If you also yearn to explore different landscapes, then follow my footsteps and experience the unique charm of Longnan together 👇 Preliminary Preparations Before departure, be sure to check the weather forecast for Longnan 🌤 and pack appropriate clothing. Longnan has diverse terrain, and the temperature in the mountainous areas is relatively low. Even in summer, it is recommended to bring a light jacket. Also, don't forget to prepare comfortable sneakers 👟 because we will be exploring many beautiful natural landscapes, and there will be plenty of walking. Route Planning Day 1: Guanegou - Erman Valley - Morning: After arriving in Dangchang, Longnan, head to the Guanegou Scenic Area. The deep canyons and cascading waterfalls here resemble a fairyland meticulously carved by nature. Upon entering the scenic area, I was immediately captivated by the crystal-clear streams and waterfalls of various shapes. Walking along the plank road, every step reveals a new scene, each one tempting you to stop and take photos 📸. The Leigushan Waterfall is magnificent, with splashing water droplets forming beautiful rainbows 🌈 under the sunlight. - Noon: Enjoy local specialties at a farmhouse restaurant near the scenic area. Don't miss the "Yangyu Jiaotuan" (potato balls), soft potatoes paired with a sour and spicy soup, each bite brings pure bliss. There are also local free-range eggs, simply cooked yet bursting with rich flavor 🥚. - Afternoon: Head to Erman Valley, where the scenery is even more beautiful, with lush, primeval forests. Stroll along the lakeside, where the emerald green water reflects the surrounding mountains and trees, like a stunning landscape painting 🖼. You can take photos to your heart's content here; every shot is a masterpiece. By the Huahai Pond, colorful flowers bloom in competition, complementing the green mountains and clear waters, a breathtaking sight. Day 2: Wanxiang Cave - Longnan City - Morning: Visit Wanxiang Cave, known as the "First Cave of China". Inside the cave, stalactites of all shapes and sizes dazzle the eye, and under the illumination of lights, it feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairyland. Some resemble lifelike animals, others cascading waterfalls, and still others dancing fairies 🧚‍♀️. Every sight evokes awe at the wonders of nature. Remember to bring a flashlight to better appreciate the beauty within the cave. - Noon: Return to Longnan City and savor the local cuisine. "Mianpi" (wheat gluten noodles) is one of Longnan's specialties, smooth and flavorful, with a variety of seasonings like spicy, sweet and sour to choose from.
