Seven hidden treasure destinations around Guangdong province

Many people want to find a niche destination where they can avoid crowds and enjoy their vacation. I have found seven hidden treasure destinations around for you! Not only do they have crystal clear lakes, but you can also do activities like cycling around the lake and having picnics and camping. Whatever way of enjoyment you can think of, you can experience it in these places!

Dongguan Songshan Lake

Walking on the shimmering water, enjoying the scenery along the shore, and experiencing natural life, who would still want to squeeze into the bustling city with such a peaceful lakeside view? The European town built by Huawei with an investment of billions is hidden by the lakeside of Songshan Lake. Various styles of European architecture are lined up, making people feel like they have traveled to a fairy tale world.

Shenzhen Lixin Lake Park

Lixin Lake Park is known as the 'Little West Lake' of Shenzhen. The covered bridges, pavilions, and lakes form a beautiful picture: walking within it feels like walking in a painting. The crisscrossing aerial corridors offer truly breathtaking scenery.

Foshan Banyue Island Wetland Park

Tired of crowded popular islands? Why not visit this lesser-known wetland park, where the gentle breeze whispers in your ears and a sense of freshness greets you. Take a walk with your family in the park, enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery, and you can also bring a bubble machine or a kite to relive the joyful childhood moments.

Foshan Fengjiang Quarry

Due to the approximately 140-meter deep, crystal-clear blue sinkhole, which looks like a heart-shaped amber when viewed from the air, it is famously known as the 'Baikal Lake of Guangdong.' The sheer 'cliff-like lake shore' adds a touch of desolation to the tranquil lake water. The rubble and deep pits give off a mysterious vibe, making it perfect for magazine-worthy photos with just a casual snap.

Qingyuan Peach Blossom Lake Scenic Area

This might be the closest place to a 'paradise' in the hearts of Guangdong people. Gentle ripples skim across the lake's surface, reflecting the surrounding peaks, creating a picturesque ink painting that unfolds before your eyes. Taking a boat ride on the lake, standing at the bow while the boatman sits at the stern, draped in a raincoat, evokes a sense of being a chivalrous hero in the martial world, experiencing the grandeur and ambition of ancient people.

Lihu Wetland Park

Lihu Wetland is located beside the Luogang Resettlement Area on Lihu Street, along the Zengjiang River. Covering an area of 570 acres, equivalent to 13 Guangzhou Luhu Lakes, it is truly the 'Green Lung of Zengcheng'. The banks are lush with trees, offering a panoramic view of greenery. The river flows gently by the shore, providing a refreshing breeze.

Ziyun Valley in Zhaoqing

The lake water in Ziyun Valley is crystal clear, with pristine mountain spring water. Unlike the famous Dinghu Mountain and Seven Star Crags, the natural environment here is well-preserved. Upon first seeing Ziyun Valley, you will be amazed by the lush green forests, which bear some resemblance to the greenery of Jiuzhaigou, but with an added touch of freshness.
