the Qianlonggou Great Falls 🌹🍀❤️
Finally, we reach the Qianlonggou waterfalls! after a 30mins hike, passing through the Bamboo forest, tens of streams and a water park... there it is infront of my eyes! With a drop of more than 80 meters and a width of more than 290 meters, this falls is truly spectacular. They call it the "Millenium falls". Surrounded by the lushious green, good oxygen, this scenic spot is must see!
Detailed attraction location:
Qianlonggou waterfalls, Jincun, Liangkou town, Conghua district, Guangzhou city (about 2km from Xitou village)

Shuilongyin Waterpark 😍
Shuilongyin waterpark is one of the scenic spots that you will encounter on your way to see the Qianlonggou Great Falls if you choose to hike up.
This area serves as the resting area after a thorough hike uphill. Get in the fresh cold water, soak.up! (make sure you got extra dry clothes to change up after playing on the water). it has little stools and chairs on the side where you can eat and drink some snacks while chilling. Hearing the water splashes will truly relax you. ❤️
If i can give a rating for fun and the scenic area itself, this is definitely a 👍👍👍👍👍

Hiking up through Bamboo Forest 🤟
On our way to see the Qianlonggou Great Falls, you got two options. Go.straight to the top of the mountain to see the waterfalls right away, Or, exercise your legs as you hike up through the bamboo forest. We opted to do the second choice. So we hike up! a short 30mins to 40mins hike through the bamboo forest and you will be amazed with the scenery. The bamboo trees are gorgeous! a good backdrop for selfies and you bet, very instagrammable! So if you are a nature lover kind of a person, you.might as well check this place out. You can find the Bamboo Forest in Liangkou town, Conghua district, in Guangzhou city.

Xituo village plains is a real solemn place. Quiet and serene. Sometimes used as a base for astronomy and photo enthusiast as the site transforms to a star-gazing venue. Also these plains will lead you to a few famous trails for hikers and trekkers. 🤟🌈🌿

Xitou plains... ❤️
Xitou village consists of beautiful and green mountains, clear waters, and gorgeous plains.
For sometime, it was reffered as "the most beautiful village in Guangdong province". They even call it as "the longevity village". This village is a famous natural village around Guangzhou.
Considered as a paradise for cross-country trekking as this village offers trails for hikers including the famous "Shadow Ancient trail" and "Xingxi trail" which are really popular for hikers.
To top it off, this Xitou plains is the most ideal star-gazing spot around Guangzhou. Local and foreign tourist camp out here from time to time to watch the meteor shower phenomenon happened a few times.

Xitou Stone Alley
Xitou Stone Alley is the much larger street in the village of Xitou. There are quaint houses and structures on both sides of the streets. Interesting small houses made out of bricks (plain and some were colored bricks). And the whole road side is full of stores and little kiosks of local specialties.
Xitou Stone Alley is a old-looking street yet a very commercial one. A remote tourist village they say.
How to get there:
Self drive is much preferred because of the remoteness of the place.
Or grab a didi ride.
Tickets: FREE
Detailed address: Xitou village, Liangkou town, Conghua district, Guangzhou city

Xitou village market
Xitou village is located in Liangkou Town, Conghua district in Guangzhou city. A little local market is on the entry of the village. As soon as you enter the market, you will see and smell the scent those dried fish and dried squids on the side of the street. Different kinds of fresh fruits local produce are sold here. (my first time to see a yellow dragon fruit). Some odd looking cucumber. As well as products made out from bamboo and wooden stuffs. There are some rice crisp and local candies are also being sold here. And the prices are cheap! Really affordable. 👍👍👍

Food tripping in Xitou! 😍
Whats the best way to indulge yourself to the local culture of the place you're visiting? You gotta try their food. Yes! 😋 I swear i want to try to taste them all. 😋😍🥰 But these are the foods that stood out from the rest (in my own opinion)
I was fascinated how they prepare the "chicken bamboo rice". Meticulous yet simple steps. And the end result, divine!!!
The veggie fritters! ❤️ Different vegetables soaked on a batter then deep fry! i really love those! oily, crunchy and healthy. And its cheap! only 2rmb per piece.
The savory donuts! soft and pillowy donuts sprinkled with some nutmeg, nuts and cinnamon. Yummmmm! 😋
All of these and more. Check out Xitou village, Liangkou town, Conghua district, Guangzhou

Yuexiu homestay, Guangzhou
I'm just admiring this homestay we found just outside Yuexiu Park, one of the big urban park in Guangzhou. ❤️
Since I like old school antiques, I am really fascinated how the interior is designed.
It got 3 spacious bedrooms with 3 baths, a living room, kitchen and dining room.
Every single detail of decoration is well-thought of. The landlady said its a mixed of modern and Chinese culture designs. From the lamps, the bed frame, the dining set, the tea set, everything in the house just flows.
We stayed 3 days and 2 nights.
Price worth: good and affordable
Not to mention the location of this homestay is also good. A lot of small food shops and fast food chains around the area.
Shopping for souvenirs is also no problem. The small shops got a variety of items they're selling.
Nice ambiance. ❤️

Antique hunting in Shamian, GZ
We were so skeptical if we goin inside or not on this antique shop inside Shamian Island.
But we did it anyways.
Antiques got no boundaries.
As long as it is old, it will have a value.
From jewelries such as yellow stone pendants, pearl earrings, figurines worth 480,00rmb, whew!
Paintings, teacups, authentic China ware plates, grand piano dated 1929. A lyric sheet older than me. They also have a jukebox. They even have a complete dining set. Big clocks are just eerie to me hahaha. After checking every collection, at the end of the day, we bought a vintage ring worth 1300rmb. Really pretty. ❤️
This is one for the book. 👍

Shamian Island, Guangzhou
We are first timers trippers in Guangzhou. We head straight to Shamian Island. A little solemn and chill out community in the city of Guangzhou with great European architecture and mixed with Chinese culture. Regardless of the large number of tourists roaming around and the busy streets, the island maintained their exclusive serenity.
The houses, shops and not-so-tall buildings around the island are obviously inspired by the Westerners. The roads on some part of the island are cobblestones. I think I've seen one of the coolest Starbucks too on this island. On one corner of it, near the river, you will see a huge number of locals performing wing-chun (that Kungfu taught by Master IP to Bruce Lee), some are doing tai-chi, and some are chorus singing. A lot of statues scattered around the park. Very Instagramable. Selfie-friendly.
There's tons of restaurants to choose from when you get hungry, but I strongly suggest go to Macau Restaurant for they serve really, really good food.
Give it a visit. I'm sure you'll like it.
