Xinyi Lihua Valley Waterfront Residence gave me an unexpected surprise

Listed among the must-visit travel destinations in Guangdong, the treasure of Qianpai in Xinyi, hidden in the landscape, is a gem not to be missed! It was my first time visiting Qianpai with friends, and I did not expect to find such a humble small town 🚤 With its water scenery, covered bridges, and water dams, one can enjoy the drive to Xinyi Qianpai Lihua Valley Waterfront Residence. 🎍 Lihua Valley turned out to be an unexpected highlight of the trip. Initially, we were headed for the landscape, but a random turn led us here, and I realized that some of the beautiful pictures I had seen were taken from this spot. The deeper I went, the more I became intoxicated with its beauty. 🚗 You can get there by navigating directly to the Lihua Valley Service Center on Gaode Maps, which is just over three kilometers from the landscape. There is a large parking lot near the Lihua Valley Service Center, and it was free when I visited. ✍️ I suggest walking over the bridge opposite the Hummingbird Shopping Plaza and entering from the other side, which is a bit smoother and less tiring. I also saw many locals driving in with small electric cars and motorcycles. 🎄 Lihua Valley, a place of clear water, fragrant flowers, and gentle waterfalls. The hotel villas are backed by the Sanhua plum mountains and face the stream, which is very comfortable 🌆 The hotel front desk offers a view of a small waterfall, perfect for checking in. Now is the time when plums have just fruited, past the flowering season, but seeing the small fruits on the trees is also very healing. Each unit in the hotel has a pomelo tree, full of blossoms, very fragrant In the afternoon, you can also take an electric cart ride (for a fee)🤳, to enjoy the breeze 🍱 For dinner, we went to a country firewood chicken and goose restaurant, the ginger wine soup was great! The other dishes were also delicious, I especially liked the steamed ribs and tofu 🏠 We packed some snacks and lemon tea from the Hakka people back to the hotel Passing by the store, I thought it was a restaurant, but it turned out to be snacks and drinks, which was quite nice Very delicious, sour and sweet The double combination is also beautiful at night with the lights on, but we couldn't stay long as the river and bridges are under construction The Lihua Valley Waterfront Residence is beautiful at night, with a serene environment, very comfortable, suitable for a few close friends to chat and have a barbecue. It would be great if there were more mahjong rooms! 👻 On Sunday morning, I slept in. Went to the town for breakfast, and on the way back, I specifically went to the creek to catch fish, a paradise for kids! Art orchards, villages with green tiles and white walls... filled with ancient charm and the style of western Guangdong scholars. Especially in the early morning and dusk, when the tourists leave, this place becomes the poetic human touch described by the literati. 🏕 The leisurely landscape is picturesque, with small bridges over flowing water, green bricks, and black tiles renewed, stone walls with dragons flying around the phoenix court. The tree shadows sway, fish play in the water, and the bridge leads to the Spring Palace. It's also a joy to enjoy the beautiful scenery with family during leisure time
