💯 Fengkai is a hidden gem of a travel destination where you can avoid the crowds, enjoy beautiful scenery, and save a significant amount of money. A fantastic place to visit. I. Transportation Guide 1. Driving: Navigate directly to "Guangxin Tower." 2. Local travel: A small electric scooter is the most convenient option. II. Must-Visit Spots & Highlights ✅ [Guangxin Tower] Climb up for a bird's-eye view of the entire West River and the county town. ✅ [West River Viewing Platform] Watch cargo ships pass by on the river against a backdrop of rolling karst mountains; the sandy beach has a distinct Lingnan landscape vibe. ✅ [Riverside Lawn & Sunset Photo Spot] A large, flat grassy area where the evening sun sets behind the mountains, casting a gentle, orange glow. ✅ [The "Instagrammable" Curved Building] A retro red-brick building with a curved balcony—a niche photo spot. ✅ [West River Beach] On sunny days, the blue sky and white clouds over the West River are incredibly healing. III. Food & Rest 🍜 What to eat: Head to Jiangkou Old Street to try Fengkai specialties: Xinghua chicken, river seafood, Luodong beef jerky, Indian gooseberry (youganzi), and various congee, noodles, and rice noodle dishes. IV. ⚠️ Important Tips 1. Best time to visit: 4:00 PM–7:00 PM. Start by visiting the tower and taking photos of the river view, then wait for the sunset. If you want to see the night view, stay until dark when the tower lights turn on. 2. What to wear: Comfortable sneakers. It's windy by the river and can be slightly chilly in the evening. Light-colored clothing is great for photos. 3. Traveling with kids: Keep a close eye on children near the river and the edges of the viewing platform. There are many mosquitoes on the lawn, so mosquito repellent is a must.
Fengzhou Ancient City is actually Fengchuan Ancient City, located south of Beishan in Jiangkou Subdistrict, Fengkai County, Zhaoqing. It was first built in the Tang Dynasty, and the existing city wall was rebuilt in the 14th year of the Zhengtong reign of the Ming Dynasty (1450). It is one of the important birthplaces of Cantonese culture and the Cantonese language, and also an ancient "gateway to Guangdong and Guangxi." It is now open for free and has not been commercialized, making it suitable for a half-day cultural tour. Honestly, there aren't many ancient cities with zero commercialization left like this 👀 I. History and cultural background 📜 · City construction history: A city existed here since the Tang Dynasty. In the 14th year of the Zhengtong reign of the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate Chen Shun rebuilt it on the old site. Since then, it was repaired and rebuilt over 20 times until the Republic of China era, serving as the seat of Fengchuan County for a long time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fengchuan and Kaijian counties shared offices here. After the construction of embankments and roads in 1958, only the South Gate and about 400 meters of the city wall remain. · Gateway to Guangdong and Guangxi: Located at the confluence of the Xi River, He River, and Yong River, it was a node for Central Plains culture entering Lingnan and a transit station for the ancient Maritime Silk Road. During its peak in the Qing Dynasty, merchant ships carrying salt and goods traveled back and forth incessantly. · Origins of Guangxin: During the Han Dynasty, Guangxin County was established in this area. "East of Guangxin was Guangnan East Circuit, and west was Guangnan West Circuit," which is how Guangdong and Guangxi got their names. Fengkai is also the hometown of Mo Xuanqing, the first top scholar (Zhuangyuan) in Lingnan, with a long-standing tradition of valuing education. · A living fossil of Cantonese: The Fengchuan dialect retains many ancient Chinese pronunciations, and scholars consider Fengkai one of the birthplaces of Cantonese. Friends from Cantonese-speaking regions will really feel a connection in their DNA when they come here 🤯 II. What to see on-site (3 key spots) 🔍 · South City Gate (Changjing Gate): The lower part of the arched gate is made of reddish-brown sandstone, and the upper part is made of blue bricks. The original stone plaque inscribed with "Ancient Fengzhou" is missing, but standing under the gate, you can imagine the merchants coming and going back then. Sunlight hitting the sandstone makes for great photos 📸 · Inscribed city bricks: The blue bricks are approximately 34 × 16.5 × 6 cm in size, with "Fengchuan City Brick," "Made by Fengchuan County," or "Made by Fengchuan Army" stamped on the sides. Looking down to find these bricks is the most worthwhile detail of this trip. It is like opening a blind box; every one you find is a surprise ✨ · Streets and alleys inside the ancient city: Original residents still live here. Old blue-brick houses, ancient wells, and stone-paved roads are mixed with the hustle and bustle of daily life. Outside the city, the old street still retains more than 20 shops from the mid-Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China era. ⚠️ Provincial cultural relic protection site. Climbing the city walls or carving on bricks and stones is prohibited. People live inside, so please keep your voice down and walk gently~ III. Suggested itinerary (half-day to one day) 🗺️ · Half-day itinerary: 9:00–11:00 AM, explore Fengchuan Ancient City (find inscribed bricks, take photos of the South Gate) → Eat bamboo pole noodles or fresh meat wontons in Jiangkou town → Afternoon, climb Guangxin Tower to see the clear and murky waters of the Xi River and He River converge, and watch the tower light up in the evening. · One-day itinerary: Ancient City + Guangxin Cultural Park + Ancient Pier + Fengkai Museum. All are around the town, just a few minutes' drive apart. · Two-day, one-night itinerary: Day 1: Guangxin Tower + He River Greenway; Day 2: Yangchi Ancient Village + Longshan Cave (combo ticket about CNY 80) + Daban Stone. Attractions are scattered, so driving is recommended. IV. Food and transportation 🍜 · Must-eats: Fengkai Xinghua chicken (the white-cut version shows the most skill), He River fresh seafood, and Luodong beef jerky. These are available in the town and around the scenic spots. The Xinghua chicken is truly amazing; it is incredibly fresh 🐔 · Transportation: Driving from Guangzhou via the Guangfozhao Expressway takes about 3 hours. The attractions within the town are close to each other; buses are available but time-consuming. · Admission: The ancient city, the riverside section around Guangxin Tower, and Yangchi Ancient Village are all free. Climbing Guangxin Tower is also free (please check the on-site notice for the latest information). Summary in one sentence ✍️ If you come for the "birthplace of Cantonese," "original Ming Dynasty brick city walls," and "zero commercialization," Fengchuan Ancient City is worth a trip. Don't expect it to be as lively as Lijiang; its value lies precisely in its quietness. With few crowds, beautiful scenery, and free admission, this kind of hidden gem is truly worth visiting and cherishing 🥹

The incense is very popular. This is the first time I have seen such a large incense coil. I like the smell of incense in the temple! Ringing the bell and beating the drum are free. The staff at the ticket gate will help keep the luggage. It is very suitable to bring parents around. ...
Anonymous userThe overall scenery is average, and admission is free for locals. Entering from the north gate reveals the newly built Dragon Mother Temple. It's recommended to enter from the southwest gate to see the old temple, which is more popular with worshippers. The path to the Dragon Mother statue is entirely up to steps, which might be a bit strenuous for those with mobility issues; if you walk quickly, you can complete the tour in about an hour.
Anonymous userExploring Wuzhou was a breezy adventure — especially discovering White Cloud Mountain! 🌳🏞️ If you’re a Sri Lankan traveler (or just love lush forest vibes), worry not: this isn’t a “hardcore” high-altitude climb, but a gentle escape into nature with that classic rain forest feel.My Tip: Don’t be intimidated by the word “mountain”—it's more of a green hill with shady woodland paths, great for a chill walk or picnic. Even during the rainy season, it’s not slippery or dangerous, so you can enjoy the natural mist and fresh air. Wear comfy walking shoes; the trails suit all fitness levels.Food Recommendation: There are a few neighborhood noodle shops nearby — try the Guilin Rice Noodles for a quick bite after your hike.Travel Tips: No need for advanced tickets or special gear. The weather is humid but manageable (an umbrella helps if you visit in rainy season). Cash or mobile payments both work, but always good to have some yuan.#Wuzhou #WhiteCloudMountain #ChinaNature #RainForestVibes #tripdotcom
rash24Walking along the stone paths of the Cultural Park, I was met by quaint buildings with soaring eaves, carved beams, and painted rafters, imbued with Lingnan style. Each building seemed to tell a story from the past, inviting me to stop and admire. The park was shaded by lush trees and vibrant flowers, and the air was filled with a delicate fragrance, creating a refreshing and soothing atmosphere. What captivated me most was the exquisite Lingnan Garden. It featured flowing bridges, rockery, ponds, pavilions, and towers, all ingeniously laid out, offering a unique scene at every turn. Strolling along the winding paths, admiring the koi carp frolicking in the pond and listening to the distant birdsong, I felt as if I had lost track of time. In the Cultural Park's exhibition area, I also saw many traditional Lingnan handicrafts, such as exquisite Guangdong embroidery, delicate ceramics, and unique paper-cuts. These works showcase the wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the Lingnan people and gave me a deeper understanding of Lingnan culture. This trip to Lingnan Cultural Park allowed me to appreciate the unique charm of Lingnan culture and made me love this land full of cultural heritage even more.
可乐的小黑猫The interactive underwater boat is a lifesaver for families with kids! We rode in a small car slowly into the whale shark exhibit, watching schools of fish swim by up close through the portholes. My child exclaimed, "It feels like we're in a submarine!" The unique perspective from the boat allowed us to see whale sharks and schools of fish gathering, keeping the kids entertained. We even bought a cute and practical whale shark plush toy at the exit shop. The marine wonders area was clean and bright, and although it was indoors, it wasn't stuffy at all. The staff explained things in soft, professional voices, without being loud or disruptive. While the queues were long, the interactive screens kept us entertained.
M18***86For families with children, it's definitely worth a visit! Visiting the entire park in one day would be very rushed and tiring, leaving your knees sore. For a better experience, I recommend two days and one night. The park has a wide variety of animals, and the cable car and miniature train are quite unique; children had a great time. The staff are very friendly, patiently answering questions and engaging in friendly interactions. If I had to complain, firstly, the food prices inside the park are relatively high (although the Chinese food was okay); secondly, the smell was too pungent when the miniature train passed the bird area (I wonder how this can be improved); and thirdly, the prices in the interactive areas are also quite expensive (for example, feeding the giraffes costs 36 yuan for a single branch!!!). Overall, I highly recommend it for families with children!
深蓝和江河I think 300 yuan per person is great value for money. It includes a free cable car ride for a panoramic view of the entire park, and a free mini-train ride for a close-up look at the animals on the African savanna – you get to see everything from different angles. We also spent 300 yuan to drive through the park and get a more intimate look at the animals – a very immersive experience. It wasn't the weekend, so it wasn't too crowded. The park staff were very responsible in their explanations. We also ordered a three-person set meal inside the park, which was a bit pricey, but reasonable for the park's price.
苏美丽呀When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.
M45***48It was fun! Falling is instantaneous, but the coolness lasts a lifetime. The slide down from top to bottom was incredibly smooth. The only downside was that the other side of the slide wasn't open. Adults can use the group-buying voucher, but kids need to buy gloves, rent helmets and turtle protective gear. We bought a package for 228 yuan on-site. I recommend bringing thick socks, leggings, a thick hat, and waterproof gloves. The turtle protective gear is somewhat useful, making it easier to climb back up. The helmet doesn't feel like much. Adults are advised to use the group-buying voucher. After playing, bring an extra set of socks and pants in case they get wet. It's best to bring lotion; after three hours in the cold, you'll be itchy all over.
Anonymous userMy tip for Canton Tower is to head straight up to the Bubble Tram as soon as you get inside. We waited about an hour to get on, so I’d get that queue out of the way first. Then you can take your time exploring the levels below without thinking about how long the line might be. The level just below the tram is beautiful too, so definitely stop there on your way down.My wife and I really enjoyed the ride. From that high up, you can see Guangzhou in every direction. The bubble moves slowly enough that you have time to take photos of one side of the city, put your phone down and enjoy the view, then see a different part of the skyline as you come around. Even though we shared the bubble with other people, it still felt romantic seeing the city like that together. I’d recommend it for couples, but it would be a fun thing to do with friends or family too. For us, the view was worth the wait!
