❗️
• Download the "Anaya" app in advance, locate China Travel · Anaya · Jiulong Lake, and make a "Old Church Tour Reservation" under the "Activities" section on the homepage. Try to book at least one day in advance on weekends and holidays.
• Transportation: Take Metro Line 14 to Xinhe Station Exit A, then take a taxi; if driving, navigate to "China Travel Anaya Jiulong Lake."
• Outfit: Prepare light-colored or vintage-style clothing, such as French floral dresses, vintage plaid suits, etc. You can also bring a trench coat or magic robe for night photography.

🤳 Must-visit photo spots and angles~

• European Town:
The church 💒! Street corners! Use low-angle shots looking up to create a sense of street extension and architectural layers;
In front of the colorful houses, stand at the door or by the window to interact with the buildings 🥰

• Old Church: Book a tour to enter the church interior and capture the sunlight streaming through the windows; at the mist forest near the church entrance, you can take magical atmosphere photos; from the upstairs window opposite the church, you can overlook the entire European town.
• Jiulong Lake Ecological Park: On the 9-kilometer-long lake and mountain boardwalk, shoot with the lake and forest as the background; at the center of Celebration Square, use the surrounding buildings and greenery as the backdrop; at the viewing platform, capture the vast lake view and distant European-style buildings.
• Golf Course: At the fence around the course, use the lush green course and distant European buildings as the background to shoot side or back profiles, creating a vacation vibe.

Travel Route Planning
• One-day intense tour: Arrive at European Town in the morning, take photos for 2 hours, check in at the church, streets, castle, etc.; have lunch at the First Canteen; in the afternoon, visit the Ecological Park, walk the boardwalk, explore the maze, and climb the viewing platform; watch the sunset by the lake in the town in the evening.
• Two-day leisure tour: Arrive in the afternoon on the first day, check into the Princess Hotel or King Hotel, rest briefly, then experience or watch golf at the golf course; dine at the hotel restaurant or lakeside restaurant in the evening; on the second day, wake up naturally, go for a deep oxygen hike in the Ecological Park, have pizza at BRASSTON in the town for lunch, continue taking photos and exploring before heading back.

Food Recommendations
• First Canteen: Anaya’s signature canteen offering Sichuan, Hunan, Cantonese, and other cuisines at affordable prices.
• Lakeside Restaurant: Beautiful environment where you can enjoy the lake view while dining; signature crispy-skinned roast duck with tender meat, plus exquisite Cantonese and fusion dishes.
• BRASSTON: Offers freshly baked thin-crust pizza and drinks, perfect for dates or gatherings with friends, full of atmosphere.
