The hot springs at sea are not only a spectacle in Haiyang City, but also a wonder in Haiyang Province and even nationwide.
Therefore, before the seaside hot spring resort officially opened, local TV stations in Haishi and Haiyang provincial TV stations broadcast news about it in turn.
In addition, Xu's Catering also used its own account popularity and channels to promote this, with no platform spared, such as WeChat Station and Taobao Live Room.
Furthermore, from the beginning until now, Xu An has positioned the Haiyang Hot Spring Resort as the best choice for short trips and a tourist destination around Haiyang City. Therefore, Tang Wen also contacted eighteen different types and channels of online celebrities and content creators in Haiyang Province to come and experience it firsthand and promote it.
These content creators range from those who specialize in travel accounts, to those who share food, to those who explore restaurants, to those who discover off-the-beaten-path attractions—the list goes on and on.
Starting from January 10th, information and videos related to the Qianhai Town Hot Spring Resort have been circulating everywhere. Users within Haiyang Province can see related news no matter which software platform they open.
Ding Nan and Luo Min were initially interested after seeing the flyer, and as they received more and more related information from various social media platforms, their hearts gradually tipped towards the seaside hot spring resort.
After all, in the dead of winter, being able to soak in a comfortable and warm hot spring while gazing at the boundless sea is incredibly pleasant just to think about.
Most importantly, Xu's Catering's points mall has actually launched a gift package that includes a free one-day trip to Qianhai Town Seaside Hot Spring Resort!
The gift package includes a voucher for a dinner at a sea-view restaurant (six dishes and one soup), a voucher for a three-hour experience at a seaside hot spring, and a one-night stay in a 270-degree sea-view room!
Except for the round-trip transportation fee, all other expenses are included!
However, there are buses from Haishi to Qianhai Town. The journey takes forty minutes and costs twelve yuan, which is practically free!
Almost the instant they saw the news, the two immediately opened Xu's Catering's ordering webpage, entered the points mall, and secured two seats from the limited eight available spots.
After redeeming the free one-day tour package, the page automatically redirected back to the points mall homepage, where the redeemable quantity had become a gray, cold 'zero'.
While Ding Nan and Luo Min were eagerly anticipating their trip, Xu An was organizing his team for the pre-opening sprint.
"Is one banner missing? There's another banner welcoming leaders from Haishi to visit and provide guidance. Not only the service center but also public areas like the sea-view restaurant need to have red carpets laid out, and the doors of the individual sea-view rooms also need to be covered."
"Are the cannons ready? Double-check them, better to have too many than too few. Have all the staff responsible for guiding and receiving guests memorized the procedures? Test all the electrical equipment used in the performances and check for any malfunctions. How long will it take for the fireworks company's order to arrive?"
With Xu An's repeated instructions and follow-up, everything from stage setup and route guidance to atmosphere decoration, employee service training, program rehearsals, and fireworks displays for the opening ceremony was proceeding smoothly.
The food plaza, which my second grandfather and the surrounding villages worked on together, has also been officially completed. Sixty shops have started to recruit merchants in the city. Taking advantage of the popularity of the hot spring resort, more than 280 applications were received from inside and outside the province on the day the registration opened!
After considering factors such as the type of snacks sold, price, and cooking time, and through a rigorous selection process, fifty-eight slots were chosen from nearly three hundred vendors. As for the remaining two slots, they were, of course, given to Xu An through some 'behind-the-scenes' dealings—one for Xu's Braised Food Shop and one for Xu's Lemon Tea Shop—just the right number!
As time went by, January 19th arrived quickly, the day of the official opening.
In order not to waste any time, Ding Nan and Luo Min met at the Haishi Bus Station at eight o'clock in the morning and took a bus together to the Haihai Hot Spring Resort.
The two thought they were early enough, but when the bus stopped at the station near Xujia Village, two-thirds of the passengers had already gotten off with their luggage! The small platform was packed to the brim, completely jammed!
As soon as they got off the bus, they saw the sightseeing vehicles parked not far away. Seven or eight pure black antique-style sightseeing vehicles were lined up in a row, looking quite impressive.
Before anyone could ask, a middle-aged man wearing a red sash with the words "Seaside Hot Spring Resort" printed in gold walked towards them.
"Are you guests heading to the Qianhai Town Seaside Hot Spring Resort?" the middle-aged man asked, gesturing with an invitation. "If so, please come this way. We have a shuttle bus to take you to the resort."
Compared to the bewildered others, Ding Nan and Luo Min, who had prepared their strategy in advance, immediately reacted, stepped closely behind the middle-aged man, and successfully secured the passenger seat.
I don't know if it's because of the good infrastructure in Haishi or the driver's excellent driving skills, but the ride was smooth and there were no bumps along the way.
Just as Luo Min was curiously looking at the newly planted, ornamental coconut trees by the roadside, the driver suddenly started introducing the details of the seaside hot spring resort to everyone.
"We are now heading to the ticket office of the seaside hot spring resort. With your same-day ticket, you can ride the sightseeing bus an unlimited number of times for free. There are a total of six boarding points within the park."
The hot springs are 3.7 kilometers from the land. Besides sightseeing buses, you can also choose to take a speedboat, but this is an optional extra and not mandatory.
