Stay at the Shuizhukeng Village B&B, and visit the Zhanshan Grand Canyon

Following the recommendation of two cycling friends on the Huizhou Sky Road, we rushed to Changxi Township in Shexian County, and cycled along the road beside the mountain canyon stream. The scenery along the way was indeed stunning. By combining driving and cycling, we reached a place of high mountains and beautiful waters, where the road markings turned into a three-colored rainbow line. There was a sign indicating that we were entering the Huizhou National Forest Park, an especially tranquil environment, which suddenly inspired us to stay overnight in a mountain village. We smoothly checked into a newly built four-story beautiful B&B, which was perfectly located by the stream passing through the village, at the center of a mountain village embraced by hills and water, enjoying a uniquely favorable location. Pulling back the curtains of the room, we saw a vast expanse of neatly arranged rapeseed flowers in the distance, and nearby, the babbling stream under the shade of ancient trees. The B&B owners were kind and generous, having done business in Shanghai for over a decade, and they proudly praised their hometown as the most beautiful place. In spring, one can see the mountains blooming with flowers, and in autumn, observe the mountains covered in red leaves, with the sound of mountain springs falling continuously to the ear, creating a poetic and picturesque atmosphere in all four seasons. Hence, the B&B was named 'Listen to the Water, Chant of the Maple'. Our village, named Shuizhukeng Village, also known as Zhuxi Village, has a history of several hundred years dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. The villagers are hardworking and the local customs are simple and pure, making it a rather authentic ancient village. After staying one night in the clean and new inn, the next day we visited the scenic spot 'Zhanshan Grand Canyon', 8 kilometers away from Shuizhukeng Village, and it was a trip well worth it!
