🏞️🌲 Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city?

Here, you can experience true tranquility and beauty, and feel a different pace of life. 🌅🏡 🌟 Tour Experience: 🏞️🎨 Although the place has become quite commercialized, you might be initially disappointed for not finding the ancient village charm you imagined. But if you slow down and immerse yourself, you'll discover that the beauty here is definitely worth your stay. Climb the slopes of the ancient town, and you'll see rooms with mountain views, each window offering a stunning ink painting. In the morning, when the first rays of sunlight wake you through the curtains, you'll understand that this is the life you've been looking for. 🌄🖼️ 📍 Address and Transportation: 📍📍 - Address: Thousand-Year-Old Yao Village, Qingyuan, Guangdong 🎫💳 - Ticket: 106 yuan when booked a day in advance 🚗🅿️ - Transportation: Driving is the most convenient option, with free parking. It's about a 2-hour drive from Guangzhou ✅ Travel Tips: 1⃣️🏡 When choosing a homestay, make sure you can see the sunrise and that there are no obstructions.
