This place is really amazing, here’s the travel guide!

Transportation: Self-driving recommended 🚗
Itinerary👇
Shanshui Shuanghe Scenic Area 👉 Lihua Valley Scenic Area 👉 Banshan Yunju Hotel 👉 Ma’an Bamboo Sea

🟢 At Shanshui Shuanghe Scenic Area, the "Shuanghe Bridge" spanning both banks is gently embraced by dense greenery. Below the bridge flows clear water, each frame seems to hold endless stories. Wearing a Hanfu here, every shot you take is a cinematic masterpiece. Be sure to stay until nightfall, the night view transforms into a stunning scene that leaves you speechless.

🟢 At Lihua Valley Scenic Area, the "Lihua Valley Waterfall" is an absolute must-see. With its abundant water flow, standing beside it you can feel its majestic power. The rushing water splashes wildly, and even the surrounding breeze carries a refreshing coolness, enveloping you in this breathtaking experience.

🟢 Ma’an Bamboo Sea is a different world, with tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest spreading out spectacularly. Sunlight filters through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. Walking through it, you feel completely refreshed—an excellent place to escape the summer heat. When night falls, the bamboo sea lights up with twinkling lights, and there are exciting performances at the Green Forest Plaza. After the show, soak in the mountain hot springs to wash away all fatigue. 👍 Don’t forget to try the bamboo tube rice here; the savory cured pork mixed with the fresh bamboo aroma makes every bite unforgettable.

🏠 We stayed at the Banshan Yunju Hotel in Xinyi.
The infinity pool in the sky faces the bamboo sea, swimming there feels like floating above the bamboo forest, and every photo is a masterpiece. 💜 In the morning, when you open the curtains, the sea of clouds on the bamboo tips comes right into view. It’s just a 10-minute walk to Ma’an Bamboo Sea, so staying here means you can head straight there the next day! The rooms are comfortable, the bedding is cozy, and the service is thoughtful, making for a very reassuring stay.

Maoming, this underrated city, excels in mountains, water, bamboo sea, and food. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway. Quickly grab a few friends and come have fun here this weekend~
