Lounging by the pool at Jiufu Resort Hotel, even time slowed down, becoming like tropical fruit-flavored sparkling water.

As the evening's blue hour just began to spread, the pool lights, wrapped in a warm glow, immersed themselves in the water. Stepping in felt like plunging into a pool of melted moonlight. The three of us splashed around with unicorn floats, water spraying onto the wooden deck, shaking the sunlight that had warmed the lounge chairs. The wind, carrying the softness of Jianshui's evening, emerged from the strip lights on the eaves, causing the string lights by the parasols to sway gently. When tired from swimming, we'd cling to the edge of the pool and munch on iced coconuts. Looking up, we could see the crescent moon in the sky; looking down, there were fragmented stars in the pool. This isn't just a swimming pool here; it's like soaking the words "stolen leisure" in water, and what you scoop out is pure, relaxed sweetness.
