Conghua District Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Xitou Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Conghua is a super nourishing and calming small mountain village
Conghua is a heavenly paradise in Guangdong, whether you come early or late, its scenery is always different. When night falls, it's quiet, listening to the stream flowing by, the chirping of crickets and other insects, sleeping at night feels like you can hear your own heartbeat, it's really quiet.
When you get up early in the morning, the fog is all over the mountains, the local villagers get up early to water the vegetable fields, and the clear stream. The vegetables grown by the stream absorbing the fog water taste particularly crisp and sweet.
Although the transportation is not that convenient, the locals are self-sufficient, the accommodation and restaurants are very good, the farmhouse dishes and local specialties are recommended to go in the afternoon, stay for one night and get up the next day to see the slowly dissipating fog here, it's really beautiful. It's a few kilometers from Xitou Village to Xiaxi Village Danfeng Covered Bridge by navigation, where the maple leaves are particularly beautiful in spring and autumn, and there are people picnicking by the stream from time to time. After getting used to the busy life in the big city, it's nice to come here to calm down.

You can feel the baptism of the waterfall before you get close. The wonders of nature
There are 5 photogenic positions before and after the waterfall
I saw some amusement facilities are being built, I guess it will be more fun in the future

Happiness is here and now The most comfortable walking route I've ever taken in Guangzhou! Enchanted Forest
Conghua and Zengcheng are really treasure places.
Besides Qianlong Gully, Baishui Village, and Baijiang Lake,
I also found a less-known primitive forest
with many centuries-old trees, and the river flowing through it is very much like the primitive forests seen in documentaries.
It's hard to believe it's in Guangzhou unless you see it with your own eyes.
It's just too beautiful and healing.
