【Dadousi Lake Fresh Restaurant】When visiting Wanlv Lake·Wanlv Valley Resort, don't miss the local specialties. As an important drinking water source for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Wanlv Lake has always strictly implemented ecological environmental protection. The lake area has lush vegetation and crystal-clear water, producing various high-quality lake fresh products.

Lunch and dinner were arranged at the Dadousi Lake Fresh Restaurant in Wanlv Valley Resort. Following the local fishing heritage, the restaurant is built around the lake and adheres to the philosophy of "guests stepping into the scenery, dining amidst a painting." The name "Dadousi" originates from the early Hakka custom of pooling money for a shared meal, a form of group dining in Hakka areas.

"Herons leap over Wanlv Lake, fat mandarin fish swim in the thousand green waters," the restaurant, named with strong local Hakka cultural elements, focuses on Hakka flavors and Wanlv Lake fresh catches. The dishes emphasize freshness and original flavors. Each authentic fishing village water-town dish delights the palate and leaves a lasting aftertaste.
