After three days in Longmen, my spending habits were completely shattered!

🌿🌞🏯💦🍜 Girls! Just returned from Longmen in Guangdong and immediately had to share this June summer escape guide! This hidden "Hot Spring Kingdom" in northern Huizhou is absolutely amazing—90%+ forest coverage with healing greenery everywhere, plus you can soak in radon-fluorine hot springs under the stars! Just a 2-hour drive from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, perfect for a spontaneous weekend getaway~ 【3-Day 2-Night Itinerary】 ✨DAY1: Hot Spring Therapy Day ☀️Morning: Head straight to Wyndham Hot Spring Hotel in Nankun Mountain🏨 (the largest in the area!) 👉🏻Must-do: 81 functional hot spring pools to choose from! The rooftop infinity pool is my favorite—soaking while gazing at the sea of clouds is Instagram gold~ (The hotel offers DIY lacquer fans and fireworks during Dragon Boat Festival🎆) 🍜Noon: Feast at the hotel buffet! Must-try: Hakka stuffed tofu, so flavorful it’ll make your taste buds dance💃 🌙Night: Dash to Dipai Hot Spring’s viral infinity pool! The lights make the water sparkle like diamonds—don’t forget a waterproof phone case📸 ✨DAY2: Nature + Ancient Town Adventure ☀️Morning: Deer Eagle Park Family Fun Zone🎠 👉🏻Activities: Feed sika deer + rainbow slide + lake fountain show, with free balloons at 4 PM! 🍜Noon: Rush to Longmen Ancient Town for "Sun Quan gluten balls"🍢! Crispy outside, chewy inside, with juicy meat filling—absolute perfection! 🌙Night: Free night stroll by Inkstone Pond🌌! Ancient houses reflected under moonlight look like CGI—dress in Hanfu for god-tier photos! ✨DAY3: Culture + Foodie Day ☀️Morning: Visit Sun Clan Ancestral Hall for intricate wood carvings🛕 (included in town ticket). The dragon-phoenix designs are so detailed they look AI-made... 🍜Noon: Must-try Longmen rice wine + beef claypot🍶! The wine tastes like liquid mochi, and the beef melts in your mouth! 🌙Night: Grab some ai ci (mugwort cakes) as souvenirs—so sticky you can pull strings~ 【Top Picks】 1️⃣ Wyndham Hot Spring: 💯/10 resort experience! Rooms have private hot springs—you’ll soak till your skin wrinkles🤣 (Book Dragon Boat Festival activities in advance) 2️⃣ Longmen Ancient Town Inkstone Pond: Free🆓! Misty mornings = fairyland; golden hour after 4 PM is magical 3️⃣ Dipai Hot Spring Infinity Pool: Prime photo spot! Solid-color swimsuits pop best👙 4️⃣ Baiguoli Fruit Tourism Complex: Kid heaven! Water fights + DIY zongzi—fun all day 【Lessons Learned】 😭Never wear flip-flops in the ancient town! The slippery stone paths will have your toes cramping... 【Foodie Radar】 🍡Longmen gluten balls: Deep-fried carb bombs! Juicy meat bursts out—so good neighbors will peek over 🍶Longmen rice wine: 3% ABV sweet buzz! Chilled like milk tea (but sneaky strong) 🐂Longmen beef: Claypot-braised brisket so tender it falls apart—pair with rice for 3 bowls 🌿Ai ci: Mugwort aroma + oozy sesame filling—stretchy enough to tie knots 🍯Rice crackers: Heritage snack! Addictively crispy—buy 10 bags for binge-watching 【Budget Breakdown】 Hot spring hotels ~¥500+/night (with meals + unlimited soaks), ancient town ticket ¥60 (but free via Yangqiaotou alley), gluten balls ¥5/each (filling!), rice wine ¥20/jin, Didi > buses~ 💖Final thoughts: Longmen days = "soak-eat-photo" loop. Skin glows, bellies round... Now I’m haunted by steamy springs and fried gluten aromas—girls, go now! (Psst: Off-peak visits rule🎒🌄🍃💕🚗)
