Yunfu, Guangdong, in the name of freedom, is a good place to hide surprises.

This is a good place for Cantonese friends to go to go on road trip on weekends. This hidden treasure city has so many amazing scenery and special experiences!

For example, this big Wuyun Mountain scenic spot has scenic spots such as Shilin, Qilin Cave, Gaopai Waterfall and cave rafting!

Panlong Cave in Yunfu City is a typical karst cave, which is formed by the continuous expansion of groundwater flowing in marble cracks for a long time.

Xinxing County in Yunfu was awarded the honor of "World Zen Health Hot Springs", which is a good place to soak hot springs in Guangdong.

Up to now, more than 500 ancient buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties have been preserved, and Shuidong Village is the "first village of Lingnan Neo-Confucianism".

Eat, drink and be merry. There are even ancient towns in the mountains. You can also enjoy flowers, play some exciting projects, and finally go to the Tianlushan tourist resort of the hot spring hotel for one night.

Dayun Scenic Area is suitable for self-driving, blessed with Shilin, Qilin Cave, Gaopai Waterfall and cave rafting!

After entering the scenic spot, we went straight to Gaopai Waterfall. The first thing you can see when you look at this waterfall is a canal. Ducks are kept in captivity, which is a quiet scenery.

If you want to see the waterfall, you must climb the mountain for a while. Fortunately, it is neither too high nor too steep. When you first see rows of waterfalls flying down, you will feel so magical and spectacular! If there are more summer days, it should be more magnificent!

If you want to see a better angle, you need to walk on the dam, but it's a bit dangerous. I suggest not trying. It's very convenient if you shoot with a drone!

In fact, there will be many fig trees in the scenic spot. It's the first time for me to see wild figs growing on trees, and there are so many!

Continue on the mountain road, and you can walk to the spacious road and the Shilin area in Fu Lin. The stone forest here is even more magical. At first, it seems to be deliberately placed, but it is actually naturally formed!

Further on, it will be even more impressive. I actually went to the Shilin area with mazes and alleys. Some narrow places have to be sideways to cross, and some shapes are even more imaginative.

Through the maze of Fu Lin Stone Forest, we reached the top of the mountain. Looking from here, there are layers of mountains at the foot, and the clouds floating on the mountains feel like fairyland. Maybe it's called Wu Yunshan.

Don't think that the stone forest is over. In fact, there is still a lot to visit, but you won't get lost as long as you follow the route. And you can also see the points that must be punched. For example, what does this look like to you? Does it look like lovers kissing? This is a very romantic punch point!

Then look at this. Does it look like a rhinoceros drinking water? It is said that when the weather is right and the people are in harmony, you can still see the moon reflected on the water, showing a more amazing picture.

Walking through the Stone Forest, you can go to Qilin Cave to see the wonders. This is a natural cave. The ceiling world, palace lantern exhibition hall, mural treasure house and pebbles are the four classic wonders in the cave. The treasure of the town cave, "Guanyin gives a jade unicorn", is a natural combination of Guanyin and Kirin, which is unparalleled in the world.

What's more fun is drifting in Qilin Cave, shuttling between caves and stone forests, which is a very special way to play!

How to travel: You can drive directly from Guangzhou to about 2.5 hours, or you can take the bullet train 1 hour to Yunfu East Station and then drive 1.5 hours.

Location of scenic spots: Gaopai Village, East Road Village Committee, Fulin Town, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province

Panlong Cave, located in Yunfu City, is a typical karst cave. The groundwater flowing in marble cracks has been expanding for a long time, and it took more than 170 million years to gradually form secondary caves. Because of its twists and turns, it looks like a dragon, so it is named "Panlong Cave".

Not far from Panlong Cave, there is actually a Panlong Tianhu Lake which is very important to Yunfu. This is a good place for local people to exercise and relax every day, and look at this scenery, is it a bit like the landscape of Yangshuo, Guilin! Small Guilin!

It takes about ten minutes to walk to Panlong Cave from here. Panlong Cave takes one step at a time, and the scenery is amazing. * * * is divided into three layers, three-dimensional structure. The upper "paradise" is Tian Tong Cave, the lower Longquan Underground River, the middle Kowloon Promenade and the underwater world. You can't imagine from the outside that there is such a huge cave inside!

Soon after entering the scenic spot, you can see the wonders of the world blooming! It's amazing that only the United States, Turkey and China have it! The gem flower community in Panlong Cave, China is the most complete and pure white.

Starting from here, the exploration journey of Panlong Cave. Every strange stone here can be combined with a fairy tale, and it is so similar. For example, the Eight Immortals celebrate their birthdays, while the Poseidon needle is fixed.

There are various natural wonders here, such as natural jade umbrellas, jumping fish in Longmen, white dragons playing in the water and so on. , fascinating and fascinating.

Attractions In order to increase the viewing effect, different scenic spots have lifelike 3D holograms. For example, this golden dragon is recorded, and the small hole in the cave wall is originally a spring of water. Although the spring eye is very small, these stone waterfalls and dams are all formed by the flowing water of this spring eye, and the animation effect of golden dragon soaring is projected on the water surface.

The umbrella tent in Luo Yu consists of two parts. The shield-shaped panel at the top is called a stone shield (also called a palette), and the part falling from the top of the shield is called a shield pendant, which belongs to a stone curtain. The combination of these two parts is a gorgeous mosquito net made of jade, which is extremely rare.

One thing you can't appreciate when you go to Panlong Cave in winter is that some wet stones have no water at all because of lack of water, but you can see the sparkling minerals on them!

In this way, I shuttled through the cave for more than half an hour, saw all kinds of strange stones, and finally walked out of the scenic spot through a scenic spot I had just visited. Bright lights make online celebrities take pictures one after another, but they make people linger.

How to travel: You can drive directly from Guangzhou for about 2 hours, or you can take the bullet train 1 hour to Yunfu East Station and drive for more than ten minutes.

Location of scenic spots: No.75 Panlong Road, Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. There is a free parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot.

There is such a hidden ancient village in Yunfu. Up to now, more than 500 ancient buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties have been preserved. The architectural style is very distinctive and full of the charm of Neo-Confucianism culture. It was recognized as "the first village of Lingnan Neo-Confucianism" by Guangdong Neo-Confucianism Culture Research Association.

The answer lies in the profound cultural background of Shuidong Village. But surrounded by mountains, lush century-old banyan trees, quaint square stone wells, ancient buildings with blue brick roofs and mottled walls all seem to have crossed into another era.

If you want to reach Shuidong Village, you need to drive through highways, mountain roads and villages.

It is amazing because there are ancient buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, and some of them have the characteristics of Huizhou architecture and western style. If you are lucky, you will meet the unique folk culture of Shuidong Village and hold the annual "Fireworks Grab" activity.

What impressed me the most was this ancestral hall of Chengjia, which is now also the exhibition hall of Neo-Confucianism culture in Shuidong Village, where CCTV once made a shooting report!

Built in Qianlong period, the ancestral hall is the largest ancestral hall in Shuidong Village and even Yunfu City. In addition to the entrance to the ancestral temple, there are stacked walls on both sides of the roof that are worth seeing. It is shaped like a horse's head, so it is called "horse's head wall", which was originally common in Huizhou architecture. Isn't it amazing?

Walking in the ancient town is very quiet, like crossing. Buildings, stone roads, etc. What has been preserved in those years is love!

This Yi Yan school is a library and cultural exhibition hall. Cultural accomplishment is always emphasized, so many schools have been built. At the peak, there are nearly ten schools in the village at the same time.

Han Zhai Chenggong Ancestral Temple is a water town life exhibition hall in shuidong village, which displays Shuidong farming culture.

Just say "fireworks", which is a unique folk culture in Shuidong Village. On the second day of February every year, Shuidong Village will hold a grand event on this day. Families who have just got married and given birth in the past year will light a fireworks, a "groom's gun" for their wedding and a "tripod gun" for their children to celebrate the prosperity of the population and families.

In this building, we see another kind of building wall, and this round arch design is also a major feature of Shuidong Village's ancient buildings! It is also my favorite little scene after my visit.

From the businesses, money houses, inns and "small docks" in Shuidong Village, it can be seen that people in Shuidong Village paid attention to the "faith" in Neo-Confucianism culture at that time and did business in good faith, which created this prosperous place for business travel.

Guangdong Tianlushan Tourist Resort is at an altitude of 125 1 m, which is the highest peak in south-central Guangdong with high mountains and dense forests.

Tianlu Mountain is shrouded in mist all the year round, with strange stones and flowers in the mountains. Green trees are lush all year round, and azaleas are more charming when they are in full bloom. There are plum gardens worth visiting in winter.

Visiting Tianlu Mountain, if you walk all the way, it takes about 4 hours to reach the top, which requires a lot of physical strength. You can take the scenic sightseeing bus to the top platform, and then go downstream to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

On the way, you can also experience flying trapeze, drifting and other fun projects. If you are tired of playing, you can relax in the hot spring hotel.

Come to enjoy plums in winter. There are more than 9,000 mu of native merlin here, so coming to Tianlu Mountain is very suitable for enjoying plums in winter. Snow-white plum blossoms are in full bloom in the wind, and a faint fragrance comes to my face.

There are even ancient towns in the mountains! Meixi Town relies on the scenic Tianlu Mountain in Guangdong Province, with the theme of "Zen culture, Lingnan architectural culture and southern medicine health culture", including tourism, praying for meditation, specialty shopping and other functions.

Let's do something exciting. Tianlushanyun Glass Bridge is the highest glass bridge in Guangdong at present. It was really scary just walking up.

Glass Floating in the Air is a new project among network celebrities. Crossing the forest flowers, twists and turns, especially exciting. Flying trapeze can also be said to be a zip line, flying fast between mountains and valleys, with speed and passion in the air.

Tianlushan tourist resort is really all about food and shelter. The resort provides comprehensive eco-tourism services, including accommodation facilities such as lake view hotel, wooden house villa and waterscape waterfall restaurant.

Chanlongxia Restaurant can enjoy the beautiful scenery of China classical gardens and taste the special food of authentic farmhouse restaurants.

Worry-free Valley Hotel, which combines the antique architectural styles of Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, has spacious and bright rooms and a separate hot spring pool in the meditation room.

It takes about 3 hours to drive from Guangzhou and more than 2 hours to drive from Zhaoqing. There is a parking lot in the scenic spot.

Tickets for a single scenic spot are in 45 yuan, so it is more cost-effective to buy a hotel package.

Speaking of hot springs, Yunfu Xinxing is really a good place to go. There are various hot spring hotels here to meet your various needs. And it is said that the peak season may not be booked 1-2 months in advance!

For example, this month, Tianxia Ecological Resort, its design style is the first time I have seen it! Be sure to experience the villa accommodation here, not only a single-family garden, but also a bath in the garden!

If you come to play in summer, you can go directly to the swimming pool by pushing open the garden door! The swimming pool here is developed around the villa area, which has a sense of design!

On the other side of the central activity building, there will be not only outdoor square restaurants, but also fun water projects to play.

Another Xiangshun Jinshuitai hot spring town not far from Yuetianxia. What is interesting here is the outdoor hot spring amusement park, where there are all kinds of hot springs to experience! There is hot tea next to the hot spring, which is really a pleasure!

There is also an area where Tang Chi is made of different Chinese medicines, with different effects. Even more amazing is that there is a KTV Tangchi, where you can order drinks and songs in the bar! It's the first time to see singing in a hot spring!

Because Xinxing is the hometown of Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and it is a place where Buddhism preaches and dies, it has always been a prosperous incense and attracted many people.

Chancheng is a comprehensive cultural tourism base with Zen as its theme. Including Zen Music Hall, Commercial Street, Yatu Hotel and other blocks, covering shopping, entertainment, accommodation, experience and other comprehensive business districts.

The most special thing can be said to be a big drama staged at night-the Six Ancestors Ceremony!

This is an epic masterpiece composed of eight chapters: Zen domain, Zen pulse, Zen edge, Zen sound, Zen method, Zen realm, Zen saint and Zen enlightenment, which reproduces the life of Huineng, the sixth ancestor, who enlightened and lectured on the scriptures.

As the first live performance in Guangdong, this "Six Ancestors Ceremony" is really extraordinary. Let me ask you this question. Have you ever seen a performance that needs to follow the performance scene?

According to different story lines, performances will be performed in different real scenes, and tourists need to follow these scenes to watch!

The whole performance has light and shadow, scenery, actors and sound effects. It's definitely a super audio-visual feast, even if it's over, it's still unfinished!

The poem in the whole play can't be forgotten for a long time: "Bodhi has no trees, and it is not Taiwan in the mirror. Nothing, where is the dust? "

This is the place worth visiting in Yunfu! I never thought there would be such a shocking town 2 hours drive from Guangzhou! Then how to arrange the itinerary, you can refer to my itinerary.

Day 1 day: Guangzhou-Yunfu-Wu Yun-Panlong Cave

Tips:

1, Guangzhou can travel to and from Yunfu by car, or, like us, take the train to Yunfu East Station to rent a car.

2. Some scenic spots need to pass through mountain roads, which may be difficult to drive. It is suggested to find an old driver to accompany them.
