Experience Dali's Wheat Fields in Guangzhou - It's Amazing!

Recently, Dali's wheat fields have been flooding social media feeds. The rolling green hills and gentle breezes make people yearn to visit. But actually, you don't need to travel all the way to Dali. At Luodong Craftsman Town in Conghua, Guangzhou, you can encounter the same beautiful windswept wheat fields and experience a dreamy journey where nature and culture intertwine - and it's free! Follow this guide to embrace this spring-limited beauty. In late spring, as you enter Luodong Craftsman Town, the wheat fields sway gracefully in the breeze, creating waves of golden ripples. The heavy wheat ears hang low, as if telling stories of a bountiful harvest. The air carries a faint scent of wheat mixed with the fragrance of soil - take a deep breath and savor nature's aroma. Walking along the field ridges, you'll feel soft soil beneath your feet and see a brilliant blue sky above. In the distance, rolling mountains complement the wheat fields, creating a stunning pastoral landscape. If you're lucky, you might spot egrets gliding gracefully over the wheat waves - a sight that instantly melts your heart. The photo opportunities here are atmospheric - whether you prefer a fresh artistic style or a rustic vintage look, you'll capture it easily. I recommend wearing light-colored clothes to better match the wheat fields! After exploring the wheat fields, be sure to visit Baijiangyuan Mingjie Street. This area gathers various intangible cultural heritage workshops including wood carving, bamboo weaving, and incense art - a paradise for heritage enthusiasts. Inside the workshops, the focused craftsmen at work are truly moving, perfectly embodying the craftsman spirit of "choose one thing and devote your life to it." I strongly recommend experiencing traditional skills like pottery throwing and incense making. Feel the clay gradually taking shape under your fingertips, giving it a unique form; when making incense, grind the materials and press the incense sticks while appreciating the elegant lifestyle of ancient people through the rising fragrance. On weekends, there's a lively craftsmen market with handmade ornaments and plant-dyed fabrics filling the stalls. Each item contains the ingenuity of artisans - pick up a few to take home as meaningful souvenirs while supporting traditional crafts. When you're tired, find a rustic guesthouse and enjoy tea around a stove. In the courtyard, charcoal fires burn brightly, roasting sweet potatoes and persimmons that sizzle with sweet aromas. As tea fragrance fills the air, sit with friends, chat about everything, and enjoy the leisure of "stealing half a day from busy life." For water lovers, don't miss the stream trekking adventure. The town's streams are crystal clear - walk along the stone steps through the water with small fish swimming around your feet, and occasionally discover little crabs hiding between rocks. As you trek upstream, listening to the gentle flowing water and feeling the mountain coolness, all your worries seem to disappear. To experience the town's charm more deeply, consider staying overnight. The Guangle Building and Yunjiang Building heritage-themed guesthouses are excellent choices. These wooden structures are full of ancient charm. Rooms are carefully decorated with craftsmen's works, and windows frame views of wheat fields and green mountains. Fall asleep to the sounds of insects and gentle breezes at night; wake up to the first rays of sunlight in the morning - this accommodation experience is simply wonderful.

For public transportation, take Metro Line 14 to "Conghua Bus Station" Exit A, then take a taxi for about 10 minutes to reach the town. 📸 Photo Tips: 1⃣ Current wheat field status: I took photos in mid-March.
