[2025 Qingyuan Hotels] Travel Guide for Zhe · Brown Hotel (Qingyuan Qingcheng California Garden Branch) (Updated Jul)

Who can resist spending summer in Qingyuan immersed in water? Today, I’m sharing my ultimate "water fun + cinematic hotel stay" guide—follow this for a flawless trip! **Activities: The Ultimate Gulong Gorge Adventure—Thrilling but Joyful** **First Stop: QQ Speed (Beginner-Friendly Edition)** Head straight to Gulong Gorge and start with QQ Speed! The high-altitude track whizzes by, and the wind rushing past your ears is incredibly stress-relieving. (Psst: It’s not too fast, but those afraid of heights might want to skip—my bestie clung to the railing screaming the whole time 😂) **Second Stop: Canyon Speedway (A Battle of Speed and Freedom)** An *extra-long* track! Adjust your speed—go slow to enjoy the canyon views or rev it up like an F1 racer. My bestie and I each took a lap, and by the end, our palms were sweaty but our smiles were unstoppable ✨ **Third Stop: Rafting (This Summer’s Most Epic Achievement)** The highlight! Gulong Gorge’s rafting has insane drops, and the splash of cold water cuts right through your sunscreen. Our screams nearly shook the valley, and even soaked to the bone at the finish line, we just wanted to go *ten more times*! **🍽️ Food: Riverside Farmhouse Feast + Steamed Chicken** After all that fun, drive just 1 km to a riverside farmhouse— Sit on bamboo chairs by the water, munching on chicken legs to the sound of flowing streams. The poultry is freshly caught and cooked! (Must-try: Qingyuan chicken + roasted goose—absolutely *divine*~) **🏡 Stay: James Joyce Coffetel (Bringing Cinematic Vibes to Life)** The most anticipated part of the day—checking into a "retro movie heroine’s dream room"! ✅ **Lobby Vibes on Point**: Maroon walls + metal sconces, every corner is Instagram-worthy. ✅ **Room Details to Die For**: A large balcony with wicker chairs for enjoying the night breeze with watermelon; separate bathroom and shower for convenience; vintage lamps + ballet/Eiffel Tower wall art—so romantic you’ll want to snap *100 photos* on the spot! ✅ **Hidden Gem: The First-Floor Café!** Sip a hot latte before bed, the aroma blending with old vinyl tunes—instant relaxation. Special shoutout to the *bed*! Perfect firmness, like being hugged by clouds—you could lounge here *all day*. Breakfast is *next-level*: sticky rice chicken buns bursting with juice, freshly baked cakes you’ll lick the plate for, and stir-fried noodles so fragrant the aroma fills half the street! **📌 Verdict: Qingyuan Summer Must-Do!** Gulong Gorge’s splashes + James Joyce’s coffee aroma— Highly recommend for a trip that’s wild, delicious, and cozy. 📍 **Address**: James Joyce Coffetel (Qingyuan California Garden Branch) (Just *25 minutes* from Gulong Gorge!)

🏖️Check-in attractions: Chimelong Forest Kingdom, Qingyuan This trip mainly visited Chimelong Forest Kingdom, Qingyuan. We arranged to visit the park all day on Saturday. The theme of Chimelong, Qingyuan is the great migration of African animals. There are many kinds of animals in the park. Most of them can be seen up close. There are self-funded feeding projects to participate in. 🚇Transportation: A group of seven people gathered at Shenzhen North Station after work on Friday night. Take the high-speed rail from Shenzhen North to Qingyuan. It takes about 1 hour to arrive. It takes about 30 minutes from Qingyuan High-speed Railway Station to the hotel (in the city) It takes about 35 minutes from the hotel to Chimelong 🍜Special food: You must eat sauna chicken when you come to Qingyuan 🏠Accommodation recommendation 1. James Joyce Hotel (Qingyuan Qingcheng California Garden Branch) The front desk is happy to provide assistance. We have three rooms in total.

🏨 The lobby has many sofas and private small meeting rooms. The decoration is in a Western classical style. You will receive a coffee coupon when you check in. It is usually Americano, but you can pay extra to change it to a coconut latte, etc. However, it seems that it is not expensive to buy one separately. The room I stayed in was upgraded. It has a 2-meter bed + large window. The window overlooks a residential area. It is very quiet at night. The curtains are very good at blocking out light. I think the room decoration and service are good. The table and chairs in the room are very large, and the bedside table is also very wide. I like this. The lighting there is very good. In addition, the hotel check-out time is 2pm! This is great for those who like to sleep in. We waited too long for a table when we were eating out, so they extended our check-out time to 3pm for free. Recommended food nearby ⭐️There is a supermarket next to the main entrance. There is a bakery at the other exit. The Portuguese egg tarts are delicious. I bought four (buy three get one free) before going to a concert. They still tasted good after they cooled down. ⭐️Across the alley opposite the hotel is "Yingying Food". It is very simple, delicious steamed dim sum, porridge. I have had corn cakes and chicken feet before, they were very good. It is very convenient to go there for a late-night snack. The opening hours are 19:30-01:00. ⭐️A 10-minute walk will take you to "Chao Ran Yipin Sauna Chicken". I think this was the best meal I had this time! I ordered a set meal for two + a portion of beef. The average cost per person was only 40. I was very satisfied and full. The chicken was very crispy. After eating the chicken, you must drink the soup underneath. It is very delicious. The chicken bones in it are also very fragrant with soy sauce. But you have to queue during meal times. We waited for 1 hour on Monday at noon. If you want to eat, try to go early to get a number.
