Guida Woniuhu Holiday Scenic Area

　　The Guida Woniuhu Holiday Scenic Area was established in 1995. It is situated in Miaozhuang Town, Ninghe County, Tianjin, right next to National Highway 205 and the Jintang Expressway, offering convenient transportation. The scenic area covers an area of 1,500 acres, over 70% of which is water, featuring a rich variety of aquatic activities. It is a comprehensive resort integrating tourism, catering, accommodation, entertainment, mineral spring bathing, indoor and outdoor fishing, and various types of conference reception.

　　 The Guida Hotel located within the scenic area was approved as a foreign-related hotel in September 1998 and was certified as a three-star hotel by the Tourism Bureau in August 2002. The dining department features high-end and mid-range private rooms, as well as banquet halls suitable for group and conference meals. With senior chefs in charge, a wide range of Chinese cuisines and dishes at high, medium, and low price points are available for guests to enjoy. The hotel offers elegant standard guest rooms, various waterside standard rooms, suites, VIP suites, and hot spring garden suites for all types of guests. The Qingxin Garden Waterside Suite is like a historical rainbow, showcasing its “essence–energy–spirit–momentum” on the island, evoking a sense of timeless nostalgia. Facilities for recreation and wellness include luxurious KTV private rooms, beauty salons, hairdressers, tennis courts, chess and card rooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and fishing spots. The hot spring baths use mineral water sourced from 1,400 meters underground. The 6,000-square-meter indoor Japanese-style Qingxin Mineral Spring Bath is a picturesque, garden-style bathing facility that combines sightseeing, bathing, and water play, providing a warm retreat all year round.

　　 The Woniuhu Holiday scenic lake is long and narrow, slender and graceful, winding along its natural contours, thus earning the nickname “the Slender West Lake of the North.” Painted pleasure boats, speedboats, and cruise ships glide between the various islands and fishing net arrays. The area is rich in natural resources. Vegetation includes emergent and submerged plants such as reeds, cattails, and algae. Aquatic resources comprise over 20 species of freshwater and anadromous or catadromous fish, including grass carp, common carp, crucian carp, eel, loach, and soft-shelled turtle (soft-shelled turtles are naturally hatched and strictly prohibited from being caught or eaten). There are also shrimp, crabs, shellfish, which have long enjoyed the reputation of “silver fish and purple crab.” Bird species include wild geese, ducks, geese, herons, egrets, and warblers. Green Island Goose Garden is shaded by trees, with wild geese and ducks playing around the island and surrounding waters. Fragrant Isle Deer Shadow features a deer park, peacock park, ostrich park, and other enclosures where pheasants and guinea fowl roam freely—animal-loving visitors can get up close and personal with wildlife on the island.

　　 The Water Harvesting Garden faces Dasheng Mountain. The pear orchard, plum orchard, grape vineyard, apricot orchard, and peach orchard here are lush with greenery, surrounded by winding waterways. The pavilions in the garden offer a place for rest. During harvest season, it becomes a place to taste fruits. You can stroll through the gardens, pick fruit, and enjoy the joy of harvest.

　　 The Net Fishing Village is the area in Woniuhu where fish and shrimp are caught. The fish caught here daily are directly supplied to the restaurants. The fish are wild and free of any additives, making them particularly fresh green food from the lake area. Here you can try fishing by boat and experience the joy of “catching fish is better than eating fish.”

　　 The Water Club scenic area features pavilions, terraces, towers, and attics, accommodating conference rooms for 500 people and dining facilities. This area uses numerous water channels to divide the main building from 11 small gardens. The 11 small gardens consist of a total of 16 guest rooms (not including the Emperor Suite). The design incorporates many traditional symbolic elements, such as those found in Suzhou gardens. Long corridors, winding paths, rockeries, waterside pavilions, and buildings all reflect the characteristics of traditional Jiangnan rural homes, while combining commercial hotel functionality to merge ancient and modern architectural art. The result is a refined essence that retains the charm of Jiangnan. White plaster walls set the tone, complemented by appropriate gray tones for a clean and bright look. The horse-head walls, a repeated design element, create undulating variation. The four individual buildings vary in height, the tallest being three stories. The contrast between gray and white is both striking and harmonious. Meandering water corridors and reflections of towers create a tranquil and serene atmosphere. The 11 small gardens feature layered white walls and black-tiled roofs, complementing each other and offering a sense of architectural exploration.

　　 Comprising three uniquely shaped lakes forming different fishing zones, the area is shaded by weeping willows around the lake. Fishing platforms divide the East and West Gardens—Mandarin Duck Garden and Swan Garden. Among them stand Bird-Singing Stream and Roaring Waterfall Stream, where you can watch mandarin ducks playing in the water and hear melodious sounds echoing around, creating an exquisitely elegant atmosphere.

　　 The Lotus Garden features beautiful lotus flowers, mandarin ducks, and ornamental fish, creating a serene, natural, and peaceful scene. In season, the blooming lotuses transport visitors into a fairyland. Walking along winding paths leads to the Vegetable Sightseeing Garden, where a variety of pure green, tender, and delicious vegetables are available for visitors to pick themselves. These can then be prepared and enjoyed at the uniquely styled farmhouse restaurant nearby, giving guests a full taste of rural cuisine and adding to the fun of country living. Egrets, reeds, and lotus seeds form a beautiful waterfowl scene. A sculpture symbolizing wealth and harvest, titled “Year of Abundance,” has been specially placed in the garden. The Farmer’s Delight Green Vegetable Sightseeing Garden has also become a highlight of the Lotus Garden. Visitors can enjoy freshly ground soy milk and pick vegetables in the farmhouse courtyard. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers an authentic rural experience. To the northwest of the Lotus Garden lies a bird habitat where many wild and rare birds, such as swans, wild geese, ducks, and mandarin ducks, can be seen flying overhead or foraging and playing.

　　 The Guida Woniuhu Holiday Scenic Area integrates the distinct garden cultures of “northern grandeur and southern elegance,” emphasizes ecological balance, and continues to innovate. With the spirit of “harmony between man and nature,” the Guida team has created a garden-style holiday resort in the Tianjin–Beijing–Tangshan region—“though made by man, it seems crafted by heaven.”
