Finally found a hidden gem for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival without the crowds!
Dive into the rural depths of Qingyuan and Yangheshe, and become a leisurely "spiritual villager". Golden rice waves, autumn breezes, and the charm of rural life—everything you need is here. 🔥 Plus, there are tons of activities waiting for you to unlock during the holiday!
🚶 Why choose this place? The healing code of reverse travel
Compared to the hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots, Yangheshe offers the unique "slowness and leisure" of the countryside: no rushed itinerary, just the lazy pleasure of sipping coffee amidst rice fields in the afternoon; no forced commercialization, just the genuine warmth and freedom of village life. Here, you don’t need to follow a schedule—just go with the natural rhythm and rediscover your relaxed self.
🐑【Be a carefree "cloud and wild crane" during the day, so happy you won’t want to leave】
✅ Visit "Muji Island" to pet adorable animals! The capybaras are super gentle 🐷 and will slowly munch on the grass you feed them. Black-nosed sheep will nuzzle your hand 🐑, and waddling call ducks 🦆 make for perfect photo ops—pure therapeutic joy! 💖
✅ Pick fresh vegetables in the fields! Cherry tomatoes 🍅 and greens 🥬 are freshly harvested, and the experience is unbeatable. Bite into one and feel the juicy burst 😋.
✅ Try catching fish with your bare hands! Roll up your pants and step into the pond 💦, chasing fish with friends 🐟. You’ll end up soaked but laughing until your stomach hurts—instant childhood joy rediscovered! 🥳
🍕【Handmade food + wild music festival + starlit movie night, evenings are equally romantic】
✅ Make wood-fired pizza with friends in the afternoon! Knead the dough 🥞, add cheese 🧀 and toppings, and eagerly wait as it bakes in the kiln. When it’s done, the aroma is irresistible—you’ll want more than two slices! 😋
✅ Try making kiln-baked mooncakes! Wrap your own filling 🥮 and bake them yourself, creating a full Mid-Autumn ritual. They make meaningful gifts to take home 🎁.
✅ Watch starlit movies on the grass at night! Grab a small blanket 🧶, sip on chilled soda 🥤, and enjoy the autumn breeze 🍂. It feels like all your stress melts away 😌.
✅ Join the wild music festival 🎵! Dance, sway, and sing along to the music—just immerse yourself in the melodies and the autumn air.
📸【Other Instagram-worthy spots】
✅ Yangji Terrace: From here, you can see golden rice waves rolling under the blue sky and white clouds ☁. Every snapshot looks like a cinematic masterpiece.
✅ Rice fields: Thousands of acres of swaying rice waves, with sunlight filtering through the grains—purely atmospheric.
This double holiday, come to Qingyuan and Yangheshe to chase the wind in the rice fields, find warmth in handmade creations, and unlock the infinite beauty of a rural getaway filled with laughter 🌾.
