Hezhou, Guangxi
Hidden deep within the towering mountains of eastern Guangxi lies an ancient place, where millennia-old streams flow and thousand-year-old stone bridges stand. In this thousand-year-old village, time seems to have tied a small knot, pausing on the ancient blue-tiled roofs. Huangyao Ancient Town in Hezhou is a famous town in Guangxi, named after the predominant 'Huang' and 'Yao' families living there. Huangyao features small bridges, flowing streams, and traditional homes, with intricately carved eaves and wall paintings, winding bluestone streets, and even a girl with an umbrella, reminiscent of lilacs, who might unexpectedly walk into the ancient alley. Highlights: streams, ancient bridges, and alleys, comparable to the water towns of Jiangnan.
Yanming Lake
Yanming Lake emphasizes the theme of 'leisure vacation, health and entertainment, green ecology.' It is built according to the concept of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—into four major functional scenic areas: 'Spring Garden, Summer Garden, Autumn Garden, Winter Garden.' Inside, there are Silver Lake Hotel, villa resorts, Hakka food street, conference center, recreation center, 9-hole golf course, grass skiing field, suspension bridge, shuttle machine, flying trapeze, and other tourism and entertainment facilities. The resort attracts numerous domestic and international tourists with its grand scale, perfect layout, unique landscapes, comprehensive functions, elegant style, and green ecology. It has been awarded titles such as 'National Youth Civilization Unit' and 'Guangdong Provincial Civilized Window Unit,' making it a shining pearl in the Meizhou mountainous area.
Huidong Port Village
This place can even be considered a private beach, named the Turtle Breeding Base. Ride a motorcycle up the mountain and buy a ticket to enter. As you walk towards the sea, you are flanked by tranquil woods, bustling with the sounds of various birds and insects. There are no shops around the beach, and few people. The sand here is different from other beaches, finer and softer. During the day, it is slightly warm from the sun, but as the sun sets, the rising tide cools the sand down instantly. The sea water at high tide is turbulent and intense. The sound of the waves is clear and powerful, sometimes even fierce.
