If I once again describe how beautiful Guilin’s landscape is, there must be a very serious suspicion of paddling. After all, Guilin’s landscape alone has long been world-famous. I come to Guilin again and again, and I bring my little meat buns to the green mountains and green waters here. In fact, I am no longer just for the mountains and waters here, not just to see the scenery here.
This time I brought the little meat bun to Guilin, just to experience the different happiness and beauty in the beautiful mountains and rivers here.
I heard that there is a parent-child summer camp in Guilin Shangri-La, so I decided to bring Little Roubao here and spend three days and two nights with him in the beautiful place.
D1
The high-speed train from Guangzhou to Guilin took more than two hours. The little meat bun who was always used to taking a nap may have been looking out the window on the high-speed train because of anticipation and excitement. The green mountains and green waters, I look forward to my next journey.
When we arrived at Shangri-La, it was already evening. The passion fruit juice, a specialty of Guangxi, has been prepared on the pick-up car. The sour and sweet cold passion fruit juice can eliminate the fatigue of the journey and the heat of summer.
When we arrived at Shangri-La, Little Roubao was immediately attracted by the big human-shaped mascot. There are many fish in the Li River, so there is also the custom of fishing here. What’s more special is that in Guilin, it is customary to use osprey to catch fish, so Shangri-La also uses the osprey as its mascot.
The big LULU is made into a cartoon image, which is very cute. LULU will also greet children attending the summer camp in the hotel lobby.
When I came here, I happened to encounter the bamboo pole dance in the lobby. Bamboo pole dance is a specialty of the ethnic minorities in Guangxi. Here, you can see ethnic minority actors wearing distinctive costumes and beating bamboo poles on the ground. Children can jump in the bamboo poles and feel the charm of ethnic minority dances.
Room
After dancing the bamboo pole dance, Xiao Rou Bao and I returned to the executive balcony room we booked this time. The executive terrace room on the second floor is very large. There is also a large terrace in the room. From the terrace, you can see the green mountains and green waters in the distance, the Li River flowing in front of the hotel, and the beautiful mountains beside the Li River. .
There are also tea tables, deck chairs, swing chairs and other facilities on the terrace. Make a cup of tea on the terrace, or sit on the swing and watch the sunset dye the horizon. Golden yellow is also a very romantic thing.
In addition to the comfortable big bed, there is also a large children's tent in the room. For Little Roubao, the small tent is his little world. Even at night, Little Roubao would rather I was sleeping alone in the tent, leaving me behind.
The facilities in the bathroom are also very satisfactory. The wet and dry separation is very convenient, and there is also a large bathtub. Whether it is Xiaoroubao playing in the water at night or me taking a comfortable bubble bath, It can make the spirit very relaxed.
Welcome desserts are also prepared in the room. There are various desserts such as poplar nectar, turtle paste, durian cake, etc., which will make you feel sweet when you enter the room.
What’s even more surprising is that the pastry chef made the chocolate into the shape of Guilin’s mountain and added various decorations, and I don’t know when the hotel got a photo of me and the little meat bun. Serve over white chocolate in this dessert.
The moment I saw my photo, I was really surprised. The small chocolate even made me reluctant to eat it, and I looked forward to taking it home.
There is also a LULU doll prepared in the room. The name of Little Roubao is embroidered on the doll. Little Roubao is holding his own LULU, which may be the only one in the world, which is holding the happiness that belongs to him. and happiness.
Dinner at Shang Palace
After putting away the luggage with the little meat buns, the dinner on the first night was arranged at the Shang Palace Chinese Restaurant here.
In fact, all Chinese restaurants in Shangri-La hotels in China have the same name, and the Shangri-La and Shang Palace in each place have an antique decoration style. It will also incorporate local specialties and make improvements to give the local specialties a different feel.
Beer fish
If you say the most famous delicacy in Guilin, it must be beer fish. The clear Lijiang River produces a variety of fish. The fish grown in the high-quality water source have tender and sweet meat.
Beer fish uses a special sauce, and the most important thing is to pour beer. The beer will make the fish more tender and bring out the fresh flavor of the fish. The beer used for the beer fish here is Shangri-La's own beer, which has a more refreshing taste.
Snail soup
I have always been a person who likes to drink soup. This soup uses snails grown in Lijiang. They are huge and about the size of table tennis balls. The meat is plumper, firmer and more flavorful.
The soup contains cold melon and meatballs. It is fresh and sweet with the bitter taste of cold melon, which is especially suitable for cooling off in the summer.
Mangosteen braised pork
Mangosteen is a specialty of Guangxi. Mangosteen is very sweet and has excellent medicinal value. Paired with braised pork, the refreshing taste of Luo Han Guo makes the braised pork less greasy and becomes more refreshing.
The braised pork can be eaten with Momo Tou, which will also make the taste richer.
Roasted pork
In fact, roasted pork is a very familiar dish to Cantonese people, but I didn’t expect that when I come to Shangri-La in Guilin, roasted pork also has quite a surprise.
The skin of the roasted pork is crispy and very tasty. Every bite is very sweet.
Moxa leaf cake
Children can also participate in making this dish.
Ai is a traditional Chinese medicine. It has a sweet fragrance and has the effect of removing moisture.
Children can make mugwort cake by themselves under the guidance of the chef here, and then steam it immediately. They can taste the mugwort cake made by themselves, which is also a very special way for small meat buns. It feels great.
Shang Palace’s other dishes are also very exquisite and delicious. Savoring a delicious meal during your trip is a small happiness in your trip.
Parent-child SPA
Although the trip from Guangzhou to Guilin was not long, it was still quite tiring. So I came to the SPA center here with Xiao Roubao in the evening to have a parent-child SPA.
In fact, I have experienced many spas, but there are very few parent-child spas. Little Roubao can also enjoy a comfortable SPA in the parent-child SPA to relax body and mind.
When you come to the SPA center, you will first close your eyes, choose an essential oil that suits you, and then perform a tantric ritual to completely open your body and mind.
When you come to the room, it is very big. The large bathtub has already prepared a warm bubble bath. You can take a bath with the little meat bun first and then go to the comfortable SPA.
Needless to say the process of SPA. The masseurs are skilled in gestures and will focus on taking care of the most tired parts of the body. With the essential oils chosen by themselves, the body is perfectly relaxed.
After the SPA, we returned to the room and fell asleep in the sweet air of Guilin. The fresh air here made sleep especially sweet,

In the sweetness Wake up from sleep, the next day’s summer camp trip has officially begun!
Tai Chi
Getting up in the morning is of course the best time to exercise.
Tai Chi has always been the quintessence of China. Looking at the slow movements, it can exercise every muscle in the body. In conjunction with breathing, every part of the body can be exercised with every breath. .
The garden of Shangri-La is very comfortable, and they also specially invited professional Tai Chi masters. Under the guidance of the teacher, Xiao Roubao and I were exposed to this Chinese quintessence in the fresh air here, and exercised in the sunshine. , very fresh.
The morning sun is warm, and the not harsh sunshine falls on the body. The warm sunshine is very comfortable.
After a Tai Chi workout, it’s perfect to start the day with a sumptuous breakfast buffet.
There are many local delicacies for breakfast. From Guilin rice noodles to mugwort cake, local delicacies are always particularly attractive. There is no shortage of Western-style delicacies for breakfast. Come with a delicacy and a cup of fragrant coffee, and your day's itinerary will be full of energy.
Feeding animals
Next, it’s time to temporarily separate from Little Meat Bun! There are professional summer camp teachers in Shangri-La, and children will follow the teachers to experience different small projects here.
In Shangri-La, there is a small zoo with pigeons, ostriches, peacocks, rabbits and other small animals. And it has its own incubator. Many small animals are born, hatched and grew up here, so they are also very close to humans.
Here, Little Meat Bun can take food that various small animals like and feed it to various small animals here. Moreover, you can also put the feed in your little palm, and the pigeons will gather around you. The pigeons begging for food are very interesting.
Little Farm
Shangri-La is a hotel that advocates green and environmental protection.
So there is also a small farm here, and the vegetables used in the employee canteen are all produced by this farm.
Here, Little Meat Bun can hold a small tool, choose the vegetables he likes, and plant them into a small cultivation box under the guidance of the teacher.
Plant a small seed here, plant hope, water it, and then insert a sign with your name on it. If you return to Guilin Shangri-La in the future, you may be able to see that your seeds have grown up and bear fruit.
Rock Climbing
Here, the little meat bag can also challenge a brave sport - rock climbing.
There are professional rock climbing teachers in Shangri-La who will fasten safety belts for children and guide them to the top of the wall.
During the rock climbing process, Little Roubao’s courage was tested quite a bit, and being able to climb to the top gave him an incomparable sense of satisfaction!
Lunch Li Coffee Buffet
For lunch, we arranged to enjoy a sumptuous buffet at Li Coffee.
The buffet has a lot of delicious food, and all kinds of fresh sashimi are definitely the favorite of the meat bun dad. From salmon to squid to octopus, you can choose your favorite ingredients and let the chef cut them out immediately. Simply add wasabi and soy sauce and they are already very delicious.
There are also seafood cold cuts, fresh shrimps, delicious snails, plump mussels, all available in unlimited quantities.
In addition to seafood, the chef’s skills can also be seen in various cooked foods with different cooking styles. Large pieces of steak, delicious roast chicken, Peking duck, all kinds of meat can definitely satisfy the needs of carnivores.
Have a dessert at the end of lunch, and you will feel happy instantly.
Afternoon tea in the room
The sunshine in the afternoon was a bit harsh, so I simply stayed in the room to avoid the most brutal period of the sun.
The room has a large terrace. It is very pleasant to order an afternoon tea and enjoy the delicious snacks on the terrace while looking at the green mountains and green water outside.
Just in the cool place of the room, watching the clouds gathering and dispersing on the green mountains, watching the bamboo rafts floating by on the Li River, and watching the local children playing in the water on the shore, such time passed very quickly and was also becomes very slow.
Afternoon tea is also very exquisite, with pastries, macarons, fruits and jelly. They are all made into shapes that Little Meat Bun likes. The cartoon-shaped food even makes Little Meat Bun reluctant to eat.
Afternoon tea at the swimming pool
Escaped from the most scorching sunshine, Xiaorou Bao and I came to the swimming pool here in the afternoon. The swimming pool at Guilin Shangri-La has two parts: indoor and outdoor.
The indoor swimming pool is a standard size and has been slightly modified. The diving area is very convenient even for children. For sports experts, swimming here is definitely a very suitable choice.
And the swimming pool is designed with large floor-to-ceiling glass, so you can directly see the scenery outside the window and see the sunlight shining in, giving the swimming pool a different color.
What is even more lively is the outdoor swimming pool here. The swimming pool is in the garden, and the garden-style design is very comfortable.
There is even a children's pool specially set up. The water is only about knee-deep, and even the youngest children can enjoy the fun of splashing in the water here.
The swimming pool is equipped with various facilities such as floating blankets and lifeboats, making it more colorful and interesting for children.
I ordered an afternoon tea. The afternoon tea in the basket can float on the water. I can enjoy the exquisite snacks while swimming and feel the cool water here. It is a small blessing to be here. ...
Poolside BBQ
I chose the poolside barbecue for dinner. Just beside the pool, the chef placed various ingredients and beer.
There are many barbecue delicacies, from sea shrimps and oysters to various meats and vegetables. The rich ingredients paired with refreshing beer make the night bright and confusing.
From the setting sun to the bright moon, watching the various brilliance reflected in the swimming pool, combined with the food on the table, what makes me intoxicated is not only the alcohol, but perhaps more the beautiful scenery here.
And the hotel also arranged a bartending show. The handsome bartender threw various bottles into the air, and finally made colorful cocktails. The sweet and sour cocktails are even for people who are not used to drinking. It can also be accepted easily.
Cinema
There is a small cinema in the hotel. The cinema is actually quite large, but because it is all equipped with beanbags, it can only accommodate a small number of people.
Here, Little Meat Bun is lying on a comfortable sofa, watching his favorite "Toy Story" and the funny Woody and Buzz Lightyear, while I, lying on the sofa, don't know what to do. I have already fallen asleep...
D3
The last day in Shangri-La, Guilin, of course has a full schedule.
After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast with Xiaoroubao in the morning, he and I took a small train in the garden for a small train tour.
Although I have already experienced many projects here, it is also a very interesting experience to get on the small train and circle around the garden.
Afterwards, you can go to the Li River through the side door of the hotel, walk on the stone beach here, take off your shoes, and feel the coolness of the Li River water.
Many locals wash clothes here, and children are playing in the water, which is enough to see how excellent the water quality here is.
There is a small amusement park in the garden. When filming "Running Man" here, Cai Xukun also liked it very much! There are cute slides and a small rocking horse. For the little meat bun, this is his little world.
Bumper boats
You can even sit on a bumper boat in the pool in the garden and experience the fun of sailing it yourself. The bumper boats in various animal shapes are completely controlled by Little Meat Bun. If there are other children, you can also collide with them, which is even more fun.
Guilin rice noodle making experience
Guilin rice noodle must be the most famous food in Guilin.
Made from freshly ground rice, the rice has a rich aroma and is very smooth.
Here, you can also experience traditional handmade Guilin rice noodles.
The master who has been certified as an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage will directly demonstrate the making of Guilin rice noodles, making tough rice balls, and then pressing out fresh rice noodles and cooking them immediately. In their study, a stick of rice noodles can only be regarded as passing if it can be tossed more than eight times continuously, which shows the deliciousness of rice noodles. Then add various side dishes and marinade, and a delicious bowl of Guilin rice noodles is completed.
Children's Paradise
Before leaving, I still had a little time, so I took my little meat buns to the children's paradise of the hotel to spend the last happy time here.
The children's playground is divided into two floors. The first floor is a wave pool, while the second floor is larger and has a trampoline, a small carousel and other facilities that children like.
What’s even more special is that there is a slide connecting the two floors. The little meat buns can go from the second floor to the first floor through the slide. It is very interesting and very convenient!
Written at the end
When I left with Little Roubao, I really felt too much reluctance.
There is a reluctance to part with the green mountains and green waters of Guilin, and there is also a reluctance to part with the comfortable environment here.
The warm smile of the waiter and the rich variety of items made the past few days happy enough for Xiaoroubao, and worth remembering. For Little Roubao, his little brain is always collecting fragments of this big world, and I hope that every fragment is colorful and beautiful.
The past few days in Shangri-La and the various activities he participated in are beautiful memories. For me, they are also a precious collection on the road of Xiaoroubao’s growth.
