A hidden gem near Guangzhou! An enchanted forest, with few people and great photo ops

Location: Gongkeng Temple, Tangxia (Pengjiang District, Jiangmen) 🎫 Tickets: Free! Free! Free! 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended (about 1.5 hrs from Guangzhou) ✨ Reasons to visit: 1️⃣ A lush, green wonderland: Towering ancient trees, moss-covered stone steps, and quiet bamboo forests, as if you've stepped into the world of The Wizard of Oz! 2️⃣ Zen Buddhist Temple: A century-old temple hidden in the mountains, with red walls and green tiles, and the scent of burning incense, creating a captivating atmosphere. 3️⃣ A photographer's paradise: The dappled light of the forest, the corners of the ancient temple, and the long stone corridors all make for stunning photos! 📸 Photo Tips: ✔️ Wear a light-colored long dress or Hanfu, which will look amazing against the green trees and red walls! ✔️ Use the light filtering through the leaves to create a sense of depth. ✔️ Shoot the ancient trees from a low angle looking up to get a cinematic composition! 💬 Real Experience: There are really few people! Even on weekends, you can have the whole forest to yourself. The ancient temple blends perfectly with nature, making it a great place to relax, pray, and take photos. It's the best hidden gem for a short trip near Guangzhou! 🔍 Navigation: Search directly for "Gongkeng Temple." After parking, you need to walk uphill for 20 minutes (the road conditions are good).
