I've been to so many hot springs for dinner, but I'm most satisfied with the taste of this restaurant, which is awesome! The average consumption per person is about 130, and there is a 10% discount for guests staying in the hotel. I will bring my friends here again next time if I have the chance!
Guzhen Restaurant is a restaurant in the Merrill Lake Hotel. It should be the most upscale restaurant in Merrill Lake. Brunch and afternoon tea are particularly popular during holidays. There are many varieties and the prices are affordable. There are fewer people on holidays, and the dining environment feels better.

I went to the Pinweiyuan Restaurant in Qingyuan with my friends some time ago. The experience was very good and I must share it with everyone.
As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you can feel its unique atmosphere. The decoration style is very local, antique and warm, the wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and there are some old photos of Qingyuan hanging on the wall, which makes people instantly immersed in the strong regional culture.
The dishes of Pinweiyuan are even more unique. The signature Qingyuan chicken has yellow skin and white meat, fat and tender, smooth skin and tender meat. After a bite, the original chicken aroma spreads in the mouth, which makes people aftertaste endlessly. There is also the knife-cut glutinous rice cake, which has a soft and glutinous texture, with rich soup and rich side dishes, and the taste is mellow. Every bite is full of home warmth. Moreover, their dishes are very generous, the price is very affordable, and the cost performance is super high.
In terms of service, the waiter is warm and thoughtful, and you can feel the caring service from the moment you enter the door. Not only will they guide you to your seat in time, but they will also patiently introduce the characteristics of the dishes. During the meal, they will take the initiative to help add water and clean the table, making the meal very comfortable.
The only drawback is that the restaurant has more customers during peak hours, and the serving speed may be a little slow, but this also reflects its popularity.
In general, Pinweiyuan is a restaurant worth trying. Whether you want to taste authentic Qingyuan cuisine or enjoy a comfortable dining environment and service, you will not be disappointed here.
I originally wanted to go to another highly rated farmhouse restaurant in the village. I finally got there after a long journey, but was told that it was closed and reminded to call first. This restaurant is right on the roadside. The goose is amazing. Although the meat is a bit hard, the skin is very fragrant, especially the brown sugar sauce. I still savored the goose meat a few days later. I wanted to go again two days later, but the distance did not match the business hours. Chicken offal fried with fresh bamboo shoots, the fresh bamboo shoots should be fermented, with a special taste, the bitterness is basically removed, the bamboo shoots are delicate and crisp; the chicken offal should be from a live chicken, and the taste is very good. Mulberry leaves do have their own unique taste.

The number one recommendation of the popular Cantonese cuisine list is "Flyover Restaurant". I drove here by myself, there are not many parking spaces, I arrived at 6:15, and there are still a few choices. I wanted to sit on the side, it was quite big, and at about 7 o'clock, it was almost full, and the tables were turned over many times👍👍. Many of them were from other places who came here to eat🐔😂
Two people had chicken (Auntie said there are chicken pot, duck pot, and dog meat pot. Li Qingyuan insisted on Qingyuan chicken🐔), and they directly served a thin pot with a portion of lettuce. The chicken was fanned chicken, and the chicken was freshly killed and not cooked when it came out of the pot. It was cooked slowly on charcoal. The taste was okay, but I was afraid of the heat after eating🤣. The bill was 108+, and Huafeng was 5 yuan, which was cost-effective. Two people ate 5 sun, and it was still a lot😋. You can come and try it in the future🤨
Qingyuan's free-range chicken is now famous throughout China. This restaurant is loved by locals and is basically eaten by locals. This chicken pot is a must-order for every table. The price is not more than 100 and is also affordable.

📍Qingyuan, also known as "Phoenix City", is said to have a phoenix in ancient times. In order to thank humans for saving the little phoenix in the flood, it sacrificed itself to help people trapped by the flood. In order to commemorate this phoenix, people also call Qingyuan Phoenix City.
✅Qingyuan is connected to Guangzhou and Foshan in the south and Hunan and Guangxi in the north. It is known as the "crossroads of three provinces and the fortress of Beijiang". As the largest prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province, the high-quality and rich geothermal resources and the mountain and canyon landforms make Qingyuan's reputation as "China's Hot Spring Hometown" and "China's Rafting Hometown" well-deserved. You can take a hot spring bath in winter and rafting in summer.
✅Qingyuan has 2 districts (Qingcheng District and Qingxin District), 2 cities (Yingde City and Lianzhou City), and 4 counties (Fogang County, Yangshan County, Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Lianshan Zhuang and Yao Autonomous County). Different regions have different characteristics and each has formed its own "center":
🔸Qingcheng District and Qingxin District: Connected to Guangzhou and Foshan in the south, it is the main urban area of Qingyuan in the conventional sense. It has most rafting resources including Huangteng Gorge, Gulong Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, etc. In addition, it also has mountain and lake resources including Beijiang Little Three Gorges and Taohua Lake.
🔸Yingde City: An important town in northern Guangdong, "Hometown of Black Tea" is its most famous name. Because of its magnificent and continuous karst landforms, it has won the reputation of "Little Guilin in Lingnan". It has famous attractions such as Yingxi Peak Forest Corridor, Baojing Palace, Jiqingli Black Tea Valley, and Aoyuan Yingde Chocolate Kingdom.
🔸"Sanlian" area: has the most dazzling "ethnic style" in Guangdong. Lianzhou City is famous for Lianzhou Underground River and Huangchuan Three Gorges. Liannan County, which has Liannan Qiannian Yao Village and China Yao Museum, is dominated by Yao customs. Lianshan County, which has Jinzi Mountain and Oujia Terraces, also has Zhuang folk customs.
🔸Fogang County: It is home to hot spring resorts with different styles such as Julong Bay, Senpola, and Xile Valley.
🔸Yangshan County: It is famous for its high mountains. It has Guangdong's highest peak, Guangdong No. 1 Peak, and Xiatianxia Scenic Area at the junction with Shaoguan.
⭐Qingyuan is large and scattered. Tourist attractions are distributed in various towns and have a large span. There are buses between towns, but there are more turnovers and it is more time-consuming. Cross-town travel and self-driving/chartering are the most worry-free and trouble-free ways.
🔥There are 16 popular must-visit attractions, please see the picture for detailed guide
🍡Local food must-eat Qingyuan chicken, goose, Leicha porridge, Dongpi water corner, stuffed pepper goose intestines, Kuzhai Po white tofu and pork bone soup, sour bamboo shoots, snails and pork intestines, pig eight treasures, Hebaxian, Xingzi beef noodles, Xingzi beef glutinous rice, Xingzi braised pork, Lianzhou beef offal, Yaojia bamboo tube, mountain pit fish, Jiulong tofu, Yangshan wheat soup, Fogang kudzu, Liannan glutinous rice wine, smoked meat, Lianzhou steamed beef jerky, braised beef hoof.

The environment here is very good, looking at the golf course, lush and green. The breakfast has made a qualitative leap compared to a few years ago. Various fruits, milk, freshly cooked noodles, spicy hot pot wontons, Cantonese dim sum, various scented teas, etc., value for money
It is edible, delicious, and I love it. I want to eat more after eating it.

Lu Goose and Qingyuan White-cut Chicken are must-order dishes. Lu Goose tastes very good, and the goose has a goose flavor; similarly, Qingyuan White-cut Chicken also uses Qingyuan chicken, and the chicken has a chicken flavor. The environment is average, and the air conditioning is not cold enough. The service is good.
