🏮The moment the lights were turned on in the evening was so beautiful that I was speechless! 🌈The lights were turned on in the evening, and the lights flickered, illuminating every corner of the block. The eaves and corners cast mysterious light and shadows under the bright yellow light, and the mottled shadows under people's feet were intertwined. The air was filled with the fragrance of various snacks, and the fireworks were lingering, as if I had instantly traveled to the glorious and splendid Tang Dynasty. 🌌The bluestone path was winding and the road surface was slightly shiny in the evening. Walking slowly, women in ancient costumes were passing by from time to time, laughing and fluttering. The shouts of the sister selling candied haws and the uncle who was carefully painting candy on the roadside were all worth stopping to watch and taste. 🏮The lanterns and wind chimes on the roadside floated with the breeze, adding a touch of romance to this gorgeous night. There are many old-fashioned handicrafts on both sides of the road, delicate embroidery, grand inscriptions, and quaint wood carvings. The deeper you go, the deeper your sigh will be. Each gift carries the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen. Choose a unique souvenir for your loved one. 📷Every corner of the street can produce a blockbuster in minutes. Standing on the ancient stone bridge, behind you is the brightly lit street scene, like a gorgeous dream. Whether standing in the pavilion or leaning against the window, you can take a photo of your life.

Isn’t it true that when winter comes, we southerners feel itchy and always want to see snow? Today I will tell you about some great places to enjoy snow around Guangdong👏. Nanyue Hengshan ⛰️ It is quite convenient to go to Hengshan from Guangdong. If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it only takes two and a half hours to drive from Guangzhou South to Hengshan West Station. If you start from Shenzhen North, it will take about two hours. Get off at Hengshan West Station, then transfer to a bus, and you can reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain in about 15 minutes. For those who drive by themselves, it takes about five hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Hengshan is from the end of December to February of the following year. There are not many accommodation places in the scenic area, mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. If it snows, the sightseeing bus may be out of service, so we can only walk up on our own two legs. If you are not very physically strong, you can split the trip into two days. I think staying halfway up the mountain is a good choice. It’s about 5 kilometers of hiking from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. It usually takes about two and a half hours to walk. Not too tiring. Hengshan is quite cost-effective among the rime-viewing places around Guangdong, but there are relatively few places to stay, and it may take some effort to go up the mountain. Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area ⛰️ If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes one and a half hours from Guangzhou South to Chenzhou Station, and two hours from Shenzhen North to Chenzhou Station. After leaving Chenzhou Station, it takes about an hour and a half to take a taxi to Mangshan, and it takes about four hours to drive there. The viewing period of Mangshan is also from the end of December to February. The accommodation there is mainly concentrated near Ximen. There are hot spring hotels, but the prices are a bit high. The advantage of Mangshan is that you can not only enjoy the snow scenery, but also enjoy the hot springs comfortably. The key is that you don’t have to climb the mountain. It is perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the snow easily. Jiangxi Lushan ⛰️ If you go from Guangzhou South to Lushan Station, you need to change trains, which takes about five hours in total; if you take the train from Guangzhou Station to Jiujiang Station, it will take 13 hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Lushan Mountain is from the end of December to February. There are many B&Bs and hotels on the mountain, but in the peak snow season, the price is generally between 500 and 1,000 yuan. The snow scene in Lushan Mountain is quite unique. The snow is thick and not inferior to the snow scene in the north. You can have fun building a snowman there. Let me summarize it for you: Hengshan: Among the rime viewing options around Guangdong, the cost is relatively reasonable, but there are few accommodation places, and you may have to hike up the mountain when it snows. Mangshan: You can enjoy the snow and soak in hot springs without having to climb the mountain. There are many accommodation options in Ximen, among which hot spring hotels are more expensive. Lushan Mountain: The snow scenery is quite unique, the snow is abundant, and there are various accommodations on the mountain. The price increases to a certain extent in the peak season. You can choose the snow viewing destination you want to go to based on your actual situation, such as budget, physical strength, etc.

2.5 hours from Shenzhen, take a high-speed train to see the snow. The following attractions are recommended: 1. Mount Heng, Hunan: It takes about 2 hours and 44 minutes from Shenzhen North Railway Station to Hengshan West Railway Station. Mount Heng is a famous snow-viewing destination in southern China. December to February is the best time to see the snow. The rime is a spectacular sight. There are also attractions such as Zhuruong Peak, Nanyue Temple, Zeng Guofan Ancient Road, and Nantianmen. You may have the chance to see snow, sunrise, a sea of clouds, and starry skies at the top of the mountain. 2. Mangshan, Hunan: It takes about 2 hours from Shenzhen North Railway Station to Chenzhou West Railway Station, and then about 1.5 hours by scenic area bus to Mangshan. You can see snow from December to early February. There are cable cars, escalators, and vertical elevators to the top of the mountain, which is suitable for tourists who want to see the snow easily. There are also forest hot spring hotels nearby, so you can enjoy the fun of hot springs while watching the snow. It is recommended to check the local weather forecast and scenic area announcements before visiting these attractions to better plan your trip.

🌟Highlights: Hengyang, a city with a strong manufacturing base, has embarked on a path of cultural and tourism development in recent years. Several newly added commercial districts and attractions have become popular destinations. If you have some free time this weekend, Hengyang is worth a visit. ✅Must-try 1: Nanyueli Temple Fair Cultural and Food Street. This newly built national-style commercial pedestrian street in Hengshan County is a 5-minute drive from the foot of Hengshan Mountain. The entire street, less than 1 km long, is lined with Chinese-style ancient buildings, mainly featuring Hunan snacks. When the lights come on at night, it feels like traveling back to the Tang and Song dynasties. During major holidays, there are also performances featuring women in ancient costumes dancing on boats and firework shows. ✅Must-try 2: Baoweili Community. The Hengyang Railway Bureau holds a significant position in China's railway history. Here, you can find the former office of the Hengyang Railway Bureau, which is now the Hengyang Railway Museum. The surrounding streets have been renovated and now feature many colorful graffiti walls, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Former shops have been transformed into cafes and gift shops. ✅Must-try 3: Jianxiang Road. Jianxiang Road was once Hengyang's factory district. The community streets have been renovated, with new graffiti walls covering several residential buildings, giving the area a cyberpunk feel. You can visit the Jianxiang Industrial Art Museum, which was converted from an old factory building. Next door is the Jianxiang Canteen, which retains the industrial character of the area. 🍽Dining Recommendations: 1️⃣ Hengyang fish noodles are a local breakfast specialty. I personally recommend Xu Lai Ji Fish Noodle Shop. The fish soup is super fresh, but the fish has many bones, so be sure to chew slowly and carefully. 2️⃣ For lunch or dinner, Hengyang small stir-fries are a must-try. I recommend Wang Huo Huo Local Hunan Cuisine. The dishes are served quickly, and the wok hei is evident. The spicy and garlicky flavors will tantalize your taste buds. 👎Least Recommended: Shigu Academy. This is a landmark in Hengyang City and one of the four major academies in ancient times, rated as a 4A-level scenic spot. However, the academy is very small, and you can walk around it in 15 minutes. The river view is also quite ordinary. You can skip this if you have limited time. 🚉Transportation Guide: Hengyang City is not large, and the above attractions all have parking lots. If you don't have a car, you can take a taxi or rent a shared electric bike, which is more cost-effective.

🕙Opening Hours: Open all day. Check the official WeChat account for announcements during extreme weather. 📍Address: Take the scenic shuttle bus to the Nanyue Hengshan Tourist Service Center. If hiking, the most classic route starts at Shenglifang. ⏳Duration: 1. Taking the shuttle bus for both uphill and downhill sections: 4 hours is sufficient. 2. Hiking from Shenglifang via Fanyin Trail to Nantianmen and Zhurong Peak: 4–5 hours. Add 1 hour for the downhill shuttle bus or 3–4 hours for hiking down. 3. Taking the shuttle bus uphill and hiking down: 5–6 hours is sufficient. Plan your trip using navigation software and adjust according to your needs. Remember to assess your physical capabilities. ❤Why Visit: China has countless magnificent mountains. If you're unsure which one to climb, start with the Five Great Mountains. Mount Heng (Hengshan Mountain) is one of the Five Great Mountains. Online reviews suggest its difficulty is second only to Mount Hua. One of the main reasons for our 2025 winter trip to Changsha was to climb Hengshan Mountain. 🧳Preparation: A 29-minute high-speed train ride from Changsha South Station takes you to Hengshan West Station. Most hotels and guesthouses at the foot of the mountain offer free pick-up services from Hengshan West Station. After breakfast the next day, at 8:30 am sharp, we set off from Shenglifang. Equipped with water, umbrellas, raincoats, chocolate, sausages, and other essentials in our backpacks, we began our hike towards Zhurong Peak. 🗓Itinerary: Our route started from Shenglifang, passing the ticket checkpoint, Fanyin Trail, Nantianmen, and finally reaching Zhurong Peak. This is the most common and classic hiking route, offering a full experience of Hengshan Mountain's natural beauty and cultural attractions. Fanyin Trail is a famous hiking route on Hengshan Mountain. Starting near the Kangjialong ticket office near Shenglifang, the trail stretches for about 9 km, offering picturesque scenery and a perfect blend of nature and culture. The rain came and went. Along the way, we encountered many other hikers, including families with children, also wearing raincoats and carrying umbrellas. Plum blossoms were in full bloom on the mountain, a rare winter sight for us northerners. We kept smiling, reminding ourselves that we were paying to climb stairs. After four and a half hours, we finally reached Zhurong Peak, the highest peak of Hengshan Mountain, at 1:00 pm! Despite the rain and our physical limits, the joy and sense of accomplishment of reaching the summit brought us immense satisfaction. ✅Must-try: I believe that mountain climbing should be a genuine physical endeavor. If you're in good physical condition, you should hike to the top. Taking a shuttle bus or cable car defeats the purpose and joy of climbing.
