Introducing Nanping Fengxi

Nanping Village is located in the southeast of Wenquan Town, Conghua, Guangdong. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with excellent mountain and water resources, pleasant climate, quiet environment, and spring-like weather all year round. Nanping Fengxi is a stream that runs through the entire village.

Trace the stream to its source, accompanied by green forests and birdsong along the way, while enjoying the scenery of Fengxi, enjoy the freshness of negative ions between mountains and rivers, and reflect on your own heart.

In recent years, with the development of beautiful villages and characteristic towns, Nanping Village has gradually come into the public eye. This picturesque "Peach Blossom Spring" no longer relies solely on agriculture for its income, but is gradually expanding into tourism.
