A Serendipitous Encounter in Longmen's Landscapes

Nankun Mountain is truly a hidden gem for summer escapes!

Fed by mountain spring water, you can soak in the pool while admiring the lush bamboo groves 🌊 Even better, every room faces the stream—just open the window to hear the soothing sounds of flowing water, making for a truly healing night's sleep. ⛰️ Itinerary: **Day 1:** Morning | Arrive and enjoy the homestay's infinity pool Afternoon | Let the kids splash and catch fish in the shallow, super-safe stream right outside Evening | Stroll along the bamboo forest boardwalk and visit the viral suspension bridge Night | Rooftop BBQ + stargazing (the homestay provides grills) **Day 2:** Morning | Go creek trekking (a wild waterfall is just beside the homestay) Noon | Picnic in the bamboo forest (the homestay can prepare picnic baskets) Afternoon | Drive 10 minutes to Shihe Qiguang Scenic Area 📌 Pro Tips: 1. Bring water toys: water guns, fish nets, waterproof phone cases 2. Wear bright swimwear—it looks amazing in infinity pool photos! 3. The homestay rents camping gear, so no need to pack heavy 4. Don’t forget insect repellent—mountain mosquitoes are plentiful in summer 5. Driving times: ~2.5 hours from Guangzhou, 1 hour from Huizhou 🍴 Local Eats: ✅ Bamboo tube rice (a must-try! Made with fresh bamboo) ✅ Mountain stream snails (stir-fried with perilla for rich flavor) ✅ Don’t leave without some honey produced by the homestay—grab a couple jars!
