Many travel guides for Jieyang recommended seeing the Yingge dance performance, so I specifically planned to go. The theater is quite a drive from the city center. It felt like the entire scenic area was set up for the Yingge dance performance; besides the theater, there wasn't much else to see. Arriving early, I had nothing to do but order a drink and wait. The area was deserted until it gradually started to get busier closer to the performance. Although the attendance wasn't high, the performance was still very entertaining; those interested should definitely check it out.

The best tourist attraction in winter, the scenery is also beautiful. The water is very clear, which should be the effect of regular cleaning of the pool. The large pool facilities are also relatively complete, such as underwater massage beds, massage chairs, etc. The important thing is that there are many Chinese medicine pools, milk pools, etc.

I didn't expect to see such a nice City God Temple here. It is clean and tidy. The colorful porcelain sculptures on the roof are so beautiful. There are many gods enshrined in the temple, and they look calm. There is an endless stream of devout believers coming here.

First of all, the attractions in Jieyang are all very close together. You can probably see everything in a day. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is a must-see. Nearby are the City God Temple, Shuangfeng Temple, Jinxian Gate, the museum, etc. So you can use this as a starting point to begin your Jieyang trip. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is one of the three major Confucian temples in Guangdong, and it's closed on Mondays!

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!
