A houseboat is a boat that has been designed or adapted for use as a residence and is primarily used for that purpose. Some houseboats are not motorized as they are often moored and secured to a stable point, and are often tethered to land for use of utility equipment.
Why not take a trip to a houseboat on a hot summer day? If you don't like crowds or sweating after a few steps, a houseboat is a great choice for you to enjoy the sea breeze and experience the city or the sea from different angles.
In the planning of the hotel complex, the layout and texture of the natural landscape of the lake are retained to a great extent, allowing people to experience the rustic life of the original ecology and the beautiful poetic habitat.
