After three days in Longmen, my spending habits were completely shattered!

🌿🌞🏯💦🍜 Girls! Just returned from Longmen in Guangdong and immediately had to share this June summer escape guide! This hidden "Hot Spring Kingdom" in northern Huizhou is absolutely amazing—90%+ forest coverage with healing greenery everywhere, plus you can soak in radon-fluorine hot springs under the stars! Just a 2-hour drive from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, perfect for a spontaneous weekend getaway~

【3-Day 2-Night Itinerary】
✨DAY1: Hot Spring Therapy Day
☀️Morning: Head straight to Wyndham Hot Spring Hotel in Nankun Mountain🏨 (the largest in the area!)
👉🏻Must-do: 81 functional hot spring pools to choose from! The rooftop infinity pool is my favorite—soaking while gazing at the sea of clouds is Instagram gold~ (The hotel offers DIY lacquer fans and fireworks during Dragon Boat Festival🎆)
🍜Noon: Feast at the hotel buffet! Must-try: Hakka stuffed tofu, so flavorful it’ll make your taste buds dance💃
🌙Night: Dash to Dipai Hot Spring’s viral infinity pool! The lights make the water sparkle like diamonds—don’t forget a waterproof phone case📸

✨DAY2: Nature + Ancient Town Adventure
☀️Morning: Deer Eagle Park Family Fun Zone🎠
👉🏻Activities: Feed sika deer + rainbow slide + lake fountain show, with free balloons at 4 PM!
🍜Noon: Rush to Longmen Ancient Town for "Sun Quan gluten balls"🍢! Crispy outside, chewy inside, with juicy meat filling—absolute perfection!
🌙Night: Free night stroll by Inkstone Pond🌌! Ancient houses reflected under moonlight look like CGI—dress in Hanfu for god-tier photos!

✨DAY3: Culture + Foodie Day
☀️Morning: Visit Sun Clan Ancestral Hall for intricate wood carvings🛕 (included in town ticket). The dragon-phoenix designs are so detailed they look AI-made...
🍜Noon: Must-try Longmen rice wine + beef claypot🍶! The wine tastes like liquid mochi, and the beef melts in your mouth!
🌙Night: Grab some ai ci (mugwort cakes) as souvenirs—so sticky you can pull strings~

【Foodie Radar】
🍡Longmen gluten balls: Deep-fried carb bombs! Juicy meat bursts out—so good neighbors will peek over
🍶Longmen rice wine: 3% ABV sweet buzz! Chilled like milk tea (but sneaky strong)
🐂Longmen beef: Claypot-braised brisket so tender it falls apart—pair with rice for 3 bowls

🍯Rice crackers: Heritage snack! Addictively crispy—buy 10 bags for binge-watching

【Budget Breakdown】
Hot spring hotels ~¥500+/night (with meals + unlimited soaks), ancient town ticket ¥60 (but free via Yangqiaotou alley), gluten balls ¥5/each (filling!), rice wine ¥20/jin, Didi > buses~

💖Final thoughts: Longmen days = "soak-eat-photo" loop. Skin glows, bellies round... Now I’m haunted by steamy springs and fried gluten aromas—girls, go now! (Psst: Off-peak visits rule🎒🌄🍃💕🚗)
