Hejiang Attic(合江楼)|Best Place for Breeze
Hejiang Attic in the conjunction of Dongjiang and Xizhi Jiang, is one of the 6 famous attics in Canton, well known as Zhenhai Attic in Guangzhou and Yuejiang Attic in ZhaoQing.
In the Hejiang Attic, you can see the two rivers conjunct together and a nice view of some mountains at its back. Just 20 meters away, there is a Shuidong Street(水东街), full of bars and restaurants. An awesome place to enjoy some drinks along the riverside with breeze.

Heading to Huizhou city to see the "sea"
Last time I visited Huizhou was probably in 2017? It's been a while
My impression back then was: an old small town
Didn't leave much of an impression
Spent the weekend with my significant other visiting friends
Took a stroll along Shuidong Street by the river
It must have been around 5 pm
Looking down from Hejiang Tower
I was actually a bit shocked!
The sunset over the river, coupled with the distant bridge and nearby yachts
Somehow gave off the vibe of a seaside city
(Although it is one, the sea isn't in the city area)
Heard from friends that this area started to be renovated about three years ago
The effect is quite significant
Yes, to be honest, the change is so big it really surprised me
A few photo spots:
1⃣️ Shooting downwards from the stairs of Hejiang Tower
2⃣️ The yachts by the river + white railings
3⃣️ Using a telephoto lens to capture the distant bridge

Su Dongpo once stayed here for three years
and created countless famous poems
Unexpectedly, the actual Huizhou is also so beautiful

Route planning:

I recommend a convenient travel app 'Youya', which has very comprehensive guides. Many of the guides are real and effective suggestions from locals. If you want to travel smartly and avoid pitfalls, consider using it. Following the guides can really save you time and effort

Come to Huizhou for a leisurely citywalk journey
There are still people who don't know about this amazing citywalk route in Huizhou‼️
As the backyard of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Huizhou is not just about Luofu Mountain and Shuangyue Bay. 😉 Its urban area also hides many treasure spots, yet some people are unaware‼️
Don't worry about it being overly commercialized. Taking a slow stroll here and whiling away the time is simply too enjoyable. 🥰
📍city walk route:
Huizhou West Lake - Yuanmiao Ancient Temple - Zhuwu Alley - Hejiang Tower - Shuidong Street - Dongpo Ancestral Hall - Yedao Cultural Living Area
1⃣ Huizhou West Lake: There's not only a West Lake in Hangzhou, you know. 🤫 It's super enjoyable to wander around here when you're free, and if you're lucky, you might even join a tour group. 😉 I personally prefer the sunset time🌆. It's great for taking photos outside the park, and there's also a West Lake pedestrian street nearby for shopping. 🛍
2⃣ Zhunti Temple: This is a temple that's not crowded with tourists, and the few little cats 🐈 in the temple are super cute. 😘
3⃣ Yuanmiao Ancient Temple: It's one of the earliest Taoist temples in Lingnan. Between work and self-improvement, why not come here to light an incense stick for good luck?
4⃣ Shuidong Street: Hejiang Tower is right next to it, and the night view is super beautiful‼️ Shuidong Street is also an old street in Huizhou, full of charm. Here you can also taste Huizhou local delicacies like radish buns. 👈
5⃣ Zhuwu Alley: The alley is full of delicious food 😋. If you're interested in souvenirs, there are also many shops to browse slowly.
6⃣ Dongpo Ancestral Hall: This is where Su Dongpo once lived in Huizhou, and it's very historical. 📜
7⃣ Yedao Cultural Living Area: This is a place where many young people like to check in 📸. There are various specialty coffee shops and bookstores, perfect for taking pictures. 🤳
Huizhou is really a city suitable for slow strolling, without the fast pace of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the cost of living is not high, with most attractions being free. 🎈
🚗 Transportation: Taking the bus 🚌 and scanning a code for travel is very convenient, and taxis are not expensive in the city either. 🚕
Come to Huizhou for a leisurely citywalk journey. 😉💕 Huizhou·Guangdong

I always like the neat dress style, even the long skirts are rare.
This trip to Yidu, a small town in Hubei Province, met this imitation Chinese-style building, Hejiang Tower, the first Hanfu experience of Yingjing's life, and the unexpected co-production. The
Hejiang Building was built in the Tang Dynasty more than 1300 years ago. It was repeatedly destroyed and built. Until the 1980s, it was rebuilt, and public opinion was collected. The "Wangjiang Building" was renamed "Hejiang Building" and the two rivers were taken. The meaning of convergence.
The Pentium of the Yangtze River, the hustle and bustle of the Qingjiang River, blended in Yidu, and endowed it with a versatile temperament.
tips: The light is too strong at noon and is not recommended for taking pictures.
1 hour before the evening is best, take a photo and wait, the sunset and sunset of Hejiang Tower are not to be missed~
Summer PD.
In the days of Yidu, chasing the sun from six to four months, the east and west fell, and the Hejiang Tower, which stands in the face of the river, seems to like silence, silently watching the river, with the golden dyeing of this city, everything is in the veins. Clearly open. Stepping on the first-class steps and boarding Liangshan to watch the sunset, the wind on the top of the mountain blew the hair, but I felt that the sunset was beautiful, and I felt that the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain was independent and quiet. Perhaps this is the place where the Tao is natural.
I am in Yidu, where are you?
