A hidden pastoral paradise in Kaiping! Free rice paddy and lake views, 1-hour direct from Xinxing

1-hour direct from Xinxing! Free autumn trip to Datangmian Village, Kaiping. The rice paddies, lakes, and mountains are so healing. If you're looking for a quiet pastoral paradise for the weekend, why not drive from Xinxing to Datangmian Village in Kaiping? It's about a 1-hour drive, with free admission and free parking, making for a stress-free short trip. It overlooks Peacock Lake, with vast rice paddies stretching along the lake. As the autumn breeze blows, waves of rice ripple, blending the lake scenery with the countryside—the vibe is incredible. We recommend coming between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM when the light is soft and warm. Photos look great straight from the camera, and light-colored outfits complement the rice paddies and lake, making for perfect photos. Take a slow, relaxing walk along the lakeside trail. No need to rush; a leisurely 1.5–2 hours is just right. The lakeside is lush with vegetation and can have many mosquitoes, so remember to bring mosquito repellent and a sun hat. There aren't many shops in the village, so it's recommended to bring your own drinking water and snacks. With no crowds, just rice paddies, a gentle breeze, and the lake, it's the perfect place to invite family and friends to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the relaxing autumn countryside of Lingnan. 📍Navigation: Datangmian Village, Kaiping

A slow weekend in Enping | This hotel is perfect for a relaxing family getaway — traveler post in Enping

A slow weekend in Enping | This hotel is perfect for a relaxing family getaway

Our stay was wonderful. I booked this room because I fell in love with the view of Aofeng Mountain at first sight. In the morning, I could see the mountains as soon as I opened the curtains, and on sunny days, there was even a light mist over the hills. My child leaned against the windowsill, looking at the distant mountains, pretending the tower on the peak was a building block, and excitedly counting the houses on the hillside. · The suite has separate living and sleeping areas. The bedroom is quiet and perfect for resting, while the outer living room has a sofa and coffee table. In the evening, we ordered fruit from room service, and my child enjoyed it while watching TV, allowing us adults to relax as well. The room features Xiaodu voice control for lights and curtains, which my child loved, racing to give commands to open and close them. The smart toilet seat is heated and has a soft night light, which is gentle on the eyes during late-night trips—a very thoughtful touch when traveling with kids. · Parking at the hotel is very convenient, with a multi-level garage right next door, so there is no need to worry about the car being exposed to the sun or rain. The breakfast beef brisket noodles and various steamed dim sum were delicious, rivaling local specialty shops. The hot soy milk paired with custard buns was a hit with my child. The fifth-floor sky pool was perfect for an evening swim. The water temperature was just right. With a swim ring on, we could enjoy the water while looking out at the mountain view, then wrap up in towels and rest on the lounge chairs when tired. The Chinese restaurant downstairs offers great value, and the dishes were very kid-friendly. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and highly recommended. · We planned a slow-paced two-day itinerary. On the first day, we visited Aofeng Mountain, which is within walking distance of the hotel. We strolled up the mountain path, and from the observation deck halfway up, we could overlook the old town of Enping, with layers of houses spread out below. The mountain breeze chased away the heat, and my child chased birds on the deck. There is also the Feng Ru Memorial Hall on the mountain, where my child kept asking questions about the vintage airplane exhibits. On the way down, we stopped by the Enping Museum. It is not large, but it displays old overseas Chinese artifacts and exhibits on the theme of hot springs. My little one was fascinated by an old sewing machine, repeatedly playing with the pedal, full of curiosity. · On the second day, we took a walk along the river at Jinjiang Park. The waterfront platforms and boardwalks offer wide views, and the river breeze was refreshing. There were many people fishing along the river, and my child leaned against the railing, intently watching the fishing floats. In the evening, we strolled through Zhongshan Park. The stone bridges and pavilions on the lake looked especially beautiful under the lights. It is a great spot for all ages, and my child even danced along to the rhythm of the square dancing music. For food, I recommend the nearby Caiji Old Brand Laifen. The beef brisket laifen had a rich broth and generous portions, and my child even finished the soup. · Staying at the Enping Jinquan Yujing Hotel made for a slow, relaxing two days. Both the elderly and the children felt comfortable and at ease. This weekend trip to Enping was well worth it. ·

Action-packed hot springs! Surfing, rafting + 77 soaking pools, your happy winter getaway — traveler post in Enping

Action-packed hot springs! Surfing, rafting + 77 soaking pools, your happy winter getaway

📍Address: No. 78 Enchun East Road, Datian Town, Enping City, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province (by the Jinjiang River, backed by the Qixingkeng Primitive Forest) ⏰Hours: Year-round 8:00 AM–midnight 🎫Tickets: Adult online booking from CNY 110 (walk-in price CNY 148); child ticket (1.2m–1.5m) CNY 80/person, children under 1.2m free 🌊Why is it called the "pioneer of active hot springs in China"? Jinjiang Hot Spring is a national 4A-rated scenic spot and the first in China to feature "active hot springs" as its theme. It completely breaks the stereotype that "hot springs = sitting quietly." It features the country's first large-scale hot spring surfing, a 380m circular hot spring rafting course, and ultrasonic massage fountains, bringing the fun of a water park directly into the hot springs. Even more impressive is the water quality: it contains metasilicic acid, fluorine, and radon, all meeting national standards. Experts call it a rare "triple-threat" hot spring with medical value comparable to Japan's Misasa radon springs. You'll leave with smooth skin—it's a true wellness-grade hot spring. 🔥Top 4 must-dos | You'll regret missing any of these! 1️⃣ Hot spring wave pool—1.5m waves, the center of excitement in the park🌊 The absolute highlight! No need to go to the beach; experience 1.5m-high waves crashing over you right in the hot spring. It's thrilling when the waves are on, and you can splash around quietly when they stop. Both adults and kids will have a blast. 2️⃣ 380m circular hot spring rafting—lie back and watch the forest, so relaxing you won't want to get out🛶 Hop on a raft and drift along the 380m circular waterway. Pass through gardens and forest landscapes with sunlight filtering through the leaves—this is what a vacation should feel like. 3️⃣ 77 themed soaking pools—from active to wellness, you'll have trouble choosing🛁 The park has 77 soaking pools of various sizes. Beyond the active area, there are traditional Chinese medicine wellness pools, milk pools, angelica pools, ginger pools, and hot/cold waterfall pools—alternating hot and cold water on your shoulders and neck for a stress-relieving "ice and fire" experience. There are also private couple's pools and senior-friendly pools, so the whole family can enjoy their own space without getting in each other's way. 4️⃣ Family water park—a godsend for parents with kids👨‍👩‍👧 The children's water park features mini slides, water basketball, and small water guns, keeping kids entertained with water fights all afternoon. There are free daily movie screenings, and kids get balloon animals upon arrival—the perfect family-friendly touches. 🗺️Practical guide | Follow this to avoid pitfalls! 🚗Transportation (from Guangzhou) Driving (recommended): About 2–2.5 hours via highway. Navigate to "Enping Jinjiang Hot Spring Resort." The park has ample parking and EV charging stations. High-speed rail: Take it to Enping Station, then take a taxi for about 30–35 minutes to reach the resort. 🏨Accommodation tips Family-themed rooms: Include children's beds, some have private soaking tubs, and you're right next to the hot spring area with unlimited access and breakfast included. Value packages: Common "CNY 399 for 2 adults and 2 children" packages include 1 night in a standard double room, breakfast, unlimited hot spring access, and the water park—great value for families. For groups: Seven-bedroom villas with private hot spring pools and garages are perfect for families traveling together. ⚠️Tips & warnings | Hard-earned advice, follow it! ✅ Tickets include the 77 soaking pools, surfing area, rafting area, and children's water park. Fish therapy and swim ring rentals cost extra, so keep that in mind. ✅ Children should not soak for more than 15 minutes at a time; take breaks on land. Some pools reach nearly 70°C, so keep a close eye on your kids. ✅ Book at least 2 weeks in advance during peak season (December–February), as rooms sell out fast. ✅ Bring your own swimsuit; on-site options are limited and pricey. ✅ Visit the active areas (surfing, rafting) in the afternoon. Soak in the wellness pools in the morning to avoid crowds. ✅ Bring a power bank! You'll take endless photos of the surfing, rafting, and garden pools🔋. ✅ Go to the old town for authentic Enping snacks. Dining inside the resort is a bit pricey. Try the rice noodles (laifen), eel rice, and acanthopanax crucian carp soup—the local soul food. ✅ You can combine this with a visit to Xiema Scholar Village and Stone Village for a perfect hot spring + ancient village day trip. 💫Final thoughts | The most "restless" hot spring in Guangdong—a vacation is only real when you're active The beauty of Jinjiang Hot Spring lies in the thrill of being hit by 1.5m waves; the relaxation of drifting along a 380m waterway on a raft while looking up at the lush forest; and the healing feeling of soaking in a "triple-threat" radon spring that leaves your skin silky smooth. The first active hot spring in the country, 77 soaking pools, and just 2 hours from Guangzhou—come to Enping, dedicate a whole day to Jinjiang Hot Spring, and enjoy both soaking and water fun in one trip♨️💛 Autumn and winter are the perfect times for soaking, but it's great all year round.

3 kid-friendly cities accessible by high-speed rail—the kids won't want to leave

Parents! What's the scariest part about traveling with kids? The hassle on the road, the kids getting bored, or not finding fun places to go! Jiangmen, Shaoguan, and Baoding are all accessible by high-speed rail, and they have so many kid-friendly activities you'll be spoiled for choice. The kids won't want to go home! Jiangmen, Guangdong | The country's first bitter melon-themed park, kids will scream with joy Jiangmen is a seriously underrated treasure for traveling with kids! The country's first bitter melon-themed park, "Bitter Melon Tribe," just opened for a trial run in Duru Town, Pengjiang District. It covers 17,000 square meters and features over 20 non-motorized amusement facilities, including a bitter melon-shaped castle, a melon vine slide, unique treehouses, and a "bouncing cloud." Seven themed zones integrate bitter melon farming culture into the play area—kids will feel like they've stepped into a fairy tale. Must-play: Beiyuan Park, formerly the Xinhui Zoo, has been renovated into a free botanical park. The 5,200-square-meter children's play area on the east side is a sunken park designed around the original monkey mountain's elevation difference. It features an ancient ship symbolizing the Maritime Silk Road, an ocean tunnel, excavators, windsurfing equipment, and more, all with super-safe soft flooring. Donghu Park is one of the eight scenic spots in Jiangmen and is free to enter. It has over 30 amusement facilities like a carousel and Ferris wheel, plus musical fountains and waterfalls—kids won't get bored even after a full day. Must-eat: Gujing roast goose is bright in color and delicious, Enping cakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and chicken dung vine cakes are fragrant and chewy—all authentic Jiangmen flavors that kids will enjoy too. Travel tips: From Wenzhou, you need to transfer at Guangzhou South. The whole trip takes about 11 hours, so we recommend breaking up the trip or taking an overnight sleeper train. Shaoguan | Forest animal slides + free science museum, learning through play Shaoguan's kid-friendly setup is truly underrated! The children's area at Furong Mountain Sports Park just opened. It's themed around forest animals and features three large animal-themed slides and a huge sand pit. Covering about 3,000 square meters, kids won't want to leave once they see the slides. The park also has a water play area, climbing area, and plant experience area, with free parking available. Free science treasures: The "Nature Home" at Renhua Chengnan Forest Park is free to enter. It includes 8 exhibition halls, and the nature science classroom can accommodate 60 students. They've added hundreds of plant seeds, insect specimens, and over 500 books for teenagers. The guides are friendly and patient—it's a meaningful way to help kids learn about nature. Zhongshan Park is also free and has a children's activity area, over 20 ancient trees, and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to visit along the way. Must-eat: Beef brisket skewers are a Lechang specialty—meatballs, brisket, and tendon skewered together, drizzled with a secret sauce. They're full of flavor, affordable, and were named one of the top 10 "Shaozhou Hakka" dishes in 2023. Snail soup with pickled bamboo shoots is tangy and appetizing, and pickled radishes are crunchy and delicious—flavors Shaoguan locals grow up eating. Travel tips: From Wenzhou, you need to transfer at Hengyang East or Shenzhen North. The whole trip takes about 8–9 hours, so we recommend planning your transfers in advance. Baoding | Cloud Park + artificial beach, fun for all ages Huanghuagou Park in Baoding is truly the ceiling of kid-friendly parks! The East Park has the largest skateboard bowl pool complex in North China, which looks like a blooming lotus from above. The West Park introduced a water system to create Baoding's first artificial beach and a stepped ecological water surface. The Cloud Children's Theme Park has colorful slides, swings, and sand pits, while the aquatic science camp lets kids unlock the mysteries of water ecology through interaction. Parks everywhere: Xianghe Park has all kinds of colorful amusement facilities scattered throughout—kids can climb, slide, and jump to their hearts' content. Qingyuan Park is free all year round and features children's activity areas, an artificial lake, and musical fountains—it's a "city lung" level family space. Baoding Botanical Garden is free to enter and offers lawn picnics, lakeside walks, and children's play areas—perfect for a healing family trip. Must-eat: Donkey meat burger is the soul of Baoding! The freshly baked bun is golden and crispy, stuffed with braised donkey meat that's neither greasy nor dry—it's delicious. Paired with a bowl of hot soup and pickles, it's the most comforting breakfast for locals. Travel tips: From Wenzhou, you need to transfer in Beijing or Changsha. The whole trip takes about 11 hours, so we recommend a high-speed rail + transfer combination. Tips for traveling with kids Take it slow: Plan only 1–2 core activities per day and return to the hotel for a nap at noon—the kids' energy is more important than anything else. Prioritize free: There are endless free parks and science museums in these three cities—you can have a blast without spending a dime on tickets. Transportation choices: Jiangmen and Baoding are further away, so we recommend breaking up the trip or taking an overnight sleeper train. Transfers in Shaoguan are relatively convenient.

Jinjiang Hot Spring

The whole family went there to play. I've been there several times. The weather is getting cold, so I took my family there. It's a good place for health preservation and family gatherings. You can also sit down and chat face to face and talk! It's really good, I will go again next time!

Chikan Guangdong Overseas Chinese International Tourism Resort

I've discovered a really fun place: Chikan in Kaiping. It's a place where you can find peace and quiet, perfect for a family vacation. You can catch a show, stroll through the century-old arcade buildings, or simply stop to listen to music and have a few drinks.

Kaiping Diaolou

There are four watchtower clusters in total. It would take a whole day to explore them all thoroughly. Each watchtower is quite beautiful, like a high-end detached villa. I imagine it would be very comfortable to live there now.

Huahai Happy World

I took my kids there on Sunday. Because we chose the wrong route, we had to go through many twists and turns. The kids looked pale from the ride, but the moment we entered the park, we felt that it was worth it because the animals inside were cute, and there were a few motor vehicles that the kids had fun playing with. Unfortunately, the facilities inside were old, and the roses we planted had all withered, so there was nothing to take pictures of except the animals. But the kids were happy, so it was worth it.

Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom

We spent a whole day at Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, and the venue was bigger than I expected. The sea lion theater was the first surprise. It wasn't just about the animals performing actions; it was a small theater built with colorful cartoon boats and a castle. Trainers in red uniforms guided the animals from the poolside, and the sea lions came up from the water to interact with the audience, with explanations interspersed throughout. The kids were completely engrossed. We spent the most time at the penguin exhibit. Looking through a whole glass wall, the water surface featured simulated ice and snow rock formations, and the penguins swam incredibly fast underwater, weaving in and out of the glass. We could see their black backs and white bellies as they flipped over, just like in documentaries. There were also informational panels inside explaining the penguins' habitats and habits. The underwater viewing window in the large display tank was also stunning. The water was a vibrant turquoise, and looking up, you could see the ripples reflecting the light. The curved frame encircled the area, and standing in front of it, you felt a sense of quietude. The other fish tanks were well-lit, and the schools of fish swimming by created silhouettes. There are also outdoor exhibits for tortoises and giant tortoises. A large one lies on the grass, its shell's markings as clear as tree rings, next to old tree roots—it feels more vibrant than if you were looking through glass. A day's worth of activity is just right, and the indoor exhibits offer plenty of shade. It's recommended to check the schedule at the theater first to make sure you know your showtimes. Allow ample time for the penguin exhibit and the underwater display; don't rush.

Chimelong Safari Park

É legal ver os animais e parece ter uma preocupação ambiental ja que tem bastante palestras sobre isto. O mais interessante é que os animais eram bem ativos diferente de maioria dos zoológicos que eu fui. Por uma taxa voce pode alimentar os animais no horario correto

Diaolou cluster in Zili Village

This place is highly recommended! It is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gunangdon Province of China. The historic building complex is intriguing, and it is embedded in the deep history of Chinese working overseas during the time of civil unrest and invasion by western powers and by Japan. Those Chinese workers brought back money for their family members in China, to build all these buildings. It is a worthwhile visit to see the buildings and the history behind!
