Tucked away in the city, the hotel offers breathtaking views from the door. The wooden-style rooms feature tatami mats and the aroma of tea is a welcome touch. The landlady's handmade breakfast is amazing, and I couldn't bear to leave after staying three nights. It's truly a relaxing experience!
Ticketing is a convenient experience, available online or on-site. Verification at the entrance to the scenic area is smooth, and while there may be queues during peak season, the order is generally good.
The Yongding Tulou are a frozen epic, with round and square buildings nestled against the mountainside, their thick earthen walls resembling historical armor, and their distinct clan structures. The authentic Hakka culture blends with architectural wisdom. While some traces of commercialization are evident, their awe-inspiring status as a "world's most unique folk house" remains undisputed.

This is my second time to visit Guanzhi Mountain in Liancheng. More than ten years ago, it had not been developed to its current level. The mountains here are unique, with typical karst landforms. You can spend a whole day here. Climbing is not very tiring, but you need to enter the park early. After coming down the mountain in the afternoon, it was said that it was full and stopped accepting guests at 14:30. It is really worth a visit!
It was my first time to visit Guanzhi Mountain. I personally felt that the scenery was OK, but not particularly amazing. There is a section of the mountain where you can take a ladder to go up, which saves a lot of energy. If you have never been here, you can come and experience it. My personal suggestion is to try not to come in the afternoon. We arrived the day before, but they stopped selling tickets for that day.

Love it here! Very ancient charm. I really like it. Introduced by a friend, the network did not have much introduction, not found by too many friends, it is very casual, mainly a balcony, spacious and comfortable, can be touched by the sun to the room will not be too bad. Very close to the attractions, many live broadcasts, the reality is a bit big, friends recognize the place, I think it must be very good!
The night view is beautiful, I suggest you don't miss it. The cultural and tourism department is also very attentive, orderly, not so crowded, and with a strong sense of atmosphere. You can overlook the entire night view of the river when you go up to the pavilion. You can also see the Gutingzhou wedding performance at night!

Fujian Tulou, a treasure of traditional folk houses, shows the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation with its unique form and color. These castles built of mud and stone have profound historical and cultural connotations. Each Tulou tells a unique story and inherits the rich folk culture of Fujian.
This scenic spot has a beautiful environment and convenient parking. The formation history, internal layout and structure of the Hakka earth building fully reflect the cohesion and wisdom of the Hakka ancestors and clansmen. The doorposts contain family mottos to warn descendants and pass on family traditions. I gained some insights during the visit and it is worth a visit.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the tea garden is well-proportioned! The pink petals dotted on the ground and the blue sky are a perfect contrast! The pink heart 💕 carved pillars allow couples or young girls to witness the true meaning of love!
Because we decided to go there on a whim, we didn't arrive until 5pm. The customer service number was hard to get through, but we got a number from somewhere else. Fortunately, the customer service told us to go directly to the second parking lot. We walked a short distance from the entrance to the train. The park is quite large, and we don't like to walk far, but the train alone is very beautiful.
