| Top choice for Guangzhou weekend getaways. 😎 Looking for a cool escape from Guangzhou this weekend? Yingde in Qingyuan is a must-visit! With lush mountains and crystal-clear streams, it's the perfect summer retreat for water adventures. Save this guide! 📝
📍Top Water Fun Spots
🌟Yingde Yixiantian (One-Line Sky)
Also accessible via Shuanglongtan location 😉 (note: no direct car access). The scenery is breathtaking—if you're lucky, you might witness the "Tyndall effect," stepping into a world of light ✨ However, the trekking difficulty is high; beginners should avoid going alone and join experienced hikers.
👪Shuitou Dongtan Village / Zhouwu Tan Village in Yinghong Town
These two nearby villages allow direct car access 🚗. With easy stream trekking, they're ideal for family trips and even camping/BBQs 🍖. While most areas are shallow, some pools reach nearly 2 meters—parents, keep an eye on kids! 👀
👍Xinzouwu in Yingde Babao Village
Another car-accessible spot with low difficulty, perfect for beginners 👏. Turn left after spotting the green "Babao Village Committee Xinzouwu Cultural Center" sign to discover refreshing streams straight out of a painting 🥰.
🚗Transport Guide
Drive from Guangzhou via the Guang-Le Expressway (~2.5 hours) 🚗. Alternatively, take a high-speed train to Yingde West Station and taxi to water spots.
