Off-the-beaten-path escape | Huangma Village, a 1-hour drive to a spiritual haven

I think,
Life needs a window,
To close and shut out the noise,
To open and let in the greenery 🍃

I never thought that, after a 1-hour drive from downtown Guangzhou, I would find such an off-the-beaten-path route in Huangma Village.
Hiking, stream tracing, visiting exhibitions, feeding sheep 🐑
A simple half-day escape is simply my spiritual haven.

⛰️Hiking and oxygen route: Changling Village
In summer, bamboo forest stream tracing is a paradise for many outdoor enthusiasts.
In late autumn, walk up the Huangpu Changling National Mountaineering Fitness Trail, and you will find yourself in a quiet forest 🎋 with a clear blue sky above and fresh air to breathe, with only birds to accompany you 🐦

🦁️Intangible cultural heritage route: Changling Lion Dance Museum
The drum beats, the lion awakens; the footsteps fall, the auspiciousness arrives.
As a descendant of South Guangdong, how can you not understand the lion dance?
The Changling Lion Dance Museum along the trail not only introduces the culture of the lion dance, but also has small lion heads for you to take photos with 📷

🎨Artistic route: FullHills Art Farm
The window view I long for is found here 🏞
The stylish detached house in the garden is like a cottage in a southern French estate.
The second floor is currently exhibiting a poetry exhibition, which is full of artistic atmosphere;
There are a few cute little sheep in the backyard to play with you.
Holding a small piece of grass, watching the sheep chase you, is a delight 🐑

🚗Travel advice: Self-drive
There is still some of the simplicity and nature of a "paradise" here,
Driving to play and eat will be more convenient.
There are parking lots 🅿️ near the farm, around the stream, outside the campsite, or next to the museum.

Go out more and feel the free wind.
