After Shunde, Zhanjiang, and Shaoguan, I dug up a new treasure town - Qingyuan, come to Amway you quickly!

Perhaps obscured by too many dazzling cities, Qingyuan has not been the first choice for tourists. In a vote of "Guangdong's Least Existential City" launched by The Great Yue Network last year, Qingyuan was also on the list.
But in fact, the south and Guangzhou border, the southwest and Foshan connected, the geographical location is excellent Qingyuan, in the eyes of Guangdong people, but a rare fragrant feast, often on the weekend to step on the accelerator, you can go to this back garden for a leisure vacation.
To ask Qingyuan what characteristics there are, any one of them will make people call "good".
Qingyuan chicken, which is famous throughout the universe, even if it has not eaten, must have looked up to the daimyo for a long time.
In the eyes of this group of Cantonese gourmets who love to eat and know how to eat, there are only two kinds of chickens: Qingyuan chicken and others, which is also a kind of stamp certification for the delicious taste of Qingyuan chicken.
As the largest city in Guangdong, Qingyuan enjoys rich and beautiful mountain water resources, especially in the suburbs, there are still many things to play, in fact, the most prestigious is canyon rafting.

Seeing this picture, do you also have a second of doubt: Is this really not abroad?
Not really! This Philippine same Buddhist hand, hidden in the Qingyuan Ancient Dragon Gorge scenic spot, has now become a popular little red book of the Internet celebrity punch point ~ boldly to the next stop, there are vast mountains and forests as a curtain, and then the clumsy photography Xiaobai can also shoot ins blockbusters.
It is said that Qingyuan has three treasures, one drift, two bubbles and three chickens. The remaining "bubble" that has not yet been introduced refers to the hot spring.
Among the real hot springs officially certified by Guangdong, most of them are located in Qingyuan. Follow the Guangdong Tsai to play the radar all the way to find, you will find these: the original style of the tree hot spring, the back to the basics of the Golden Turtle Spring Hot Spring, the fantasy cave hot spring... You can think of Qingyuan. You really don't have to go to Japan, in Qingyuan, you can take a comfortable hot spring bath at your doorstep.
Rafting, soaking in hot springs, eating Qingyuan chicken, completing these three-piece sets is just the standard item for ordinary tourists.

More than Qingyuan chicken
The food that alarmed CCTV, each delicious to the soul
Most of qingyuan's scenic spots are concentrated in the surrounding suburbs, and some of the urban areas are just the scenes of the humane life of ordinary people's homes.
But for me, who loves to walk the streets and alleys to find food, the main city is still worth staying for a day or two, after all, there is a hidden food jianghu of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even attracted CCTV to visit and shoot special topics!
/ Qingyuan Chicken /
In Guangdong, if you talk about chicken with locals, you will definitely mention Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, go to the ground chicken is famous!"
Chicken is the most taboo to burn the wood and stuff the teeth, and Qingyuan chicken should stubbornly say no to this taste!
In order to become a good Qingyuan walking chicken, the chickens need to make a lot of effort.
Every day they run happily, guarantee a huge amount of exercise, coupled with their wild nature, and have nothing to do with their companions to fight against each other, you can imagine how tight and chewy their flesh is.
Qingyuan chicken is delicious, hanging, white cut, steaming, salt baking, sauna... There is almost no way to burn the thunder.
The most testing taste is still to cut white. There are no other spices to dominate, clear water, a little dip in soy sauce, is the best foil for meat quality. When the teeth touch the chicken, tighten the elastic teeth, the skin is thin and soft, and even reluctant to bite down hard, I want to boldly open the wheat and say, authentic Qingyuan chicken is the best chicken I have ever eaten!
/ Knife Cut Fin /
Some delicacies come with their own era filters, such as this steaming bowl of knife-cut fins. When I was a child, every New Year's Festival, Qingyuan people always had a place on the table of knife cutting.
The delicacies that exist in memory take some effort to find, and now there are fewer and fewer places on Qingyuan Street where you can eat knife-cut fins. If you can find one or two shops that still stick to the knife-cut fin sign, it will be a good food base.
The hand-kneaded sticky rice balls are cut into finely sliced and evenly sliced strips, and the taste is delicate and tender.
A bowl of fragrant knife-cut fins, the soup is the key. Qingyuan people like to use goose meat, goose offal to make goose soup, celery or Cantonese hearts chopped as a flavor-enhancing embellishment, simple, but endless aftertaste. A spoonful of belly is the double satisfaction of the stomach and the heart.
/ Beef offal /
Figure @ Qingyuan Information
The beef offal that Qingyuan people love to eat is not measured in bowls or plates, but is strung with bamboo skewers, a bit like the oden in convenience stores.
Recommend a 20-year-old shop opened on Hetang Street on Songgang Road in the old city - Ying Ying Beef Miscellaneous, accompanying many post-90s Qingyuaners through the green years.
The price of beef offal in this store is much cheaper than that of convenience stores, beef balls, fish, egg tendons, burdock cartilage, etc., all of which are 1 yuan and 1 string.

Small stalls are often crowded with old regulars.
Some people return home from the big city, the luggage is too late to put down, to the British cattle to taste a fresh taste to be a homesickness.
Whether some people are hungry, as long as they pass by here, they must buy a few bunches of beef offal to relieve their hunger, and if they can't be hot, they will send it to their mouths.
The food of the heart always comes with a healing magic, watching the meatballs tumbling in the hot pot, the troubles of life, ah, instantly swept away. This is the "late-night canteen" in the hearts of Qingyuan people.
/ Wow Powder/
In the morning, Qingyuan people are awakened by a bowl of wozai powder, which is actually the intestinal powder that Cantonese people often eat.
The difference is that the container of the sausage powder is a flat round basket woven with a grate, which the Qingyuan people call "WoZai", which is also the origin of the name of Wozai Powder.
Picture @Evening Star takes you to Pu
The steamed nest powder in this way has a hint of bamboo fragrance, which is smooth and not greasy. But now, this traditional system is about to be lost, and everyone eats and cherishes it.
A simple plate of wozai powder, very test of craftsmanship, a chopsticks to clip, the skin is thin and transparent is better, at the same time to ensure that the taste is flexible and not wet sticky, drizzled with secret sauce, and then with a bowl of Hakka pork soup, the taste is just right.
Usually such a breakfast, less than 10 yuan can be done, just to fill the stomach, outside the store, ironing and pasting of the small town in the morning is flooding with happiness.
/Sugar Water /
Located in Guangdong, a big sugar-loving province, the streets and alleys of Qingyuan are also indispensable to shops selling sweet sugar water.
Here, sugar water is no longer just exclusive to summer, different seasons of climate boiling different sugar water, "spring stewed Sydney pear papaya, summer boiled mung bean horseshoe, autumn stewed rock sugar silver fungus, winter eat red bean tangyuan." ”
Whenever you step into the sugar water shop, there are cheap bowls of "seasonal" sugar water waiting for you.
Most of the sugar water shops that Qingyuan people often go to are long-established brands that have been rooted in the neighborhood for many years, and they have a strong sense of humanity. Some even need only a snack cart and a few low tables, and they can also make a name for themselves in the far sugar water world.
Mung bean sugar water, sesame paste, milk peach gum... The classic few sugar waters can close the eyes and there is almost no risk of stepping on the thunder.
The same bergamot garden in the Philippines
Don't go abroad to punch in the new landmark of the Internet celebrity
After the main urban area is finished foraging, then turn your eyes to the surrounding area of Qingyuan, those suburbs with a forest coverage rate of more than 70% and many mountains and waters, there are many surprises.
Recommend Qingyuan an Internet celebrity punch card place - Gulongxia, the aforementioned rafting and brushing the screen of the whole network of "Buddha's Hand Garden" are here.
@Libra Hemp
From Qingyuan city, about 40 minutes by car, gulong gorge located in the mountains will arrive.
"China's rafting can see the far away, Qingyuan drifting to see the ancient dragon", as the hometown of Chinese rafting, the most powerful and loud business card of the Ancient Dragon Gorge is rafting. If you come to Qingyuan in the summer, it is highly recommended to feel it. Get ready for enough courage and screaming to gallop through the rapids, summer never ends!
However, now that the days are getting cooler in November, it is not recommended to go into the water, and it is not interesting to enjoy the towering peaks and watch the silver waterfall splash in the distance.
@ Qingyuan Cultural and Sports Tourism
There is a glass canyon in the scenic area that has set 9 world records, which is worth recommending, 1314 meters long, 520 meters high, the foot of the glass platform is the cliff abyss, just standing on it has spent all my courage, do you dare to challenge?
The "Bergamot Garden" that is popular all over the world, you can find the same style here, of course, you can't miss the punch card.
However, the Buddha hand also costs 10 yuan, and goes up the steps, as if you can reach out and touch the sky, find the camera position, and properly shoot a circle of friends that can show off for a whole year.
There is also an aerial staircase next to the bergamot, which is also a punching point for Internet celebrities. Shoot from the bottom up, the visual effect is also invincible!
Visit the Millennium Yao Village
Feel the old days
If you have enough time to stay in Qingyuan, you can also go to the small counties of Qingyuan that are farther away, such as Liannan and Fogang, to visit the ancient houses of the villages and the thousand-year-old Yao village.
/ Nangang Millennium Yaozhai /
Figureworm @ Mountain Fog_ Rain City
Nangang Millennium Yao Village, located in the beautiful Baili Yao Mountains of Liannan County, Qingyuan, is a place where the Yao people live. Yaozhai was founded in the Song Dynasty and has a history of 1,000 years.
More than 300 ancient houses here are built at the highest point of the village, if not self-driving, you need to change the means of transportation at the foot of the mountain to reach it, there are green medium buses on the roadside, 15 yuan a person, but only halfway up the mountainside. There are also many private cars that can be delivered to the top of the mountain, but the fee is higher.
Figureworm @ don't have a picture
The green tiles of the roof are densely packed, one after another, like the other side of the mountain. Standing on the commanding heights and looking down, there is also a bit of "gray Potala Palace" charm, especially at sunrise and sunset, the sky is covered with mist, full of fairy spirits, as if you can hear the call from ancient times.

Most of the people who stayed in the village were elderly people, who lived in the cottage all their lives, quietly waiting for their homes, sitting in front of their homes smoking an old cigarette, sipping a cup of tea, and always feeling that time flowed particularly slowly.

/ Shangyue Ancient Village /
Figure worm @ flying big cane
There are not many existing ancient villages in Fogang County, and the shangyue ancient residence, one of the largest ancient villages in Guangdong, must not be missed. The ancient residence was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a history of more than 720 years and a long ancient rhyme.
The architecture here has a distinct Lingnan art style, the biggest feature is the "pot ear building", you look at the small arc protruding at both ends of the roof, like a handle that does not resemble an iron pot. Guo'er Lou is the representative of Lingnan Guangfu Homestay, which used to be a symbol of the solid foundation of the family.
Climbing to the top of the building for a wider view and staggered roofs outlining fascinating lines, architectural photography enthusiasts should not miss this angle.

It is surprising that such a wonderful and well-preserved ancient house has not been commercialized, but still maintains its original taste. Walk through the cobblestone alleys and glimpse the stories of old times from the hollow brick walls.
Autumn terraces cascading on top of each other
Give you the color you want
/ Oujia Rice Terraces /
Figure worm @ idle but not cloudy
Oujia Rice Terrace is not far from the Millennium Yao Village, it is recommended to buy a joint ticket to punch the card together.
The layers of Oujia terraces are spread out according to the mountainous terrain, which is very rhythmic and beautiful. The change of seasons gives it a different look, the late autumn season is the most charming, the different shades of yellow make it always look like a painting in the mountains.
Figureworm @ White Chocolate
The terraces in the early morning, shrouded in a light veil-like mist, are like a green girl, pure and beautiful. In this harvest season, walking through the fields, breathing in the aroma of rice, the terraces filled with joy are really intoxicating.
/ Lianshan Black Mountain Terraces /
Figure worm @Hinkly
At the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains, there is a terrace that is more niche than the Oujia Rice Terraces and does not charge tickets - the Black Mountain Terraces.
Although the area is not larger than the Oujia Rice Terraces, the scenery is similar and the tourists are sparse, so it has naturally become a good place for lao Guang to escape the city.
In autumn, there are also activities such as harvesting rice and catching fish with bare hands, and the friends from the city must experience it for themselves. Villagers have smoked geese in front of their homes, and if they are interested, they can buy one or two to take away.
This small holiday town that is about to catch fire
Preemptively caught in the eye of Magnifice
If you want to know if a city has holiday potential, just look at the new hotels here! In the past, Qingyuan had almost no vacation options, but it has been different since this year, because Rosewood Group has settled in Qingyuan! This is also the most recommended accommodation for Fei Jun.
Although it is a young new brand, Qianli still gets only a lot more "love" from Rosewood.
Jointly designed by the world-renowned architectural firm KKS Tourism Planning and Design Agency, the site is located in qingyuan high-quality natural hot spring source, and it is said that the hot springs in the hotel are real hot springs.
Arriving at Guangzhou Airport, the hotel pick-up that has been booked in advance has been waiting for a long time.
After about 1h drive, Qingyuan Qianli arrived, from the sign at the intersection to the hotel lobby, there is also a need to bypass a small road and a roundabout, the atmosphere of private vacation is quite good.
From the car window, the hotel's exterior presents a Japanese elegant style, giving up the exaggerated design, not following the trend elements, triangular roof, wooden structure, Zen space in the mountains and wilderness infinitely extended.
The lobby is called The Commons and is a social hub for guests to interact with the local community. While drinking a welcome drink to dispel the fatigue of the journey, check-in is also completed.
The line of sight extends out of the window, seamlessly connecting with the natural beauty, the distant mountains and green trees seem to be within reach, and the complexity of the outside world is suddenly left behind.
The hotel can not only be viewed from a distance, but also can be played close by. As soon as the luggage was put away, I immediately walked around the garden with great interest.
Everywhere you can see the flowing water elements of small bridges, step by step, the vegetation is dense but not crowded, the resort also set up a number of rest spaces, tired to sit down, listen to birds and cicadas, elegant just right. A young sister who lived in Hoshino said that there is a lot of hoshino taste here.
In the secret area of the mountains, you can enjoy an authentic Japanese hot spring
hot spring
Qingyuan's hot springs are all real hot springs gushing out from the depths of the ground, and the water quality is excellent, and they are weak alkaline springs that have been tested and identified as the first grade by the Central Hot Spring Research Institute in Japan.
Inspired by traditional Japanese hot spring baths, the bathing pool is divided into indoor men's and women's baths, as well as public hot spring pools.
Outdoor hot springs are distributed between bamboo fence paths and verdant flowers and grasses, lying in the bubble pool, the hot springs with bubbles trickling out of the skin, enjoying the beauty of the eyes, fresh air, there is a "paradise on earth" feeling.
The indoor bubble pool also does not let go of a good scenery, extending to the roof of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the beauty of the four seasons. Take a dip in the water, refreshed, tired and exhausted.

A group of restaurants start a journey of Cantonese cuisine
Brilliant all-day dining restaurant
Xuan All Day Dining Restaurant offers a variety of Cantonese morning tea snacks to awaken the taste buds, shrimp dumplings, fried beef river, fried spring rolls, quicksand bags... It was written that I was starting to get hungry again.
Poolside bar
Located in the corner of the courtyard, the poolside bar is a fully open outdoor dining space, and the forest waterside is comfortable, which is a combination of food and beauty.
After eating, you can jump into the pool and swim between the sky and the blue water. If you don't say that this is in Qingyuan, I believe many people will think that they have come to an island somewhere in Southeast Asia.
There is a stomach-watering delicacy
There is a natural beauty that cannot be reproduced
Now there is a good hotel to sleep in again
……
I believe it won't be long,
Qingyuan will become the new favorite of the people of the whole country
