--- **📍Itinerary: Hot Springs + Food + Ancient Village, Relax and Vacation Both Covered!** 👉 **Day 1: Hot Spring Healing Session** - **Shanquanwan Hot Spring**♨️: Soak in the "Beauty Bath," 70℃ sodium bicarbonate spring feels as smooth as a milk bath (but don’t follow my lead soaking too long, I got dizzy and almost floated away…). - **Scarecrow Farm**🌾: Take pastoral style photos, feed the lambs 🐑, but ended up being chased by goats for snacks, sprinted my fastest 100 meters ever. - **Le Cai Feast**🍲: Enping’s specialty wild vegetables, slightly bitter then sweet, recommend Le Cai Tea Emperor Shrimp + Le Cai Coconut Jelly, felt like it could "detoxify all poisons" (psychological effect maxed out). 👉 **Day 2: Ancient Village + Cultural Check-in** - **Xie Ma Juren Village**🏯: Ming and Qing dynasty ancient village, home to 285 Juren (successful candidates in imperial exams)! Touch the "Merit Stele Forest" to pray for exam luck (no matter how much top students spray study mist, nothing beats a touch). - **Enping Museum**📚: Free! Learn about Feng Ru’s aviation history, the airplane models are super cool, but don’t try to sneak a touch like I did, got a warning look from security ⚠️. - **Big Bell Tower**⏰: 90-year-old building, perfect for vintage-style photos, but mosquitoes are so many they could form a symphony orchestra, mosquito repellent is a lifesaver! --- **🍜 Food Hits and Misses:** ✅ **Must-Try List** - **Eel Rice**🍚: At Peace Hotel, eel mixed rice is so fragrant you’ll lick the pot, 25 RMB/serving, the crispy rice crust is the soul! - **Enping Lai Fen (Rice Noodles)**🍜: Cai Ji old brand, old duck herbal soup base, soft and flavorful, locals’ breakfast favorite. - **Beef Tendon Skin**🐮: Crispy and chewy like beef tendon, dipping sauce makes it more delicious, a "quirky" but truly tasty Enping snack! ❌ **Avoid Guide** - **Scenic Area Coconut Chicken**🐔: 168 RMB/pot, not as tasty as the 88 RMB street stall version, unless you want to pay an "environment tax." - **Internet-famous Milk Tea Shop**🧋: Tastes like sugary syrup + flavoring, not as good as the 3 RMB herbal tea from street vendors (bitter to the soul but cools you down). --- **💡 Practical Tips:** 1️⃣ **Transportation**🚗: 2 hours driving from Guangzhou, or take high-speed rail to Enping Station then taxi (attractions are scattered, renting a car is recommended). 2️⃣ **Accommodation**🏨: - Budget: city hotels (200 RMB/night), - Boutique: Shanquanwan Hot Spring Hotel (500 RMB+, unlimited hot spring baths). 3️⃣ **Mosquito & Sun Protection!**🦟🌞: Ancient villages + hot springs double attack, mosquito repellent and cooling sleeves are must-haves! --- **✨ Personal Feelings:** Enping is a "Buddhist-style" small city— ✅ **Most Healing**: Night soak at Shanquanwan Hot Spring, look up at the stars ✨, sip ice-cold cola, life is complete~ ❌ **Most Frustrating**: Got lost wandering in Xie Ma Village for half an hour, finally a villager gave me a ride back to the parking lot on a motorcycle…😅 **In short, Enping is perfect for "being a cultured person by day, a hot spring bum by night," remember to bring enough appetite and mosquito repellent!** ---
