Escape the City Plan | A Guide to Maoming's Hidden Gems

After weeks of being chased by work on weekends, I felt a suffocating weight in my chest. It wasn’t until the car wound into the mountain valley, with bamboo fragrance and the moist scent of greenery drifting in the breeze, that I finally exhaled—turns out, we truly need nature to "unpack" and reset us. Today, I’m sharing two stunning off-the-beaten-path spots in Maoming, perfect for a weekend getaway! 🌳Shanshui Shuanghe Scenic Area: • **Lihua Valley Waterfall**: A breathtaking cascade with a drop of over 10 meters. Standing on the bridge, listening to the roar of the falls and watching the stream below, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a painting. • **Shuanghe Bridge**: A viral-worthy bridge blending Hakka architectural elements. By day, admire the crystal-clear river and emerald bamboo forests; by night, enjoy enchanting views with a small waterfall adding to the dreamy ambiance. • This area is also China’s "Plum Village," where plum trees blanket the hills. When the blossoms bloom, the scenery is surreal, and in summer, you can pick Sanhua plums for a delightful experience! 🌳Ma’an Bamboo Sea Scenic Area: • **Vast Bamboo Forest**: A high-altitude summer retreat with rolling mountains and endless bamboo groves. Stroll through the rustling bamboo waves for ultimate relaxation. • **Ma’an Nightscape**: Lit up like a thousand-household Miao village, it’s a photographer’s paradise. • **Infinity Pool**: Swim while soaking in panoramic views of the bamboo sea—pure bliss. • **Green Forest Square Night Performances**: Flash dances, martial arts shows, and more (closed Mondays). • **Mountain Hot Springs**: Unwind in pools surrounded by lush bamboo and peaks for deep rejuvenation. • **Bamboo Cuisine**: Don’t miss bamboo-tube rice—fragrant and delicious! 🏨Stay Recommendation: **Ma’an Bamboo Sea - Xinyi Banshan Yunju Hotel** This hotel features a sky-high infinity pool and rooms with floor-to-ceiling views of the bamboo forest. Every stay here is a deep reset. With a kids’ playground, it’s also family-friendly! This weekend, escape to these hidden treasures and embrace nature’s serenity.
