| Homestay Stay in a ginkgo forest and enjoy autumn. ✨The homestay "Xinglin Mountain House" is located in the Maozifeng Tourist Scenic Area and was transformed from the original farm reception. The pure log design, you will smell the faint wood fragrance when you enter the door. The single-family villa has a private hot spring♨️ I personally prefer the P7 river view room as if I am living in the mountains and forests ✨The homestay has a self-service breakfast, about 200 meters to the restaurant in the scenic area ✨I heard that in mid-to-late November Ginkgo will be the best viewing period for the golden avenue in autumn, do you agree?

Built from BCE218, Mei Pass was one of the strategic route for trading and migration between Central China and Guangdong for 2 millennia. Nowadays, the pass has become one of the cultural relics of Southern China. #awesomepic#nationalpark

I've stayed here before during my trip to Maofeng Mountain, and the experience remains just as delightful. The hotel is conveniently close to various commercial areas, with free parking (P), so no need to worry about parking difficulties. Electric vehicle owners can also rest easy, as I noticed the hotel now has charging stations. Staying here makes self-driving trips to Maofeng Mountain and Zhuji Ancient Alley very convenient. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. After an evening stroll, returning to the hotel feels like a treat—the bathroom has a dry-wet separation design, the shower gel smells lovely, and the bedding is soft and cozy, lulling you to sleep in no time. There’s even a laundry room, making it a very well-rounded stay. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise—the hotel offers a buffet with a wide variety of options, a clean dining area, and even freshly ground soy milk and small cakes. The front desk staff were attentive, offering a cup of herbal tea upon arrival and recommending Nanxiong’s local delicacies and attractions. This hotel is perfect for family trips. Qianmei is a chain hotel in Nanxiong, ensuring a safe stay. There’s also a Qianmei Resort Hotel with a similar style, both offering great value for money. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Nanxiong.

Five scenic and less crowded spots perfect for family trips, relaxation, and food adventures—save this list and explore at your own pace～ Shixing County: A Hakka secret hidden in the forest In the early morning, go to Chebaling to listen to birdsong; you can step right into the streams in the primeval forest. Kids chase butterflies while adults spread a cloth under the trees for a picnic, with the air filled with the scent of grass and wood. In the afternoon, visit Mantang Hakka Walled Village, let the elders tell stories about the walled houses, and watch children curiously ask about the carved decorations on the walls.

Marshal Chen Yi's "Three Chapters of Meiling" adds to its revolutionary significance. The natural scenery here is equally captivating. In winter, plum blossoms bloom, covering the mountains like pink clouds. When the wind blows, the petals fall, creating a poetic scene reminiscent of the verse, "Though crushed and turned to dust, their fragrance lingers still." In summer, the lush trees🌳 offer a cool respite from the heat. In autumn, the maple leaves turn fiery red🍁, painting the forest in vibrant hues. Every season offers a unique spectacle, each step a picturesque scene. 📍Address: Meiling Village, Zhuji Town, Nanxiong City, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province ⏱️Opening hours: 08:30 - 17:30 🎫Tickets: Tickets are 38 CNY per person.

| A poetic retreat for the soul. ✨ In Shaoguan, I stumbled upon Jixin Xiaoyuan, a place like a paradise on earth. 🌳 As soon as you step into the courtyard, you can feel the tranquility and peace. The courtyard is shaded by green trees and filled with blooming flowers, and the stone tables and stools in the corners seem to tell the story of time. 🛏 The rooms are exquisitely and warmly decorated, with every detail showing the owner's care. The wooden furniture emits a faint fragrance, and the soft beds ensure a good night's sleep. Here, you wake up to the sound of birds in the morning, and when you open the window, you are greeted by a sea of green; in the afternoon, you can relax in the courtyard's rocking chair, basking in the sun and enjoying a cup of tea; at night, you can gaze at the stars and feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. Whether you are spending a romantic time with your loved one, enjoying a happy gathering with your family, or seeking inner peace alone, Jixin Xiaoyuan is the perfect choice.

#2024Travel Review Before the winter solstice, I joined a tour group from Shenzhen to visit the Maozifeng Tourist Scenic Area in Nanxiong, Shaoguan, to enjoy the ginkgo forest in late autumn in Lingnan. Take the sightseeing shuttle at the entrance of the scenic spot and go directly to the Golden Avenue. What comes into view is the golden trees and golden armor everywhere. In this scene, men, women, old and young, are not stingy with beautiful poses, some pick up a bunch of apricot leaves and throw them wantonly; some squat on the ground and concentrate on picking apricot leaves; some hold a transparent umbrella and leave a graceful figure... It turns out that the scenic spot held a hiking activity to appreciate the autumn this year, with a total length of 6.8 kilometers. I wonder if there will be similar activities next year. Pay close attention and don't miss it. #A good place to enjoy autumn #Beautiful Ginkgo Trees #Guangdong Tours

🧢Nanxiong Maozifeng Tourist Scenic Area is one of the most famous ginkgo viewing spots👭, especially the Xiaofangping area. Due to the open terrain and abundant sunshine, the ginkgo leaves turn yellow the earliest. The ginkgo trees on both sides of the Golden Avenue gradually turned golden yellow, and many tourists camped and picnicked here to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful time. In addition to Nanxiong Maozi Peak, Shaoguan also has other ginkgo viewing spots scattered throughout the villages. For example, Pingtian Ginkgo Town is also a good choice. Although it is not as well-known as Maozi Peak, it also has its own flavor🍲. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

I went to Maozi Peak at the end of November. Because it was Sunday, there were a lot of people. I waited for half an hour from the ticket office to the park bus stop. Taking photos away from the crowds requires skill and a little luck. The tour bus will stop at about four or five stations, and you can choose whether to get off. There are a lot of ginkgo trees, but they are not as golden as you might imagine. It would be more beautiful if you come in mid-December. 🕰️Business hours: 08:30-17:30, ticket sales stop at 17:00 🗓️Itinerary: Took a tourist bus for about two hours from Shaoguan. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: There are tourist buses and golf carts in the park, which run about every five minutes. There are also restaurants and shops selling various snacks.

| Pingtian, Nanxiong, Shaoguan. Toot toot toot~ Let's go At the end of November, the ginkgo trees in my hometown turned yellow. Although I am from Shaoguan and know that late November to early December is the season when ginkgo trees turn yellow, I have never experienced it before. This time, I took advantage of the holiday, packed my bags, and embarked on this limited-time autumn romance. There are many places to check in for ginkgo trees in Shaoguan, and we chose Pingtian Forest Park in Nanxiong (free admission). We didn't prepare much before departure because we were not sure whether the ginkgo trees would turn yellow on the day we went (November 23) >_< But the process of exploring an unknown romance is also a meaning of travel. We departed from Guangzhou, and it took only 50 minutes to reach Shaoguan Station by high-speed train. The destination is still a bit far away, and self-driving is the best choice. Fortunately, there are car rental places near the high-speed train station. Two hours later, we will arrive at Pingtian, Nanxiong, the hometown of ginkgo trees in China. This is actually a village, and many tourist information centers have been gradually established because of the ginkgo tree attraction. When we arrived, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was tight, so we couldn't visit all the attractions on the guide map. We asked a local uncle, and he said that we could go anywhere, as there were ginkgo trees all over the place. Then we changed our question: Uncle! Which place do people usually go to the most? Uncle: Niubei. Okay, let's go to the Niubei Ancient Ginkgo Group. There is a dedicated parking lot here, and no parking fee is required. The surrounding area is full of villagers selling local specialties, such as cured meat, cured sausage, cured duck, cured chicken, and various agricultural products, all at very affordable prices. It is definitely worth a visit to enjoy this romantic autumn scenery~

Located next to the Langqiao Bridge in the old city, the museum is close to the ruins of the South Gate of Nanyue and the Huilanmen Ruins Park, both of which have a rich history. The second floor of the museum has an exhibition on the revolutionary history of Nanyue, a county in the Central Soviet Area. At night, the modern-style Langqiao Bridge is beautifully lit up, complementing the surrounding high-rise buildings.

On November 25, I went to Nanxiong Maozifeng Scenic Area, which is a scenic area transformed from an old forest farm. The biggest highlight is to see the yellow ginkgo leaves in November and December every year. Due to the weather this year, the ginkgo leaves turned yellow relatively late. By November 25, some leaves had not yet turned yellow. Golden Avenue: A super popular internet-famous check-in point, with ginkgo trees and retro houses from the 1970s lined up on both sides of the road. Daxiaofangping: The ginkgo leaves turn yellow the earliest, and there are large dense ginkgo trees. Luqigu: Located in the deepest part of Maozifeng, there are squirrels and sika deer, as well as a camping base and a small ginkgo forest. Tickets: CNY 50 for the entrance ticket, CNY 30 for the sightseeing bus (round trip), with six or seven stops along the way, such as Xiaofangping, Dafangping, and Golden Avenue, where you can get on and off at any time. Transportation: Self-driving or chartered car, about one hour by car, about CNY 100 for online car-hailing, it is best to make an appointment with the driver to pick you up on the return trip, otherwise it is difficult to get a car in the scenic area. There are buses from Nanxiong Bus Station to the town, and you have to change to another car to get to the scenic area.
