Gulong Gorge

🍃The weekend is here, are you still worried about where to relax? I have discovered two hidden treasures deep in the mountains of Guangdong—the millennium Yao Village and Youling Yao Village. Just 2 hours from Guangzhou, you can experience a different kind of tranquility and beauty! 🏞️The millennium Yao Village is like a dazzling pearl nestled in the mountains of Qingyuan. Although it's a bit commercialized, the scenery is definitely worth stopping for. Climbing up the long stairs, you can take in the continuous mountain peaks as if you are in the midst of a magnificent painting. 🌄At sunset, the golden afterglow sprinkled on the mountains is even more breathtakingly beautiful. 🌌Youling Yao Village, on the other hand, is more pristine, like a secluded paradise cut off from the world. At night, you can join the bonfire party, dance and sing with the Yao people, and feel the strong ethnic customs. 🔥Under the light of the bonfire, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. 🚗For transportation, it is recommended to drive there, which is more convenient for exploring the surrounding beauty. The ticket price is also very affordable, around 100 yuan for a whole day of fun. 🎫 💡Here are some tips! 1️⃣ There are a variety of ethnic minority costumes available for rent at very friendly prices. Wearing them for photos is simply stunning! 📸 2️⃣ When choosing a homestay, remember to pick one with a good window view, so you can enjoy the charming sunrise every morning when you wake up, which is truly a pleasure! 🌅 3️⃣ Don't miss the sunrise and sunset here, every moment is breathtakingly beautiful. 🌅🌄 4️⃣ The millennium Yao Village has several exciting performances every day, and there are bonfire parties on weekends. Be sure to join if you're interested! 💃 🌈Come and join me, measure this mysterious land with your footsteps! Feel the charm of nature and experience a different weekend time!
