⛱️Must-Visit Attractions:

&bull; Zhuji Ancient Alley: A sacred place for Cantonese people to trace their roots. A thousand-year-old cobblestone path connects over a hundred ancestral halls, each brick and tile telling a story of migration south. No need to find the perfect angle; even in casual clothes, you can capture a retro atmosphere. You might stumble upon some intangible cultural heritage handicraft stalls and stop to try them out.

&bull; Daxiong Temple: A tranquil Zen temple hidden in the mountains. Tang and Song Dynasty style architecture paired with a courtyard filled with incense smoke. The temple is breathtakingly beautiful in autumn when the ginkgo leaves turn golden. Sitting in the Zen temple, listening to the bells and sipping tea, one&#39;s restless mind is instantly soothed, perfect for immersive relaxation and prayer.

&bull; Sanying Pagoda: A thousand-year-old brick pagoda from the Northern Song Dynasty, its hexagonal, nine-story design is simple yet grand. Climbing the pagoda offers panoramic views of the city. The dated bricks, glazed tiles, and ceramic Pixiu sculptures on the pagoda are all highlights, and it appears even more solemn and elegant when illuminated at night.

&bull; Nanxiong City South Gate: The oldest existing city gate tower, its granite foundation and blue brick walls bear the marks of time. The inscriptions on the stone plaque are still clearly legible; standing beneath the gate, one can almost touch the past of the ancient city.

&bull; Ancient City Wall: A brick and stone city wall from the Song and Ming Dynasties, some blue bricks are imprinted with inscriptions from various dynasties. The riverside section is scenic, perfect for a leisurely stroll, experiencing the tranquil blend of the ancient and modern.

&bull; Nanxiong Museum: A three-story exhibition hall showcasing the past and present of Nanxiong, with distinctive exhibits on the culture of top scholars and revolutionary history. The combination of digital media and artifact displays vividly presents local culture and revolutionary memories.

&bull; Guangzhou Guild Hall: A gem of ancient architecture comparable to a miniature Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, its three courtyards are exquisitely laid out. The carved beams and painted rafters showcase the craftsmanship of Lingnan, and the details reveal the cultural connection between old Guangzhou and Nanxiong.

🍜Food Guide:

&bull; Nanxiong Braised Goose: A local signature dish, the meat is firm and flavorful, with a rich and mellow sauce. It&#39;s a perfect accompaniment to rice, offering a savory and unique regional flavor.

&bull; Hakka Stuffed Tofu: The tofu is fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, with a juicy filling that absorbs the aroma of meat and seasonings. Each bite is a taste of home cooking.

&bull; Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: A classic dish that is rich yet not greasy. The preserved mustard greens soak up the meat juices, while the braised pork belly is soft, sweet, and savory, creating a delightful balance of salty and sweet flavors.


&bull; Pickled Bamboo Shoots: A specialty seasoning of Nanxiong, its tangy and appetizing flavor is perfect for stir-fries and soups. Its unique taste is addictive and is the soul of local cuisine.

&bull; Nanxiong Salted Duck: A provincial-level intangible cultural heritage delicacy, its meat is firm yet tender, with a perfectly balanced salty and savory flavor. It can be steamed or stir-fried with vegetables, becoming more fragrant with each bite.

&bull; Handmade Sweet Soups: The city&#39;s specialty sweet soup shops offer delightful surprises. With their elegant decor, they serve hearty desserts like taro balls, white fungus soup, and mung bean soup, all with a moderate sweetness. A bowl of these after a long day of sightseeing is incredibly comforting and perfect for taking photos.

🏨Accommodation Tips: Prioritize hotels in the city center or near Nanxiong Station for convenient transportation and easy access to various attractions. Hotels opened after 2024 are recommended as they tend to have newer facilities, higher levels of smart technology, and better value. Ideal accommodation should be within 2 kilometers of the train station, with convenient access to nearby restaurants and a substantial breakfast included. This saves commuting time and allows you to start your trip with energy, making it suitable for families, couples, and solo travelers.

💗Other Tips:

1. Zhuji Ancient Alley and Daxiong Temple are close together, so it&#39;s recommended to visit them on the same day. Explore the ancient alley in the morning to experience its cultural heritage, and then visit the temple in the afternoon for a more relaxed pace.

2. Compare prices for Zhuji Ancient Alley tickets on multiple platforms; buying in advance is more cost-effective. Parking in the scenic area is a flat fee of 10 yuan, and there are plenty of spaces available.

3. The Three Shadows Pagoda, Zhengnan Gate, and the ancient city wall are not far apart and can be visited on foot or by taxi, saving travel time.

4. Nanxiong cuisine is predominantly sour and spicy. Those who cannot handle spice should inform the restaurant in advance to reduce the spiciness. The pickled bamboo shoots have a unique flavor; for first-timers, it&#39;s recommended to try a small amount.

5. Autumn (October-November) is the best time to visit Nanxiong. The ginkgo trees at Daxiong Temple and the surrounding rural scenery are highly scenic and offer excellent photo opportunities.

6. Handmade souvenirs inside the scenic area (such as fans painted on-site) are meaningful keepsakes and can be purchased as needed to support local intangible cultural heritage.

7. It is recommended to allow ample time for the return trip. The journey from the city center to Nanxiong Station takes approximately 10 minutes. Avoid delays that may disrupt your itinerary. #GuangdongSurroundingTrips #GuangdongTravelGuide #GuangdongRoadTrip #NanxiongTourism #ShaoguanNanxiongHatPeakGinkgo

Very good farmhouse restaurant, authentic taste, good service attitude. Close to the entrance of the Hetuala Ancient City Scenic Area. Thank you very much to the chef of the restaurant. After dinner, it was dark and there were no street lights, and he offered to take us back to the B&amp;B. Full sense of security!
