Huanglong Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Chaoshan Surrounding Tour: 'Jiexi Little Temple of Heaven'
Chaoshan Surrounding Tour | You must come and see Jiexi's 'Little Temple of Heaven' at least once.
The Little Temple of Heaven is incredibly beautiful, giving off a timeless and exquisite atmosphere that blends the ancient with the modern.
The Wanfo Hall is centrally located in the Huanglong Temple and looks particularly solemn, while the surrounding buildings have an ancient charm.
About the Little Temple of Heaven:
No admission ticket is needed, you can just go straight in.
Location: Navigate to Huanglong Temple in Jiexi County.
Photography Strategy:
Find the main entrance of the Wanfo Hall, this spot is the best position for taking photos, and noon is when there are the fewest people, so you can take photos however you like. Then, circle around the Wanfo Hall from various angles to take pictures, and finding a solid color background wall for portrait shots is also a sophisticated way to take photos.
Finally, I wish everyone peace and happiness!!

Dragon Year Travel: A Travel Guide to JieXi WanMei Valley Cultural Town
On a sunny fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I and a few friends decided to visit JieXi WanMei Valley Cultural Town to experience the tranquility and beauty away from the city hustle.
As soon as we entered the town, we were attracted by the scenery of gurgling streams and birdsong. Although we missed the blooming season of plum and peach blossoms, the unique charm of the garden still made us linger. We strolled in the olive grove, feeling the ancient charm of a thousand years, as if we could hear the breath of time, immersed in the vicissitudes of history.
We also discovered a shocking sight - a thousand-year-old olive tree! It is said to have a history of over 800 years. We excitedly discussed what a wonderful experience it would be to eat the fruit from this olive tree!
The town's parking is very convenient, with free parking places all around. However, during the holidays, the traffic flow will be larger, so friends who drive here should pay special attention to traffic safety.
If you come here in the summer, it will be even more lively. You can play in the water, catch fish and shrimp, which is very suitable for parent-child play. There are also many stalls in the town, selling all kinds of specialties, which are mouth-watering.
Whether it's family, friends or parent-child travel, you can find your own fun and memories here. If you have time, why not come here to gather, chat, and enjoy that rare tranquility and satisfaction!
Jingming Hot Spring Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
It's true! My bestie and I checked into a 4A scenic spot in Jieyang!
⛳ I only knew that we were staying at Jingming Resort in Jieyang, but I had no idea that it was actually a 4A scenic spot. My bestie and I managed to do tea picking, rafting, and a bonfire party all in one stop, isn't that a steal.
⛩️ Jingming Hot Spring Resort, located in Jingxiyuan Town, Jiexi County, Guangdong Province, 35 kilometers away from Jieyang city center, is known as China's largest resort. It is a comprehensive national AAAA-level tourist attraction that combines ecological tea gardens, tourism, and leisure vacations.
✔️ Features:
1⃣️ We arrived at Jingming Resort after 4 pm, dropped off our luggage, and went to pick tea. The fragrance wafting from the tea bushes was a novel experience, and of course, tea picking was just for fun;
2⃣️ Then we rafted on the tranquil Yuhu Lake, surrounded by green trees, small bridges, flowing water, and beautiful scenery, said to be known as 'Little Guilin'. Sitting on the bamboo raft, the crisp sound of bird calls was occasionally heard by the ear, which was extremely pleasant;
3⃣️ At night, the lights were on, and the buildings of the resort and the temples on the hillside were brilliantly illuminated, with countless beams of light shooting into the night sky, creating a magnificent nightscape;
4⃣️ The bonfire party was very lively, with the Hakka people creating fireworks in many different shapes, such as circles, dragons, and 'fairy scattering flowers', which was very nice. We danced around the bonfire to the singing of Hakka guys and girls, releasing happiness;
5⃣️ We only played from the afternoon to the evening, and there are many more attractions here. For example, in the middle of the resort, there is a Jingming Great Wall built in imitation of the 'Badaling' Great Wall; there are the Pangu Xianshi Cultural Park, Jingming Zoo, Huangmanzhai Waterfall, and more. You can play for a whole day without staying overnight, but you need to buy a ticket.

Huang Manzhai Waterfall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Thousand Waterfalls Floating Strings "Gentleman Orchid"
Thousand Waterfalls Floating String
〈Lily of the Valley〉
Bathing in the sun, plucking the strings, listening to the gentle murmurs.
Bound by the wild wind, stirred by the heavy waves, and touched by the rainbow.
Broken currents swirl around, carrying a thousand waterfalls.
The footsteps of picking up shells in the winding path by the rock.
The long stream splashes, shaking the eyes of the sky,
Short song, waterfall dance, family curtain,
Like clouds gathering in the sea, combing through deep valleys,
Like a bird running aimlessly, rubbing against the floating strings.
A scene by the window, a hundred steps away.
White waterfall, black murmuring, blue sky dome,
In the long flowing strings, expectations are held.
Swing down and spin the whirlwind.

My goodness! Guangdong's most beautiful white romantic waterfall! I wonder who hasn't been there yet
The snow-white plum blossoms are really romantic~ From a distance, they are not flowers, up close they are white as snow❄. When spring comes and the wind blows, white petals cover the ground, as if a healing rain has fallen. Sharing a few spots in Guangdong for plum blossom photography and check-ins, not only is parking free, but so is flower viewing.
The most important thing is that it's a less crowded hidden gem~ Unfortunately, the blooming period is generally in January-February, and it only lasts for half a month, so hurry up and save this, and check it out next year.

Every mud house in the village is the most beautiful check-in shooting point, which can take people into the picture.
