Many travel guides for Jieyang recommended seeing the Yingge dance performance, so I specifically planned to go. The theater is quite a drive from the city center. It felt like the entire scenic area was set up for the Yingge dance performance; besides the theater, there wasn't much else to see. Arriving early, I had nothing to do but order a drink and wait. The area was deserted until it gradually started to get busier closer to the performance. Although the attendance wasn't high, the performance was still very entertaining; those interested should definitely check it out.

The best tourist attraction in winter, the scenery is also beautiful. The water is very clear, which should be the effect of regular cleaning of the pool. The large pool facilities are also relatively complete, such as underwater massage beds, massage chairs, etc. The important thing is that there are many Chinese medicine pools, milk pools, etc.

Nanxi Water Village is located at the junction of the great plains and the mountains. The terrain is not very undulating, and most of the area is flat farmland and some small hills. It belongs to the subtropical climate zone, with distinct four seasons, suitable temperatures, long summers and short winters, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. Nanxi Water Village has abundant water resources, and many streams and rivers flow through it, which brings irrigation resources to this land and enriches the ecological environment.

I didn't expect to see such a nice City God Temple here. It is clean and tidy. The colorful porcelain sculptures on the roof are so beautiful. There are many gods enshrined in the temple, and they look calm. There is an endless stream of devout believers coming here.

This is the urban center of Puning, which is very prosperous, integrating shopping, leisure, dining, and hotels. There are all kinds of delicious food. If you are tired of shopping, you can find a place to eat. The Vienna Hotel is also nearby, which is very suitable for urban lifestyle. The square is also very lively, with square dancing and children skating, and everyone is having fun.

First of all, the attractions in Jieyang are all very close together. You can probably see everything in a day. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is a must-see. Nearby are the City God Temple, Shuangfeng Temple, Jinxian Gate, the museum, etc. So you can use this as a starting point to begin your Jieyang trip. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is one of the three major Confucian temples in Guangdong, and it's closed on Mondays!

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!
