Enjoy lunch at the on-site restaurant featuring dishes made from fresh, organically grown ingredients like lotus root rice and steamed lotus leaf buns. In the afternoon, join a natural specimen crafting workshop, creating keepsakes from fallen leaves and insects. End the day with a guided night sky lecture, where experts explain migratory bird patterns in the wetland ecosystem. All activities are included in the stay and arranged via hotel shuttle service.

Hetao Impression · Tongqu Xiaoyuan specializes in family engagement, offering two daily nature discovery sessions: "Find the Ant City" uses magnifying glasses to explore soil ecosystems, while "Lotus Leaf Umbrella Craft" teaches children how to make handmade umbrellas using real lotus leaves and natural dyes. Each child receives a Nature Explorer Kit (including a trowel, notebook, and plant press). The hotel also features a parent-child garden plot where families plant drought-resistant flowers together and participate in ongoing care routines. All workshops are free; book via HopeGoo to guarantee your spot.

Hetao Impression · Gu Fa Workshop offers the deepest cultural connection, housed in a century-old soy sauce factory still preserving traditional brewing methods. Guests can participate in intangible heritage-level soy sauce fermentation experiences, crafting low-salt sauces and vinegars, then tasting them with locally sourced dishes. Monthly "Memories of Hetao Nights" feature elders sharing oral histories and displaying vintage photos and hand-drawn maps.
