it turned out to be even more ceremonial than the professional meditation rooms we usually go to. There were also Thai therapists helping us relax our bodies and minds. For the spa experience, you can book Thai therapists in advance. I recommend the herbal compress massage - it was a perfect experience!!

The restaurant offers 270-degree lake views. In such a moment and place, I just wanted to throw everything aside and enjoy life~
You can cycle by the lake, but my friend and I chose to stroll slowly. When you finally get a break, of course you want to leisurely chat about beautiful things beyond the mundane world. The lake view was great, the hotel was satisfying, and after this vacation, I'm fully recharged.

Highly recommended for friends who just want a quiet holiday during the May Day break. If you prefer lively places, don't force yourself, haha~
