Citadines Guangzhou Panyu Yuejie Apartment Hotel
After seeing too many crowded National Day holidays, we decided to spend a free, and even "lazy" National Day holiday in Guangzhou. On a breezy morning, A Yu said,"Mom, I want to see the big garden", and we started a two-day and one-night self-driving tour in Panyu, Guangzhou.

Our first stop was what A Yu called the "big garden"-"Yu Yinshanfang". "Yuyin Shanfang" is a private garden owned by Wu Bin, a ruler of the Qing Dynasty. It is also one of the four famous gardens in the Pearl River Delta. It has a history of more than 150 years. Although the courtyard is small, it is extremely exquisite and unique in design. There is a view step by step, and there are different views from every angle, up, left and right.

A Yu was at an age when he was eager for knowledge. He pulled me along the way and asked me what flowers and trees they were, why there was a statue of a bird here, and why this window was different from that window... Looking at his face full of question marks, A Yu couldn't help but feel the trance of "my family has a young girl who has just grown up."

Due to the urbanization process and the development of science and technology, Ayu's generation of children who are associated with electronic products can easily suffer from "natural deficiency syndrome". In order to avoid this situation, I will try my best to take Ayu for outdoor activities and get close to nature. "Oxygen Bar in Panyu" Dafushan Forest Park is a place we often go for hiking. Compared with playing at home, A Yu prefers to run and fly kites on the grass of the forest park and enjoy her childhood like an energetic little angel.

For accommodation, we chose the "Citadines Guangzhou Panyu Yuejie Apartment Hotel" owned by Ascott, which opened in July this year. The apartment is located in the geometric center of Panyu New City, close to Xinguang Expressway, and the transportation is very convenient. It is only about 15 minutes 'drive from Changlong Tourist Resort. Whether it is many famous scenic spots in Panyu such as Dafushan Forest Park, Yuyin Shanfang, Lianhua Mountain, Shawan Ancient Town, or Guangzhou's transportation hub-Guangzhou South Railway Station, it is located around the property. It can be easily reached within a 30-minute drive, truly realizing the personalized lifestyle of "living in Panyu and enjoying the excitement".

The overall design style of the apartment is exquisite and high-quality Nordic style, which is very simple, natural and humane. We mentioned that we would bring children to the hotel when booking, but we didn't expect to receive such a thoughtful surprise arrangement. When Ah Yu saw Mr. Rhino on the bed, he was so happy that he took off. He held Mr. Rhino and was about to play the "Piggy Page" game with me. He jumped on the "Hopscotch" carpet as if he had gone wild. At that moment, he couldn't help but call for the considerate service of the apartment. I really understand the thoughts of children.

As a hotel-style apartment, the room is equipped with fully equipped kitchen utensils, which is very suitable for people who love to cook or need to cook complementary food for their baby. The room is decorated in a modern and simple style, and the color matching is very comfortable. The room has a large activity area and is mostly decorated with cloth, which allows Ah Yu to let go and play without worrying about bumps. The suite we stayed in was equipped with a washing machine to meet the basic needs of travel. It was really like home.

The apartment is also equipped with a fully equipped fitness center, children's playground, outdoor leisure promenade and public activity areas, making it completely feel like you are in your own community. Different from hotels, serviced apartments are more focused on building a home-like community. The large activity space and irregular guest activities will allow guests who live together to establish connections and get along like friends in the community. Because the apartment has a lot of space and is relatively quiet, when I need to travel for a long time, a serviced apartment will be my first choice.

As a hot mom, a children's playground is a basic requirement for choosing a hotel while traveling. I would directly ignore hotels without children's parks. Perhaps due to the size of the venue, the children's playground of Citadines Guangzhou Panyu Yuejie Apartment Hotel is located about 30 meters away from the hotel's main entrance. You need to go to the front desk to get your tickets to enter the park. I originally thought the outdoor park was a bit troublesome, but after seeing the rich amusement facilities, I could completely accept it. After all, having fun is more important! Let Ah Yu and I be children today!

I have always been very particular about eating! After checking in to the hotel, I looked around the surrounding restaurants for our dinner. I didn't expect the hotel to have a very popular restaurant in Panyu,"Martin's Restaurant". It is very popular in public reviews, has been recommended by many diners, and has also appeared on food shows. I must try this!

Based on everyone's recommendations, we ordered the gold medal original braised squab pigeon with the highest scores, Martin's lemon tea and some recommended dishes. The squab really amazes me. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. The juice explodes in my mouth when I take a bite, and the aroma fills my mouth. Even I usually eat a few more bites of the squab fish. No wonder so many people specialize in checking in! After eating the fragrant squab, take a sip of refreshing lemon tea to satisfy ~

It is worth mentioning that the restaurant staff have a very good service attitude. When serving, they will remind them that the dishes are hot and will patiently answer all kinds of strange questions from A Yu. As a hot mom, I think this love for children is stronger than anything else.

Draw a key point! The apartment is just across the road from IKEA! It was a big surprise for me who loves shopping for gadgets at IKEA! After a comfortable sleep, A Yu and I started our IKEA shopping journey! Although Ah Yu is young, she already has a lot of ideas of her own. I like asking Ah Yu to help choose items and tell her why she chose this item. From the simple "I like it" at the beginning to the current "I need it because...", she will give me a different surprise every time.

The apartment is also only a 15-minute drive from Ayu's favorite Chimelong Theme Park! If you don't want to drive there, you can also take the hotel's free shuttle bus to Chimelong Theme Park, which is super convenient!

This time, because of A Yu's one-sentence journey, my previous understanding of hotel apartments was subverted, and I also planted grass at Citadines Panyu Yuejie Apartment Hotel in Guangzhou. It was a journey full of surprises. With its excellent location and considerate service, this will be my first choice for future travel!
