[2025 Panzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Danxia Mountain (Updated Apr)

Hey everyone👋, today I have to recommend an amazing place to you - Xinjv Hotel (Liupanshui Panzhou Government Affairs Hall Branch). The travel photography journey you start here is absolutely fantastic! The hotel has a super advantageous location, surrounded by treasure troves of photography spots. 🌱 Wumeng Prairie, the vast expanse of grassland is like a green carpet laid out by nature, with blue skies and white clouds, and herds of cattle and sheep grazing freely🐄🐏, with rolling hills in the distance. Put on a flowing long dress, run and jump on the prairie, and every frame is like a movie scene. Taking family photos here also has a great atmosphere, with the family laughing and playing on the prairie, capturing warm moments. The sunlight adds a warm filter to the photos, making the shots incredibly beautiful. 🍂 Tuole Village, the ancient ginkgo village, is even more stunning. In autumn, the leaves of the ancient ginkgo trees turn golden and brilliant, with sunlight filtering through the leaves creating dappled light and shadow. Walking on the stone-paved roads, the fallen leaves rustle underfoot🍁, and the ancient houses are scattered around, complementing the ginkgo trees. Put on traditional clothing, stand under the ginkgo tree, or gently spin around, and the photographer can capture the serene beauty of the moment, with every frame exuding a sense of rustic elegance. 🏞️ Danxia Mountain is also not to be missed. Climbing along the winding mountain road, the misty clouds make it look like a fairyland. Reaching the top, you can overlook the magnificent scenery, feeling your heart and mind open up. Taking photos in front of the mountaintop temple feels solemn and sacred. Especially at sunset, when the sky is dyed orange-red, and the afterglow falls on you, the atmosphere is filled with romance. 🏨 Xinjv Hotel is not only a comfortable resting place during your trip but also the perfect starting point for a dreamy travel photography journey in Panzhou.

"Each station has its own scenery, this is the old city of Shaoguan in northern Guangdong" 1️⃣ Nanhua Temple Ticket🎫: 20/person You can get three incense sticks for free There were super many people on the second day of the new year, everyone went to worship the God of Wealth 2️⃣ Century-old East Street Ticket🎫: Free Commercial street, just one street away from Fengcai Tower, not very good for shopping, many shops were closed during the New Year 3️⃣ Fengcai Tower Just an ordinary building, I think these two attractions are a bit overrated 🍽️: Wengyuan Renjia Per capita: 60 Hakka cuisine is delicious!!! There is a parking lot nearby🅿️ Free parking for 2 hours The dishes are very special, the sour bamboo shoots braised duck is a bit spicy, their handmade buns are also good 4️⃣ Danxia Mountain Ticket🎫: 100/person, 80/person during the New Year, half price with a student ID Cable car: 70/person during the New Year, round trip It took three and a half hours to wait for the cable car during the New Year, but it only takes one hour to walk up. It is recommended to walk up and take the cable car down, so you can see more attractions. It took a whole day to visit Danxia Mountain because there were too many people during the New Year, and a lot of time was wasted in queues. It is recommended to travel in the off-season. 🍽️: Jingcai Restaurant Per capita: 40 Stir-fried river snails, Lianzhou vegetable heart is unique, their snail meat is crispy, just about one kilometer away from Danxia Mountain, they do not overcharge, cheap and delicious 5️⃣ Lechang City Area Mainly strolling and eating, many shops I planned to visit were closed, ended up wandering around Lechang's vegetable market, their local sugar tangerines are so cheap and tasty If you don't want to go, you can completely skip this attraction 6️⃣ Shitang Ancient Village·Shuangfeng Fort Ticket🎫: Free A building left over from past battles, behind the fort is an ancient village, it's very interesting to walk around slowly, there is also a winery inside, the owner is very nice! Osmanthus wine is delicious! 8️⃣ Wengyuan Lake Heart Dam Chang'an Weir Hakka enclosed house complex, this attraction was recommended to us by the restaurant where we ate on the first day! It's very nice to go there at sunset 9️⃣ Tu Zhiwei Art Museum We were in a hurry and didn't go in to visit, just took some photos outside 🍽️: Old Brand Glutinous Rice Cake Shop Bought a lot of glutinous rice cakes, taro cakes, the taste is average, I feel it's just a very ordinary flavor, the restaurant we found at night was just average and the attitude was very bad, so I won't recommend it Three days and two nights, mainly self-driving. Not counting the things we bought, we actually didn't spend much. The local prices are not expensive, there are no particularly good hotels, so I won't recommend them either. If you have time, you can visit Zhujixiang Alley, we didn't have enough time to go, a bit of a pity. Danxia Mountain can really be visited for a whole day, it is recommended to go up the mountain earlier, it gets super crowded in the afternoon.

Guangzhou-Danxia Mountain two-day tour. Simple guide Day 1: In the morning, take a train from Guangzhou to Shaoguan East Station (or high-speed rail to Shaoguan Station) and then you can see the bus station (on the left of the square) at the exit of the station, take the bus to Danxia Mountain for 20 yuan. After arriving at the scenic area and resting, go to Yangyuan Mountain Scenic Area in the afternoon. After seeing Yangyuan Stone, there are two paths to Ximei Village on the viewing platform. It is recommended to take the left one (the 99 steps to Ximei Village across the small bridge). Wait for the sunset on Ximei Village, you must see the sunset, it's really beautiful. This scenic area is very small, so take your time. (Accommodation suggestion, you can stay at the entrance of the scenic area or inside the scenic area. The accommodation inside the scenic area is not expensive, but the food may be a bit more expensive. Depending on your convenience, the accommodation in the scenic area is next to Yangyuan Mountain Scenic Area) Day 2, Elder Peak Scenic Area. You can get up early to watch the sunrise (although I didn't go). If you live in the scenic area, even if it's too early and there's no free shuttle bus for the scenic spot, it takes less than 1 hour to walk to Elder Peak (the navigation shows 2 kilometers and half an hour). You can take the cable car or climb by yourself. The cable car is open at 4:30 in the morning according to the announcement. Due to the reasons of my companions, I didn't climb Elder Peak on the second day, so I'm not sure about the climbing time. In the afternoon, after visiting and eating, take the train back to Guangzhou.
