A paradise hidden in the suburbs of Guangzhou, known as "Meinv Village", has a reason to go all year round.
In the depths of Conghua, Guangzhou, there is an ancient village with simple folk customs. There is no style of mountains in Mingchuan or great historical stories here, but it attracts many tourists like a paradise in the suburbs, and there are reasons to come here all year round.
This is Xitou Village, which is located in the suburb of Guangzhou and in the northeast of Conghua liang kou. It is one of the three sources of Liuxi River.
This is my third visit to Xitou Village. Two of them came to Xitou Village specially, and both stayed here for one night. The third time, I walked to Xitou Village and then went back by car. Every time I took a different route, I felt different. But every time I have a good time, I feel very relaxed, which may be the charm of nature.
When we first came here, we specially took a bus to the entrance of Xitou Village, focusing on feeling the simple folk customs and being close to nature.
At the entrance of the village, we were attracted by a farm. There are many homestays and farms here, all of which are decorated in a more literary style, which is a favorite style of young people. In the farm, you can taste the special dishes here, bamboo rice and fresh bamboo shoots (depending on the season), and the price of the food is not bad, which is similar to that in the urban area, but it will be more original.
The market in Xitou Village is just inside the entrance of the village. The market will be very lively in the morning and evening.
There are all kinds of agricultural products in the market: green plums, dried bamboo shoots, dried sweet potatoes, etc. There are also some handicrafts made of bamboo tubes, as well as special foods here: bamboo tube rice, freshly ground sesame paste and landscape tofu flowers. Every time I come here, I will bring some special products home. I feel that this can prove that I have been here.
When we stayed, we met the very kind landlord of the B&B, an old couple, who patiently explained the nearby scenic spots and tourist routes, helped us prepare breakfast and arranged rooms with the best scenery.
In the evening, stroll around the village. There are many fruit trees here, and you can see the sunset on the road. In the evening, sit at the table on the roof and chat with friends while eating melon seeds.
I got up early the next day, pushed open the door, and the air was very fresh in the morning. What I didn't expect was that I could still see the sea of clouds on the hillside, so I picked up the camera and recorded it.
There is a stream in Xitou Village, which is very clear. This should be a classic hiking route: the upstream line.
When the sun comes out, many tourists will swim in the water under bridge opening to cool off the heat. They can take off their shoes and sit on a stone, put their feet on the stream, and feel the coolness of the stream flowing slowly from their feet. When they sit down, they are reluctant to leave.
Xitou Village is also called "Meinv Village", perhaps because there are many beautiful women here, or all the people who come here are beautiful women, or maybe they will become beautiful and handsome after coming here.
Go out to the exit of Xitou Village and walk along another road, and you can go to a waterfall: Qianlonggou Waterfall, which requires tickets, but we didn't go in.
On the way, there will be more farms, so we can stop and have a rest and taste the special dishes of the farms. We ordered firewood chicken, fresh bamboo shoots and snails, which were really delicious.
Xitou Village has its own beautiful scenery all year round. Plum blossoms are enjoyed in spring, and the characteristic Sanhua plum here is in full bloom. In summer, swim upstream and enjoy the cool and summer; Enjoy maple leaves in autumn; Dig winter bamboo shoots in winter and taste fresh bamboo shoots and bacon cooked first. There is a large bamboo forest on the road. When the wind blows, the bamboo moves with the wind, and the graceful music of nature rings, which is very comfortable.

Famous tourist attractions in Guangzhou
Eight famous scenic spots in Guangzhou: Cuishan, Pearl Water Night Rhyme, Yuexiu Xinhui, Tianhe Floating Silk, Ancient Temple, Morning Ring Road, Yellow Flower and Bright Moon, and Lotus Peak.
from August 23rd, 2111, the Eight Scenes of Yangcheng in the new century were evaluated by more than 21 experts from Guangzhou municipal administration, planning, gardens, architecture, tourism, culture, cultural relics and other fields, and 621,111 citizens participated in the recommendation voting. From 31 candidate scenic spots, the best one was selected. Finally, after a year of repeated argumentation, it finally stood out.
characteristics
the emergence and development of the eight scenic spots in Guangzhou has a history of nearly a thousand years. The focus of landscape selection has shifted from landscape-oriented to the combination of natural and human landscapes. People's attention has gradually shifted to cities, attaching importance to the role of cultural monuments and the development of urban construction.
The eight ancient and modern scenic spots in Yangcheng are precious treasures of Guangzhou. We should pay attention to their protection, properly develop and utilize them, and serve the modernization of the city. Guangzhou focuses on the renovation and construction of Baiyun Mountain and Pearl River, improving cultural taste, beautifying, purifying and greening, which is of great significance to the construction of green mountains, clear water, blue sky and flower city.
What scenic spots in Guangzhou can be called "Xanadu"?
Today Xiaobian will introduce you to a "Xanadu" in downtown Guangzhou, which I believe will attract you.
it is located in the southwest of Guangzhou, and the area of this city is not large, only 1.3 square kilometers. Before it was invaded, the trade and tourism industries here were very developed. More than a dozen countries have set up consulates and banks here, so this place is different from other places. Although it is in a busy city, it is very quiet.
Today, European architecture is everywhere in this place, which is very unique. When you walk in here, it's all European-style, just like entering a European town. Here, if you don't wander around casually, you will find that there are many places like cafes, restaurants and bars, so it is very suitable for taking pictures. Whether you take pictures on the main road or find a unique place without eggs, you basically don't need retouching, and it is completely a big picture.
For this small town, Xiaobian likes the atmosphere and the pace of life here. As a city in Guangzhou, it is different from other cities, especially in the atmosphere and pace of life, which is very enviable. In particular, traffic control is implemented here, so there will be no traffic jams, and there will be no automobile exhaust, which gives people the feeling that it is like a "paradise" hidden in the downtown area of Guangzhou. People don't want to go out when they come in.
If you go to Guangzhou, you must not miss this place. We can imagine taking photos with our girlfriend in these places, and the photos will be very beautiful and full of literature and art. When you come here, just walk on the street, look at the scenery on both sides and feel the living atmosphere here. As a scenic spot, the popularity here is still very high in recent years, and it is very popular, so we must find the right time to come here. I wonder if everyone likes it here?
Where are the interesting tourist attractions in Guangzhou?
1. Shamian
Shamian is an oval-shaped island with many unique European buildings at the end of 19. It was once a concession of Britain and France, and later became the foreign affairs area of Guangdong provincial government. Now it is still semi-closed management, with traffic restrictions. It makes people feel very special to have such a place in the bustling city of Guangzhou. Although today's sand surface does not have the bustling scene of that year, we can feel the history of that year through these European buildings.
2. Baiyun Mountain
Although Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou is not so famous in the world, it must be visited if you want to travel to Guangzhou or work and live in Guangzhou for a long time. As a national AAAAA scenic spot, Baiyun Mountain does have many remarkable points. From Guangzhou's Zhujiang New Town to Baiyun Mountain, you can feel the tranquility from high-rise buildings to virgin forests, and you will feel a kind of serenity and contentment in your heart. Baiyun Mountain has a total area of 21.98 square kilometers, and the main peak, Moxingling, is 382 meters high, with overlapping peaks and streams. You can overlook the whole city and overlook the Pearl River. Whenever it's sunny after rain or in late spring, the mountains are filled with white clouds and become a spectacle, hence the name of Baiyun Mountain.
3. Sacred Heart Cathedral in Stone Chamber
Religion is the destination of human mind, just like a harbor where ships need to dock. Although I am not a Catholic, I can feel a feeling of washing my mind every time I walk into the church. Guangzhou Catholic Sacred Heart Cathedral is located in Yide Road, Guangzhou. Because the church was completed on June 8, 1863, it was named Sacred Heart Cathedral. There are two well-known Christian churches in Guangzhou, one is the Sacred Heart Cathedral in the Stone Chamber of Catholicism, and the other is the Dongshan Church of Protestantism, which is located in Temple Beitongjin in Laodongshan.
4. Guang Zhouta
Among the night scenes in Guangzhou, Guang Zhouta is the most splendid. Whenever night falls, Guang Zhouta is brightly lit, and colorful Guang Zhouta is very beautiful. Guang Zhouta, 611 meters high, is the first tourist tower in China and the third in the world, standing near Chigang, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. Guang Zhouta is also called "Little Man's Waist", and Guang Zhouta has successfully established a national AAAA scenic spot and become a landmark building in Guangzhou.
5. Baishui Village
Baishui Village Mountain is 828 meters high, and Baishui Village Waterfall has a drop of 428.5 meters, which is the largest waterfall in Chinese mainland. Baishui Village Scenic Area is a national AAAA scenic spot, among which the famous scenic spots are the White Narcissus Waterfall, the alpine lake and the first ladder on the south of the day. Walking into Baishui Village is like being in a paradise away from home, and you can feel the pleasure of being close to nature. Baishui Village is not only beautiful in scenery, but also has mountains and waters, which is one of the must-see spots for Guangzhou tourism.
summary of interesting scenic spots in Guangzhou
when it comes to Guangzhou, many people's first impression must be Guang Zhouta, which is known as "small waist". But in fact, Guangzhou locals don't like to go, but when they come out to play, they will definitely go to the most representative scenic spots in that place, just like Beijing, where "you are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall". Having said that, there are many interesting places in Guangzhou. I have compiled several scenic spots that I personally feel are more distinctive. Welcome to Greater Guangzhou!
1. Million Sunflower Garden
Million Sunflower Garden is the first park in China that regards sunflowers as ornamental plants and designs them into super-large theme gardens. Sunflower Garden, covering an area of about 261,111 square meters, is often the only place for photographers and those who need to take wedding photo albums and photos. There are not only sunflowers in the garden, but also colorful lavender, rose garden, exotic Jeju Island and Holland Island in China, all of which are very distinctive attractions here.
In addition, there are a series of animation machinery cities in the park, such as Pine Valley and Animation Village, which are suitable for parent-child experience. In this garden, which can not only have a visual feast, but also "activate the bones and muscles", let us fully experience the life of a paradise!
Address: Chong 15, Xinken, Wanqingsha Town, Nansha District, a suburb of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province
Traffic guide: Guangzhou Metro Line 4-Jiaomen Station turns to No.23 (direct bus)-Million Kwai Garden (Chong 15, Xinken)
Second, Chimelong Happy World
Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, foreigners or locals, Chimelong Happy World is a joy for everyone. Coming to Guangzhou without experiencing the exciting project of Chimelong Paradise is just like going to Beijing without climbing the Great Wall. There are nearly 71 facilities of the world's leading amusement equipment companies imported from abroad, among which the vertical roller coaster known as the "king of global roller coasters", the ten-ring roller coaster with Guinness World Records, the motorcycle roller coaster that won the gold medal in industry design, the super pendulum and the only U-shaped skateboard in the Eastern Hemisphere are not to be missed.
Of course, if you have a bad heart or are unwell, don't try it. The excitement of these projects is definitely five stars! However, don't be depressed. Chimelong Happy World is divided into eight theme areas. Water Park, Rainbow Bay and Central Performing Arts Square are all good choices. There are also various Chinese and Western restaurants and snacks and drinks in the area, which are convenient for tourists to have a rest after playing.

Third, Lingnan Impression Garden
To explore the footprint of old Guangzhou and appreciate the local customs of Lingnan area, Lingnan Impression Garden is a place worth visiting. Lingnan Impression Garden, which won the title of 4A tourist scenic spot in 2112, is famous for its relatively complete Lingnan architecture, profound folk culture and rich rural customs. It is a cultural tourism grand view garden integrating leisure, vacation and entertainment. The park is dominated by quaint buildings with the characteristics of the Republic of China, recreating the characteristic folk customs of old Hong Kong, Shanghai and other cities. Here, you can become a singer in Shanghai, a barber in the Republic of China, or you can experience the traditional machine to fry popcorn yourself ... In short, you can walk and play, and when you are tired, you will stop to have a rest and appreciate other customs.
Tickets: 61 yuan
Opening hours: 9: 11-17: 11
Address: south of Xiaoguwei Island in Guangzhou University Town
Traffic guide:
Guangzhou Railway Station (Metro Line 2)-Changgang Station (transfer to Metro Line 8)-Wanshengwei Station (transfer to Metro Line 4) Here, I strongly recommend that you must try the cat's boat porridge. The location is hard to find, but it is also easy to find, because there are endless customers coming and going, and the delicious food is not famous! In addition, there is local ginger milk, which will definitely not be disappointed for those who like dessert.
It is said that you must do eight things when you come to Huangpu Ancient Port: the memorial archway of Huangpu Village (take a photo), the Beidi Temple (make a wish), the ancient commercial street-Lianzitang Street and Han Yan's paper-cut (feel the classical charm), the Huangpu Village History Museum (feel the ancient village culture), the ancient sentimental hut (send a postcard), the porridge with a cat's boat, and the milkman's ginger bumping milk (taste the ancient port snacks).
Finally, there is another one that I personally like. On the way back to Huangpu Ancient Port, you can take a double-decker bus, sit on the second floor in the open air and pass through Guang Zhouta. It's also a good choice! In a word, Huangpu Ancient Port will definitely visit trip worthwhile.
Address: Shizhen Village, Pazhou Street, Xingang East Road, Haizhu District
Traffic Guide: Jiaokou Passenger Station takes Metro Line 5-Chebei South Station, turn Line 4 to Wanshengwei Station Exit B, then go to Huangpu Technical School Station, take Bus No.229 or take Bus No.3 to Pazhou Shiji Village (Huangpu Ancient Port)
5. Sacred Heart Cathedral in Shishi
Sacred Heart Cathedral is the largest Catholic parish in Guangzhou. It has almost all the composition elements of Gothic church, including stained glass windows and perspective doors in early architectural style, and double bell towers in middle and late architectural style. The front of the church has a pair of towering spires.
