Hezhou 3 Days 2 Nights Chill Guide｜Escape Shenzhen for 750 RMB per Person, Quieter and More Photogenic than Yangshuo Shenzhen workers, quick code! This hidden gem in Hezhou is seriously underrated—few people, wild scenery, slow pace. Three days and two nights cost only 750 RMB per person. Eat, stroll, and relax without rushing, and after the trip, you won’t want to return to the competitive city life✨ 🚄 Transportation & Expense Overview Take the high-speed train from Shenzhen at 9:40 AM straight to Hezhou Station, then a 10 RMB taxi to the city hotel—zero hassle with transportation. For two people, the total cost for 3 days and 2 nights is 1500 RMB, including food, accommodation, and travel. The cost-performance ratio is maxed out—workers can book without hesitation. 🌿 Day 1: Chill City Tour, Unlock Local Life and Sunset 1. After dropping off luggage at the hotel, head straight downstairs to "Enji Noodle Shop." The famously popular beef noodles did not disappoint—7 RMB a bowl with plenty of meat, leaving your stomach warm and satisfied; 2. Rent a shared electric scooter to tour the city, leisurely ride to Yongfeng Lake Park, enjoy the breeze and a stroll by the lake, no need to rush, focusing on relaxation and healing; 3. In the evening, rush to Dazhongshan Park to catch the sunset. Key point! Pavilion No. 4 offers a legendary view, perfect for sunset and cityscape photos. The climb is easy and you can overlook the entire city; 4. After sunset, head to "Rongshutou Late Night Snacks" next to Babao District Night Market. Full of local life but expect a queue. The hidden snack spots are delicious, a perfect end to day one. 🪨 Day 2: Nature Hike Day, Check Out Strange Rocks and Wilderness 1. After breakfast, take a taxi to "Jade Stone Forest Scenic Area." It looks small but actually takes over 2 hours to explore. The karst stone forest is stunning, with very narrow sky corridors—larger friends beware of getting stuck. The cave exit offers an amazing view, perfect for photos; the stone forest maze is best explored with company, as it’s easy to get lost alone; 2. There is a free shuttle bus at the Jade Stone Forest entrance to "Gupo Mountain." Key point! To hike to the summit to see the big wind turbines and sea of clouds, be sure to start before 11 AM. The round trip takes 8-9 hours. We went too late and couldn’t make it; 3. We only visited Xiangu Waterfall, the big meadow, and Xiangu Village. The ancient kiln area has many monkeys; feeding them costs 10 RMB, and staff supervise nearby, so no worries about scratches. In the evening, there is no public transport, so take a taxi from the scenic area entrance back to the city with a fixed price—remember to bargain. ☁️ Day 3: Buddhist-Style Relaxed Return, Cozy Even on a Cloudy Day Originally planned to visit Zhongshan Ink Garden, but due to rain, we just chilled, ate a bowl of noodles in the city, picked up some local specialties, and slowly headed to the high-speed train station for the return trip. No need to rush the itinerary; going with the flow and relaxing is also very comfortable. 💡 Practical Tips & Pitfall Avoidance Guide 1. Use shared electric scooters for city transport—convenient and flexible everywhere, cheaper than taxis. Remember to check battery levels in advance to avoid running out of power halfway; 2. For Gupo Mountain summit hikes, start early. After 11 AM, you’ll likely miss the sea of clouds. If your stamina is average, choose the easier route and enjoy the waterfall and feeding monkeys; 3. Food to order without hesitation: Enji Noodle Shop (highly recommend beef noodles, 7 RMB great value), Rongshutou Late Night Snacks (hidden fried noodles and barbecue are reliable, go off-peak to avoid queues); 4. The narrow sky corridors in Jade Stone Forest are tight—if you’re overweight or carrying large luggage, be cautious to avoid getting stuck. The stone forest has many forks; it’s safer to explore with company; 5. No public transport in the evening at Gupo Mountain. Arrange a ride in advance. When taking a taxi at the scenic area entrance, agree on the price beforehand to avoid being overcharged; 6. Hezhou is mountainous—wear non-slip sports shoes. Temperature differences on Gupo Mountain are big in the morning and evening, so bring a light jacket for the hike. Summer has many mosquitoes, so bring insect repellent. Hezhou is really perfect for Shenzhen workers looking for a short escape—few crowds, beautiful scenery, great value, and a slow, healing pace. A weekend trip is totally doable~
