Legend has it that there is a mountain in Yinghong Town, Yingde City, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. At the foot of the mountain lived a scholar who failed the exam many times. He couldn't stand the collusion between the village overlord and the salt merchants, which made salt more expensive than rice. He wanted to help the people.

He wrote a petition to impeachment, and finally the petition was successful.

In order to commemorate the scholar, the villagers named the mountain Xiucai Mountain.

The shape of Xiucai Mountain looks like a pen stand, and the lake at the foot of the mountain is exactly the shape of an inkstone. The pen stand and the inkstone are combined into one, connecting the mountains and rivers, forming a geomantic treasure.

Aoyuan Chocolate Town, a unique chocolate kingdom in China, is built between the east and west reservoirs of Yinghong Town, surrounding "Xiucai Mountain".

It is said that the construction investment of the entire town cost 15 billion, which is truly a heavy investment.

The Chocolate Kingdom covers an area of ??about 8,000 acres. Entering from the entrance village, you will pass the Chocolate Factory, Sugar Cloud Country, Milk River Country, Tea and Chocolate Town, Yingde Spring Forest Water World, and Yingde Aoyuan Hilton DoubleTree Resort

Hotel etc.

This is the largest chocolate culture exhibition base in Asia and the only tourist resort in China that integrates natural hot springs, black tea culture, leisure and entertainment, and themed vacations.

How popular is Chocolate Kingdom? It is said that it will open on December 31st. There will be an electronic music band and fireworks that night, but before the opening time, the tickets are almost sold out, and even the rooms are almost booked.

It can be said that all people in Guangdong are looking forward to the day when it opens!

We took advantage of the holiday to drive to the Chocolate Town to have a look.

1. I came to the world in a fairy tale. Because the Chocolate Town has not yet opened, projects such as the Chocolate Factory and Milk River Country have not yet opened, but just from the outside, I can’t wait to go in and play.

The entire town has a strong European castle style. Once you enter the village, it is like entering a world in a fairy tale.

The most eye-catching sign at the entrance to the village is a colorful Ferris wheel. You can sit on the Ferris wheel to overlook the chocolate town.

There are also cocoa tribes, cocoa forests, etc. inside.

Chocolate lovers will definitely find elements of chocolate here.

Little girls probably like Tangyun Kingdom the most. The sweet buildings and pink colors make it seem like they have walked into a princess’s castle, perfectly realizing the princess dream of tourists.

There is also a chocolate factory, where it is said that you can make chocolate by yourself.

As a person who likes travel photography, you will definitely not miss the castle architecture of Naoxi Country.

The castle is dotted with chocolate elements. No matter how you shoot it, it feels like you are in a fairy tale. I used a drone to appreciate the gorgeous beauty of the castle up close.

Next to Milki Kingdom are some amusement equipment. It is said that there are more than 30 kinds of amusement equipment. Young people who like adventure and seek excitement will definitely find amusement rides here.

There are also some milder games, which are very suitable for families to travel together.

The Chocolate Kingdom is a tourist attraction where you can feel the innocence and fun of children.

Before these amusement facilities open, tourists can still come to Chocolate Town to enjoy hot springs and delicious food.

2. Soak in a hot spring. The purpose of our trip to Chocolate Town is to enjoy hot springs and delicious food.

Whenever the weather gets colder, Cantonese people enjoy taking hot spring baths.

Quanlin Water World covers an area of ??about 20,000 square meters and has a six-sense themed bathing pool and a British stone themed bathing pool.

The real hot springs in Guangdong are concentrated in Qingyuan, Zengcheng and other places. The hot spring water here is rich in elements beneficial to the human body. During holidays, Guangzhou people will drive their cars and bring their families here to enjoy the hot spring life.

Many tourists still don’t know that although the Chocolate Kingdom has not opened, the Tea and Chocolate Town and the DoubleTree Hilton Resort have opened. Food and accommodation are very convenient. As long as you book a room here, you can enjoy the hot springs for free.

Therefore, when we came here to travel, there were really few tourists, and it was like the entire hot spring area was taken over.

The natural hot spring water here can reach a maximum temperature of 70 degrees, and the water temperature in each pool is maintained at the most comfortable temperature for the human body, about 40 degrees.

The whole body is soaked in the warm hot spring water, which is really comfortable for all four bodies.

The service staff was also very attentive. They handed us towels and brought tea, which was very considerate.

In the summer, you can also play in the cold pool at Water World. I heard that there is a surf pool where you can feel the power of the waves.

3. Stay one night at Ogilvy & Mather Yinghong Inn. My neighbors have been looking forward to the opening of the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton in the Chocolate Kingdom for a long time. In fact, it has been open for two months.
