June in Fugang feels like being soaked in mint soda, with mountain breezes carrying the mist of hot springs, even the air is lazily sweet～ The locals’ favorite way to beat the heat is: explore the mountains and waters by day, soak in hot springs and enjoy Hakka cuisine by night, and finally collapse on the guesthouse terrace counting stars✨ 【3 Days 2 Nights Nanny-Level Itinerary】 🍳​​Day 1 Morning​​ Head straight to Somphora Resort Forest (ticket about 128 RMB), dinosaur fans will scream!
