Today in Zhongshan I went with the American contingent to the Zhongshan Hot Springs. We had an interesting “Western” lunch and then walked around the area. There are large pools for swimming and, I assume, smaller hot tubs to take advantage of the hot springs. Inside the hotel confines there is a nicely manicured pond with trees and scholar stones. But overall it was a rather run-down place that could use a little modernizing.
On the same premises is a beautiful golf course that made me want to take up golfing. It had just started to rain and soft lawns curving into the mist with the sheets of rain coming down on the bamboo lining the lake and trees on the course really made it a very beautiful site. It was rather inconsistent with the hotel and resort down the road, where I assume golfers must stay.
China is really getting into the golf craze and there are several very popular courses just over the border from Hong Kong. Hong Kongese golf enthusiasts have only good things to say, especially about the 216-hole (12 courses in one location) golf-a-palooza in Dong Guan.
