It's so stunning, it really moved me to tears!!
In Guangdong! There is a seriously underrated fairy-tale island
It has vast and boundless glassy seas, and every view is incredibly healing
With few people and beautiful scenery, it's known as Guangdong's 'Little Kenting'. It is the Lion Island located in Huizhou
About a 3-hour drive from Guangzhou, if you're tired of the city's hustle and bustle, consider choosing a weekend or summer vacation to relax here

Guangdong Huizhou·Lion Island
Lion Island is located in Huidong County, Huizhou City, and is a niche seaside beach. The island is like a huge reef, named for its shape resembling a lion lying on the seaside. Here you can enjoy sunbathing, admire the beach scenery, or go fishing and catch sea treasures, which is especially suitable for relaxation.
Lion Island has a beautiful hiking route with pleasant scenery, including a coastline, a large expanse of beach, and a short stretch of forest crossing! The whole journey is about 5KM.
Pass through the village path, lychee forest, onto the beach, walk on the reef, play in the sea water, go through the stone cave, and bravely explore the strange rock formation, we embrace the wind and waves...

Guangdong surrounding tour | Huizhou coastal hiking off-the-beaten-path treasure 🌴 Lion Island
On weekends, of course, go to see the beloved sea, walk along the beautiful and not tiring coastline. Lion Island, a Guangdong surrounding area, is the most recommended. It's suitable for weekend outings with children.
[Activity Schedule]
From Menkou Village to Tianhou Temple to Pebble Beach by the Sea to Lion Island Resort.
1️⃣Departure by bus from Bao'an Metro Station
2️⃣Arrive at the starting point village, there will be shops nearby for supplies. After a short rest, start crossing. The first 3 kilometers are dirt roads leading to the beach. The small dirt road is similar to the countryside road near my hometown, with many flowers and plants on the side. This section is easy to be mistaken for a cute children's spring outing.
3️⃣After a climb and a small hill, we arrived at the place with big rocks by the seaside, had some food to replenish energy and rested. The scenery by the seaside was still very nice, with a view of calm waters in the distance and turbulent waves up close. 🌊
4️⃣Continue along the coastline, passing through rocky beaches where some stones are sharp and climbing requires caution. The sun shines intermittently, so take appropriate breaks, but the sea breeze is quite comfortable.
5️⃣Arrived at Lion Island Beach, and if the tide is low, you can walk to Lion Island. As soon as I arrived at the beach, I ran into the water with my slippers on, haha. The sea water is very clear, and the sand in some areas is quite white, which helps to relieve fatigue and is very relaxing.
In the sea, there are hot girls and handsome guys surfing and swimming, and on the beach, there are many families with children driving and camping in tents, playing frisbee with young boys and girls. The whole atmosphere is full of youth, bringing everyone on the beach into a relaxed mood. It is super suitable for working people who want to relax after a week of work.
[Warm Reminder]
1. Safety comes first for hiking. Make sure to purchase travel or accident insurance before departure, and leave the contact information of your travel companions with your family in case of emergency.
2. Rest early the night before and make sure to have breakfast.
3. There are no supplies along the way, so everyone should arrange their own water and dry food supplies according to their own situation.
4. There is basically no shade along the coastline, so it's best to wear long-sleeved clothes and pants, and wear a hat and gloves, or bring a sun umbrella depending on the situation.
5. The first half of the route mainly involves walking on the reef, so please be careful of loose or sharp stones and try not to walk on the slippery areas near the sea. Please pay attention to your teammates and help each other if necessary.
6. It is recommended to bring spare clothes and change into them after reaching the finish line to avoid sitting in air-conditioned cars with wet clothes.
7. Take care of the environment and take your own trash with you.
