🏮The moment the lights were turned on in the evening was so beautiful that I was speechless! 🌈The lights were turned on in the evening, and the lights flickered, illuminating every corner of the block. The eaves and corners cast mysterious light and shadows under the bright yellow light, and the mottled shadows under people's feet were intertwined. The air was filled with the fragrance of various snacks, and the fireworks were lingering, as if I had instantly traveled to the glorious and splendid Tang Dynasty. 🌌The bluestone path was winding and the road surface was slightly shiny in the evening. Walking slowly, women in ancient costumes were passing by from time to time, laughing and fluttering. The shouts of the sister selling candied haws and the uncle who was carefully painting candy on the roadside were all worth stopping to watch and taste. 🏮The lanterns and wind chimes on the roadside floated with the breeze, adding a touch of romance to this gorgeous night. There are many old-fashioned handicrafts on both sides of the road, delicate embroidery, grand inscriptions, and quaint wood carvings. The deeper you go, the deeper your sigh will be. Each gift carries the hard work and wisdom of the craftsmen. Choose a unique souvenir for your loved one. 📷Every corner of the street can produce a blockbuster in minutes. Standing on the ancient stone bridge, behind you is the brightly lit street scene, like a gorgeous dream. Whether standing in the pavilion or leaning against the window, you can take a photo of your life.

Isn’t it true that when winter comes, we southerners feel itchy and always want to see snow? Today I will tell you about some great places to enjoy snow around Guangdong👏. Nanyue Hengshan ⛰️ It is quite convenient to go to Hengshan from Guangdong. If you choose to take the high-speed rail, it only takes two and a half hours to drive from Guangzhou South to Hengshan West Station. If you start from Shenzhen North, it will take about two hours. Get off at Hengshan West Station, then transfer to a bus, and you can reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain in about 15 minutes. For those who drive by themselves, it takes about five hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Hengshan is from the end of December to February of the following year. There are not many accommodation places in the scenic area, mainly distributed at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. If it snows, the sightseeing bus may be out of service, so we can only walk up on our own two legs. If you are not very physically strong, you can split the trip into two days. I think staying halfway up the mountain is a good choice. It’s about 5 kilometers of hiking from the halfway up the mountain to the top of the mountain. It usually takes about two and a half hours to walk. Not too tiring. Hengshan is quite cost-effective among the rime-viewing places around Guangdong, but there are relatively few places to stay, and it may take some effort to go up the mountain. Mangshan Wuzhi Peak Scenic Area ⛰️ If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes one and a half hours from Guangzhou South to Chenzhou Station, and two hours from Shenzhen North to Chenzhou Station. After leaving Chenzhou Station, it takes about an hour and a half to take a taxi to Mangshan, and it takes about four hours to drive there. The viewing period of Mangshan is also from the end of December to February. The accommodation there is mainly concentrated near Ximen. There are hot spring hotels, but the prices are a bit high. The advantage of Mangshan is that you can not only enjoy the snow scenery, but also enjoy the hot springs comfortably. The key is that you don’t have to climb the mountain. It is perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the snow easily. Jiangxi Lushan ⛰️ If you go from Guangzhou South to Lushan Station, you need to change trains, which takes about five hours in total; if you take the train from Guangzhou Station to Jiujiang Station, it will take 13 hours. The best time to enjoy the snow in Lushan Mountain is from the end of December to February. There are many B&Bs and hotels on the mountain, but in the peak snow season, the price is generally between 500 and 1,000 yuan. The snow scene in Lushan Mountain is quite unique. The snow is thick and not inferior to the snow scene in the north. You can have fun building a snowman there. Let me summarize it for you: Hengshan: Among the rime viewing options around Guangdong, the cost is relatively reasonable, but there are few accommodation places, and you may have to hike up the mountain when it snows. Mangshan: You can enjoy the snow and soak in hot springs without having to climb the mountain. There are many accommodation options in Ximen, among which hot spring hotels are more expensive. Lushan Mountain: The snow scenery is quite unique, the snow is abundant, and there are various accommodations on the mountain. The price increases to a certain extent in the peak season. You can choose the snow viewing destination you want to go to based on your actual situation, such as budget, physical strength, etc.

2.5 hours from Shenzhen, take a high-speed train to see the snow. The following attractions are recommended: 1. Mount Heng, Hunan: It takes about 2 hours and 44 minutes from Shenzhen North Railway Station to Hengshan West Railway Station. Mount Heng is a famous snow-viewing destination in southern China.

You may have the chance to see snow, sunrise, a sea of clouds, and starry skies at the top of the mountain. 2. Mangshan, Hunan: It takes about 2 hours from Shenzhen North Railway Station to Chenzhou West Railway Station, and then about 1.5 hours by scenic area bus to Mangshan. You can see snow from December to early February. There are cable cars, escalators, and vertical elevators to the top of the mountain, which is suitable for tourists who want to see the snow easily. There are also forest hot spring hotels nearby, so you can enjoy the fun of hot springs while watching the snow. It is recommended to check the local weather forecast and scenic area announcements before visiting these attractions to better plan your trip.

It is a national 5A-level scenic spot and a national key cultural relic protection site. It coexists Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It is a unique temple in China and is known as the "No. 1 Temple in Jiangnan." Distribution pattern: Nanyue Temple is also known as the "Forbidden City of the South". It has the largest palace-style ancient building complex in the south. It is a nine-in-four-story courtyard with a central axis symmetry, covering an area of ​​120,000 square meters.

🌈In Hengyang, a city embraced by mountains and waters, South Lake Park offers citizens a natural gift of over 3,700 acres of ecological wetland with no admission fee. On an April morning, as I strolled through this freely accessible oasis, I truly understood the poetic meaning of "urban green lung"—not a distant painting, but an accessible daily life experience. 🌸Cherry Blossom Avenue: A Pink Romantic Invitation with No Barriers Past the red pathway in front of the Party History Museum, a 500-meter cherry blossom tunnel suddenly unfolds before your eyes. The petals of Chinese red cherry blossoms glisten like silk in the morning dew. Unlike the delicate cherry blossoms elsewhere, the flowers here cluster heavily, bending branches to form veritable "flower waterfalls." Several young women in Hanfu glide by with parasols, their flowing garments dancing with falling petals, prompting passersby to raise their phones to capture this free spring spectacle. Even more thoughtfully, the park has placed wooden benches under the flowering trees, allowing the elderly and children to experience the romance of "cherry blossom rain" up close without worrying about ticket costs. 🌹Wetland Flower Sea: A Free Feast of Nature's Color Palette Following the lakeside path, surprises await in the wetland scenic area. Over 30 acres of mixed flower fields stage a carnival of colors: zinnias dominate with orange-red hues, sulfur cosmos splash bright yellow enthusiasm, while marigolds dot the landscape with touches of orange. These flowers aren't greenhouse pampered but "grassroots sprites" rooted in the natural wetland, coexisting with reeds and calamus to form naturally wild plant communities. The wooden viewing platform in the center of the flower field is most wonderful—standing there gazing into the distance, lake light, flower colors, and tree shadows interweave into a giant oil painting. The right to appreciate this "artwork" belongs to every ordinary person who walks through the door. 🌻Four-Season Flower Borders: Sustainable Beauty of Free Ecology Beyond seasonal flower seas, the park's border designs reflect the ingenuity of free landscapes. The three-dimensional flower sculptures at the south gate entrance spell out "Welcome to Hengyang" using ornamental kale and pansies—both festive and eco-friendly. The flower borders beside the metasequoia forest feature hydrangeas and irises as protagonists, paired with scenic stones and streams to create Zen-like Japanese dry landscape gardens. According to staff, these plantings mostly use perennial plants, achieving "flowers in four seasons and greenery year-round" through scientific rotation, reducing maintenance costs while ensuring citizens enjoy a free visual feast all year. 🎇Citizen Life: A Microcosm of Life in a Free Park In this free realm, the most touching scenery is always people's smiling faces. On lakeside benches, silver-haired couples sit side by side, steam rising from their thermos cups, facing the sparkling lake and swaying flower branches. On the lawn, children chase bubbles through fields of February orchids, their laughter startling a group of egrets. Photography enthusiasts set up their "long guns and short cannons" (cameras) under red maple trees, capturing moments of sunlight penetrating leaves—these ordinary yet precious scenes are gently supported by the park's free admission policy, becoming the warmest footnotes in the city's memory. 🔱Facility Upgrades: Quality Assurance for Free Experiences The 2024 quality improvements have elevated South Lake Park's free experience. Newly laid permeable concrete greenways connect various attractions, both slip-resistant and environmentally friendly. Renovated curved bridges and boardwalks with wood-grain railings blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape. The smart guide system updates flower information in real-time through a mini-program, ensuring visitors don't miss any free seasonal surprises. Most commendable are the park's accessible facilities, from gentle slopes to low-level viewing platforms, silently expressing the concept that "free access means sharing with everyone." 💝Conclusion: Ecological Inspiration of Free Beauty The charm of Hengyang South Lake Park lies not only in its natural beauty but also in breaking the fixed logic that "beautiful scenery = admission tickets." Here, flower appreciation isn't a consumer behavior but an inherent ecological right of citizens; the park isn't a scenic spot but an organic component of urban life. When we picnic under cherry trees, birdwatch by wetlands, or take photos in front of flower borders, we enjoy not only nature's generosity but also a city's commitment to fair distribution of public resources. This "zero-threshold poetry" may be the most precious gift South Lake Park offers to Hengyang.
