🏨 Thousand-Year Yao Village in Qingyuan, Guangdong 💰 Average consumption: Book one day in advance for 106 yuan 🚉 Transportation strategy: Drive directly to the destination, free parking! 2 hours direct from Guangzhou, let's go to the thousand-year-old village to idle away the weekend! ❤ Recommended reason: Having spent too much time in the city, invite friends to spend a few days in the mountains for a breezy life. Watch the sunrise in the morning, stroll through the ancient town when idle in the afternoon, and chat about life with friends in the courtyard at night! 🌟 Highlights: The thousand-year Yao Village is surrounded by mountains and stands atop a mountain as a thousand-year-old ancient town, with each house's window offering a view like an ink painting, where you can admire the beautiful sunrise while lying in bed in the morning. 👍 Most recommended: The place is not big, and although it is the thousand-year Yao Village, it has become quite commercial and does not offer the ancient village charm. However, because the scenery is very beautiful and secluded, I think it is very pleasant to spend two days here on vacation. When you climb up and see the beautiful mountain view rooms, when you are awakened by the first rays of the morning sun, when you look at the ink painting-like scenery while dining, you will truly be amazed by the landscape here! 📝 Note tips: 1. There are many homestays, be sure to confirm whether it is a room with a sunrise view and whether there are any obstructions. Whether it is a sliding door or a floor-to-ceiling window to watch the sunrise. (Because the mountain view here is really beautiful) 2. When dining, it is recommended to find the highest point to eat, where I think the location in my fourth picture is very good. The price is also reasonable, and most importantly, the scenery is truly amazing! 3. You can rent a Yao or Miao costume for 30 yuan to take photos 4. There are performances every day at 10:00, 11:00, 14:20, and 16:00. On Friday and Saturday nights starting at 7:00, there is a bonfire party, which I think is just average. 5. Sunrise is the most beautiful moment here, don't miss it😭. It's truly stunning! 6. After entering the scenic area, you still have to climb a slope for 5-10 minutes, so bring as few unnecessary items as possible!

Long residing in the city, I find myself yearning for the ancient villages deep in the mountains every weekend, to clear my mind.

Overall, although the Thousand-Year Yao Village has a slightly more commercial atmosphere, it boasts beautiful scenery. Climbing up the long stairs, one can gaze at the continuous mountain peaks, and the accommodation facilities are quite comprehensive. Youling Yao Village, on the other hand, is more pristine, with bonfire parties in the evening that offer a sense of tranquility as if cut off from the world. The Thousand-Year Yao Village mainly consists of one main street, which can be explored in about 30 minutes on foot. While the playability is limited, the atmosphere is relaxed and very suitable for easing one's mood, not the kind of place for a rushed visit. The address is in Qingyuan, Guangzhou, with ticket prices around 100 yuan. It is recommended to drive there for convenience.
