In late autumn, Shaoguan quietly puts on its golden attire, opening a romantic feast woven by ginkgo. As the temperature gradually cools, the originally verdant ginkgo leaves slowly transform under the carving of time. The ginkgo trees are like golden torches lit up, and the leaves shine in the sun. As the breeze blows, thousands of golden leaves sway and fall, covering the ground with a soft velvet carpet. Walking in the ginkgo forest, there is a rustling sound under your feet, and you can see the sunlight penetrating the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows when you look up. The ancient ginkgo, the quaint villages, and the winding paths complement each other, outlining a peaceful and peaceful pastoral painting.

There aren't many people early in the morning, and it's foggy. It gets busier once the fog clears. It's a great choice for families to visit, relax, or camp. You can drive or take public transport; there are many options. It's a seasonal attraction, so choose your time carefully.

Looking for a less-traveled destination with historical significance and hiking opportunities this weekend? The Meiguan Ancient Road in Dayu, Jiangxi is highly recommended! This ancient post road has been around for a thousand years, and after completing the hike, you can enjoy panoramic views of the county town from the mountaintop.

With relatively low foot traffic, newly built internal alleyways, and significant business loss, the interior environment is quite quiet and refreshing when there are few people; it can be considered a park with a lake. A complete walk around it takes less than an hour.

We had a fantastic day at Chimelong Safari Park! The park is beautiful, with amazing scenery and a huge variety of animals. It's enormous, so I strongly recommend arriving early to have enough time to explore everything without rushing.We expected to see more giant pandas, but there were only two, although they were incredibly cute! We also hoped to see red pandas, which were listed as being at the park, but unfortunately, there were none.The animal show was excellent and entertaining, even though it was entirely in Chinese. We also hired a wonderful guide who was friendly, helpful and made a real effort to ensure we enjoyed our visit. We appreciated her efforts so much that we gave her an extra tip, even though she initially refused it.Overall, a great experience and well worth visiting in Guangzhou. Just arrive early and check which animals are available to see before your visit!

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!
