2025 Longchuan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Huoshan is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong Province, famous for its peculiar rocks and steep cliffs. I thought there wouldn't be any foreign tourists in this remote place, but I actually met tourists from Hong Kong, and I instantly felt at home. It turns out that I'm not the only one who comes here just to see a mountain! Huoshan's facilities are much more complete than before. I remember many years ago, some of its 90-degree stairs had no fences, and walking up them would make people tremble.🥶 In addition to the beautiful scenery, Huoshan has many steep stairs, which is very challenging for your leg strength. It also requires a lot of physical strength. There is a small shop halfway along the way where you can buy some ginger tea, tofu pudding, and snacks. The prices are not expensive. Next to the shop, you can ride the magic carpet for an additional fee (only if you don't buy a package). It is very friendly to tourists with relatively weak physical strength. (Be sure to follow the instructions of the staff when riding the magic carpet and pay attention to safety.) 🌟🌟🌟 In addition to hiking, Huoshan's glass plank road and sky plank road are also worth visiting. You need to wear dust-proof socks on its glass plank road, so the glass is cleaner and more transparent. (Shivering 🥶) Before you finish walking along the plank road, there will be staff to help you take photos. At the exit, you can find your own photos with photo frames. You can choose to buy them or not. (The price is not expensive and it is of great commemorative value.) 🌟🌟🌟 A Line of Sky (a very special scenic spot) The ingenious workmanship of nature seems to have split a mountain in half. Walking in the gap in the sky, the temperature drops instantly. If the weather is too hot, it is cool and comfortable here. Huoshan is a brilliant pearl in Longchuan and the No.1 scenic spot for flower viewing and outing. If you want to find something new and different to try, you can come and have a look. The whole journey takes 4-5 hours, which is definitely enough to kill a day and bring a day of physical and mental health.😊 🌟🌟🌟 📍Address: Dongjiang Village, Tianxin Town, Longchuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province 🕰️Opening hours: 08:00–17:30 transportation: 🚄 🚌 Depart from Hong Kong: West Kowloon High Speed ​​Rail Station - Longchuan West (the fastest time to arrive is 1 hour and 36 minutes) Depart from Shenzhen North: Shenzhen North High-speed Railway Station - Longchuan West (the fastest time to arrive is one hour and 16 minutes) 1: Take a taxi or Gaode Taxi from Longchuan West High-speed Railway Station to Huoshan Scenic Area. 2: From Longchuan Railway Station, take bus No. 1 to the bus terminal and transfer to the Huoshan tourist bus. #Huoshan #Longchuan #Heyuan

Meizhou + Heyuan Road Trip || Five Days and Four Nights of Fun|||😉😉 Taking advantage of the short holiday, I decided to travel around Meizhou and Heyuan (basically the only places in the province I haven't been to yet). It was a five-day, four-night self-driving tour. I planned my route and the attractions I wanted to visit in advance. On a beautiful afternoon, I hit the gas and set off!!🚗🚗 ✅This itinerary: Day 1: Depart the night before and arrive in Meizhou - check in to the Meizhou Federal Hotel - Meizhou Jiangbei Old Street - Youluo Street Day 2: Dapu County Hua'e Tower (ticket 10/person) - Fuda Ceramic Cultural and Creative Industrial Park (ticket 10/person) - Dapu Jiaozi River Beach - Thousand Buddha Pagoda - Academician Square - Zhongshan Park - Guidu Park - Qinshui Park - Night tour along the Mei River (ferry available at the pier) - Kedu Plaza Day 3: Lingshan Temple - Shengshou Temple - Songkou Ancient Town - Heping East Road - Meidong Bridge - Shiziao Reservoir - check in to a B&B near Huo Mountain Day 4: Huo Mountain Scenic Area (ticket 125/person, including glass walkway + magic carpet) - Linzhai Ancient Village - Shuibai Ancient Village - Yinxiang Xintiandi - check in to the Heping Century Hotel Day 5: Longjie Town Dongpu Village - Yunji Mountain Nature Reserve [ticket 24 yuan/person (including Yunji Ancient Town + Yunji Mountain) + parking fee 10 yuan/car] + Hot Spring Tourist Area - Liuxihe National Forest Park - Conghua Liangkou Town Xitou Village Tourist Area ❇️This concludes the five-day, four-night trip.👣👣If you have more time: Yannanfei Tea Plantation Scenic Area, Ketianxia Hakka Town, Wanlv Lake Scenic Area, Baihou Ancient Town Tourist Area, China Hakka Museum, Pankeng Scenic Area, Five Finger Rock, Meizhou Wuhua Hot Mud Spa Resort, Longguizhai Waterfall, etc., are all worth visiting.👀👀 👍🏻Specialties: Pickled noodles, Jidi soup, stuffed tofu, Xianrenban, salt-baked chicken, Meicai pork, Hakka meatballs, fried fish powder, Qilu cake, etc. Many attractions in Meizhou are far apart, so it might be inconvenient if you're not driving. Personally, I think Jiangbei Old Street, Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and Songkou Ancient Town are worth visiting.

In the evening, I stayed at Longchuan 138 Boutique Hotel and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, I opened my eyes and drew the curtains. The warm sunlight shone into the room, and the fresh air filled my nose. I instantly felt that life was so beautiful! A beautiful day had begun again... After getting up and washing up, I set off for the beautiful local scenery of Longchuan—Shuikeng. The front desk of 138 Hotel told me that the Shuikeng Scenic Area is full of strange rocks and cliff carvings, each with a beautiful legend. The scenic area mainly includes eight attractions: "Zhan Yun Guan Lang," "Zhuo Feng Legend," "Wan Lu Qi Lin," "Qing Xi Lie Qi," "Deng Gao Fang Gu," "Jing Yang Lan Sheng," and "Guanyin Temple." There are also participatory amusement places such as "San Tan Yin Yue Swimming Pool," making it a great place for people to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, go sightseeing, relax, and return to nature.

⛰️Huoshan is located in Longchuan County. It is a national 4A-level tourist attraction and a provincial forest park. It is located in the three-hour living circle of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with the Huoshan Expressway exit nearby, and transportation is very convenient. Huoshan Scenic Area is famous for its steep Danxia red cliffs and strange rocks and stones. It is a typical Danxia landform and is known as "Luofu in the morning and Huo in the evening". It is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong. 🚏: It takes about one hour and 40 minutes to drive from Heyuan city 🎫: The package includes ticket + glass plank road + magic carpet 🟰💰125 ⭕️: The whole journey takes about 3 hours (⚠️: the magic carpet can only go up but not down‼️). The route mainly consists of mountain trails and stairs. People who don’t exercise often say they can easily complete it. Although it is a niche attraction, it is full of surprises 🔸It is recommended to go up the mountain in the afternoon. I arrived at the foot of the mountain around 12:00, had a meal, and started to go up the mountain at about 14:00. Most of the way was in the shade, with sunshine where it should be and shade where it should be. It did not affect taking photos at all, and the key point was that you could avoid the crowds! You can make a movie at will! As for meals, there are many farmhouse restaurants at the entrance of the scenic area, which are economical and serve large portions. Eat well and start working. Come on! Travel ✔️ Few people ✔️ Oxygen ✔️ Sports ✔️ 🔹Have you heard of the "Nature Effect"? Nature has a profound impact on humans, and this impact is called the "nature effect." Contact with nature and the sounds of nature, such as the sound of water and birdsong, can help improve mood, relieve stress, reduce pain, improve cognitive ability, heal the body and mind, reduce the level of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body, and allow the brain control center to relax and rest.

Huoshan Scenic Area is located in Tianxin Town, Longchuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. It covers an area of 10.5 square kilometers and is 557 meters above sea level. It is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong, a provincial forest park, the most beautiful scenic spot in Heyuan City, one of the "New Eight Scenic Spots" in Longchuan, and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. We checked in at Huoshan, climbed the ladder, climbed the mountain, sat on the magic carpet, and walked slowly on the glass plank road from 10 am to 4 pm for a full six hours, but we didn't feel too tired, but we were deeply attracted by the beauty of nature.

First time visiting Longchuan, Heyuan, Guangdong, I came across this restaurant called Guest Full Sky. It was better than I expected. The lobby has a retro and elegant decoration style, and the private rooms on the second floor are spacious and bright. The service is good and the atmosphere is comfortable. Most importantly, the ingredients are fresh. The steamed fish and Hakka chicken are both delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered 10 dishes for 8 people at a total of 630 yuan, which is less than 80 yuan per person. A satisfying dining experience. Guest Full Sky Hakka Restaurant

Sharing the night climb Qifeng Mountain sunrise guide~ First, the result: the experience was wonderful! I departed from Nanyang city to Fangcheng Qifeng Mountain, a journey of 1.5 hours. Two options: 1. Arrive at Fangcheng Qifeng Mountain the night before and stay nearby, then start at 4:30 AM the next day. 2. Depart from Nanyang at 2 AM and reach Fangcheng around 4 AM. The sunrise is around 5:30~6:00 AM. The process is quick, but it's beautiful before sunrise with a sea of clouds and a wide view. Arriving at the foot of Qifeng Mountain at 4:30 AM, we took a bus directly to the top of the mountain (about 20 minutes). I personally recommend taking the bus up and walking down (about 3 hours), leisurely taking photos, very pleasant. There are also options to climb directly to the top of the mountain at dawn, which requires an additional 2 hours. Actually, you can't see much in the dark, so I recommend taking the bus up. The cost is free at night but requires a 10 yuan insurance. The daytime ticket is 65 yuan. The mountain during the day is ordinary, nothing special, so it's better at night, saving money and having a great experience. Each person only needs 30 yuan for a wonderful experience! Super cost-effective!! The best feeling is the time waiting for the sunrise after reaching the top of the mountain, with the sea of clouds rolling, layer upon layer! It feels like an ink painting, very wonderful! You don't want to talk, just want to sit quietly. Away from the hustle and bustle~ There are not many people at night, with excellent viewing points! If you have time, you can go and see~

Tuocheng was the earliest established ancient county in Lingnan, with the Qin Dynasty setting up the county government in Longchuan County here. It was later renamed Tuocheng in honor of Zhao Tuo, the first county magistrate of Longchuan, who later became the 'King of Nanyue'. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the Central Plains, he sent an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan, and Zhao Tuo accompanied the army southward, with Longchuan being his first stop and where he stayed on as the first county magistrate. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, he carved out a territory in Lingnan and later established the Nanyue Kingdom, becoming King Wuling of Nanyue. Zhao Tuo had a significant impact on the culture of Lingnan and the origins of Hakka culture. During his tenure, Zhao Tuo proposed a series of suggestions and measures that promoted the integration of the Han people from the Central Plains with the various ethnic groups of the Baiyue, which is also the earliest origin of the local Hakka people and the formation of Lingnan culture. This also resulted in the small village of Tuocheng having nearly 180 surnames and about 50 ancestral halls. Tuocheng is a very quiet town with both pastoral scenery and cultural atmosphere. The entire town is an open scenic area, where the bricks and tiles within the town are preserved relics. Later generations have only carried out repairs on this basis, trying to maintain the original appearance as much as possible.

Huoshan is truly a huge surprise! It is an overlooked famous mountain in Guangdong, with magic carpets, glass bridges, and a 360-degree panoramic view that is spectacular and deserves widespread promotion. Lingshan Temple reminds me of the Hanging Temple, similarly situated halfway up the mountain, with the continuous sound of cicadas. Located in the central part of Longchuan County, Heyuan, it is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong and a provincial-level forest park, known for its precipitous red cliffs and strange rocks. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was said that when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining mortar on earth, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making the mountain present steep cliffs, towering precipices, and a variety of strangely shaped rocks that are breathtaking. Huoshan was not called Huoshan in the past. Later, during the chaos of the Chu-Han Contention, the ancestors of the famous scholar Huo Long moved from Wu to Yue and settled in Longchuan, living in seclusion on Huoshan. When Emperor Gaozu of Han was in power, he once asked Huo Long to leave the mountain to take office, but Huo Long had no interest in officialdom and said, 'Longchuan is the birthplace of dragons. If the dragon leaves the stream, it might as well be granted death,' politely declining and choosing to live in seclusion on Huoshan. He wrote books, spread culture, enlightened the locals, and after achieving his work, he became an immortal, leaving his name in the world. In gratitude for his beneficence, the people named the mountain after him. Huoshan has many scenic spots, with 372 steep peaks, 48 of which are famous, 27 rocks, 8 great caves, and 11 springs. It is truly a place where thousands of rocks compete in beauty, and thousands of ravines vie in flow, with each peak having its own unique form and every place presenting a spectacle. Therefore, for thousands of years, many scholars, poets, monks, and Taoists have come in an endless stream.

Chongxing Wei was built by Xie Yunchong, the 18th generation descendant of Xie Dieshan, a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, a patriotic poet, who was known as 'Zhao Yang'. His grandfather, Xie Renzhong, was a 'thousand-household marquis' and a wealthy and famous figure in Longchuan County during the Kangxi period. His father, Yu Rong, was the Right Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War. The construction of Chongxing Wei started in the early Qianlong period (1730-1740) and took 10 years to complete. Chongxing Wei covers an area of 20 acres, with more than 150 rooms, 22 courtyards of various sizes, and 25 halls and parlors. The outer walls of the fortress are about 11 meters high with a thickness of 60 cm, made of extremely hard lime mixed walls. The fortress has two floors, and in the middle is the main house with three vertical and four horizontal structures and four corner towers, making it highly defensive. It has a history of over 270 years. It has withstood numerous harassments by bandits and several attacks by the National Army. In the old times, when technology was not as advanced, these walls were sufficient to withstand enemy attacks.

Huoshan Scenic Area: Danxia seen from a distance and Huoshan seen from close up It’s not as famous as Danxia Mountain, but the scenery is definitely not bad. There are not as many people as in Danxia Mountain, so it is convenient for taking photos. Tickets are 88 yuan, and there are discounts for online ticket purchases. There is a package ticket for the magic mat + glass plank road, 125 yuan. Personally, I feel that the glass plank road is not a necessary choice. The suspended plank road is the only way down the mountain, and the scenery is similar. The magic mat is convenient for the elderly. Young people can climb the stairs. The stairs are just steeper, but still safe. Denggaogang and Chuantoushi are the highest points in the scenic area. They are great for taking photos, but they are just a test of your physical strength. The total playing time, stopping and walking, takes 6-7 hours. There are supply points along the way, where local villagers carry supplies up the mountain to sell, and the prices are slightly higher.

To visit the Tuocheng scenic area, it is closest to get off at Longchuan West Station (high-speed rail station), which is less than 3 kilometers away from Tuocheng. There is also a bus service from the West Station, but the frequency is low. Tuocheng, also known as Longchuan City, was established as a county in 214 BC, with Zhao Tuo (later the King of Nanyue) as its first county magistrate, hence it was later named Tuocheng. Tuocheng is a world-famous Hakka ancient town and a renowned city of Lingnan culture. Despite the vicissitudes of a thousand years, the ancient city's relics are well preserved. The ancient city walls, Zhao Tuo's former residence, the King of Yue Temple, the King of Yue Well, the City God Temple, the Academy, the Examination Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and the theater, among others, all have many stories to tell. Tuocheng is worth a half-day stay.

Huoshan Tourist Scenic Area has three hundred and seventy-two peaks, among which the most exquisite one is called the Great Buddha Trace. During the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, there was a man named Huo Long, styled Lingyang, who lived here, hence the name Huoshan. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were no big mountains here. It was because when the goddess Nüwa was mending the sky, she scattered the remaining bit of building paste onto the mortal world, which happened to fall on Huoshan, thus making Huoshan present steep cliffs, sheer precipices, standing tall in the sky, with strange rocks and a thousand different postures, making it an extraordinary mountain peak that astonishes onlookers. Huoshan is one of the seven famous mountains in Guangdong, a provincial-level forest park, and a national AAAA-rated tourist area, known far and wide for its perilous red cliffs and strange rocks. Whenever there is fog, one can see clouds and mist below, with peaks revealing their sharp stones, and the sky barely visible. If you are in this place, you see clouds below, peaks above, with clouds and mist moving back and forth under your feet, suddenly rising and falling, entwining and dispersing rapidly, creating a myriad of weather phenomena, as if ascending to the fairy mountains and jade towers, truly a scene where only the sky is above, with no mountain equal in height. Standing on the peak and looking into the distance, the sky is high and the earth is wide, boundless, with thousands of mountains faintly visible, and a thousand more mountains lush with greenery, clouds low and mist hazy, ridges racing like elephants. The boundaries of the seven counties of Longchuan, Wuhua, Zijin, Dongyuan, Lianping, Heping, and Boluo are clearly in sight, and the two rivers of Dong and Han appear like green silk ribbons, dancing among the mountains, with fields and villages resembling a paradise on earth, such a beautiful fairyland! No wonder when Su Dongpo wandered here in the past, he was inspired to chant: 'Huoshan's fine aura wraps around like lush onions, its presence overpowering the number one peak of Xunzhou; the stone path's surface dust is swept away by the rain, the cave door is unlocked, inviting the clouds to seal; the boat's head where immortals once crossed, the jar's wine from yesteryear even more robust; with swift steps ascend and open your eyes, the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River reflects in the pupils.' The estimated tour time is about 4 hours.

The Huangling Diaolou, located in the northwest of Huangling Village, was built in the 30th year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1850). It covers an area of 420 square meters and has a building area of 2100 square meters. The layout is a standalone courtyard style, with the tower standing 14 meters tall, comprising five floors and 72 rooms. There are four wooden staircases, leading from the first floor to the top floor, with corridors inside connecting each room. The external walls are made by tamping a mixture of lime, sandstone, and glutinous rice paste to the top, with the wall base being 80 centimeters thick and the wall body maintaining a thickness of 60 centimeters all the way to the top (commonly known as lime zang walls). The internal wall bases are tamped with ash and sand, about 2 meters high, and the wall bodies are built with mud bricks, with tiles covering the roof. The main gate is made of stone and wood, facing from north to south, with three round holes above the center of the gate and on both sides (three different directions). The diaolou was built by Ye Dezhen, Ye Lianchang, Ye Xiantang, Ye Xipei, Ye Tianxiang, Ye Tianyan, Ye Chaoyuan, Ye Mingxi, Ye Yuanyi, Ye Jingyi, and other ten people who took the lead in using public compensation, rent grain funds to build the diaolou with a grey sand brick wood structure on a small hill with a good view in the western part of the village, commonly known as the cannon tower, named Shuiqian Tower. It is a key cultural relic of Longchuan County.

The Grand View Mansion, also known as 'Dexin Hall', was built by the Xie family's Kao Yui Gong during the Qing Dynasty. The enclosed complex currently has a layout of two courtyards, two lateral sections, and one surrounding cage, with a two-story mixed structure of stone, earth, and wood. It covers an area of about 2000 square meters. The surrounding cage section at the back is damaged. The main gate is concave in shape, with a granite frame, inscribed with the three characters '大观第'. There is a wooden screen in the front hall and ancestral tablets in the rear hall. In front of the gate, there is a remaining open space and a geomantic pond.

Heyuan Huoshan is indeed a natural scenic area in Guangdong Province that is worth visiting. Its Danxia landform features provide a rich visual enjoyment for tourists. At the same time, Huoshan also contains rich cultural connotations and historical value. For example, Huoshan was one of the famous Taoist mountains in ancient times, known as 'Nanyue', and many literati have visited and left poems in history. As a national 4A-level tourist scenic area, Heyuan Huoshan not only attracts local tourists in Guangdong, but also attracts tourists from all over the country. Here, not only is the natural landscape unique and the ecological environment good, but the tourist service facilities are also well-equipped, providing a good tourist experience for tourists. For tourists who want to visit Heyuan Huoshan, it is recommended to plan the itinerary in advance, understand the characteristics and locations of various attractions, so that they can fully enjoy the scenery of Huoshan. In addition, because Huoshan is located in the mountains, tourists should pay attention to weather changes, take measures such as rain and sun protection, and wear suitable clothing and shoes for walking. As the forefront of reform and opening up, Guangdong has always been committed to the sustainable development of the tourism industry. As a part of Guangdong, Heyuan Huoshan also adheres to this development concept, actively promoting eco-tourism and green tourism, in order to achieve the long-term healthy development of the tourism industry.

🏡 It's the Maple Dam Reservoir in Longchuan County, Heyuan City, also known as Qinglong Lake, the second largest artificial lake in Guangdong Province.👋🏻 ⚠️We drove there ourselves. The mountain road leading in has eighteen turns, so be sure to pay attention when driving!‼️ ⛴️There aren't many attractions nearby, so it's not recommended to go out of your way to visit. There are quite a few restaurants, so you can have a meal if you go.🥢
