Weekend Getaway: Explore Intangible Cultural Heritage in Qingyuan

🏖 Summer vacation is here! Don’t let your kids stay home glued to their phones, and don’t stay cooped up in an air-conditioned room yourself. Highly recommend Qingyuan and Heyangheshe—a hidden gem tailor-made for summer! From farming, crafts, and adorable animals to stunning scenery, it’s a one-stop destination perfect for students and family trips.

🌾 Farming Experiences That Bring a Sense of Accomplishment!
✅ Rice Harvesting: Tried using a sickle to cut rice for the first time—clumsy but so much fun! Holding the heavy rice stalks in my hands made me truly understand the meaning of "every grain is hard-earned." Don’t worry if you’re a beginner; staff are there to guide you step by step!
✅ Peanut Picking: Pull back the green leaves to reveal clusters of peanuts 🥜. Pulling them out of the soil releases a fresh earthy aroma. We even washed and ate a few on the spot—so crisp and sweet! You can take home as many as you pick, which is super satisfying 💯.

🐾 Heart-Melting Animal Encounters!
The park is home to so many adorable animals! 🐑 Fluffy sheep gently lick your hand when you feed them grass—it’s ticklish and so much fun! 🦆 Little ducks waddle after you, quacking noisily. They even tilt their heads for the camera when you try to take pictures—too cute to handle! Spending time with these animals will melt all your worries away.

🎨 Irresistible Intangible Cultural Heritage Crafts!
✔️ Tie-Dye: Picked a piece of white cloth, tied it randomly, and ended up with a beautiful gradient blue pattern—like capturing the sky in fabric! Perfect for making scarves.
✔️ Pottery: From kneading clay and shaping to trimming, decorating, and firing, 💥 you can transform clay into exquisite items like bowls, cups, and teapots, experiencing the unique charm of traditional craftsmanship.
✔️ Paper Cutting: Couldn’t stop cutting red paper! The symmetrical cutting technique taught by the instructor is super easy, even for beginners, and you can create stunning window decorations.
✔️ Plant Dyeing: Choose your favorite plant leaves 🌿 and use heat transfer techniques to imprint their patterns and colors onto clothes, scarves, and more. Imagine how meaningful it is to carry a piece of nature with you!

📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots in the Park!
✅ Rice Field Path: Golden rice swaying in the breeze—stand in the middle of the path, and every shot is a pastoral masterpiece 📸. Light-colored outfits work best for photos.
✅ Animal Zone: Take heartwarming photos with sheep, bunnies 🐇, call ducks, and capybaras. Bring some snacks to get their attention for the perfect shot!
✅ Flower Path: Hidden along the park’s paths are patches of colorful flowers 🌱. Whether you crouch for close-ups or stand amidst the blooms for full-body shots, the results are stunning.

✨ Handy Tips:
Wear shoes that can get dirty—there’s mud in the rice fields!
Don’t forget sunscreen! The rural sun can be intense.
