Reverse Holiday Travel: Su Village Hidden in Lingshan, Qinzhou—Healing Moments Among Blue Bricks and Black Tiles

Reverse Holiday Travel: Su Village Hidden in Lingshan, Qinzhou—Healing Moments Among Blue Bricks and Black Tiles After visiting all the popular scenic spots in Guangxi, what I remember most is actually the low-key Liu Family Ancient Architecture Complex in Su Village, Lingshan County, Qinzhou—this is my second special trip just for it. Compared to the hustle and bustle of trendy check-in spots, this ancient village hidden in the countryside of southern Guangxi quietly heals every seeker of tranquility with its century-old blue bricks, black tiles, and slow pace of life. Besides the must-see Liu Family Ancient Residence, I also discovered some little-known pastoral secrets nearby. If you want to avoid crowds during the holiday, this Lingshan Su Village guide is a must-save~ 🚗 Transportation Guide - High-speed rail: Take the high-speed train to Qinzhou East Station, then transfer to a bus heading to Lingshan (about 1.5 hours). After arriving at Lingshan County, take a taxi to Su Village (20 minutes by car). - Self-driving: About 2 hours from Nanning, about 1.5 hours from Qinzhou. There is free parking in the village, and the roads are flat and easy to drive. 🗺️ 3-Day 2-Night Holiday Highlights Route - Day 1: Depart from Nanning/Qinzhou → Lingshan County → Su Village Liu Family Ancient Architecture Complex → Stay at Su Village homestay - Day 2: Morning scenery in Su Village → Yanxia Mountain Scenic Area → Lingshan Lychee Cultural Park (seasonal) - Day 3: Wenbi Mountain Park → Lingshan Food Street → Return trip 🌟 Must-Visit in Su Village: Liu Family Ancient Architecture Complex - 🏠 Liu Family Ancestral Hall: The "core landmark" of Su Village’s ancient architecture, built in the Qing Dynasty, with exquisite carved beams and painted rafters. The "Jinshi" plaque above the door and the dragon and phoenix wood carvings between the beams and pillars each hide the village’s glory. No filter needed for photos—every shot looks like a vintage masterpiece. - 🧱 Ming and Qing Dynasty Residences: The village preserves 15 large blue-brick houses from the Ming and Qing periods. Strolling along the stone paths, you can see old houses like "Nine Houses" and "San Da Hall." The weathered walls and moss in the courtyards tell century-old stories. With almost no tourists, you can quietly enjoy the tranquility of these ancient homes. - 🌾 Pastoral Scenery of the Ancient Village: Outside the village are vast rice fields, with tender green seedlings in spring and golden waves of rice in autumn. When morning mist covers the area, the blue bricks and black tiles blend with the fields like an ink painting, perfect for early morning walks and photos. Other Unmissable Attractions - 🍃 Yanxia Mountain Scenic Area: About 30 minutes by car from Su Village, famous for Danxia landforms and ecological scenery. The mountain trails are gentle, with strange rocks and waterfalls along the way. From the summit, you can overlook the mountains. The fresh air makes it ideal for family light hiking. - 📜 Wenbi Mountain Park: The "cultural landmark" of Lingshan County, with a Wenbi Tower at the top that takes only 20 minutes to climb. At dusk, standing on the tower to watch the sunset over the county town, the rosy clouds dye the sky—an absolutely stunning view. - 🍒 Lingshan Lychee Cultural Park (June-July only): Lingshan is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Lychee." In summer, you can pick lychees at the cultural park, enjoy the fun of hand-picking fruit, and taste specialty products like lychee honey and dried lychee. 🏡 Hidden Gems (Few People, Beautiful Scenery!) - Pingtang Ancient Village: About 15 minutes by car from Su Village, even more off the beaten path. It preserves several Qing Dynasty Lingnan-style buildings. There is a thousand-year-old banyan tree in the village where locals often gather to chat and relax, full of everyday life charm. - Liufeng Mountain Scenic Area: A "natural oxygen bar" hidden in Lingshan County town. The mountain is not high but peaceful and beautiful, with cliff inscriptions and ancient temples. Most visitors are locals, so you can avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility of the forest. 💡 Holiday Travel Tips - Su Village and surrounding attractions are free to enter. Some fruit picking activities charge by weight, offering great value. - Accommodation recommendation: Su Village homestays, mostly renovated ancient houses. You can experience village life while enjoying comfortable stays. Booking 3-5 days in advance is advised. - Must-try local foods: Lingshan roast duck noodles (rich broth), Su Village water cake (soft and sweet), lychee wood-fired roast goose (aromatic). The county food street offers a one-stop food experience. This ancient village hidden in southern Guangxi has none of the crowds of popular scenic spots, only the gentleness of blue bricks and black tiles and the poetry of pastoral life. If you want to avoid the holiday rush, come to Lingshan Su Village and find healing in the slow moments~
