Everyone will guess and know which one I’m talking about.”

Z huh love,China
Yes.
It’s the Zhuhai Royal Hot Spring that “ask the young people around you and most of them will answer that they have already visited it”.
Compared with regular hot spring villas, this one feels very unique in terms of equipment and services.
Wearing a yukata and eating temple fair snacks. Playing with fireworks, Going to the garden party. After we went there, even my friends were joking: Why do you feel like going to Japan when you go to a hot spring ?
(Cover girl Abbyabbie is so beautiful that she shines)
I went there in early 2017 with my super best friend Barbie.
Although I visited the store a long time ago, unfortunately, I just went there with the intention of enjoying myself, so I didn’t bring my camera with me. I only had my mobile phone to take rough records.
Seeing so many bright spots, I felt heartbroken at that time.
Fortunately, Abbyabbie also went there this year and brought back perfect materials. Therefore, the following will also be adopted simultaneously. Well, she gets half of the royalties and rewards.
(Have you noticed that the two mentioned are the interviewees of my article "Looking for Harry Potter (You can click to jump to read)"?!)
I originally thought that most of the people interested in this would be girls.
Unexpectedly, when I visited in person, I discovered that not only best friends or couples come here, but also families and groups come together. It seems that the target user group is really set very wide.

“The highlight in my eyes🌟”
First of all, highlight one, From the rooms to the clothing, to the play scenes, most of them adopt the Japanese style, giving tourists a refreshing feeling among many conventional hot spring resorts.
Take the room as an example, the log texture and tatamiare really lovable. Although each model is different, Whether you choose a duplex suite, a more modern upper room, or a traditional sofa, you will not be too disappointed.
Although I was not able to successfully move into the room I was interested in at the beginning, I was upgraded to Yunlai Shangfang for free. But as soon as I entered the room, the coffee table and tatami immediately attracted me.
What's more, there is the same Japanese-style green bamboo garden outside the house.
As soon as Barbie and I entered the room, we put on our bathrobes and played around in the room for a long time. In the evening, when the temple fair dinner was almost about to begin, I hurriedly started putting on makeup.
Even the corridor at the door of the room is also a good place to take photos.
If you look for the guide to Royal Hot Spring on the Internet, you will find that almost every little fairy has taken a back photo or background photo here.
The second highlight, is that this resort seems to not waste any available space to satisfy tourists' photography psychology.
From the moment we first stepped into the hotel to check in to check out, everyone’s mobile phones and cameras were almost never stopped. In addition to the rooms and corridors mentioned above, there is also an entire temple fair area with various large and small scenery.
Not to mention, the usually familiar wish wall not far from the front desk, where residents have all grabbed pens and paper. Those who took photos and made wishes were all very enthusiastic. But most of them are confessions between lovers, and some are kind-hearted blessings to the world and strangers.
Full of wishes are plastered layer upon layer all over the wall.
After opening the signature paper, what you see is still the signature paper. I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been sorted out much since it opened.
I also joined in the fun and wrote two wishes. One is asking for money, and the other is asking for Ibaraki-douji to be drawn (this game was popular at the time ) Wealth did not come out, but after returning from the hot spring, Ibaraki was drawn and he was happily fed to six stars.
And walking further in, you can start to see Xiaotang Town.
The shops on the street were closed and there were not many people around. I was still wondering why this scenic spot was closed on weekends. I never thought that the temple fair dinner that night was held here.
Since the official check-in time is 3pm, Barbie and I didn't have a room to enter. So we simply had lunch here and then wandered around casually.
Most of the small shops on the street, some vendors, or antique gambling houses, opium dens, and Yihongyuan are the design and scenery of the resort.
Visitors can play freely here, all kinds of imagination and creativity can start to collide and burst. He would go to the stall and pretend to be a cunning and secretive boss, and then he would put on his official uniform and official hat and sentence him to death with a guillotine.
Who says that underneath our cute appearance, we don’t have a heart for drama.
At night, this place becomes different.
The "real" bosses will appear to take charge of the overall situation. I want to take a gamble (of course not real gambling), I want to watch a performance, I want to watch the craftsmen’s live products, I want to watch a play, I want to participate in the game. These are just minor obstacles. Because as soon as the evening started, it was like a garden party.
The third highlight: The temple fair banquet is rich in variety and novel in form. Everyone can take a plate, put their favorite food in their hands, eat as they walk, and taste the whole street.
When entering, you can exchange your dinner ticket for a tattoo mark placed on the back of your hand by the staff. In the next few hours, you can come and go at will with your tattoo.
Hot, cold, Chinese, Western, Japanese and Korean, staple food and snacks are all basically available. Moreover, although the buffet-style food here is not the best,but eating here is an experience and feeling.
The tableware is placed at intervals so that customers can take it away and use it when they pass by. When they walk to the next point, they can change the tableware to a new one or put it down for recycling. Clean dishes and dirty dishes are replaced very quickly, and I have to say that Yu Onsen's logistical support is also very good.
Of course, taking into account the eating habits of different users, the seating positions are also arranged very flexibly. Just walking and eating, it feels more like visiting a market.
Not all food can be taken away immediately, and some hot food still has to wait. Barbie said that the way I stood at the window eagerly looked like I was waiting for the aunt in the canteen to bring me food when I was in school.
There was a kid next door waiting for marshmallows, and we both wanted them too. When it was our turn, the little brother helped us make a super giant one. The sugar wadding around it sank and was about to fall. Only the bamboo stick in the middle is still barely holding it up, and it feels like I am holding a Tibetan hand-held prayer wheel.
As mentioned just now, the temple fair dinner provides not only a feast, but also various performances, games, and handicrafts, which are very comprehensive.
I have been watching Japanese cartoons since I was a child, and I have longed for their summer temple fairs, garden parties, and markets. As for the one at Yu Onsen, before I went to Japan to see it with my own eyes, it had already restored the scene in my imagination to a great extent.
And in my mind, it has been echoing, "I want to taste both the chicken cake and the jam on the corner of your mouth, the video of the garden party is playing, and we have made an appointment to go shopping together in this world~"
The final highlight is that in addition to providing basic accommodation and hot springs, in addition to the environmental services, landscape entertainment and food experience I mentioned above, it also provides other projects, which makes the entire resort content change. It must be enriched.
I remember that when we were approaching the temple fair dinner, we had a small cookie-making activity (you can also choose to do handicrafts).
Because there are many guests participating, the proportion of butter and flour is prepared like an assembly line, and the steps are given on-site with instructions and instructions on kneading and shaping the dough step by step.
Since I do some baking myself from time to time, I don’t find it very fun. But according to Anbyabbies who just went there recently, this activity is no longer available.
I checked on the website and it is indeed no longer available.
But even if you don’t have baking or crafting to do, the front desk will give you a lot of coupons when you check in, including Qianse Hutong karaoke, Xiaotang Town game coupons, fireworks coupons and cycling coupons.
Qianse Hutong is a promenade with Western restaurants, cafes, and bars connected together. It is much less interesting than Xiaotang Town. We came here after eating at the Xiaotang Town Temple Fair.
Although it is called karaoke, it is in the form of a lobby bar. If you want to participate, you need to go on stage and queue up to request songs.
Barbie and I both felt it was too private and decided to sit in the box drinking tea, picking out photos and listening to others singing. As a result, I kept listening to "Little Lucky" for no reason. Instead of one person singing in succession, everyone chose this song. From female to childish to bass. Every time the music started, we both looked at each other.
Game coupons are about 10 per room. You can participate in the game with the coupons. Most of the games are relatively simple: Angry Birds (a slingshot game) Archery, picking stones with chopsticks, blowing out candles, there are quite a few.
You can also use game coupons as chips and go to the gambling shop owner to gamble. If you win, you can get more coupons, if you lose, you will get none.
Although the game is not a big challenge, I remember that when I was in elementary school, my alma mater would organize a celebration like this on Children’s Day.
Each teacher will set up the scene in different classrooms for students to participate in playing games. When completed, a mark or signature is placed on the specific printed coupon in the student's hand. As long as 5 are collected, students can go to the centralized center to exchange for prizes or candies.
Now that I think about it, it seems that on that day, all the teachers got rid of their harshness and became ordinary adults who accompanied their students.
I don’t know how to play the game well, but once I get interested, I can still play together. I don’t know if such an activity still exists now. It feels like it’s been a long time ago in my memory.
When you need to take a break after eating the first half of the meal, you can take a walk to the open square and exchange your coupons for some fireworks. Of course, there is no colorful sky like a fireworks display, only a short and single fairy wand.
How to quickly take beautiful photos in this fleeting time depends on the ability of your companions. Barbie is amazing. She gave me a few pictures every once in a while to make a circle.
However, with such a night and the background of people wearing yukata, the bright flashes really made me feel like I was in Japan. Although it is not my first preference, I still hope to put it on my agenda as soon as possible in the future.
The cycling ticket is the most ignored one in the whole journey.
We had no desire to ride. It is said that you can rent a bicycle for free for a limited time near the resort and go around to pass the time.
As for hot spring , you can get unlimited access after registering at the front desk of the hot spring area. It is also operated 24 hours a day. The bathroom is very well equipped, even a waterproof mobile phone bag is prepared for you.
There are also a lot of pools. I won’t describe too much here because I didn’t take any photos. But there was a funny thing. We were both menstruating at the same time and couldn't go into the water, so we ended up just soaking our feet by the pool.
Because it was the end of winter and it happened to be cold, the two of us ran to the geothermal zone (the marble slab area, which was constantly warm due to the hot spring water under the floor) and lay there all the time, so warm that we didn’t even want to think about it. stand up.

"Refer to one or two ways to play✏"
Although, visiting the resort does not require much strategy. But since there are so many resources, it’s better to use them one by one and have fun.
Generally speaking, it takes 3 pm to get a room . I suggest you arrive 1-2 hours in advance, then store your luggage and go to the park. Like us, we can take pictures in Xiaotang Town during the day. Play.
If you want to ride a bike, you can do so at this time. But I don’t recommend it, so as not to delay the temple fair dinner.
If you don't ride a bike, it should be past 3 o'clock after visiting Xiaotang Town . If you have enough time, you can take a room and rest; girls should touch up their makeup and put on their yukata before going to Xiaotang Town to start eating and drinking.
The Xiaotang Town Temple Fair lasts for 4 hours, but you will be tired even after eating for 4 hours. So after eating the first half, you can go play games and set off fireworks, and then come back to stuff the gaps in your stomach.
After waiting for the temple fair to end, if you want to sing karaoke, you can go to a hot spring afterward. If you don’t want to go to karaoke, just go straight to the club.
Why is it recommended to go at this time, because it is very crowded from the afternoon to before dinner. If you are in a hurry to eat the temple fair dinner, you won’t have time to enjoy it, so the two best times are later before going to bed, or after waking up and eating breakfast the next day.
There are also buffet coupons for breakfast, located right next to the temple fair last night. There is nothing to do after breakfast, so I either go to the hot springs, go cycling, or just stroll around the garden promenade or something else .

“Order, reservation and transportation🚅”
This is really very simple. Just search for Yu Hot Spring on Taobao and make online package/service/room reservation.
After all, the content is quite rich and diverse. If you don’t understand something, you can still ask customer service. It takes more effort to place an incorrect order for free and then modify it.
Of course, when it comes to price, nearly 1,000 per person is not cheap. But once you arrive, there is basically no money expense, unless you need to eat here for lunch or a designated massage service.
Transportation is also very simple.
If you are not driving by yourself, you can book a free pick-up with the hotel in advance. Of course, the pick-up and drop-off addresses are limited to 4 designated locations in Zhuhai City, Gongbei Light Rail Station and Jiuzhou Port Terminal.
After placing the order, make an appointment to confirm the pick-up time, and then purchase the light rail ticket. Therefore, this service is also convenient for foreign tourists, and even residents from Hong Kong and Macao come to "sigh" from time to time.
This year they did a wave of forwarding marketing, similar to the kind where lottery experience places are played for free. For a while, when I opened Moments, I was flooded with the same articles and comments.
However, the result seems to be a bit unresolved later. When I checked again, the promotional article had been deleted.
However, from many aspects, Royal Hot Spring can really be regarded as one of the more complete and outstanding resorts in Guangdong Province. Most of the feedback from netizens is favorable.
I also really want to go there again.
