Two days and one night weekend trip to Jiangmen, Hong Kong

We have visited eight of the eleven cities in the Greater Bay Area. Last weekend, a family of three traveled to Jiangmen, the hometown of overseas Chinese, and it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. Transportation: I decided to travel at the last minute, but I didn’t buy a ticket for the high-speed rail. There is a cross-border bus at Shun Tak Center in Sheung Wan, and I transfer at Shenzhen Bay Port. The whole journey takes about 3.5 hours. Cross-border buses have many stops in different areas of Jiangmen. You can choose the drop-off point according to the scenic spots you want to visit. Saturday We arrived at the hotel at noon, ate a pot of spicy food nearby and went back to the hotel to rest until we left around four o'clock. The first stop is Pioneer Bookstore (Kaiping Tianxia Granary Store). It was hailed as "China's most beautiful bookstore" by CNN in the United States and "Top Ten Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World" by the British BBC. The five granaries are filled with different types of books, and a spatial art installation is installed on the top of each granary. Visitors can read books, take photos, drink coffee, and buy local cultural and creative products here. No. 6, Xutang West Road, Tangkou, Kaiping City, Jiangmen City It takes about 30 minutes by taxi from Kaiping South High Speed ​​Rail Station After visiting the bookstore for about an hour, I strolled around and admired the Kaiping Diaolou, which features a combination of Chinese and Western styles, including ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Islam. Kaiping watchtowers and villages were rated as world cultural heritage in 2007, including 4 heritage sites: Sanmenli Village Yinglong Tower, Majianglong Village Group, Zili Village and Fangshi Denglou, and Jinjiangli Village , the village we visited belongs to Zili Village, which has B&Bs and restaurants. Sunday We love outdoor activities and always arrange some hiking wherever we go. Jiangmen Heshan is a county-level city with a relatively large Tea Mountain Scenic Area. Many locals drive here for vacation, eat free-range chicken and visit the mountains and springs. There are many farms along the way, and basically every house has a swimming pool, which is either dug or built along the water flow. We chose the latter, which makes the weather feel hotter. The mountain spring water is really cool. It was still cold when I entered the water after ten o'clock. It took a long time to get used to it. When you arrive at the farm, make an order for lunch first. There are a lot of people on weekends, so if you don’t make a reservation first, you won’t be able to get the food served until noon. We chose the braised method, and the boss said that half a chicken weighed three kilograms, which was enough to eat, and it really supported the three of us. Including side dishes, drinks, and beer, the total consumption is 240 yuan. The return trip is to get on the bus at Heshan Bus Terminal and transfer at Shenzhen Bay Port back to Shunde Center. The whole journey takes about 4 hours. #Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area #江门 #凯平 #河山 #cross-border bus
