My parents loved it! Zhanjiang 4-Day/3-Night Flower Viewing Itinerary

My parents loved it! Zhanjiang 4-Day/3-Night Flower Viewing Itinerary💐 Help! Traveling with my parents is so easy! Zhanjiang is a treasure of a city that caters to the whole family. Enjoy 4 days of leisurely flower viewing + delicious food + sea views. Quickly save this divine itinerary that even my parents raved about!✨ 🌼Day 1: Flower Roaming in the City ✦ Arrive in Zhanjiang in the early morning and head straight to the Nan Guo Tropical Garden! This 64-hectare natural oxygen bar🌳 is perfect for botanical garden-style photos! It was my first time seeing jasmine flowers hanging from the branches like wind chimes, and the red bract flowers look like pink lanterns, which are super eye-catching! ✦ If you get hungry, go to a nearby time-honored restaurant! Zhanjiang’s poached chicken is a must-try🐔. The chicken skin is chewy and the chicken is tender. Dip it in ginger and scallion sauce for an amazing flavor! The sandworm congee is so fresh you’ll stomp your feet, and the crispy and tender sandworms are an instant hit! ✦ In the afternoon, stroll through the Sino-Australian Friendship Garden and watch exotic flame trees and Bauhinia × blakeana, the city flower, dance together. In the evening, chase a sunset over the sea at Guanhai Changlang. The sea breeze is so healing. ✦ The seafood feast begins in the evening! Zhanjiang’s shrimp and crabs are unbelievably plump🦞. Steaming them brings out their freshness, and the garlic vermicelli scallops burst with juice. You won’t be able to stop eating! 🌸Day 2: Lianjiang Romantic Flower Festival ✦ Head to Lianjiang Cherry Blossom Park early in the morning! The pink and white cherry blossom sea is breathtaking, and every photo you take will have a spring vibe🌸. Take a photo with your parents under the cherry blossom rain and it will blow up your family group chat! ✦ At noon, duck into a small street-side restaurant for the amazing Hecun Reservoir fish head soup! The milky white soup with tender fish head is so fresh you’ll want to swallow your tongue! The galangal and chicken soup warms the stomach and nourishes the body. My parents nodded in approval after drinking it. ✦ In the afternoon, venture into the golden fairy tale of the Tianyuan Zhai Scenic Area! More than 3,000 golden trumpet trees form a golden ocean🌼. You can also pick red oranges and eat them as you pick them, which is super fun! 🌲Day 3: Forest Flower Sea Adventure ✦ Go to Sanling Mountain National Forest Park and take a deep breath of fresh air! With 95% forest coverage, the mountains are dotted with golden trumpet trees. Take a slow walk with your parents and listen to the birds singing. It’s so healing. ✦ At noon, unlock surprises at a farmhouse! The freshly killed free-range chicken is so fragrant it will make you drool, and the fresh vegetables are sweet and delicious, just like mom’s cooking! ✦ In the afternoon, head to Hege Yinhu Lake! The lake is like a mirror, the distant islands are lush with greenery, and the wildflowers you encounter by the lake are also super beautiful🌼. The whole family can sit by the lake and enjoy the breeze. It’s so peaceful. 🌺Day 4: Seaside Fireworks Finale ✦ The last stop is the firework trees in the Seaside Park! The purple-red crown with white flowers looks like fireworks🎆. It’s so dreamy and unreal! ✦ Have another seafood feast for lunch and say goodbye to Zhanjiang with the freshest shrimp and crabs. After eating and drinking your fill, slowly return home. My parents said they want to come again next time! 🚗Transportation Tips ▫️Self-driving: Navigation is super convenient, and there is no pressure to park at each scenic spot. ▫️Public transportation: Take bus 30 from the city to Nan Guo Tropical Garden; take a bus from the South Bus Station to Lianjiang, and then take a taxi to the destination; it is recommended to take a taxi to the Forest Park to save time. 🍤Food Recommendations ✔️Poached chicken: Zhanjiang’s soul food, the dipping sauce is the essence! ✔️Sandworm congee: Fresh, sweet, and crispy. You’ll want to take it home with you after drinking it. ✔️Hecun fish head soup: The soup is rich and the fish is tender. It warms you up from the inside out. ✔️Anpu White Cake: Glutinous rice lovers will be ecstatic. It’s also perfect as a souvenir! 💡Super Practical Tips 1️⃣ Check the flowering period before departure! It is recommended to follow the official account of the scenic spot. 2️⃣ Leave 1–2 hours of rest time each day so your parents won’t be tired and can have more fun. 3️⃣ The ultraviolet rays on the beach are strong, so bring sunscreen + a light jacket and a combination umbrella. 4️⃣ Enjoy the flowers in a civilized way! Only take photos and leave no footprints. Take your parents on a trip! Pack the romance of spring and the smiles of your family and bring them home with you💖
