This view you'll find it in red flower lake in Huizhou city, Guangdong province. This city is quite small if you compare it with their neighbors cities like Dongguan or Shenzhen, there's no metro line to get here, so if you know a little bit of Chinese you can talk to the taxi driver to take you here. #givethanks

Hiking to this place was awesome, first we started from the red flower lake in Huizhou, and then we grab bikes until the start of the hike, there's one path way and a natural one, of course we decided to go through the natural one. After one hour of hiking we reach the top of the mountain where we found this museum. #givethanks

The trail on the shore of Honghua Lake is simple and beautiful; there is a clear color between the lakes~ night at the Country Garden Run Yangxi Valley Hot Spring Hotel, the strong Southeast Asian characteristics are full of exotic style, quiet and relaxing night~

I haven't been to Honghua Lake for two or three years. This time I went there again and it was really a new sight. There is a large flower wall at the park gate (a great place to check in), and there are many signposts along the way. The lanes and sidewalks are also very clear. In addition to riding a bicycle (there are many bicycle rental shops inside and outside the park), you can also rent a family electric car and take a boat ride. Now it is spring season. You can choose to go to the main dam by bicycle or electric car (paid). There are many flowers along the way. There is a large number of yellow bell trees in one area, which are beautiful now. There are also a few roses along the way. There are snacks and tea shops in the park. The bike path is 18 kilometers long. Now that the weather is cool, it is the most fun to go on an outing with a family, couples, friends, or a few close friends.

| Two days and one night city walk. My dears👫, as a travel enthusiast who loves to wander around, today I must share with you my amazing two-day and one-night 0-yuan city walk tour in downtown Huizhou. It was extremely cost-effective and fun😎! 🌅Day1: Morning - Strolling around West Lake In the morning, I came to Huizhou West Lake in high spirits. This is a free treasure attraction. As soon as I stepped in, I was struck by the beautiful scenery in front of me😍. The lake water shimmers like a large mirror, reflecting the lush trees and quaint pavilions on the shore. Walking along the path by the lake, the breeze gently brushed my cheeks, bringing a slight coolness, so comfortable that I even wanted to hum a little tune 🎶. As we were walking, we saw many people feeding ducks by the lake. The ducks were chubby and swam over to grab the food. They were so cute. I couldn't help but buy some bread and join in feeding the ducks. Seeing them eating happily, my heart was filled with joy 😄. 🌅Day1: Noon - Food hunting on the pedestrian street After visiting West Lake, my stomach started to growl. Not far away is the pedestrian street, where there are many delicious foods. I didn't go to any big restaurants, I just went to street food stalls. Have a serving of steaming rice noodle rolls, the white and tender rice noodle rolls are wrapped with delicious minced meat and vegetables, and then drizzled with special sauce. When you take a bite, wow, it’s so soft, glutinous, fresh and fragrant, and you feel instantly overwhelmed with happiness😋. 🌅Day1: Afternoon - Cycling around Honghua Lake After eating and drinking, we went to Honghua Lake in the afternoon. There is an 18-kilometer greenway here, which is especially suitable for cycling. I rented a bicycle at the entrance and started my cycling journey. Along the way, all I could see were green mountains and clear waters, and the air was incredibly fresh. Every time I took a breath, I felt like my heart and lungs were thoroughly cleansed🧼. There were several rest stops along the way. I stopped from time to time to look at the lake view and take pictures. Sometimes, you can see people fishing by the lake. Their leisurely and contented look is really enviable. Cycling in Honghua Lake is really a way to exercise your body and enjoy the beautiful scenery, killing two birds with one stone😜. 🌃Day1: Evening - Night view of Shuidong Street When night falls, Shuidong Street becomes lively. The architecture here retains the arcade style of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. When the lights are on, it seems as if you have traveled back in time🕰. There are many specialty shops on the street. I visited them one by one. Some sold exquisite handicrafts, some sold retro gadgets, and each one was full of surprises. When you are tired of shopping, just find a bench on the street to sit down, watch the people coming and going, and feel the fireworks of this city. It is so comfortable 😌. 🌅Day2: Morning - Enjoy the scenery at Fengzhu Garden On the second day, I came to Fengzhu Garden. Although this place is not big, it is as exquisite as a Jiangnan garden🎐. There are pavilions, towers, rockery ponds and a variety of flowers in the garden. When spring comes, the flowers are in full bloom, it is so beautiful that it looks like a painting🌸. I walked through the gardens, taking pictures of the blooming flowers and admiring the unique buildings, completely immersed in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere🤩. 🌅Day2: Noon - Another wave of special snacks It's time to eat again. This time I tried Huizhou's A-ma Jiao, which is a snack made of glutinous rice flour and shredded radish. The outside is fried golden and crispy, and it makes a "crunch" sound when you bite it. The shredded radish inside is soft and has a light sweetness. It's so delicious that you can't help but stamp your feet👏. 🌅Day2: Afternoon - Leisure time at Jinshan Lake Park In the afternoon, I came to Jinshan Lake Park. There are large tracts of lawn here, and many people fly kites on them. I also found an open space, spread out a picnic mat, lay down in the sun, and looked at the colorful kites in the sky. I felt as if I had returned to my childhood, carefree, and my body and mind were greatly relaxed😃. During these two days and one night, I visited all these 0 yuan attractions on the city walk in Huizhou city, and gained a lot of happiness and memories. My dears, next time you come to Huizhou, you can also try this way of playing. It guarantees that you will have fun and save money💖!

#August Good Places 2024 # Introducing you a place for parent-child travel Last week was a big holiday One of the shows was to ride a bike at Red Flower Lake, which really surprised me. First of all, rental bike shops are everywhere, but also bargained to ¥50/4 units, but also all day any ride, cheap, models and new! When you get to the 18 kilometers of bike path around the lake, the scenery is so beautiful that it becomes a 5-meter-wide bike path, so you don't have to worry about children having accidents. There are also many resting spots, pavilion washrooms and canteens in the middle, but if the children are too young, you may have to take time to turn back, because it takes 2 or 3 hours for our whole family to keep pedaling to finish the lake! 🤣
