π² Food
π Preserved pork rib soup pot, not too salty or bland, just right! Breakfast is also very rich. When in Mianyang, you must try Mianyang rice noodles. Two bowls are not enough!
π‘ Accommodation Experience
We stayed in a lake-view family room, where you can enjoy the lake view from the balcony! The room has one large and one small bed, perfect for family trips. There is a tent for children to play in on the second floor, and the room has voice control, which is very friendly for the elderly and children. The room has both air conditioning and underfloor heating, so it's warm in winter.
