Isn’t it true that when winter comes, we southerners feel itchy and always want to see snow? Today I will tell you about some great places to enjoy snow around Guangdong👏. Nanyue Hengshan ⛰️ It is quite convenient to go to Hengshan from Guangdong. If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it only takes two and a half hours to drive from Guangzhou South to Hengshan West Station. If you start from Shenzhen North, it will take about two hours. Get off at Hengshan West Station, then transfer to a bus, and you can reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain in about 15 minutes. For those who drive by themselves, it takes about five hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Hengshan is from the end of December to February of the following year. There are not many accommodation places in the scenic area, mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. If it snows, the sightseeing bus may be out of service, so we can only walk up on our own two legs. If you are not very physically strong, you can split the trip into two days. I think staying halfway up the mountain is a good choice. It’s about 5 kilometers of hiking from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. It usually takes about two and a half hours to walk. Not too tiring. Hengshan is quite cost-effective among the rime-viewing places around Guangdong, but there are relatively few places to stay, and it may take some effort to go up the mountain. Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area ⛰️ If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes one and a half hours from Guangzhou South to Chenzhou Station, and two hours from Shenzhen North to Chenzhou Station. After leaving Chenzhou Station, it takes about an hour and a half to take a taxi to Mangshan, and it takes about four hours to drive there. The viewing period of Mangshan is also from the end of December to February. The accommodation there is mainly concentrated near Ximen. There are hot spring hotels, but the prices are a bit high. The advantage of Mangshan is that you can not only enjoy the snow scenery, but also enjoy the hot springs comfortably. The key is that you don’t have to climb the mountain. It is perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the snow easily. Jiangxi Lushan ⛰️ If you go from Guangzhou South to Lushan Station, you need to change trains, which takes about five hours in total; if you take the train from Guangzhou Station to Jiujiang Station, it will take 13 hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Lushan Mountain is from the end of December to February. There are many B&Bs and hotels on the mountain, but in the peak snow season, the price is generally between 500 and 1,000 yuan. The snow scene in Lushan Mountain is quite unique. The snow is thick and not inferior to the snow scene in the north. You can have fun building a snowman there. Let me summarize it for you: Hengshan: Among the rime viewing options around Guangdong, the cost is relatively reasonable, but there are few accommodation places, and you may have to hike up the mountain when it snows. Mangshan: You can enjoy the snow and soak in hot springs without having to climb the mountain. There are many accommodation options in Ximen, among which hot spring hotels are more expensive. Lushan Mountain: The snow scenery is quite unique, the snow is abundant, and there are various accommodations on the mountain. The price increases to a certain extent in the peak season. You can choose the snow viewing destination you want to go to based on your actual situation, such as budget, physical strength, etc.

You can see snow in 2 hours by high-speed train from Guangdong If people from Guangdong want to experience the snow scene, they don’t need to go far to the north.

It’s not that Harbin can’t afford to go there, but Mount Hengshan in Nanyue is more cost-effective. It’s not that Harbin can’t afford to go there, but Mount Hengshan is more cost-effective! The closest snow viewing spot for Guangdong people to see snow and rime is Nanyue Hengshan Mountain, which is this weekend. It’s going to snow in Hengshan Mountain! ! !

According to the weather forecast, if the temperature is below 5 degrees and it rains, there is a high probability of rime. How difficult is Hengshan? The difficulty is not high and I personally don’t feel tired. Children who exercise regularly can also climb it in two days. Day 1: Hike 7km to the mountainside inn. Day 2: Half Mountain Inn - Zhurong Peak (top of the mountain), 5km. Can I take the bus up the mountain? The sightseeing bus can go directly to Nantianmen. During the rime season, sightseeing buses will operate depending on the icy conditions on the road. Climbing time: Start at 7:30 am! Ticket sales stop at 14:00 during rime season. Is there snow only on the top of the mountain? There is snow halfway up the mountain. The goal is to see the snow, and there is no need to force yourself to reach the top.

A lovely mountain. We took the bus up and walked down giving us a chance to see all the temples. A long hike but mainly downhill. It is a one hour hike from the bus stop to the peak. There is another temple 2.4 km from the path to the summit. It is called Guanji temple and is worth a trek if you have the energy. Cost 110rmb for the mountain and 78 rmb for the bus.

it was amazing experience. The snow made the scenery so magical that cannot be described. felt like a wonderland. The nearest fast train station is Hengshan west. You need to go to entry point of Hengshan mountain which is around 25 minutes from train station. there are three destinations for the bus. try to take the most too as than you will have to walk less to reach on top. the last bus goes there at 2.00 pm and last bus comes down is 6.00 pm. you need at least 6 hours to go on top and come back if its snow. so plan accordingly. hiking shoes, warm cloths, rain coat and hiking stick are must. #tigeryear2022

Jinjia Ancient Town (Zhuhui, Hengyang) 🥕Notes: 1️⃣ Jin Jia Ridge chicken radish is very famous—crisp, tender, spicy, and sweet, with a golden color that is very tempting. It is a well-known local specialty in Hengyang, so when I saw Jinjia Ancient Town on the map, I decided to go check it out. 2️⃣ Take bus route 111 directly to Jin Jia Ridge. After getting off, it feels like a typical somewhat remote town. Walking navigation to "Jinjia Ancient Town," passing by some shops, two or three of which sell Jin Jia Ridge chicken radishes. The destination is the "Stone Archway" of Jinjia Ancient Town. Possibly due to few tourists, some specialty shops near the archway were closed. 3️⃣ Passing through the archway, you can roam freely. The main attraction is a lake with wooden boardwalks, wooden bridges, pavilions, and corridors. Some boardwalk areas have grown a lot of plants, showing that not many people walk here, but today there were still six or seven visitors. The place is small; you can take a stroll and sit in the pavilion on the lake to enjoy a quiet autumn. 4️⃣ There are actually some quite new "sculptures" in the scenic area, such as the Jin Jia Ridge radish sculpture, plants trimmed into shapes of wild geese and other animals. I think some events might be held here during holidays. 5️⃣ One spot surprised me: a row of tall trees with branches full of green leaves and yellow fruits that look a bit like small starfruits. With today's cloudy weather, the autumn atmosphere felt very strong. These trees are probably Koelreuteria or Koelreuteria bipinnata. 6️⃣ The scenic area has restrooms, overall clean, with water; marked on the map, you can navigate directly there. 7️⃣ Locals can come here to stroll when they have time, but for out-of-town tourists with tight schedules, it is not highly recommended. 🥕Location: Inside Chashan'ao Town, Zhuhui District, Hengyang City, Hunan Province.

Walking on the streets of Hengyang, the air is filled with the fresh scent of the Xiang River and the familiar aroma of chili peppers, making you want to take a deep breath and brightening your mood. This time, I specially chose a well-reviewed hotel—the Vienna International Hotel (Hengyang Yanzi Lake Park Triumph Lake View Waterfront Branch)—for a spontaneous trip to experience a peaceful oasis in the city.🌲🏞️ 🌟The picturesque view by the window🎨 As soon as I entered the room, I was captivated by the beautiful scenery outside the window. The surface of Yanzi Lake sparkled, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, like a flowing painting. Sitting on the lounge chair by the window with a cup of Hunan jasmine tea, all my fatigue vanished in that moment.🌿 🎉The wonderful experience of smart living💡 A major highlight of this hotel is the whole-house intelligent voice system. With just a simple command, you can control the lights, curtains, and air conditioning at will. Especially at night, lying in bed and adjusting the indoor temperature is so convenient that you won’t want to let go. NIGHT MODE is on, and a good night’s sleep begins.🌙 🍽️Happy moments on the palate🍜 The hotel’s dining is equally delightful. Whether it’s the spicy and fresh flavors of Hunan cuisine or the light and tasty Cantonese dishes, you can find them here. I especially recommend their buffet breakfast, which offers a wide variety, including traditional Hunan rice noodles and exquisite Western-style bread, satisfying different tastes. Starting every morning here fills you with energy!🌞 👪A warm haven for family trips🏠 For friends traveling with family, this is also an ideal choice. The hotel not only provides spacious and comfortable rooms but also has entertainment facilities designed especially for children, such as a chess and card room, so both adults and kids can find their own fun. Family trips should be this warm and enjoyable!👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 After a day of sightseeing, returning to this cozy little nest fills my heart with longing for a beautiful life.

If you like places like this, consider staying here—I believe it will bring you a different kind of surprise!🎁

A private trip during the National Day holiday with fewer people, beautiful scenery, off-the-beaten-path destinations + popular spots avoiding crowds, Guilin Quanzhou + Yangshuo, sharing a five-day four-night itinerary with everyone～ Day 1️⃣ Depart from Changsha, self-drive to Guilin Quanzhou, about 380 kilometers and 4.5 hours in total. Considering rest and electric car charging, we chose to rest and explore in Hengyang. 📍Nanyueli is an ancient-style street area at the foot of Mount Hengshan, with rich folk performances during the National Day holiday. Hengyang marinated rice noodles are also very delicious. Stay at 📍Quanzhou Tianlongwan Puyue Hotel, a luxury hotel 🏨 Only 200+ RMB during the National Day period, completely exceeding expectations! Day 2️⃣ Quanzhou Tianhu + Biyu Pond Drive about 1.5 hours to 📍Tianhu Reservoir. Although the mountain road is a bit rugged, it is a two-lane road and easy to drive. The altitude rises along the way, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. Tianhu started charging an entrance fee from September 1 this year 🎫, 36 RMB per person, very cost-effective and also well controls the crowd. You can drive all the way in, from the lakeside to the high mountain pasture to wind turbine No. 31. Be sure to check the weather. The cool breeze 🍃, clear lake water 💧, and free cattle and sheep 🐮. If not camping, 2-3 hours of visit is enough. On the way down, visit another National Geographic recommended off-the-beaten-path destination, 📍Biyu Pond, about 1 hour drive. The high water season has passed in October, so not recommended now. The mountain road is difficult to drive, narrow and hard for cars to pass each other. It’s still worth visiting in summer when the water volume is abundant. Back in the county town, experience Guangxi’s unique tea bran hair wash. We randomly found a community shop online, hair wash + massage for about 45 minutes only 29.9 RMB, very comfortable 😌. Dinner was at a small firewood stove restaurant recommended by the hair wash auntie. When in Quanzhou, you must try the beef steak 🥩. Day 3️⃣ Longjing Village + Lingui Zhuangyuan Bridge + Xianggong Mountain Drive 50 minutes to 📍Longjing Village. There is a parking lot 🅿️ at the entrance, 10 RMB per vehicle with no time limit. Free entry to the village, no ticket required. Walk along the wooden plank road, water plants swaying, and the blue pond water is mesmerizing. Walk all the way to Juxian Cave where you can row a boat, unlimited time 20 RMB per person (usually 10 RMB). The natural air conditioning is very comfortable. Ducks swim in the water, village aunties wash clothes and vegetables by the river, full of life atmosphere; old lady sells sugar oil balls 2 RMB per skewer, round cakes 1 RMB each, prices are very affordable. Highly recommended 💯 Next stop 📍Lingui Tianxin Zhuangyuan Bridge, parking is also 10 RMB per vehicle, no ticket required. This season is the golden harvest time for rice. Sitting in the rice field watching the harvester work is a unique enjoyment. Walk across Zhuangyuan Bridge and Hanlin Bridge. Xianggong Mountain is a classic spot to watch the sunrise 🌄. There are too many people at sunrise, so watching the sunset to avoid crowds is also a good choice. 📍Xiao Liao Ecological Farmhouse Restaurant has the same view as Xianggong Mountain, no entrance fee, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset, a private beautiful scene. 📍Huayexing Travel (Xiatang Wharf Branch), 50 square meter large room, panoramic bathtub 🛁, 100 meters walk to Xiatang Wharf, 300 meters walk to Xinglong Wharf, highly recommended. 500+ RMB during National Day (about 300 RMB normally), very cost-effective.
