A Hidden Paradise in Guangdong That’s Seriously Underrated — Even Better Than Guilin!

#guangzhoutrip Looking to escape the crowds during the holidays? Skip the tourist-packed hotspots and head the opposite way to discover Yingxi Fenglin in Qingyuan, Guangdong — a peaceful retreat that rivals the beauty of Guilin! Famous for its karst landscapes, mystical caves, and mountaintop sea of clouds, Yingxi Fenglin is full of that ethereal Chinese landscape charm. It’s often nicknamed “Little Guilin of Qingyuan,” and it truly lives up to the title. This May Day, the area transforms into a magical world with the “Xun Yan Ji” Wuxia-themed activities and a Lavender Music Festival. You’ll feel like you've stepped into a fantasy realm. At Dongtian Wonderland, there’s even a Hanfu social gathering during the holiday—dress in traditional clothes and get a discounted child’s ticket for the full immersive experience!
