Stop crowding in Sanya, Nanhai is all you need!

🌊Nanhai, a place favored by God, boasts stunning seascapes no less beautiful than Sanya, yet at only half the price! If you also yearn for azure waters, blue skies, sunshine, and sandy beaches, hesitate no more—follow my footsteps and embark on this dreamy Nanhai adventure! 🗺 Itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Nanhai → Xiqiao Mountain Morning: Arrive in Nanhai and check into your hotel for a short rest. Afternoon: Head to Xiqiao Mountain, where rolling peaks and misty clouds create a scene known as the "Beacon of Pearl River Civilization." Climb to the Nanhai Guanyin Cultural Park to pray under the statue of Guanyin and experience inner peace. Stroll through the Square Bamboo Garden to admire the unique square bamboo and marvel at nature's wonders. Evening: Enjoy authentic farmhouse cuisine at a nearby rural restaurant—free-range chicken, mountain tofu, Xiqiao cakes... each dish is unforgettable. After dinner, explore the night market at Tingyin Lake Guanxin Town to soak up Nanhai's nightlife. Day 2: Guangdong Eternal Romance Scenic Area → Pingsha Island Morning: Visit the Guangdong Eternal Romance Scenic Area, a feast for the eyes and ears. Stroll through themed streets like Time-Travel Street and Folk-Custom Street—every step feels like a journey back in time. Don’t miss the grand performance "Guangdong Eternal Romance," which showcases the region's history and culture in a breathtaking artistic spectacle. Afternoon: Head to Pingsha Island, a riverside oasis brimming with pastoral charm. Cycle around the island on a hydrogen-powered bike or pick fresh fruit at an orchard to savor the joy of harvest. Evening: Dine on fresh river delicacies at Xijiang River Seafood Restaurant while enjoying the riverside view—pure bliss! Stay overnight at a Xiqiao hotel for a good rest. Day 3: Songtang Village → Nanhai Bay Forest Ecological Park Morning: Explore Songtang Village, Nanhai’s first ancient village rated as an A-level scenic spot, rich in history and culture. Ancient bridges, wells, trees, and architecture—each tells a story of time. Walking its cobblestone paths feels like hearing echoes of the past. Afternoon: Visit Nanhai Bay Forest Ecological Park, a natural oxygen bar with lush greenery and fresh air. Hike along the Xianhu Lakeside Trail to immerse yourself in nature and rejuvenate your mind and body. You can also pray for peace and health at Nanhai Bay. Evening: Conclude your delightful journey and return home. 🍜 Food Recommendations: - Xiqiao Cake: Shaped like a full moon, symbolizing harmony. Soft, sweet, and melts in your mouth—a must-try Nanhai specialty! - Roast Goose: Crispy skin, tender meat, rich but not greasy—one bite brings pure happiness! - Fish Sashimi: Fresh fish sliced thin, paired with seasonings—smooth texture and bursting with flavor. - Double-Skin Milk: Rich, creamy, and silky-smooth—a classic Cantonese dessert. 🏠 Accommodation Recommendations: - Xiqiao Mountain Homestays: Try Xinsu 24li·Xiqiao or Biyun Mountain Lodge, both nestled in the scenic area with beautiful surroundings and great amenities for a nature-filled stay. - Xiqiao Hotels: Hampton by Hilton, Dien Hotel, and Jinding Taifeng Hotel are excellent choices with convenient locations and top-notch service. 🚗 Transportation Guide: - External: Fly to Foshan Shadi Airport or take a high-speed train to Foshan West Station, then transfer by bus or taxi to Nanhai’s attractions. - Internal: Nanhai has a well-developed public transport system (buses/metro). Taxis or car rentals offer more flexibility. 💡 Travel Tips: 1. Nanhai summers are hot—pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats. 2. Choose fresh seafood to avoid foodborne illnesses. 3. Check ferry schedules for Pingsha Island to avoid delays.
