Tired of the crowds at popular attractions and looking for a fun and off-the-beaten-path escape? Today, we'll recommend four hidden gems with direct high-speed rail access. These sparsely populated, beautiful towns offer excellent value for money and are sure to make your trip a truly amazing one! Chaozhou 📍 Chaozhou is a vibrant, culinary capital, where every bite is a true delight! - Guangji Bridge: One of China's four great ancient bridges, this unique, open-and-close bridge spans the Han River with a majestic presence during the day and a breathtaking display of light at night. Admission is 20 yuan, open from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM. - Archway Street: 22 archways line the streets, each telling the story of Chaozhou's history. There's also a plethora of delicious food here, including Huilai mung bean cakes, Wu Jinping snacks, Licorice Family, and sugar-scallion pancakes. You won't want to stop eating while you're there! - Kaiyuan Temple: The most ancient temple in eastern Guangdong, it's a bustling place. Around 8:30 a.m., you can receive three incense sticks for worship and a lucky bag bracelet. - Xima Road: Authentic Chaozhou snack street, brimming with the flavor of local life, is a great place to find delicious food. She County 📍 She County is like a slowly unfolding ink painting, each corner exuding a rich Hui style charm. - Huizhou Ancient City: One of China's four best-preserved ancient cities, it offers free admission. Enter through the west gate and first visit the Huizhou government office to learn about ancient official culture. You can also climb the city wall from the back garden for a panoramic view of the ancient city. Then, visit the unique octagonal Xuguo Stone Archway, boasting over 400 years of history and stunning carvings. - Xin'an River Landscape Gallery: Take a boat trip along the river, surrounded by verdant mountains and clear waters, and the staggered arrangement of Hui-style buildings, creating a feeling of being transported to a painting. You can also watch the authentic "Nine Surnames Fishing" water show and experience the local fishing culture. - Yuliang Dam: Built in the Tang Dynasty, this ancient dam, constructed entirely of solid stone, is a testament to the wisdom of ancient water conservancy engineering. Standing atop the dam, watching the Lianjiang River rush down is truly breathtaking. Shaoxing 📍 Shaoxing is a poetic Jiangnan water town, permeated with a gentle atmosphere. - Lu Xun's Hometown: Scenes straight out of the textbooks come to life, with Sanwei Bookstore and Baicao Garden. Walking along the bluestone paths, you'll feel like you're immersing in the Shaoxing described by Lu Xun. Free, but reservations are required. Early morning is recommended to avoid crowds. Don't forget to visit the Xianheng Hotel for fennel beans, rice wine, and a Kong Yiji-style meal. - Shen Garden: A Song Dynasty-style garden, the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan adds a touch of romance to this place. Explore pavilions and waterside terraces by day, and watch the Yue Opera "Shenyuan Qing" at night, transporting you back to the Southern Song Dynasty. - Anchang Ancient Town: Explore the thousand-year-old town for free, where sausages and braised duck hang from the eaves and black-sailed boats sail leisurely through the streets. Be sure to try the soy sauce ice cream, watch a water wedding, and buy ten-year-old rice wine. - East Lake: A filming location for "Journey to the West." For just 50 yuan, take a black-sailed boat through Taogong Cave and gaze up at the "One Line of Sky." In the evening, the setting sun paints the cliffs golden, a breathtaking sight that will leave you speechless. Taining 📍 Taining is a natural treasure, with its unique Danxia landforms, a true paradise for geologists. - Zhaixia Grand Canyon: Formed by three linked canyons, it forms a circular triangle. The "earth-shattering" landscape of Tongtian Gorge, the "time tunnel" of Yitian Gorge, and the Danxia caves of Tianqiong Rock—each one will leave you marveling at the wonders of nature. Tickets are 55 yuan, and the tour lasts 3 hours. - Dajin Lake: The spectacular aquatic Danxia, featuring Ganluyan Temple, a line of sky over the water, and the Tiangong Buddha statue, creates a rare aquatic Danxia in China. Tickets are 80 yuan per person, boat tickets are 75 yuan per person, and the boat tour guide fee is 8 yuan per person. The tour lasts about 3.5 hours. We recommend going early in the morning or at noon. - Shangqingxi Rafting: Journey through the Ninety-Nine Bends and Eighty-Eight Rapids on a bamboo raft, feeling like entering an ancient maze. Along the way, you'll encounter numerous attractions like "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate" and "Golden Bell Ringing."
