This was the beginning of another on-the-go trip. I felt lucky to do what I liked, and then I could travel everywhere in my spare time from work. This is a kind of luck and a happy thing.

Guangzhou, a metropolis that I like very much. I feel very excited to come to Guangzhou again. I am a typical Northeastern girl, but this is actually my second time traveling to Guangzhou, so I feel very familiar and beautiful no matter where I go.

This time, I took advantage of this business trip to check in with my friends to many interesting places. The most classic and favorite one was the one-day trip to Conghua, Guangzhou. This one-day trip is very special and our favorite. First, we went to Xitou Village in Conghua, a very beautiful and simple village, and then we went to visit the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse, which is also the first thoroughbred horse training center racecourse in the mainland to meet the highest standards in the world. Finally, go to the vineyard and eat fresh grapes. A relaxing and happy day will be full of happiness.

One-day tour route

Xitou Village, Conghua-Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse-Picking Vineyards

Traveling through Xitou Village in Conghua as if it were ancient

The first stop was to arrive at a very beautiful place-Conghua Xitou Village. This village is not big but has a very natural and simple beauty. It does not have the fast-paced pressure of the city. Relax and feel the kindness of nature. The Xitou Stone Lane here is simple and peaceful. Although it does not have the excitement of a prosperous city, walking in the alley paved with stone makes me feel as if I have traveled to ancient times and told a certain story.

There are many specialty shops on both sides, many specialties I have hardly seen before.

Many of the houses here are many years old. They are made of stone and have very characteristics. Although they are no longer inhabitable, they still retain their original characteristics.

Every frame here makes people feel particularly cordial. There is no need to think about anything here, just slowly feel the tranquility of the countryside.

There are two hiking routes in Xitou Village, which are very popular among hikers, so we can see many people coming here for hiking along the way. I heard that you can also watch azaleas here, but we were not here in season, so we missed it.

Xitou Village has many hotels with integrated food and accommodation, and then there are many farmhouses. You can choose here for lunch. The very distinctive reservoir fish are particularly delicious, and there are also the characteristic mountain pit snails here. It is definitely a must-order.

Of course, when I come to Guangzhou, I also want to eat white-cut chicken and fish soup at once. The ingredients are fresh and taste healthy and delicious.

Visit the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse-Experience horse culture

I followed the one-day tour group to the second stop. This stop is also the most important one. It is the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse. It can be said that it is a very knowledgeable one. He Haopen has always wanted to visit the racecourse, and he is also full of curiosity about the racecourse. However, usually, the racecourse gives me the impression that it is from Hong Kong operas or an ordinary horse riding track. This time I really came to a world-class horse racing racecourse, I feel an inexplicable sense of holiness and feel honored.

This is the world-class racecourse in the mainland to meet the highest standards for pure-blooded horse training center. Now, you can only make an appointment with a group to visit, and you need to check your identity when entering the venue. The entire venue is very large, covering an area of about 1.5 million square meters. It can accommodate 660 horse racing horses for training at the same time, twice the size of Hong Kong's Shatin Racecourse. The racecourse has grass tracks, mud tracks, climbing tracks, horse hospitals, etc. Moreover, the climbing track is the first horse climbing track in the mainland and Hong Kong. It can be seen how magnificent and spectacular the horse racing club here is.

The most eye-catching thing is this Victory Arch, where champions of speed equestrian competitions will stand and take photos. Haha, I was also lucky enough to take a photo with Victory Arch.

Then go to the visitor center, where you can see the interactive sand table and learn in detail about the entire venue area of Conghua Racecourse for world-class horse training.

In the virtual reality video, we can wear VR glasses to watch the entire process of the equestrian competition at 360°, feeling as if we are really at the scene.

At the same time, I also experienced the rider training machine. I really felt like I was in it and benefited a lot. I can't wait to watch a horse racing game in person next time.

In the visitor center, you can also see photos of the Asian Games equestrian competition exhibition, important mileage of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, as well as trophies from many competitions, etc.

After visiting the stable, I learned a lot about the daily life of horses. The guide also explained to us patiently and learned a lot about equestrian competitions and horses. The horse's hearing is very sensitive. Although we are above the stable, it can feel our voices. If the ears are up, it means that it is happy and in a good mood. If the ear lies down, it means that it is in a bad mood at the moment, so don't mess with it at this time.

I felt very excited to see horses in person. Every horse is very exquisite. They train at 6 a.m. every morning, have a fixed bath time, eat time, etc.

This is what they wear when competing, and it must be worn because horses have amazing vision and can see almost 360 degrees around them. Therefore, they need to wear it to block the line of sight on both sides and let the horses focus on the front. And being a rider is also a very glorious and a very noble profession.

The souvenir shop in the visitor center is very rich and interesting, with clothes, hats, pens, etc. If you like it, you can buy it as a souvenir. This is only available here and cannot be bought anywhere else.

After the end, we went to the vineyard picking. The vineyard was very big. We picked a lot of grapes and then sat down to taste them slowly. The grapes are particularly fresh, sweet and sour, making it a relaxing day full of happiness.

about traffic

The one-day trip gathers at 9 a.m., and then the entire trip ends around 6 p.m. A day's journey is not tiring and fun.

Then it takes about one and a half to two hours to drive from the center of Guangzhou City to Conghua Racecourse, and you can also see many beautiful scenery along the road.

The racecourse is only a 5-minute drive from Xitou Village. It is very close. It takes about half an hour from the racecourse to the grape picking garden.

Tips for playing

Since the racecourse is not fully open to the public yet, you need to visit with a tour group!!!
