Weekly reports, meetings, and revising plans—I'm totally drained. Don't just veg out this autumn/winter; change your scenery and recharge. This time, I went to Hutiaoxia in Guangdong. It's about a 3-hour drive from the Pearl River Delta. Stayed at the Guilai Hutiaoxia Art Museum Hotel. A Black Truffle Annual Recommended Hotel. Infinity pool, gym, and laundry room—everything you need. The rooms even have art exhibits; it's like staying in an art museum. ⚡Charging progress ▰▱▱▱▱ Nanyao Hot Spring Soaking in the warm mountain spring, surrounded by green hills. As the steam rises, my shoulders, tight from the week, finally relax. ▰▰▱▱▱ Hutiaoxia Boat Tour Cruising through the gorge along the Huanghua River, with cliffs and bamboo forests on both sides.

Gather in the autumn and winter landscapes, rediscover your passion, and set off together again ⛰️
Last month, my boss tagged me in the group chat: "You're in charge of the autumn/winter team building." I stared at the screen for five minutes, with only one thought in my head: Please, anything but farmhouses and tug-of-war. 🌫️ Finally booked the Guangdong Hutiaoxia Ecological Resort in Xinyi, staying at the Guilai Liuxia Village Boutique Hotel. The bus ride into the mountains had a lot of curves, but when we opened the windows, the air was cool and smelled of grass. My colleagues, who were busy replying to messages, all looked up. 🚌 Day 1 afternoon, we chartered a boat to tour Hutiaoxia. The whole boat was just us. The wind blowing into our collars was a bit chilly, and the cliffs and bamboo forests on both banks slowly receded. The intern, who usually doesn't say much in meetings, took photos for everyone on the deck all afternoon. In the evening, we had a lawn BBQ and KTV. We ate plenty of meat and took turns singing; the department's hidden karaoke king finally couldn't hide it anymore 🎤. After it ended, a few of us snuck off to the Amo Night Bar at the Art Museum Hotel to have a drink while looking at the mountain night view 🍸. Day 2 morning, we went to feed alpacas. Our usually aloof finance colleague squatted there feeding them for twenty minutes 🦙; then we went to Taohuayuanji for tea around the stove and roasted sweet potatoes, talking about everything except work 🍠. Before heading back, we soaked in the Nanyao Hot Springs, with pools hidden in the forest. One colleague kept checking the work group chat while soaking, so everyone teased them and "confiscated" their phone. At that moment, I felt this team building was the right choice. ♨️ As for food, I was very impressed by the Huaixiang chicken at Siji Jiyan. The skin was crispy, the meat wasn't tough, and dipped in a little sand ginger soy sauce, I grabbed three pieces in a row. Yunyan Renjia had more of a local vibe, and it was very lively with a big table of people eating together. 🍗 📅 Our 2-day, 1-night team building itinerary Day 1: Afternoon arrival and check-in → Chartered boat tour of Hutiaoxia → Dinner at Siji Jiyan → Lawn BBQ & KTV → Amo Night Bar Day 2: Breakfast → Feeding the alpacas → Tea around the stove at Taohuayuanji → Nanyao Hot Springs → Lunch and departure 📍 Guangdong Hutiaoxia Ecological Resort (Mulu Village, Huaixiang Town, Xinyi City) 🚗 About a 3–3.5h drive from Guangzhou. For teams, we recommend chartering a bus; it's safer to arrive before dark. To be honest: There are no thrilling team-building activities here, and at night it's so quiet you can only hear the insects. But if your team is like ours and just wants to find a place to switch off your brains and have a good chat, this is enough.
🧣When the weather cools down, I only want to do one thing on the weekend: head into the mountains for a hot spring soak. This time, I stayed at the Guilai Hutiaoxia Art Hotel in Xinyi. Canyon river views, open-air hot springs, and fireside tea—everything is covered in one trip. Here is a hot spring itinerary; just follow it👇 ⛰️Why choose this place 1. The hotel is built on the edge of the canyon, with the Huanghua River right outside the window. 2. The open-air hot springs are tucked away in the mountains, allowing you to enjoy river views while you soak. 3. In the evening, there's fireside tea and a sky bar, so you don't need to go out to find entertainment. It's about a 3-hour drive from the Pearl River Delta. ⏰3:00 PM | Check-in Drop off your luggage and sit by the window for a while to watch the river wind through the canyon. The room has a great design; every photo you take looks good🖼️ ⏰4:00 PM | Sunset session · Open-air hot spring I recommend soaking at this time. As the sun sets behind the mountains, the afterglow spreads across the river. Soak in the steaming herbal hot spring, with a faint scent of herbs drifting in the air. The fatigue of the week slowly melts away🌄 ⏰5:30 PM | Fireside tea Change into dry clothes and head to Taohuayuanji to sit by the fire. Sweet potatoes and chestnuts are roasted slowly by the fire🍠🌰 Brew a pot of hot tea and chat until you don't want to leave🫖 ⏰9:00 PM | Nightcap If you're not ready to call it a night, head to the Omo Sky Bar for a drink and enjoy the canyon at night🍸 Next day 10:00 AM | Canyon boat tour After breakfast, take a boat tour of Hutiaoxia. The 8 km route along the Huanghua River features cliffs and bamboo forests on both sides. It's the perfect way to return while enjoying the river breeze🛶 💧Hot spring tips · Rest for a while after eating before soaking. Do not soak on an empty stomach, and don't eat too much. · Don't soak for too long at a time; take breaks in between. · Remember to hydrate after soaking. · It's cool in the mountains in the morning and evening, so bring a jacket or shawl. · Remember to book the hot spring and boat tour in advance. 🌿Looking for a different stay? If you prefer a pastoral style, you can choose the Guilai Liuxiacun Boutique Hotel. Open the window to see greenery and fall asleep to the sound of insects at night🌙
The late autumn breeze has a chill, so I planned a fall/winter hot spring getaway with my besties. We didn't want to rush between attractions or squeeze through crowds. We just wanted to find a place in the mountains to soak in hot springs, chat, and spend two quiet days. We finally chose Guangdong Tiger Leaping Gorge in Xinyi, Maoming. Even after returning, our group chat is still buzzing about how relaxed we felt. 🏞️ The scenic area is divided into Dadi Slope and Liuxia Village, with shuttle buses that make getting around very convenient. We stayed in Liuxia Village, surrounded by green mountains, terraced fields, and a small village. The pastoral atmosphere is strong, and walking through it really feels like stumbling into a Shangri-La. The whole Tiger Leaping Gorge isn't too crowded, so we didn't have to wait in line for photos—a huge plus. 🛏️ We stayed at the Guilai Liuxia Village Boutique Hotel, hidden within the village. Opening the window reveals greenery, far from the hustle and bustle. The room was quiet, the bedding was comfortable, and we fell asleep to the sound of insects at night. Even us night owls managed to get some sleep for once. ♨️ The highlight of this trip was the Southern herbal hot springs. Soaking in the steaming hot pool on a fall evening, with a faint herbal scent, left us feeling warm and completely relaxed. The four of us soaked in the pool and chatted for over an hour, talking about everything from work to life—it felt much more meaningful than just grabbing afternoon tea in the city. 🔥 The vibe shifted at night with lawn BBQ and KTV! We ate plenty of meat and sang our hearts out in the open air. We took turns being the karaoke stars, and our laughter echoed through the valley for a long time. 🦙 The next day, we went to feed the adorable alpacas. One fluffy alpaca came over to eat grass, and we all scrambled to take photos with it. Every shot turned out super cute. 🍵 You definitely have to try the Peach Blossom Spring stove-side tea. We roasted sweet potatoes and tangerines on the charcoal stove while brewing a pot of hot tea. The atmosphere around the stove is also great for photos. 🍽️ For dining, I recommend Yunyan Renjia—the Huaixiang chicken, starfruit duck, and mountain tofu are all very authentic. If you want something more refined, go to Siji Jiyan for Cantonese cuisine made with local ingredients. 📌 Soaking in hot springs and drinking tea during the day, BBQ and karaoke at night—the perfect balance of quiet and active. This must be what the Shangri-La described by Tao Yuanming is like! Community Creation Center Guide Editorial Department

Really did not go abroad! There is a "Tiger Leaping Gorge" hidden in Xinyi, Maoming, Guangdong. The green river water and green mountains on both sides of the river.

The sea of clouds and unique peaks of Fushan Ridge are nature's most generous gift. In the early morning, thin mist like gauze wraps around the rugged rocks, with peaks appearing and disappearing as if a fairyland has descended to earth. Sunlight pierces through the clouds, casting light on the lush forest; the interplay of light and shadow creates distinct layers, making every frame as serene and magnificent as a painting. Mountain streams murmur, their clear, melodious sounds weaving with bird calls and the rustling of the forest into a natural symphony. There is no hustle and bustle here, only the whisper of the wind through the pine tips and the breathing of the flowing clouds and mist. Climb high to gaze into the distance, and your heart will expand with the scenery, as if worldly worries have been washed away by the sea of clouds. Fushan Ridge is more than just a landscape; it is a sanctuary for the soul—a place that helps one relearn how to gaze, listen, and feel awe. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or someone seeking tranquility, you can find your own moment of peace and wonder here. The mountains and rivers are silent, yet they are the most soothing to the human heart.

When I was a kid, I watched McDull and I remember the words "sunshine, white clouds, coconut trees and shade". I took advantage of my business trip to come to the No. 1 Beach in the World to experience the life that McDull wanted to experience. The weather was bad on the day I went there. It was gloomy and the sea breeze was strong. There were many coconut trees on the beach. There was nothing else. The main thing was that I fulfilled my dream about the sea. Transportation: There is a direct bus, which is very convenient. Tips: The wind is strong on the beach, remember to daijianwaitq
M50***08Maoming's romantic coastline is so therapeutic! The 5.3-kilometer private beach boasts fine, powdery sand, crystal-clear waters, swaying coconut palms, and a distinctly Southeast Asian ambiance. The iconic white crystal chapel is a perfect photo opportunity, making every shot count. The sunset over Orange Beach is breathtaking, and as night falls, there's a beach bonfire and fireworks show, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. With attentive service, comprehensive facilities, and a one-stop shop for dining, accommodation, and entertainment, it offers excellent value for money and is ideal for couples or families. Highly recommended!
Anonymous userThe environment was lovely, the hot springs were relaxing, and the air was incredibly fresh. I haven't seen so many stars in the night sky in years; I only remember seeing them when I was a child! The weather is getting cooler, and after summer, we can go to the water park, which is a favorite for kids.
Anonymous userThe scenery is beautiful, the vegetation is abundant, the air quality is very high, you won't be exposed to the sun during the entire hike, and there are waterfalls one after another along the way, which are breathtaking. When you reach the top, you can have a wide view and take in all the beautiful scenery!
M25***29Maoming Forest Park is a beautiful and relaxing scenic spot. It has a zoo, a small lake, and a playground for children, making it a great place for leisure and vacation. The price is reasonable, offering excellent value for money.
StoneThe security service in the scenic area is very good. They took the initiative to open the gate for me to drive the car to the end, so I don't have to walk so far. You can take the initiative to ask next time. I didn't find a large and luxurious place to eat in the scenic area. They are all small shops, but the price is not expensive and it's very good!
鸿门1990It's worth it. It's a bit tiring to climb to the top of the mountain, but it's really refreshing to see the sea.
一路游来快乐伴随This place is very suitable for friends who like nature, escape from the city and go to the mountains for a light vacation. Ma'an Bamboo Sea belongs to the alpine bamboo forest. The altitude here is about 1100m. It is a rare bamboo sea scenic spot in Guangdong. It is worth traveling.

Alonso😎Maoming Open-Pit Mine Ecological Park. Transformed from the largest oil shale open-pit mine in southern China, this is a free, open-access ecological and industrial culture park. Oil shale mining began in 1958 and ceased in 1992. Restoration began in 2014. Covering 10.07 square kilometers, with the core Haoxin Lake covering approximately 6.8 square kilometers, the park features an open-pit mine museum, a 20-kilometer lakeside greenway, and large areas of restored forest. Haoxin Lake: The lake water is a vibrant blue, incredibly photogenic on sunny days, and ideal for cycling, hiking, and camping. You can rent electric bikes or bicycles to explore the lake. While the scenery is beautiful on sunny days, it can be very sunny. Today, it was a cloudy day, so the scenery wasn't as stunning, but the gentle breeze made it very comfortable. Mining Relics: Equipment such as electric shovels and ore carts are preserved. The museum offers free information on the history of oil shale mining. Ecological Landscape: In spring, the golden trumpet trees bloom, attracting birds and serving as a model of ecological restoration. It's free all day, but the museum has closed days. Inside the park, you can buy tickets to take a miniature train around the lake. There are buses that go there, but they take a long time, so taking a taxi is more convenient.
