Traveling to Yingde, this is the right way to do it.
🌅In our busy lives, we always long for a spontaneous trip to encounter different scenery and experience unknown beauty. In April, when flowers are in full bloom and peach blossoms begin to flourish in mountain temples, I embarked on a journey to Yingde, starting a spring trip full of surprises and romance🌸. Here's the most comprehensive travel guide for Yingde in April to share with everyone!
🌤️Weather: The temperature in Yingde in April ranges from about 20℃ to 30℃, generally comfortable, but the weather can be changeable, sometimes sunny, sometimes drizzling. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure and bring rain gear🌂.
👗Outfit: This season is suitable for light clothing such as short sleeves, shorts, dresses, etc., paired with a light jacket for warmth during the significant temperature differences between morning and evening. Light-colored, fresh outfits are great for photos, such as white dresses or blue shirts with jeans, which complement Yingde's natural scenery perfectly📷.
🎈Best time to visit: Besides April, spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) are the best times to visit Yingde, when the temperature is pleasant and the scenery is especially beautiful.
🚗Three-day itinerary:
- Day 1:

Inside the cave, the bizarre stalactites illuminated by lights create a dreamlike fairyland, making one marvel at nature's craftsmanship.
- Afternoon: Visit Dongtian Wonderland. Known for its karst landscape, it features over a hundred amazing sights including the Natural White Jade Guanyin, Sky Dragon Water Absorption, and Fairyland Waterfall. Sitting on a boat, slowly cruising through the cave, feeling the cool mist on your face, it's like entering a secluded paradise.

From the viewing platform, overlook the entire town, with continuous mountain peaks and golden rapeseed fields (rapeseed flowers bloom around April), forming a beautiful pastoral painting.

With the breeze on your face and picturesque scenery, it feels like returning to the beautiful times of childhood. You can also try zip-lining, hot air balloons, or paragliding (according to personal preference) to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Yingxi Peak Forest from different angles.
