🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋🎋
Day One:
Arrive at Guangde South Station by high-speed train. You can take a taxi right at the entrance. Here's a complaint: Guangde taxis aggressively solicit passengers, which is annoying 🚕
Accommodation:
Guangde is not big, so any hotel will do. Everything is close by. Recommended: Hillman Platinum Hotel, the hotel is quite new and the facilities are decent 🉑
Bathhouse:
Friends in Guangde highly recommend experiencing the local bathhouse culture. We went to Jinlang Bathhouse, where you can enjoy a steam bath and play cards at the same time. It's a great experience with friends~
Dinner: Le Yang Lou Ji Hotpot 🍲
Recommended by local friends, the mutton is particularly praiseworthy 👍🏻
Recommended dishes: Mutton pan-fried dumplings, beef cubes, mutton spine, and mutton skewers!
All delicious, worth a try
Day Two
Breakfast: Lao Huang Fried Rice, a bowl of fried rice with 20 kinds of side dishes, only 13💰, eat until you're stuffed haha
Recommended side dishes: Dried green beans, fish, as well as celery and bamboo shoots, all very tasty
Ji Shan Bamboo Sea
Drive or take a taxi to Ji Shan, park at the farmhouse, and then climb up. It's actually quite gentle, but still tiring to climb. The air is so fresh, and there's a clear stream. Start from Ba Fu Farmhouse, pass through Zhu Village, then to the mountain pass, and finally to the mountain top. Descend the stairs, a total of one and a half hours. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and from the mountain top, you can see vast expanses of bamboo sea, bamboo everywhere, digging bamboo shoots is prohibited 🚫 but I really want to dig for bamboo shoots, can't find any.
After coming down, you can eat at the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain
Recommended: Bamboo Sea Yuan
Recommended dishes: Shuiyang Three Treasures! The specialty dishes are quite tasty, and there's a lot to show off
Green beans, stir-fried on a farmhouse stove are really delicious
Haozi Baba, stuffed and tasty 😋
Crispy rice dipped in fermented bean curd, this can be tried, and other dishes are also good
Lu Village Reservoir
Not far from Ji Shan ⛰️, there's a large open space for camping 🏕️ and picnicking. Climbing up there is really beautiful, the reservoir is large, and it's surrounded by green mountains. Watching the sunrise and sunset must be beautiful
Finally, you can stroll around the streets of Guangde. I heard the fried noodles are delicious, but I didn't get to try them, boo hoo hoo
