———✨4-Day Itinerary———
🌿 Morning Mist Disperses | Explore the Underground Galaxy
Wanxiang Cave Scenic Area
Stalactites formed over hundreds of millions of years create a galaxy in the darkness. Gently touch the cave walls and feel the whispers of ancient times. The interplay of light and shadow within the cave evokes a fantasy beyond the imagination of even "The Lost Tomb."
🍵 Dusk Gently Settles | Listen to the Rain in the Ancient Town
Bikou Ancient Town
Oil-paper umbrellas glide over the slate pavements, and the mist rising from old tea houses hides the Longnan rain. Choose a riverside guesthouse, fall asleep to the sound of the Bailong River, pick tea in the morning, and enjoy a pot of tea while listening to Pingtan storytelling in the evening.
⛰ Clouds Obscure the Heights | Where Mountains and Rivers Become Poetry
Guangegou
Take a sightseeing bus through 13 turquoise alpine lakes, where the Tibetan and Qiang watchtowers of Luren Village dance with waterfalls. At the foot of Leigu Snow Mountain, take a sip of the icy glacier meltwater, refreshingly sweet and cold.
Wenxian Tianchi National Forest Park
Drift across the mirror-like surface in the morning mist, and witness the autumn colors paint the mountains like an overturned palette. At the "Tianchi Renjia" halfway up the mountain, savor freshly picked morel mushrooms stewed with free-range chicken.
🌳 Hidden Trails | A Day as a Mountain Dweller
Yangba Natural Scenic Area
Walk through forests where tea plantations intertwine with palm trees, row a boat on Swan Lake, and listen to the tea-picking girls' folk songs as they startle egrets into flight. Spend the night in a wooden cabin in Meiyuan Valley, where fireflies illuminate the summer nights along the stream.
Huaqiao Village
In this village shaded by ancient trees, set up a tent and brew tea slowly. The stream chills the Longnan sweet fermented glutinous rice, the mountain breeze turns the pages of your book, and time pauses here.
———🍜 Culinary Delights ———
▫ Potato balls from the Jiezhou Night Market, chewy and glutinous, paired with pickled vegetable soup, are a culinary masterpiece.
▫ Handmade sweet osmanthus rice balls from Huangmiao Street, with a smooth sesame filling, evoke a taste of the past.
▫ The pickled vegetable and yellow catfish at Bikou Bailongjiang Fish Restaurant is incredibly delicious.
▫ During the Qingming Festival, you can pick leaves from the "immortal tree" to make emerald jelly.
———🚗 Travel Guide ———
❶ Longnan has many winding mountain roads. Joining a local tour is recommended.
❷ The rooftop of the "Yunshang Jinling" hotel in Wudu offers a panoramic view of the city lights. In Bikou, choose "Chayun Renjia" to listen to the rain and watch the river.
❸ The scenery is most beautiful in late autumn when the forests are ablaze with color. Bring waterproof shoes and gear during the rainy season. The misty landscapes have a unique charm.
