Yunfu Zen Town, a treasure vacation spot that combines the ancient Tang-style city and Zen cultural art street. It is not only a paradise for Hanfu enthusiasts but also a leisure destination that integrates eating, drinking, playing, and shopping. We chose to drive from Haizhu, Guangzhou 🚗 It took about 2 hours to easily reach Xinxing, Yunfu‼️ Zen Town has free admission 🎫 The quaint town incorporates Lingnan characteristics and Tang Dynasty cultural heritage. Zen music fills the air, making a stroll here very pleasant. In the Hanfu Pavilion, you can change clothes and style 📷. Wearing Hanfu, with fewer people and beautiful scenery, you can take photos without waiting 😌. The photos turn out great. We stayed at the Yabo Hotel in the scenic area 🏨 The environment is warm and comfortable, and the front desk service is enthusiastic ❤️. You can also go to the Nanyao Starry Sky Hot Spring Enjoy the hot spring while playing water mahjong. It's really fun. There are many performances in the evening!! The circus and acrobatics performances are spectacular 👏. The Fire God Parade and Fire Pot Performance at 9:30 PM are not to be missed‼️ On the second day, you can visit Guoen Temple. The environment is serene. Next to it is Longtan Lake Wetland Park, recommended for a stroll ❤️. This trip to Yunfu Zen Town 😌 We gained a lot of happiness and relaxation. Whether it is the quaint town, the warm homestay, the wonderful performances, or the serene temple, it is all unforgettable.

Zangfokeng is located on the east side of Sitian Village, Liuzu Town, Xinxing County, Guangdong Province. It is 3 kilometers away from Guoen Temple.
