There aren't many people early in the morning, and it's foggy. It gets busier once the fog clears. It's a great choice for families to visit, relax, or camp. You can drive or take public transport; there are many options. It's a seasonal attraction, so choose your time carefully.

Looking for a less-traveled destination with historical significance and hiking opportunities this weekend? The Meiguan Ancient Road in Dayu, Jiangxi is highly recommended! This ancient post road has been around for a thousand years, and after completing the hike, you can enjoy panoramic views of the county town from the mountaintop.

With relatively low foot traffic, newly built internal alleyways, and significant business loss, the interior environment is quite quiet and refreshing when there are few people; it can be considered a park with a lake. A complete walk around it takes less than an hour.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

We brought our family to visit the Canton Tower, and everyone was very satisfied. The scenic area was well-organized, the staff were patient and helpful, and the security check and tower climbing processes were orderly. The observation deck offered a wide view, making it easy for both the elderly and children to explore without long walks. From the top, you could enjoy panoramic views of both sides of the Pearl River, where the river breeze, skyscrapers, and the ancient tower blended seamlessly with the new city. At night, the lights were dazzling, and every snapshot looked like a masterpiece, making it a perfect place for the whole family to experience the charm of Guangzhou.

There are not many people on weekends. You can take the shuttle bus to the starting point. The whole journey takes about 40 minutes. There are several waterfalls with large drops. You will be soaked after the whole journey. Be sure to wear sandals, put your mobile phone in a waterproof bag, and prepare a set of dry clothes to change into after the rafting.

I visited 20 years ago, and it's still so much fun now. The park is well-maintained, all the miniature landscapes are beautiful, and there aren't too many tourists. They've also added many NPCs to interact with visitors, handing out cards that you can collect to exchange for prizes. There are also some free rides, a haunted house, a 4D movie—it has everything you could want. You could easily spend a whole day there and still not have enough.
