Xihu Resort Introduction

Xihu Resort emphasizes romantic European-style charm and natural relaxation, boasting rich natural resources with an expansive area of approximately 60 hectares. Within the resort, you can find the Victoria Hall showcasing local specialty souvenirs, the Versailles Garden, the Herb Café, an 18-hole mini-golf course, forest barbecue areas, hiking trails, a celebrity performance plaza, jungle ecology classrooms, the Ling Mountain Cave Blessing Tunnel, a wild amusement park, the Lakeside Pavilion, and lakeside cafes. Thanks to the continuous dedication and efforts of the management team, Xihu Resort has been recognized as a "premium amusement area" by the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for eighteen consecutive years. Uniquely, Xihu Resort is conveniently located next to the Sanyi Interchange on National Highway No. 3, allowing you to enjoy fresh and leisurely activities without extensive travel. Upon entering, you are greeted by beautiful forests, the romantic Happiness Square, and the European-style garden, featuring elegantly designed human sculptures, lively artificial fountains, and tens of thousands of colorful flowers that create a vibrant and picturesque four-season atmosphere, immersing you in the leisurely charm of a European estate, making you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to the meticulous landscaping by the resort, one of the most notable natural sights nearby is the natural lake adjacent to the resort, which can rival Hangzhou's West Lake—referred to as "Xihu." Covering an area of 10 hectares, Xihu is surrounded by mountains, sparkling on the surface, rich in ecology, and offering stunning scenery. Strolling along the lakeside and meandering beside the willow bank is like stepping into a landscape painting, allowing you to feel calm and tranquil. If you are interested, don't just stand by the lakeside gazing at Xihu; consider taking a swan boat ride. If you're lucky, you might encounter some friendly mallards swimming nearby, allowing you to enjoy the leisurely and natural charm here up close. Known as the "Hometown of Tung Tree Flowers," Xihu Resort attracts numerous visitors during the Tung flower season from April to May, when the fallen flowers create a snow-like blanket. Staying overnight allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of the blooming Tung flowers; in the early morning, the beautiful white flowers scatter across the ground, while sunlight playfully dances through the treetops, making the entire forest resemble a snow-covered landscape, presenting a delicate spring scene. Alternatively, you can climb up the Lakeside Pavilion for a broader view, resembling the aging mountains in the distance, or visit the lakeside to boat and experience the beauty of Xihu reflecting the snow-like scenery. Each unique way of enjoying the Tung flowers is well worth experiencing. Top 10 Must-Visit Attractions in the Resort: 1.
