2025 Pingyuan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Wuzhishi Scenic Area (AAAA) is located in Chagan Town, 57 km north of Pingyuan County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, at the junction of Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces. It is a famous Danxia landform tourist destination in eastern Guangdong. The scenic area covers 13.6 square kilometers and includes the Wuzhishi Core Leisure Area, the High-altitude Walkway Sightseeing Area (accessible by sightseeing bus), and the Glass Walkway (accessible by cable car). Wuzhishi is mainly composed of Baoding Stone (thumb), Luohan Stone (index finger), Tianzhu Stone (middle finger), Jianglong Stone (ring finger), and Baogai Stone (little finger), which resemble five fingers. The scenic area is home to original ecological landscapes such as "Danxia landform, forest ecology, cultural relics, and walkway wonders," as well as "strange stones, strange cracks, strange vines, strange trees, and strange caves," and is characterized by majesty, danger, uniqueness, beauty, seclusion, and antiquity. Meizhou's only geological museum is located in Wuzhishi Scenic Area. Unfortunately, it was closed when we visited, which was a bit of a shame! If you plan to visit Wuzhishi Scenic Area, we recommend purchasing the "Wuzhi Yue Mei Hot Spring Resort + Double Wuzhishi Scenic Area Pass (including sightseeing bus and cable car) Package" on Trip.com. When we bought it (Feb 21–22, 2023), it was only ¥382 (including 3 breakfasts), and it's not much more expensive now. It's really cheap! The adult package for Wuzhishi Scenic Area is ¥145, so two tickets would be ¥290. The hotel is located at No. 2, Shanji Avenue, Chagan Town, very close to Wuzhishi Scenic Area. We walked from the hotel to Wuzhishi Scenic Area. Even now (2025), there are still different discount packages available on Trip.com.

Meizhou Wuzhishi is located in Pingyuan County, Meizhou, and is divided into two scenic areas. The old scenic area has a round-trip cable car, and the new scenic area requires a sightseeing car. Tickets must be purchased with at least a sightseeing car because the two scenic areas are far apart. The cable car in the old scenic area can be skipped. If you don't buy it, you need to walk up the mountain, which is not very high. The cable car is not very far, and it is not worth the fare. Those with good physical strength can walk, but it is recommended to save energy, because you still need to climb the mountain in the new scenic area. The ticket package is very expensive, with a full-day ticket of CNY 150, including a cable car and a sightseeing car. The scenery is okay, not good or bad.

👍️Reason for recommendation: This place realizes my dream of retirement life, with mountains, water, fish, chickens, dogs, rice fields and vegetable gardens.

Around the main hall and the courtyard, there are 3-meter stone pillars, with eaves built of stone, sturdy and beautiful.

Renju Ancient Village was once known as Haoju.

In the 41st year of the Jiajing era (1562), the earthen city was expanded, and Pingyuan County was established, with the county seat located here, later renamed Renju, meaning 'the dwelling of benevolent people'. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the main marketplace of Pingyuan County was set up on the street in front of the county, with Renju as the center, and roads extending in all directions. There are still several ancient roads such as Guanshui Pond, Xianning Street, and Old East Gate Street. For 390 years until 1952, it was the seat of Pingyuan County.

Decided to go on a spontaneous trip. If you can't go far, then just go to the nearby I didn't expect Pingyuan to have such a beautiful scenic spot. Fuji camera with this scenic spot scenery beyond the film is the favorite is the "Castle in the Sky" the sun is particularly good that day the blue sky and white clouds are super beautiful In the city in the sky, you can make a wish and write it on the prayer belt There is also a very interesting 3D observation deck. It feels like you are about to fall down at any time. The scenery looking down from the observation deck is unique. And when we got to the glass bridge, we really didn't dare to walk It's much better if I don't look down. I didn't expect that I was so timid. The flying trapeze is fun and not scary. You can experience the joy of taking off. Finally, you can experience the boat ride. The duration is about 25 minutes. In the second half, you can go to Jiangxi Province for a cross-province tour and see the spectacular mountains. I also saw other tourists and sisters on the cruise ship experiencing the Hanfu rafting project Sitting in a black-sailed boat on the lake, the fog looks beautiful The fog was so beautiful, it felt like a fairyland. Many people thought the fog was a special effect, but it was actually created by the scenic spot. Tourists can rent Hanfu to experience it, but I sweated too much that day. I won't experience this project. The happy day of play is over. Precautions 1. Water is a must. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring it. Water is available for sale at the entrance of the scenic area and in the Sky City. 2. You can bring some mosquito repellent. There are some mosquitoes on the mountain. 3. The weather is hot, so pay attention to sun protection. Dahebei Scenic Area, Zhonghang Town, Pingyuan County, Meizhou City :49.9-180 (different prices and different projects) The scenic area is quite large, so you need to reserve time to play Olympic

I looked out from the mountain and saw a lush green landscape. The mountains here are undulating, and there are wonders of nature everywhere. I walked along the mountain trail, feeling the power and beauty of nature. 🌳🏔️ There is also a very famous waterfall in Dahebei Scenic Area. I felt a magnificent atmosphere when I came to this waterfall. The waterfall has a rapid flow, pouring down from a great height, making a thunderous sound. Standing in front of the waterfall, I felt as if conquered by the power of nature. 💦🌊 The entire Dahebei Scenic Area seems to be a natural pure land, which makes me feel the power and beauty of nature. Here, I can get close to nature and enjoy the tranquility and peace it brings. It was a very refreshing trip that gave me a deeper appreciation for the beauty of nature. 🌿✨ #Must-visit spots in the Greater Bay Area
