Self-driving is recommended. After exiting the highway, you need to drive along a rural road for a while. The resort is very large, so be sure to set your navigation to "Hantian Resort Lobby" to avoid parking in remote lots. Parking lots are widely distributed, and after parking, you can call a shuttle anytime for pick-up and drop-off, which is very convenient. 2. Transportation within the resort relies entirely on shuttle buses. Wherever you want to go, just call anytime. Staff will also proactively help call a shuttle. Traveling with kids means no walking, making it easy and worry-free. 🏠 Family Accommodation Options The resort has three sub-hotels to meet different family needs: 1️⃣ Main Building Hotel: The top choice for lake view series! Although it’s an older building, the scenery is fantastic. Most entertainment facilities are inside the main building, making travel convenient. Lake view rooms offer a window view of Tianmu Lake’s winter beauty, with calm waters and swaying reeds, creating a great atmosphere.
