Foshan Lecong Family City Walk Niche Spot

Guangzhou Peripheral Tour During the May Day Holiday
🚙0.5 hrs from Guangzhou by car
🚇You can also take the Guangfo Line: Exit A of Dongping Station (approx. 1 hr)
✨Stop 1: 🐿️Squirrel Island + Sika Deer Island🦌
Self-driving navigation: Xincheng Squirrel Island. There are parking spaces on the roadside when you arrive at the location (🚇15-minute walk from Exit A of Dongping Subway Station). After parking, switch to walking navigation. It is about a 6-minute walk. There are electric cars for rent, but if you only want to visit Squirrel Island and Sika Deer Island, you don’t need to rent a car. If you want to visit the entire Lecong National Water Conservancy Scenic Area, it is recommended to rent one.
🦌Sika Deer Island is only open on weekday afternoons at 2pm, and on weekends and holidays at 10am. We missed it and didn't see the 🦌.
🐿️Squirrel Island has squirrel-style small houses for taking photos. We also encountered a hamster that had escaped. It didn't seem to be afraid of people and kept approaching us, as if it was begging for snacks. For safety reasons, we just watched from a distance🤣.
✨Stop 2: 🌸Along Green Island, you can walk to Century Lotus Sea Park, where there is also a small sea of flowers to take pictures of, but it is said that it will be replanted for May Day.
✨Stop 3: 🏨Accommodation: InterContinental Hotel Foshan Shunde East Ping
🦁When checking in, my younger sister was deeply attracted by the two lion dance figures in the lobby. The details were exquisite, and they were also vividly "moving". Foshan is the birthplace of the lion dance. There is also a Foshan-style lion dance check-in wall outside the door, which shows the hotel's care and attention to detail.
🦸The family room has an Ultraman theme, with a huge Ultraman doll and monsters to play checkers with🤣.
🏊The hotel has an indoor heated swimming pool and an outdoor children's wading pool, and provides popular swimming rings. We came on May Day morning, and there were few people, so we basically had the whole place to ourselves.
🛝There are two playgrounds, one located on the 6th floor of the hotel, with a ball pit, and one located on the first floor of the hotel, with an inflatable castle, building blocks, and picture books. Our younger sister was quietly drawing and building blocks, and our older brother was running around in the inflatable castle.
🎂It happened to be my birthday, and I heard that the buffet here is very outstanding, so I arranged it. Freshly caught seafood, with shrimp jumping out, don't miss the abalone👍, freshly made soufflé, freshly fried steak, and king crab🦀, grouper, and sashimi platter. This is one of the few buffets that I would like to come back to next time. Because of the satisfaction of dinner, I looked forward to breakfast. When entering, the staff took the initiative to ask what I wanted to drink. I replied: Latte. Then I got a latte with a heart-shaped latte art, which was a restaurant full of ritual and sincerity☕️.
✨Stop 4: Daxiao Restaurant
Recommended by local Shunde people, remember to book in advance. It was packed when we went for lunch. Everything we ordered was delicious, including roast goose, Lun Jiao cake, double-layer milk, lamb chops, and steamed sandworms👍.
✨Stop 5: Spill Coffee
Hidden in an old building, the old-fashioned house is cool and comfortable when you enter, and the taste and style are online.
