Nanping Tranquil Town in Conghua, Guangzhou

Over the years, I have traveled almost every landscape in Conghua, but I have never been to this small town. The country road twists and turns, and there is a small pavilion called Youhuangli where the car is parked. On the left is the green paddy field, on the right are thousands of tall bamboos, and below is a stream winding past, creating a serene and peaceful environment. Walk a few hundred meters along the bamboo creek path, passing by many old lychee trees, with small brick and stone scenes covered in deep moss, and a helicopter pad hidden among the tall grass on the left. After crossing the Fengxi channel, you reach Shaotang Pavilion, where one bridge arches like the moon and another is straight, this place is where the Twin Bridges meet. Then drive from Tianhe Nanping Road to Mingjian Bridge, where the mountain stream shines with sunlight flowing downstream, and here, chickens are the leisurely masters. Yankou community is quiet at this moment, and as you follow the path up the mountain, the forest is dark green, the rocks are huge and round, the distant mountains undulate, and the sunlight peeks through the clouds. At the foot of the mountain is the Tranquil Pavilion. Passing by a slightly dilapidated small courtyard built of red bricks, inscribed with 'Dami Temple'. Following Fengxi all the way north, passing through Liuwu and Zhuwu, next to Lixiang Pavilion is Nanping Inn, arguably the most beautiful inn in the area, with Hakka architecture integrated into the tranquil theme. Behind it, in the lychee forest, there are wooden houses and bird nests, each with its own characteristics. Nanping Cultural Square uses bamboo weaving as a medium, its soft shapes subtly blending into the mountains behind, serene and far-reaching. ⛰️Location: Nanping Village, Conghua Hot Springs Town 🚗Transportation: Self-driving (winding country roads, convenient and free parking) 👣Tour: Nanping Tranquil Town is a quiet place with high mountains, flowing springs, lush bamboo forests, and peculiar rocks and mountain streams, surrounded by Phoenix Mountain and meandering Fengxi water. Modern design blends with the natural landscape. 🧸It is recommended to park your car at the entrance of Nanping Tranquil Town, where the phoenix spreads its wings, and walk south from Youhuangli along the bamboo creek greenway to Twin Bridges, then take the main road back to get the car, and drive to Mingjian Bridge. Park the car at Liuwu community, and walk along the stream to Yankou community, where you can enjoy the scenery and climb the mountain. Descending past the Tranquil Pavilion and turning right, you can reach Qingfeng Xiaozhu Starry Sky Homestay, and further ahead you can reach Hongfeng Park and Nanping Mountain Residence. On the return trip, follow Fengxi north to Nanping Inn, where you will find Nanping Cultural Square and Lixia Book House. Past Dawo community, there are Gengdu Pavilion and Jinshi Pavilion, and follow Fengxi Road back to the grand entrance of the phoenix spreading its wings. 🥗Mountain residences offer local dishes such as lychee mushrooms, free-range chicken, green-headed ducks, and slimming fish.
