1. Daqitou Liyou Ancient Village

The ancient building complex of Daqitou Village was built by Zheng Shaozhong, the governor of Guangdong Navy in the Qing Dynasty. It was built in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and it is a representative village of Qing Dynasty in central Guangdong. The villagers' residence, ancestral temple, family temple, first mansion, pagoda, sun ping, square and pond are both available, and they live in groups, with coordinated layout and unified style.

The buildings are all sealed with volcanic walls with pot-ears on hard hilltops, and the interior layout adopts the typical "three rooms and two corridors" style of Guangdong folk houses. The ancient buildings in Daqitou Village are dense and tidy, with criss-crossing alleys and checkerboard layout, equipped with fire-proof passages and anti-theft facilities, and the sewer drainage system adopts stone culverts, which is very reasonable in structure. The ancient buildings in Daqitou Village are located west to east, with the overall layout of the pond as the background. The front is open and the back is closed, which has sufficient scientific basis.

The whole village covers an area of about 52, square meters, and the area of ancient buildings is about 14, square meters. In front of it, there is a half-acre fish pond, and the foundation of the pond is built with three stones, and the protruding part is like a spout. There is a pen-shaped ancient pagoda-Wenta, which has two square stones under the tower. The big one is three feet high, and the small one is like an inkstone, forming an obvious one.

Route: Start from Shabei Station of Guangzhou Ring Expressway, enter Guangfo Expressway, drive for about 15km, transfer to Guangsan Expressway at Yayao Interchange, drive for about 34km, come to Sanshui entrance and exit, and get off at Guangsan Expressway. After getting off the Guangzhou-Guangzhou Expressway, turn to the 269 Provincial Highway and head north towards Datang, turn right to the 361 Provincial Highway in Bao Yue, pass through Nanbian Town and reach leping town, turn left into the 497 County Road, and drive about 2km north to Daqitou Village.

Player's comment:

Lion King: Personally, it is nothing more than some ancient buildings. For those of us who don't have a deep study of architecture, we can't really tell the difference between it and similar ancient villages, but there is really a feeling of avoiding the world. There are iron gates in several straight lanes in the whole village, which fall down at the same time when necessary, like a big fortress, and the roads seem to be connected, like entering a maze.

2. Zhuji Gu Xiang went to find the roots

Zhuji Gu Xiang is located 9 kilometers north of Nanxiong City, formerly known as Jingzong Lane. Zhuji Lane is 1,5 meters long, and the pavement is paved with pebbles, with a width of about 3-4 meters. The ancient post road passes through the lane, and the three gatehouses in the lane were built in the early Qing Dynasty. There is an ancient pagoda in the South Gate of the Yuan Dynasty called "Hufei Pagoda". This is the only ancient pagoda in the Yuan Dynasty in Guangdong, which was built in 135. The tower is 3.5 meters high, with seven octagons, and is made of 17 finely carved red sandstone. There is an ancient well next to the tower. It is said that Hu Fei threw herself into this well.

Zhuji Gu Xiang is an important commercial town on the road leading to Lingnan from the Central Plains and Jiangnan in ancient times. The ancient Shajiao Inspection Department was located in Shajiao at the north exit of Zhuji Lane. Zhujixiang is the birthplace and ancestral home of most residents in the Pearl River Delta.

there are two ways to name Zhuji Lane. It is said that during the Baoli years in Tang Jingzong, a family named Zhang Chang lived together for seven generations in the lane, and the court specially awarded Zhu Ji taeniasis ring in recognition of this filial piety. In order to avoid worshipping the ancestral temple, Jingzong Lane was renamed "Zhu Ji Lane"; It is said that there was Zhuji Lane during Song Xiangfu's reign. During Song Nandu's crossing, the courtiers drove into the ridge and stopped at Nanxiong, and also named it "Zhuji Lane".

Zhuji Gu Xiang

According to the investigation, there are 141 surnames of Zhuji immigrants who moved south in history, and tens of millions of them have emigrated abroad. In recent years, a large number of descendants of Zhuji Lane came back to seek their roots and ask their ancestors to build ancestral halls.

route: take the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway northbound at Taihe entrance and exit, pass through Wayaogang service area and Yuwan service area, and get off at Shaxi entrance and exit, about 176.8km. After getting off the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, turn left and enter the National Highway 16, northbound for about 7.4km, and then come to Nanhua Temple. After that, continue northbound along the National Highway 16, bypass Shaoguan City, drive for about 33km, pass through Huanghengling and Tucun, and merge with the National Highway 323 after arriving at Xinzhuangfu. After passing through the bridge toll station, leave Xinzhuangfu for about 15km, drive to Zhoutian Town, and drive for about 2.5km to Jiangkou toll station, and charge 7 yuan. After passing Shixing County for about 36km, you will come to Nanxiong City, cross Nanxiong City, drive for about 2km, turn right into Provincial Highway 342, and then drive along Provincial Highway 342 for about 7km, and then you will come to Zhuji Gu Xiang.

Player's comment:

Garden: It's a good proposal for people who just want to spend the weekend because they don't have enough time. It takes three hours to get on the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in Zhong Luotan and get off at Qujiang exit. Strolling in the ancient town, walking slowly, the mood is very quiet, which can relieve the work pressure.

3. Nanling climbs to the highest peak

Nanling National Forest Park is located in the core of Nanling Mountains, 7km east of Shaoguan City, 5km north of Pingshi Town and 1km east of the exit of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway Bridge, with a total area of 273km2.

Nanling National Forest Park is the highest and majestic mountain in Guangdong. Shikengkong is the "first peak in Guangdong" at an altitude of 1,92 meters, and Shijiuling is the second peak in Guangdong at an altitude of 1,888 meters. The surrounding peaks are towering or magnificent or steep, and the distribution is patchy and natural.

Nanling National Forest Park

There are four major scenic spots in Nanling National Forest Park: Waterfall Promenade Scenic Area; Primitive forest ("Little Huangshan Mountain") scenic spot; Shikenggan Scenic Area, the first peak in Guangdong; Hydrophilic valley scenic spot. These four scenic spots can be called the four wonders of Nanling.

route: take the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway northbound at Taihe entrance and exit, pass through Wayaogang service area, Yuwan service area and Qujiang service area, and get off at the exit of Daqiao and Nanling Park, about 26km. After getting off the expressway, turn right and drive for about 2 minutes to Nanling National Forest Park.

go on road trip's merits and demerits in Nanling National Forest Park:

Hongxing Ping is the starting point of X327 Highway, and there are milestones along the way. Motorists can follow this highway to the summit. Turn right at the fork in the road behind the 12-kilometer road monument, and you will arrive at the hydrophilic valley.

Go on for about 2 kilometers from 19 kilometers, and you can reach the gate of the reserve, where there is a barbecue field. Those who drive to the summit can only honestly drive another 1 kilometers of Panshan Road, and they have to enter Mangshan National Forest Park in Hunan (and then buy tickets for 2 yuan) before they can go up to Shikenggan at the summit.

Player's comment:

Garfield: It takes about three and a half hours from Guangzhou. After passing the Meiziao Tunnel on the way, pay attention to the exit sign on the right-turn right at the exit of Daqiao Nanling Park, go straight for about 2 minutes, turn right at the fork road according to the sign, and then go straight for 1 minutes to get to the entrance of Nanling National Forest Park. The whole road and bridge fee is about 125 yuan. Compared with the city people, the locals are so simple that you are moved. They eat hot and stir-fried dishes, eat in the open air in front of their host's house, have short big tables and short stools, and when you look up, you can see the outline of moonlight and distant mountains. I prefer early adopters, and strongly recommend the local "stone pig", which is a lean pig with crisp and fresh meat, and the frying and cooking are fragrant.

4, Nangang Ancient Yao Village collects wind

Nangang Paiyao Village is located on the mountain at an altitude of 83 meters, and the front view is excellent, which can be described as charming.

Unlike ordinary Yao villages, Yao villages in Nangang Pai are basically blue brick and black tile houses, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner, which is very beautiful. However, Nakakoji Village is paved with stones, so it will not be muddy even in rainy days. Obviously, this is a stockade with a history.

this village is located west to east, backed by mountains, surrounded by karst peaks, with dangerous terrain and magnificent momentum. It is also called Nangang Pai or Hangxiang Pai, and it is one of the eight major Pai Yao Pais in Liannan. It was founded in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. Experts such as Yao scholar, Professor Liu Baoyuan from the Central University for Nationalities and Professor Zhang Youjuan, President of the Yao Research Society of China, believe that it is "the oldest, largest, most distinctive and well-preserved Yao village in China and even in the world, and it can be called the first Yao village in China!"

Nangangpai Yaozhai

Route: Take Guangqing Expressway to Qingyuan first. It should be noted that at the exit of Yinzhan Hot Spring, the road to Qingyuan must turn right first. After getting off the expressway, enter the Qinglian first-class section of G17 corridor, but the road surface is in bad condition, so pay attention to controlling the speed.

after arriving in liannan county, turn into S261 provincial highway, drive in the direction of three rows, about 12km, go back through three rows of Yaozhai, then continue driving for about 4km, come back to the fork road, turn right into the section of 397 county road, and then go to Nangang town. There is a road sign indicating that Yaozhai is arranged in Nangang. After turning right, the 397 county road is cement road, and you will reach the end of Nangang Paiyaozhai.

Player's comments:

Lao Chen: Take the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway via the North Second Ring Road and turn to the Guangqing Expressway to the end. You can enter the "Qinglian (Qingyuan to Lianzhou) First Class Highway" along the 17 National Highway without entering Qingyuan. After passing the Yangshan boundary, there is a sculpture of "national unity" when you get to Lianzhou. Turn left here and enter Liannan, and you will soon arrive at sanjiang town, the county seat of Liannan. It is about 17 kilometers from Qingyuan to Liannan, and it takes about two and a half hours to walk. From Liannan to Qingyuan, due to the worse road conditions, it takes more than 3 hours to walk. The road conditions from Liannan County to several surrounding scenic spots are OK, that is, the road from Youling New Village to Youling Laopai is poor, the car at the bottom of the chassis is not easy to walk, and the big car is difficult to walk because of its long body, and the road is narrow and sharp. It is best to use CMB. In terms of eating, Liannan's consumption is not high. Breakfast is 5-8 yuan, and dinner is about 2-3 yuan, so you can enjoy it very well. The ground chicken, river fish, bamboo shoots and mushrooms here are all good. What impressed me deeply was Dongbei breakfast shop opposite Liannan county government. Dumplings cost 1 yuan, which was delicious and full. There are many kinds of fried foods on the street, usually three for one dollar, which is worth trying.

5. Visit the ancient city in Pinghai to see turtles

Pinghai Town, Huidong, is located at the southern end of Renping Peninsula in the southeast of Guangdong Province, next to Daya Bay and Red Bay. Pinghai Ancient City, which was founded in the 18th year of Ming Hong (1385), was a "garrison city" against the enemy in ancient times. Today, the city walls and buildings in the city are relatively well preserved, and the city retains rich national cultural heritage. In February 1991, Pinghai was identified by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government as the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities in Guangdong Province.

Ancient Village of Pinghai Town, Huidong

There are four towers in Pinghai Ancient Village, which are east, south, west and north. However, after renovation, it feels a little neither new nor old. There is no need for tickets to enter the ancient village. Two old streets in the east-west direction and the north-south direction connect the ancient city gates far away, which is the "cross ancient street" of the ancient city. Connected with the ancient city, it looks harmonious and decent. Streets still maintain the style of rows and rows of ancient houses. Most of these houses are balanced and symmetrical flat square brick houses, which are comprehensive structures evolved from mansion style, dragon style and quadrangle style.

There are seven ancient wells in the ancient city, which are called "Seven Stars Well". According to legend, wells are calibrated according to the names of the sun, the moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Seven Stars Well is about 8 meters deep, all made of standard stones, which is very strong. The well diameter is all round, and the well platform is square and round. The water quality in Seven Stars Well changes with the climate, with light water in rainy season and salty water in winter.

Seven Stars Well, Pinghai Town

Harbor Bay Turtle Nature Reserve: Located at the junction of Harbor Town and Honghai Bay in Huidong County, the reserve covers an area of 4 square kilometers, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, and the environment is very secluded. Since ancient times, it has been a natural place for turtles to lay eggs and breed ashore. Locals call it "Turtle Bay", which is the only spawning bed for Shanghai turtles on the 18,km coastline of mainland China. Harbor Turtle Nature Reserve is also the only turtle nature reserve on the global continental shelf, which can be called "a must in China".

route: first take the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, then drive for about 1km, then turn to the North Second Ring Road at the exit of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway at 1km, turn to the North Second Ring Road at Huocun Toll Station, drive for 4km, then turn to Guanghui Expressway at Luogang entrance and exit, and turn to Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway at Lingkeng. Guanghui Expressway is 153km long.

after transferring to Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway, drive eastward for about 11km to Baiyun Exit, and get off at Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway. After getting off the Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway at Baiyun Station, turn to National Highway 324, drive southeast for about 13km to Tai Po Tun, turn right at the T-junction here, turn right at the fork road for about 1km to Tiechong, about 9Km to Tiechong, and then pass through Chizhupai for about 15km to Pinghai County.

Player's comment:

Lao Chen: After getting off the expressway and seeing the road sign pointing to Pinghai, pay attention to the narrow road, and avoid the leisurely cattle crossing the road from time to time. However, the eyes will soon be suddenly enlightened and the endless sea will be displayed.

6. Forest Bath in Shimen Forest Park

Shimen National Forest Park is a national forest park approved by the Ministry of Forestry in 1995, and it is also the first international forest bathing place approved by the Ministry of Forestry. When you come to Shimen Forest, besides enjoying the red leaves in autumn, you can also climb mountains, play with water, like outdoor friends, cross over and camp. Of course, it is also a good enjoyment to come here to breathe fresh air and taste the fragrant tea and rough rice of farmers.

In the most windy area of the stone stove, there are some scenic spots such as Lotus Lake, Carp Slate, Dharma Footprints, Dun Di Xiang, Tianchi Lake and Primitive Secondary Forest. Along the Lotus Lake, you can climb to the top of the flag-planting at an altitude of 85 meters and overlook the beautiful scenery of the park. Before reaching the only remaining 16, mu of primary secondary forest in South China, there is a large grassland beside the reservoir and a stream flowing. It is a good place for camping, but you can't make a fire here without authorization, so as not to cause fire and damage the environment.

Shimen Forest Park

Route: Starting from Guangzhou, take Xinguangcong Highway, passing through the four towns of Taihe, Zhong Luotan, Taiping and Shengang, and then continue to exercise in the direction of hot springs through Conghua City. From the starting point of Xinguang Highway, it is about 65km, passing through Taihe and Tian Yongtai toll stations, and charging 15 yuan, you will see the road sign indicating to Nankun Mountain, and turn right into Provincial Highway 355.

Player's comment:

Riverside grass in Qingqing River: Turn left into Guangzhou section of Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway after entering Zhongshan Avenue of South China Expressway. This section of the road is obviously much better than the Beijing-Zhuhai-Yuebei section, and the road lines are clear and the signs are eye-catching. The scenery outside the window is very eye-catching, and the mountains, rivers and fields are pleasing to the eye. Go straight up the mountain along the sign of Shimen Forest Park. The speed limit on the mountain is 4 kilometers. Although the Panshan Highway is winding, it is very smooth. The car slowly climbs up the mountain without any difficulty. I feel that Shimen Forest Park is not famous, but its pastoral scenery can be regarded as a good place for leisure.

7. Hakka feelings in Sujiawei village

Sujiawei village believes in Su, and it is said that they are all descendants of Su Dongpo. Naturally, they are also Hakkas. The famous houses here are also Hakka enclosed houses, but they are not round dragon houses, but are surrounded by houses with straight rows. The side doors inside are mostly arches on the top of half a garden. The patio here is similar to the famous houses in southern Anhui, and they all have water.

There is another special thing in Sujiawei, that is, the village has preserved an unusually large number of slogans of various periods. Although these special historical impressions can be seen in most old villages in Heyuan and Meizhou,
