Guangzhou's Karuizawa, high-altitude private hot spring B&B—Congxi Mountain Residence

Around the Dragon Boat Festival, it's suitable to return to the green mountains and waters, to feel the breath of the jungle🎋 Choose a place for a weekend getaway, Congxi Mountain Residence stands out among the few high-altitude private hot spring resorts. If you are also looking for an unpretentious, genuinely comfortable B&B with a natural ambiance, this place is recommendable to you. Let's talk about what's special here 🎍Environment Located near Xitou Village, Conghua, Guangzhou, on the Tropic of Cancer at an altitude of over 400 meters, it is built against the mountains and bamboo forests. It's not the kind of B&B that attracts attention with luxurious landscapes, but staying here gives you a sense of relaxation integrated with nature. There is a path in the B&B, about 100 meters along which you can walk into the bamboo forest on the mountain, where there are waterfalls and streams 🏡Private Hot Spring Villas The rooms here all come with a private hot spring, and each one has a view of the bamboo forest/mountains. I chose room 004, a panoramic private hot spring loft. The first floor is where the hot spring pool is located. Initially, the online pictures didn't look appealing, but once I lay in the pool, I realized I could look up at the bamboo forest and listen to the cicadas while soaking♨️ The second floor has a large skylight with great lighting, lying here for tea or sleeping under the blue sky is very pleasant🍵 The large bed on the third floor faces the bamboo forest, and the space is relatively independent from the second floor, with a big white wall that can be used for projecting movies 🏕️Public Area The restaurant, lobby, tea room, and library are all in the same building. The tea room offers mountain view afternoon tea outside, and the restaurant provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The B&B chef goes to the village every day to buy fresh ingredients, and the housekeeper will confirm the menu with you in advance. You can enjoy fresh farmhouse dishes without going out. There is also an outdoor barbecue area next to the bamboo forest swimming pool. 🫥Details The details here are comparable to a five-star hotel, and you can tell they are thoughtfully provided. Slippers and towels are comfortable and of good quality, the room's snacks are Sam's Club selections, the breakfast fried noodles are served with oil-absorbing paper, and the bedding is comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. 🚗About 1.5hrs drive from downtown Guangzhou Take a taxi or drive to 'Congxi Mountain Residence'
