At the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Conghua, Guangzhou, lies a summer retreat paradise!

🌟 Nanping Tranquil Town is located in Nanping Village, Conghua Hot Spring Town, backed by Phoenix Mountain. A clear Fengxi Creek flows through the village, surrounded by lush trees with a forest coverage rate of 97%, truly a "natural oxygen bar"! This area also produces lychees, longans, persimmons... so much fruit you can't finish them all!

🚗 Travel Tips: • Driving is the most convenient: navigate to "Nanping Tranquil Town Parking Lot," about 1.5 hours from downtown Guangzhou; • Parking is cheap: the scenic area parking lot charges only 10 yuan for 4 hours, and if you dine at a farmhouse restaurant, parking is free~

🌈 One-day tour recommendations: Parking lot → Olive Tree House (play in the water downstream) → Farmhouse lunch → Fengxi Boardwalk hike → Tongxin Bridge (panoramic view) → Lixia Tofu Pudding rest stop → Fruit picking

✨ Must-experience highlights: 1️⃣ Stream trekking and water play, cool off this summer! The creek water is crystal clear, with little fish swimming around~ Next to the Olive Tree House, there is a small waterfall and stepping stones on the water, perfect for photos like stepping into the Land of Oz! Plenty of shade, no sunburn at all.

2️⃣ Fengxi Boardwalk, hike and breathe fresh air! Walk slowly along the 2.8 km boardwalk with bluestone paths, vine fences, and waterside platforms, accompanied by the sound of spring water. Occasionally, you can see dragonflies and butterflies~ Recommended check-in spots: Twin Bridge Confluence, 350-year-old Longan King ancient tree, and Kapok Twin Ponds.

3️⃣ Enjoy the view from Tongxin Bridge! The bridge is adorned with many blessing locks. Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the entire valley~ It’s most beautiful in the early morning when there is mist! For a quieter experience, walk upstream where there are fewer people and clearer water.

4️⃣ Achieve fruit freedom! June to July is lychee season, with trees full of bright red lychees you can pick yourself (usually free if you eat at the farmhouse), or buy from villagers’ stalls for only 6 yuan per jin! Longans are also super cheap~ Other seasons offer wampee, persimmons, and green plums.

🍜 What delicious food to try? Must-try snacks: ✅ Lixia Tofu Pudding: chilled tofu pudding served in a wildflower bamboo basket, only 5 yuan per bowl, refreshing and cooling! ✅ Mountain spring fruits: freshly picked lychees and longans, villagers’ homemade salted plums and sweet potato chips are also great.

Recommended main meals: 🍲 Quanyou Farmhouse: bamboo tube steamed chicken and bamboo tube rice, with a smoky firewood aroma in every grain~ 🍗 Firewood Courtyard Farmhouse: signature roast chicken, crispy skin and tender meat, very filling for about 50 yuan per person!

🏡 Where to stay conveniently? Nanping Inn: courtyard style, open the window to lychee groves, just a 5-minute walk to the creek~ offers double, triple, and suite rooms.

⚠️ Reminders: Best time: June to August (water play + lychees), September to October (beautiful autumn maple leaves) Remember to bring: non-slip sandals, change of clothes, mosquito repellent, sun hat

💎 Hidden gems: The village has 5 scattered ancient pavilions, such as Zhuyun Pavilion and Jinshi Pavilion... all very Zen. Upstream of Fengxi Creek is a "Pig Cage into Water" strange tree, with roots shaped like a pig’s mouth, said to bring wealth!
