XIA NAN WA BAO JI

This chicken pot is so delicious, the meat is tender and the ingredients are fresh. I often see many people in the store.

Friends, I recently discovered an amazing short trip destination – Qingyuan! I just got back from a trip last weekend, soaking in hot springs, admiring the autumn leaves, and eating authentic free-range chicken, all for just over 400 yuan per person. I'm sharing this super practical autumn travel guide with you all. On the first morning, we headed straight to Gulongxia Red Leaf Valley. November to early December is the most beautiful time of year here; the maple and tallow trees on the mountains turn completely red. Taking photos on the glass bridge is especially beautiful. I recommend wearing light-colored clothing for better photos. Remember to go early to avoid the crowds; when we arrived before 9 am, it was practically the only place we had, and every shot was a masterpiece. We had a simple lunch at the scenic area, and in the afternoon, we went to Senbola Hot Springs to relax. Soaking in hot springs in autumn is so comfortable, especially their bamboo forest bathhouses, which offer excellent privacy. Watching the leaves fall while sipping soup was incredibly relaxing. A word of advice: bring your own swimsuit! The ones sold at the scenic area are expensive and not very attractive. If you buy a package ticket, remember to choose one that includes dinner to save money. In the evening, you absolutely must try Qingyuan's signature free-range chicken. We went to Tianqiaodi Chicken Hot Pot, recommended by locals. The chicken, cooked in a charcoal stove and clay pot, was incredibly tender and juicy. A satisfying meal for around 50 RMB per person! The savory sauce flavor of Xia Nan Clay Pot Chicken is also worth trying. The next day, we went to Yingxi Karst Forest. Hiking is especially pleasant this time of year. Renting an electric scooter and riding along the rice paddies with a gentle breeze felt amazing. Taking photos at the Little Zhaozhou Bridge gave off a martial arts movie vibe. The reeds at the entrance to Guanyin Valley were beautiful in the afternoon. It's especially beautiful under the sunlight. The afternoon visit to the Dongtian Wonderland was a major surprise of the trip. Entering the cave by boat felt like an adventure. The stalactites inside were ever-changing under the lights. At the deepest part, there's a waterfall, with mist swirling around, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Remember to wear non-slip shoes, as some areas are quite slippery. Speaking of Qingyuan's cuisine, besides free-range chicken, you must try Lianzhou preserved meat claypot rice and Qiufeng duck. The oily aroma of the preserved meat permeates the rice, making each bite incredibly satisfying. Qiufeng duck is smoked with red leaves; you really can't find such a unique flavor anywhere else. For accommodation, the Lifeng Hotel in the city center offers great value for money and is within walking distance of the food street. If you want to experience something more special, try Hetian in Yingde. The guesthouses directly face the karst peaks, offering stunning views right from your wake-up. If your budget allows, the hot spring villas at Xile Valley offer private baths, perfect for couples or families. Transportation is most convenient by car, taking only an hour and a half from Guangzhou. The high-speed train is also quick; a taxi from Qingyuan Station to the city center costs only 30 RMB. Sharing a ride with others is even more economical. A few useful tips: The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is significant, so remember to bring a jacket. Bring a waterproof phone case for taking photos in the caves. Student IDs can save you a lot on entrance fees. The best time to view the autumn leaves is from mid-November to early December. Although this trip was only two days long, we enjoyed the autumn leaves, hot springs, and delicious food—it was a truly wonderful trip! #QingyuanTravelGuide #HowToPlayInQingyuan

I came to his house for dinner again, because parking is really convenient!! There is a large open space at the door where you can park for free. It is very cost-effective to come here for supper time. There is a small chicken pot for 88, which includes winter melon/lettuce/cola/Huafeng noodles/tea. The chicken is freshly cut, so you have to wait. The taste is not too salty, remember to turn it over from time to time to prevent the bottom from burning. #清远 #清远美食

Tour around Guangzhou and Foshan, two days and one night across three cities, no thunderstorms along the way, harvest good mood! 💁‍♀️Every trip should leave some regrets, so that the next time will be more perfect~ For example, I planned to buy Jianglu tea oil chicken to take to Beijiang Dam after eating roast goose, but I was worried that the rain would affect the picnic, so I didn't dare to toss. For example, I planned to go to Feilai Temple to pray for blessings in the afternoon of Day 2, but it was not convenient to hike up the mountain on rainy days, so I changed the itinerary to visit the store and coffee shop, which was also very happy~ 👇Day1 1️⃣Firewood Family (Sishan Store)-Baoen Roast Goose🦢 This store is in Sihui, roast goose💰68 per case, the skin is thin and crispy, comparable to potato chips, not greasy. The roast goose is served with a black pepper aroma, and it tastes like firewood and goose meat. With sour plum sauce, I personally think the original roast goose sauce is more flavorful! 2️⃣Beijiang Dam——Super photogenic🏕️ Come here to embrace nature~ Navigate to Jiangjia Village bus stop, where two trees are. There is a restroom in the village committee further ahead, and you can drive up to the base on the slope opposite the village committee. The view is very good! The photogenic rate is extremely high~ 3️⃣Xianan Claypot Chicken——Delicious Qingyuan Chicken🐔 Xianan and Qiaodi are both collected, and Xianan is closer to the hotel. 💰130 double meal, durian chicken pot + vegetables + rice. Three large pieces of durian are very sweet~The chicken is very fresh, and the sauce is very sweet and flavorful, but it is too big and not flavorful, so it is recommended to cook it for a while. 4️⃣Women's Street Food Street——Snacks everywhere 🍢Aying Qingshui Grilled Skewers, 💰1/skewer, the sauce is very fragrant with cumin! 🧇Axiang Egg Waffles, the freshly baked egg waffles are cooled with a small fan, the skin is crispy, and not sweet. 🍨Big bowl of laotangshui, traditional tangshui, conscientious ingredients, large portion! 🥞Qiuji mung bean crispy chestnut cake (old city store), 💰16.8/jin, buy one jin and get half a jin free, take it back for colleagues to eat~ 🏨Accommodation: Yaduo Hotel (Qingyuan North Station Gulongxia Store) Weekend room rate 💰321/night, the room is very large and spacious, dry and wet separation, and there is a cloakroom. The accommodation is on the high floor, very quiet~free parking, rich breakfast, gym equipment is well-equipped~good service, everyone is very warm and polite! 👇Day2 1️⃣Jiange boneless fish-one fish four ways to eat🐟 💰43/jin, four ways to eat, original steamed fish fillet, chopped pepper steamed fish bones, fish paste soup, fish soaked fried eggs. The fish is very fresh, tender and sweet, but the wait for the meal is too long, more than 40 minutes. After steaming all the ingredients, drink the porridge water in the pot, which is smooth and fresh. 2️⃣ Beimen Street - Treasure Cafe ☕️ Dinana Hidden Cafe, a renovated residential building in the late Qing Dynasty, is very charming. The green plants in the yard, the moss on the wall, and the dim lights create a full atmosphere. The product is good, iced Americano + cinnamon latte + black Basque = 18 + 28 + 38 = 💰84, the Basque I ordered contains alcohol, so don't order it if you are driving🖐🏻️ 3️⃣ Huahuayi Lu Goose Living Museum - Invincible Lu Goose🍗 It's delicious!
