#OverseasTravel #Guangzhou #GuangzhouTravel One year I went to Meizhou to visit relatives, chartered a car to Meizhou's famous attraction Wuzhishi, from the city, took two or so hours to finally reach Wuzhishi Scenic Area. From a distance, the mountain of Five Fingers could be seen towering in the valley. Unfortunately, the weather was unfavorable and it was overcast all day, but it didn't stop us from seeing its majesty. It is named five-fingered stone because it is arranged in a form that is extremely similar to when a person’s five fingers are spread apart. And every big stone has a patched slit in the middle, we went to visit a line of sky and grind the belly seam. The canyon between the stone seams was so narrow that one could only walk through it, and it was as thrilling and exciting as falling off a cliff. There is also a high-altitude glass canyon, vertical height of more than 200 meters really a little feed high can not do 😂😂 **The first photo used computer effect, five-finger stone with blue sky and white clouds is much more beautiful🤪

Stepping into Dahebei Scenic Area feels like entering a vivid watercolor painting. The lush green mountains on both sides act as natural barriers, showcasing the grandeur of nature. The crystal-clear river sparkles under the sunlight, with occasional fish swimming by, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled tranquility. Wildflowers along the riverbank sway gently in the breeze, their colorful petals dancing as if waving hello. Sitting down to enjoy the surrounding peace, this place is an ideal spot to relax and relieve stress, allowing me to momentarily escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

We booked a pick-up service on Trip.com for 675 THB/2, which is 338 THB per person. -🏨Guangzhou Laike Apartment (Beijing Road Subway Station Branch) ฿945 per night, split between two, comes to ฿423 per person. Near the Beijing Lu Purple Line (Exit A1). - The One Club Beijing Lu is just across the street, so convenient! The hotel is very close, but the kind staff called a taxi for ฿100, and it took less than 5 minutes to get to the room. 😂 - Arrived at the room around 6 AM, and woke up around noon. Day 2 (2025 Apr. 03) - Woke up with a hangover, craving a hot spoonful. Let's go find something hot to eat. - A red pork leg wonton noodle shop with Chinese characters all over it, and homemade noodles. The owner is a very handsome son, and the price is reasonable. - The soup is delicious! Just walk straight ahead. - You'll find it at the crosswalk on the corner of the intersection. - Shamian Island, European architecture, beautiful flowers. 🚇 Cultural Park, Exit E. - Beijing Lu Street Food, very close to the accommodation, walkable and always full of people. I didn't do my homework and ended up on the Chinese Qingming Festival 😂 - Canton Tower 🚇 Canton Tower Station Exit B (8:00 AM - 10:00 PM) - Zhujiang New Town, walking to take photos. The wide plaza with a view of Canton Tower made my legs a bit sore and I was really hungry. - Haixinsha Bridge, walking to take photos on the bridge. - Liede Bridge, just enough for the view, not too far. - Beijing Lu, let's go get some hot pot. Which restaurant is this? - Rich Hotpot, not a buffet. Prices are based on the size of the plate. You can pick whatever you want, but you pay for what you actually eat. There are soup bases to choose from, but I got the rice soup. It's free. Make your own dipping sauce, it's 8 yuan, ladies. After eating, I paid a little over 100 yuan. After I was full, I walked back to my hotel to shower and rest for a bit. Dressed up and went out to drink some leftover drinks. - Another round at The One Club wasn't enough. - Today, I spent a little and stayed until the shop closed, just like usual. - So much fun! Returned at 5:00 AM, almost 6:00 AM again. Woke up again at noon and went! Day 3 (2025 Apr. 04) - Woke up hungry and went out to eat near the train station. It was almost 4:00 PM. It was so delicious. - I got a lot. I couldn't finish it, so I had some left. The price was acceptable, a bit high, but the bowl was big, so it didn't bother me. - Buy souvenirs at HOTMAXX Teemall. Beijing Road 🚇 Beijing Road - POP Mart - TopToy - Beijing Road, again before heading back today. - The first day of Qingming Festival in China, it was very crowded. - Dafo Temple, walking distance from the hotel. I searched for a long time around Beijing Road, so crowded I couldn't tell it was Dafo Temple. -Walking around Beijing Lu looking for food. In the end, I ended up eating fruit for 365 baht. It was so expensive and bland. 👍🏻 We had until 7:00 PM to pack up and leave the hotel for the airport at 8:00 PM. It took almost an hour, and it was raining. We called DIDI through the Aliplay app, which was convenient. We paid 350 baht, and it was fine. *The train fare was incredibly cheap, which was great. I got lost easily. But I ended up going broke at the pubs and bars. #travel #travelfirstpaylater #traveltheworld #travelabroad #singlelife #guangzhou #china #chinese #travelchina #cantontower #bubbletram #tram #Teemall #nightlifeguangzhou #nightlife #DafoTemple #travelchina #Beijinglu #popmart #toptoy #Liedebridge #HaixinshaBridge #RichHotpot #Zhujiangnewtown #TheOneClub #ShamianIsland #Beijinglustreetfood #hotelguangzhou

During the summer Dragon Boat Festival, the emerald waters of Songxi River stretch like silk amidst the peaks, with ripples shimmering like scattered gold, gently ruffled by the morning breeze. On both banks, lush green hills rise and fall, while steep cliffs drape with curtains of vines. Occasionally, a white egret breaks the reflection, its wingtip leaving a fleeting silver trail that the flowing water quickly mends. A few kingfishers chirp, their calls colliding with the misty cliffs, shattering into crystalline echoes. Visitors stroll along the wooden boardwalk, their sachets and tassels fluttering like colorful butterflies. Some squat by the river steps, scooping up the cool water to cleanse the leaves of rice dumplings. The deep green leaves against the reddish-brown rocks resemble a meticulous painting sprung to life from a landscape scroll.

Meizhou Wuzhishi is located in Pingyuan County, Meizhou, and is divided into two scenic areas. The old scenic area has a round-trip cable car, and the new scenic area requires a sightseeing car.
