A Hidden Luxury Getaway Near Guangzhou

Don’t miss this hidden paradise when vacationing in Guangzhou! 🌿 The Hulu Natural Art Space tucked inside Liuxi River National Forest Park is truly a healing haven for city dwellers~

📍Location
Located by the Liuxi River in Conghua, about a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Guangzhou. It’s recommended to drive yourself; the scenery of green mountains and clear waters along the way is very refreshing! The navigation is accurate, but the last stretch of mountain road is narrow, so drive carefully.

✨Accommodation Experience
• All room amenities are designer pieces! Linen bedding, solid wood furniture, handmade ceramic cups, and even bamboo eco-friendly toothbrushes
• Each room features extra-large panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can watch the lake sunrise right from your bed
• Bathroom products are made from natural plant essential oils, with a faint sandalwood scent during baths

🌲Nearby Activities
1. Liuxi River National Forest Park: a 10-minute walk, super romantic for cherry blossom viewing in spring
2. Lakeside Boardwalk: a private hotel trail where you can spot flocks of egrets on early morning walks
3. Conghua Hot Springs: 20 minutes by car, recommended is the Bishuiwan Hot Spring Resort
4. Shimen National Forest Park: 40 minutes by car, the maple forest in autumn is stunning

🎨Art & Culture
The owner is a professor at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, making the entire space like a living art museum! You’ll find:
• Regular small exhibitions of paintings and pottery
• Various installation artworks hidden in the woods—don’t forget to find the “glowing tree”
• Outdoor movie nights every Saturday featuring indie films plus director Q&A sessions

🍽️Food Highlights
Be sure to try their “Wild Mountain Dinner” (reservation required)! All ingredients are freshly picked that day:
• Bamboo tube rice steamed with mountain spring water
• Must-order river delicacy: Liuxi River white fish
• Secret menu: Matsutake mushroom stewed with native chicken (seasonal)

💡Tips
• Best season: September to November (avoids rainy season and isn’t too cold)
• Remember to bring mosquito repellent! Although rooms have electric mosquito coils, you’ll need it for outdoor activities
• If not driving, contact the hotel for shuttle service (fee applies)
