However, if you want to find an interesting place to walk your baby, you really need fate and good physical fitness (you are tired with your baby, especially when you are 2 years old).
Finally, last weekend, I got up the courage to drive my children for an outing.
The destination this time is 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou, and the distance to Shanghai and Nanjing is almost 150 kilometers. Postal areas in Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang used to be quite convenient.
Surrounded by bamboos, the forest coverage rate of the village is over 70%. You can see rice fields, vegetable gardens and children's wooden swings and seesaws nearby, and you can also see bamboo forests, tea fields and egrets flying from time to time in the distance.
This is a bit like the scene depicted in "Little Forest".
Brainstorming, the location of "small forest"
Speaking of which, have you guessed what I'm going to say today?
There is no suspense. The place to talk about today is Miaoshan Village, Wuxing District, Huzhou City.
On weekends, I prefer to take my baby to the countryside to play. First of all, I also like to stay in the country and feel quiet. Secondly, the natural scenery in the countryside is good, and children can play in a vast space.
For example, I suddenly ran out of the camera.
Huzhou is really a model (or originator) of beautiful countryside's construction. From Moganshan to Deqing and Anji, there are various ecological villages with excellent supporting facilities, brand hotels and many parent-child parks, which are very suitable for short-distance holidays.
So I go to Huzhou every year. There are too many snacks in Huzhou! Before the outing, there was a forgotten food town pushed by Taihu Lake. This summer, it should debut.
But even so, I don't know the existence of Miaoshan Village. I went there entirely because of the hotel I was going to stay at on weekends: Huixin Valley, which is in that village.
After getting off the expressway, I drove all the way along 306 County Road. My first feeling is that the road is good and there are mountains all around. After passing through the signboard of Cisse Mountain Resort, it is getting closer and closer to Miaoshan Village.
I can't shoot while driving. This is a map of the official website.
Next, I saw some landmark rural buildings. For example, in this park, the cranes in the middle are all "self-contained" for 24 hours (I saw them when I went back the next night).
I feel a little cute from a distance.
Further on, you will see uniform vegetable fields and feel that each vegetable grows almost the same height.
In the central area of the vegetable garden, there are even children's swings! ! After seeing it, I really want to park my car on the side of the road and let the baby play in it. After hesitating for a few seconds, I found there was no place to park, so I continued to drive.
Swing in the vegetable garden
Almost ten minutes later, I saw the sign of Giraffe Manor.
Further, I didn't expect to be surprised. There is an air path in the rice field near the village.
Seen from a distance, it looks good. The bridge is decorated with bamboo and undulates. It feels a bit like the bamboo forest architecture I saw in Yucun before.
This path twists and turns, connecting a high observation deck, which is about one kilometer long, so I can't help but stop and have a look.
The paths in Miaoshan Village are well laid out. Pedestrians walk on it, there are guardrails on both sides, and there is a bicycle lane below, where you can ride.
Even on weekends, there are few people here. Maybe they have just established a new relationship.
You can see various rural landscapes along the way, such as rice fields and bamboo forests; Paths are intimately indicated by arrows, and they are also marked with English notes!
The children will love it here, and he will point to the pattern of cycling street and ask me what it is.
The feeling of riding the street is soft, next to the vegetable field. The little guy is very fresh here. He will explore himself without hugging at all (my baby likes to step on roads with different textures).
We didn't walk all the way, because we still have to check in at the hotel, but we really feel that the open public area of the village is very good, and the villagers will be very happy to walk here every day.
Opposite the plank road, there is also a vegetable garden and children's play facilities under construction.
I can't help feeling: Miaoshan Village is a village where you can stop and play with children everywhere!
Miaoshan village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by tea fields and bamboo forests. There are not many hotels and homestays here, but the quality is quite good. For example, Huixin Valley Green Luxury Resort, Sisai Mountain Resort Mushu Hotel, and twenty houses.
There is also Giraffe Manor, an online celebrity, which is one of the few places in China to move the zoo into the hotel (although it is a bit pitted).
I live in Huixin Valley Green Luxury Resort. Before I went, I didn't expect much from this hotel.
Because in recent years, with the development of homestays and resorts, all kinds of wooden houses, thatched houses, residential houses, tree houses and antique buildings flock around Hangzhou.
In fact, many of them just made a good-looking shape, and the service and catering didn't keep up.
But after I stayed, I felt "really fragrant".
It is a hotel halfway up the mountain, built according to the mountain situation and embedded in bamboo forests. According to the different scenery, it can be divided into teahouse, bamboo house and mountain house.
I prefer this operation. It feels like "planting a house" in the forest.
This time, my room is a bamboo house, which is also halfway up the mountain (the hotel has 27 rooms and 63 single-family villas on the mountain).
Before I come, the housekeeper will confirm with me in advance the activities I need to participate in, the time when I arrive at the store and whether I need to eat. When I arrive, I can always ask the housekeeper for any questions.
All the trips are by golf shuttle bus, which basically takes a few minutes, and the service experience is quite good.
The living room type is also super good. It is a two-bedroom villa, especially suitable for family travel. After entering the door, you will come to the small living room on the second floor, which will be equipped with a sink.
There are tea drinks, welcome fruits, disinfection cabinets (all kinds of tea sets and coffee utensils), a single person sofa and a small multi-person sofa with a tray.
This small area is very practical.
On the one hand, you can put some luggage, on the other hand, it will be more convenient to make milk powder for your child, on the other hand, you can drink some tea and read some books while your baby is sleeping.
The books and tea sets it chooses are really my interest. When staying in a hotel, I actually pay more attention to details and aesthetics.
At night, after turning off the lights, I can still see the silhouette of bamboo in the gauze curtain.
Entering the room from the living room, the layout of the room is actually relatively simple, and the overall tone is quite soft.
The focus of the room is not the bed, but a large French window in the room.
Pushing open the door, I found a large terrace hidden outside.
Everywhere you look, there are patches of bamboo forests. It is said that the whole hotel covers an area of 300 mu, only 1 1 mu is for construction, and the rest are bamboo forests and tea gardens, so it is particularly artistic to sit there.
In addition, the bathroom matching the room is very large and spacious. Cosmetic mirrors are all big screens, which makes girls happier.
There seems to be nothing special about toiletries, such as smart toilets, which have many functions, but I don't care too much.
The other room, on the first floor, will feel particularly transparent after going down the stairs, and the floor is very high.
The privacy between the two floors is very good, which is quite important.
The second floor can directly lead to the large terrace on the first floor, and both rooms can be locked separately.
There is a smiley face symbol on the door handle.
The rooms on the first floor are also relatively simple. Their bed doesn't seem too big, but the best place is to have huge floor-to-ceiling glass, so you can see the scenery when you go out.
The room also has a living room, which is more suitable for family members to chat together.
The outdoor space on the first floor is larger than that on the second floor. There is a group of green bamboo chairs outside. It is comfortable to sit outdoors in warm weather.
In the eyes of my children, this seems to be a tunnel that can be drilled.
On the whole, I feel comfortable living here. Indoor and outdoor functional areas are reasonably divided, and there are quite a lot of activity spaces. The best must be the design of the terrace, because it really embraces nature 360 degrees.
However, it may be limited by the area, so the bed will be a little smaller, and it seems that no children's products are provided.
These are not too big problems. I feel that it is worthy of the name and conforms to its "green luxury" positioning.
In addition, the public area of the hotel is not bad.
It uses a lot of huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass, so that people can see the vast mountains and forests when eating breakfast, drinking coffee and practicing yoga.
We all eat in Natsume Restaurant on the second floor. I specially searched the public comments, and this restaurant should be the highest star in the surrounding restaurants.
We will also pass a bamboo path leading to the restaurant.
The scenery of the whole restaurant is also very pleasing to the eye, and you can always find some beautiful little details.
I think it's good. There are many kinds of breakfast, such as wonton and noodles (noodles in Huzhou are delicious), and some regional characteristics, such as Huzhou rice.
For dinner, it's an appointment, and the waiter will arrange a seat for you.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is also relatively relaxed, and the second floor is an open hall.
There are many analogies to choose from, as well as various characteristic farm dishes.
We ordered a cold dish, an orange shrimp, a pork ribs, bamboo shoots and papaya soup, and a bowl of Huzhou handmade noodles, totaling 357.
Generally speaking, it is not particularly delicious, but the taste is ok.
Of course, the restaurant also has a large terrace. It has an outdoor dining place and an endless small swimming pool. Of course, in winter, everyone just goes out to have a look and then comes in to eat.
The most beautiful public area of the hotel should be its genting space. This is on the top of the mountain. At night, it not only overlooks the whole hotel, but also has an area dedicated to watching the stars.
If the weather is fine, it is easy to see the Milky Way here.
Genting space can also practice yoga. In the hotel's special activities, there are sunrise yoga and sunset yoga, and guests' participation is free. (except private courses)
If you come in summer, you can also practice outdoors.

In addition, the hotel also designed the outdoor space of "Little Adventurer" for children. This place is more suitable for children aged 2- 10, but not too young.
Mainly some rock climbing facilities plus slides and trampolines.
There is a special children's zip line project in the bamboo forest, with a coach, but an appointment is needed (this is a self-funded project).
Although there is not much space, it is enough to play everyday.
The children's activity area is at the foot of the mountain. When the ground lights up at night, the roads here are beautiful, and you can take them for a walk.
Finally, to sum up, I really think Huixin Valley is quite suitable for family holidays. Its environment is really good, and the overall layout and facilities are reasonable, and the hotel's aesthetics are really good.
It's worth planting grass, but the price of calendar room is still quite expensive now. You can wait for a good price in the future.
Miaoxi Town, where Miaoshan Village is located, has many hiking spots. For example, Lu Yu Ancient Road (also known as Xiamushan Ancient Road) was selected as one of the top ten ancient roads in China. There are also Miao Feng, Egret Valley and Natsume Mountain Scenic Area. ...
Before coming, the hotel housekeeper sent us a list of activities, which basically included nearby attractions.
However, these may be more suitable for adults. Besides, I didn't seem to want to go out when I stayed in the hotel, so I only went to Giraffe Manor after checking out the next day.
Giraffe Manor, a scenic spot in Celebrity on the Internet, really makes children happy and adults desperate.
Its fare is 120 yuan, and the public comment is 90 yuan. It doesn't look very expensive, but it is not very friendly to non-local residents, and there are many invisible consumption.
For example, the battery car entering the scenic spot is charged (10 yuan/person), so it is about 1 km.
Carrots in scenic spots are very expensive, only a few in 30 yuan, and only a few in 20 yuan. All kinds of encouragement encourage you to feed birds, cormorants and raccoons ... I feel that animal breeding is really profiteering.
In addition, the children's play area of Giraffe Manor also needs extra charge (30 yuan/person), and the indoor and outdoor areas are also charged separately. Even the doll machine was invested in 100 yuan, but it was not caught.
This kind of admission fee, the consumer experience is too bad, it is not as good as the all-inclusive price.
The restaurant says Ha 'erbing handmade dumplings. Therefore, you can often see aunts coming to the freezer to get quick-frozen curry rice from jiaozi and 58 yuan. The side dishes are really a little.
In short, I felt like a harvested leek when I came.
And all the way is uphill and downhill, and there are too many climbing roads. I am really exhausted here (I want to cry when I hold the baby).
As far as the environment is concerned, it is really good. However, few places can see the tickets for 90 yuan. Except for some giraffes at the entrance, there is only one cute pet tribe (I feel this name is wrong, obviously it is a wild animal).
There are silly kangaroos and toucans ... the park is relatively open, and peacocks and ostriches are walking nearby.
If you stay in a hotel of this size, it's really a plus.
But if you feed it too much, you will feel very delicate, especially giraffes. When you see carrots, you will bend over and stick out your long black tongue, so that you can consciously enter the mirror to cooperate with tourists' photo service.
If you ask me, how about living here? I really don't want to live here. Because the public area of the hotel is open, there will be many tourists, and it will be crowded to visit the zoo on weekends.
After all, accommodation here is not cheap.
And I have seen some rooms in Giraffe Manor, each with an area of about 40 square meters. There are mountain views and bamboo views, but the terrain may be lower, and the landscape of Huixin Valley is better.
As a one-day tourist, it costs more than 400 yuan to eat light meals (154)+ tickets (180)+2 bags of carrots and 1 bag of apples (80) in three hours.
If you drive to visit this scenic spot, I still don't recommend it.
Originally, I wanted to play by myself and didn't want to bring my works, but Miaoshan Village is really worth recommending to everyone. When the tea garden here is green and wild flowers are in full bloom in spring, it should be more beautiful.
At that time, you can go hiking in Natsume Mountain.
You can go to Liang Xi Forest Park to enjoy flowers.
You can go to Egret Valley to see Egrets playing and peach blossoms.
This village is very interesting. You really don't have to interact with giraffes.
