Around Dongguan! A hidden gem for family stream tracing.

1.5 hours' drive from Dongguan 🚗 is a fragrant secret place! All activities here are centered around "fragrance" ⛰Hiking and stream tracing💦Waterfall♨Private hot spring 🏕Camping🌿Fragrance tasting🎐Handicraft You can take your kids to enjoy a cool summer vacation in nature🍃 🏡Eco-friendly B&B We stayed at "Tianxiangli", a tranquil and elegant Zen aesthetic, with a large mountain view glass window 🪟 full of greenery, and the sound of running water, giving you a feeling of living in the mountains. There are aromatic plant specimens on the wall (kids love it), and they also provide mountain spring water and aromatic tea bags (for tea tasting). There are also special herbal bath bags and disposable bathtub covers (for health SPA), and special aromatic pillows to help you sleep at night😴 🍃A must-go place to escape the summer heat The stream here is natural and pure mountain spring water, a perfect place for family water play! The stream is crystal clear, and the water is cool and refreshing. Kids will have a great time playing in the shallow water! You can also bring a water gun🔫 to play with~ If you play in deep water, be sure to pay attention to safety. Our kid is a swimming expert, and he was "wild swimming" under our supervision🤭 🙌🏻We participated in three activities 🌿Aromatic experience Plant dyeing🍂Pick various leaves and print a unique canvas bag Sachet DIY📿Make sachets with different effects by using spices from Qixidi There are also activities such as DIY aromatic bead bracelets, plant tie-dyeing, and aromatic gatherings, which we missed this time, but we look forward to coming back next time! 🚶Hiking to the waterfall The whole journey is 3 km, with a guide to lead the way and explain, passing through rice fields🌾 and fragrant plants, accompanied by the sound of birds and insects🐞. Along the way, you can teach your kids about plants, and you can see beautiful waterfalls and clear springs🍃. It's a great place to escape the summer heat, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. ⚠️Be prepared for mosquitoes when hiking and stream tracing, as there are many mosquitoes in the mountains! 🥘About dining: The Taoxiang Restaurant in the scenic area is very good, and many of the dishes are organic and cooked with spices grown in the area. You can sit by the window and enjoy the beautiful view of "Peach Blossom Island" in the middle of the lake (pictures 2-6), like a fairyland🕊️ There are not many restaurants here, and no supermarkets, so it is recommended to bring some snacks. If you drive, you can go to the nearby villages to find some delicious farm food🪿 🌳Scenic area｜Qixidi 🏡Accommodation｜Tianxiangli B&B 📍Address｜No. 1, Qixi Road, Shiqian Village, Huadong Town, Huadu District, Guangzhou 🚗Transportation｜Self-driving is recommended, 1.5 hours from downtown Dongguan
