💭Travel Route Guide:
✅Accommodation
We stayed at a lakeside hot spring hotel set in a landscape painting, backed by green mountains and overlooking forest lakes. Wake up to capture misty lake views framed by karst landforms for ethereal photos. Enjoy mountain spring hot springs at night, comfortable and relaxing~ The hotel's infinity pool is like a sapphire embedded at the forest edge. Dive into coolness this summer and take photos framed by distant peaks, like swimming in a natural painting!!

✅Heart Island-Lovers Bridge
True to its name, the winding boardwalk connects two hearts, with each step seemingly writing your own love story. It's said that couples who walk across hand-in-hand will lock in their destiny~ Surrounded by clear waters, you can rent small boats to paddle 🚣 or cycle around the lake 🚲. The island also has picnic lawns and wishing trees - bring some food and enjoy a ceremonial afternoon tea~

✅Yingshi Bridge
Built with Lingnan's famous "Yingshi" stones, the bridge's mottled patterns tell stories of years gone by. Stepping onto it feels like traveling back to old Lingnan. Listen to the wind through stone cracks, watch clouds roll over streams - when fog surrounds it, it's like a fairyland.

✅Twilight Pine Forest
A twilight forest favored by time itself. When mist wanders between trees, it's like stepping into a secret Nordic fairy tale. In early morning when thin fog covers everything, the tea garden's fragrance mixed with morning dew hits your face~

✅Jiqingli Red Tea Valley
A filming location for "Aerial China," this "tea-scented timeless" wonderland features thousands of acres of terraced tea gardens stretching to the horizon like a giant green carpet. Tea rows meander like lines of poetry, creating waves of green when the wind blows, and even your breath becomes infused with the rich aroma of Yingde black tea~ Become a tea farmer here and experience picking "one bud and two leaves" yourself, unlocking a romantic tea mountain exclusive~
