Trip Moments Recommendations

千灯湖公园 aka Thousand Lantern Lake Park is the last one in the group of three parks connected to each other and forming huge urban green area for getaway.What could be more fascinating than water? And in China people use its property pretty well to create the shelter where people can find a rest. Several lake pools are united into one park but separated from each other by dams and bridges. Water mirroring curved futuristic bridges creates an feeling of something unrealistic. The evening is good time to arrive here. During sunset it looks even more charming. Night lights work well to change the environment and let the visitors to dive in the magic world. #wintergetaway

InterContinental Foshan Poly Thousand Lantern Lake

Slide to the end for InterContinental Foshan Thousand Lantern Lake Hotel Last night, I suddenly thought that as a long-time hotel enthusiast (Marriott Lifetime Platinum, Hilton Diamond, Shangri-La Diamond, and I won't list all the high-tier cards I've had), I really should name my hotel sharing series because I very much enjoy weekend Staycations and one year I almost lived in hotels all year round. So, I came up with this name - Home Away From Home (continuously updated, follow for more). The opening of this series (I won't change the names of the ones I've shared before) is one of my favorite brands this summer - InterContinental. The first one in Foshan is InterContinental Foshan Poly Thousand Lantern Lake. The first impression this hotel gave me is 'Old Money'. Huge brand carpet, Baroque style lobby, the logo surrounded by greenery right opposite the lobby, to the European style lounge design of the InterContinental Club, all reveal an old-fashioned (neutral term) luxury. The second impression is the view from the window, occupying an excellent position on Thousand Lantern Lake. From the windows on both sides of the club, you can see the panoramic view of Thousand Lantern Lake, which is very pleasing to the eye, both day and night. The third impression is the relatively comfortable executive lounge. During the summer, it's hard to find a quiet and comfortable lounge with convenient dining, and IC is second to none. Whether it's afternoon tea or happy hour, it's not noisy, and the food is quite sufficient. The selection of drinks is also not bad. Drinking wine, enjoying the meal, and watching the lights of Thousand Lantern Lake come on (strongly recommend booking an executive room or purchasing privileges). The fourth impression is the full vacation vibe. Next to the IC logo opposite the hotel lobby, there is a path that connects to the walking path of Thousand Lantern Lake, convenient for guests to take a walk by the lake. The outdoor swimming pool, with its open view and quiet surroundings, along with the all-day dining lounge (breakfast at Thousand Lantern Lake, all-day restaurant), makes for a weekend that feels like a full day's recharge and full revival. Finally, be sure to slide to the end, the slippers here are truly one of the most comfortable hotel slippers I've ever worn.

I declare Foshan as my third favorite city in Guangdong

I declare Foshan as my third favorite city in Guangdong. Hehe, the kind of city in Guangdong where I want to settle down. I have worked in Shenzhen for over two years and currently in Guangzhou for nearly half a year. I have visited Zhuhai, Dongguan, Huizhou, Shantou, Shanwei, Qingyuan, and Foshan. Finally, I have found the city where I really want to settle down. Not to mention the abundance of delicious food, it's also very close to Guangzhou and not too crowded. Last Saturday, I went to Foshan City walk and felt completely relaxed and comfortable. The city gives me a sense of being very new and clean. The strong Lingnan cultural atmosphere, strolling in Qiandeng Lake Park, the bustling night market, the dazzling light show, dragon boat racing in the lake, the lakeside playing 'My Motherland and I' and the theme song of the Huang Feihong movies... all these made me have a good impression of this originally unfamiliar city. As a northerner who has been in Guangdong for nearly 3 years, I never felt a sense of belonging in any city within Guangdong province. My first visit to Foshan made me think about settling down for the first time, although I might not be able to afford a house and there may not be job opportunities, it doesn't stop me from liking Foshan.

QianDeng Water Pavilion: The beauty of romantic red leaves in deep winter, the latest check-in holy land is waiting for you

Whether in Foshan, Guangdong or other cities, it is not easy to experience the romantic autumn and winter landscape. However, in QianDeng Lake Park, you can witness the romantic landscape that seems to be 'deep autumn' in 'deep winter'. There are large areas of Taxodium distichum, which can grow in water, and they grow straight like OCD, and their leaves turn red in winter, neat and eye-catching. 🌟Highlights: In winter, the leaves of QianDeng Lake Park may present a half-green and half-red state, and by January, all the leaves should turn red, which is more beautiful. In the early morning and dusk, the light is the softest, which is around 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, is the best time to shoot beautiful scenery. 📝Photography tips: Use medium and long focus lenses: It is recommended to use medium and long focus lenses, especially when people are walking on the plank road surrounded by Taxodium distichum, use medium and long focus to compress the foreground, middle ground and background together, plus light and shadow and water reflection, the picture will be more layered. Choose the right lens: Carry an 85F1.8 or 24-70GM lens, or a 70-200 lens can also create great effects. Make full use of natural light. In the morning and dusk, the soft light of the sun will add warmth and softness to the photo. You can find the best posture and expression according to the direction and intensity of the light to make the photo more flavorful. Try to use different lenses and focal lengths. Using a telephoto lens can highlight the sense of layering between the character and the background, and can also capture the details of the character's expression; while a wide-angle lens can present the spectacular view of the Taxodium distichum forest in the picture, increasing the sense of atmosphere and shock. Through these character photography techniques, you can create photos with storytelling and artistic sense in the shooting, making the beautiful scenery of QianDeng Lake Park more vividly presented.
