Zengcheng, a good choice for parent-child travel around

The crisp autumn season is especially suitable for taking children outdoors to breathe the fresh air, feel the beauty of autumn, and relax their nervous mood.

After searching a lot of information, I found that Pitan in Zengcheng, Guangzhou is not only surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, but also rich in delicious food. The local B & Bs are not only suitable for children, but each one is full of characteristics.

It takes an hour's drive to reach it. It is a good choice for hiking and lung cleaning.

Walking, foraging, taking photos, embracing nature, let's go!

There are many delicacies in Paitan Town, Zengcheng. In addition to Zhangdongkeng lychee, Chinese cabbage heart, silk seedling rice, and Paitan jelly grass, there is also a little-known delicacy-gaizai powder.

In order to taste the delicious freshly baked gaizi powder, we drove off at 8 a.m. to eat for food and check in on the time-honored Da Banyan gaizi powder in Paitan.

I have read a lot of introductions about gaizi powder before, and this food can be said to be a household name in Paitan.

We followed the navigation to the Da Banyan Gaizi Powder on Paitan Renmin Street. Parking around was easy, and we could feel the old street style here as soon as we got off the bus.

Because we came early, we could appreciate the making process of gaizai flour. We saw the master scooping up the rice paste and pouring it into the gaizai, then placed the bamboo cover on boiling hot water and waited for the flour to steam. When the steaming stove was turned on again, the white rice paste had turned into a thin rice flour under the high temperature.

Lift up the rice flour, fold it into a rectangle, cut it into small pieces, pour it with pure peanut oil and soy sauce, and a delicious gaizi powder is baked.

The gaizai powder tastes smooth and tough. It not only retains the strong rice aroma, but also has the bamboo aroma. It is so delicious that it turns around!

Zengcheng has many specialties, so when we passed through the Paitan Market after eating Da Banyan Gai Zi Powder, we decided to take a walk in the Paitan Market and bring some delicious specialties to share with our family.

Paitan Market is spacious and bright, divided into agricultural and sideline products, fruits, rice, seafood, meat and vegetable areas.

When it comes to food, many people know that Zengcheng has four treasures. Among the four treasures, lychee, silk seedling rice, and jelly grass, you may be relatively familiar. In fact, one of the four treasures is Wulan.

Wulan is rich in nutrients and is full of treasures throughout the body. Recently, it is just the time for Wulan to mature. The whole body of Wulan is a treasure: the olive meat can be eaten fresh, and can also be processed into olive horns, olive cups or pressed oil; the Terminalia can be used as a dish and a good ingredient for snacks; the olive core is the raw material for making high-quality activated carbon and olive carving, and the olive carving process has a history of more than 300 years.

This time I bought Wulan at Paitan Market without any effort. I am so happy!

Commodity prices in the market are more approachable than those in the urban area. Many friends who come to Zengcheng to visit will start a buying model before returning home, purchasing fruits, vegetables and agricultural and sideline products, and returning home with a full load.

We learned that Lao's honey passion fruit in Hanhu Village, Paitan, Zengcheng was in season. In order to taste the unique flavor of passion fruit and share it with our family, we decided to take the siblings to Lao's passion fruit picking orchard, allowing children to breathe the taste of soil in the air and feel the joy of picking it with their own hands.

Walking into the passion fruit garden, the green passion fruit garden is set against the blue sky and white clouds.

Rows of neat passion fruit vines are covered with heavy passion fruits. Each round and full passion fruit exudes an alluring fragrance and fills the nasal cavity, making people linger.

Picking passion fruits is not difficult, so the children enjoy the picking process and enjoy it.

The pace of life is usually fast and busy. Taking advantage of the opportunity of parent-child travel, we can finally give the children high-quality companionship. Accompanying the children for more walks, seeing more of the outside world, increasing their knowledge of what they have seen and heard, and experiencing happiness that they have never experienced before. The parent-child relationship will also heat up.

Picking and eating now is the best way to taste passion fruits, and it is also the best way to reap the joy of labor.

We use a special fruit opener to open the passion fruit. The golden peel is filled with juice and crisp and tough flesh. The grains are full and the color is very attractive.

The passion fruits that I usually eat are slightly sour, but Uncle Lai's passion fruits do not need to add honey. They are eaten directly with a spoon, and the sweetness reaches the heart of my heart one bite after another!

In addition to the taste being sweeter than ordinary passion fruits, honey passion fruits also have a higher moisture content, and the taste level is very rich when eaten in the mouth.

200 meters away from Lao Lao Lai Passion Fruit Garden is Hengdi Jiabao Orchard.

I originally thought of picking gabao fruits here, known as the "black diamonds growing on trees", and the most are from November to April every year. However, since it is not the season now, we have lunch here and taste papaya and fig soaked chicken.

Sitting here to eat has a unique flavor. Looking around, the blue sky, white clouds and fruit trees complement each other, like a beautiful rural picture.

The stocked walking chickens are full of exercise. It takes less than half an hour from chicken selection to dipping them on the table, and they are fresh enough.

There is no need for too much cooking techniques, and natural ingredients create good taste.

The chicken soup absorbs the essence of papaya and the sweetness of figs. The meat of the chicken is firm and even the skin is refreshing!

The store's red shallots and soy sauce is the key to the finishing touch. The aroma of peanut oil can be fragrant, and a gentle dip can bring the delicious flavor of the chicken to the extreme.

Falling in love at first sight is my feeling about Wuxiang Shiwu Boutique B & B.

Some time ago, I saw my friends sharing their experience in the Stone House in my hometown in their circle of friends. I was impressed by the exquisite and historical heritage of the stone house, so we booked the accommodation here for this parent-child tour in Zengcheng.

Wuxiang Shiwu is located in Dengcun Village, Paitan Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City. When you come by car, you must report the check-in information with the housekeeper before you can enter the gate. You feel very safe.

The Wuxiang Shiwu Boutique B & B in front of you is restored and rebuilt from an ancient Hakka village. The ancestral hall, carved building, courtyard, blue bricks and brown tiles, carved eaves and other features are preserved intact. The historical charm of more than 180 years is vividly expressed.

Walking here is like traveling through time and space.

Green mountains, bamboo forests, pastoral areas, ponds, rivers, orchards blend with natural mountains and rivers to form vivid pictures, and people seem to be walking in the pictures.

Liuxi Pavilion Guest Room

Liuxi Pavilion Room is very suitable for families with two children like us. The room is spacious and comfortable, with an antique decoration.

Vintage elements such as wooden windows and wooden doors can allow children to have a deeper understanding of what houses were like in the past.

The facilities in the room are very complete. Capsule coffee machines, red wine, and drinks are all carefully prepared for the guests, and all of them are included in the room rate, so that you can enjoy the vacation with a drink.

The bathroom is a return to simplicity design with gray cement walls. The B & B carefully provides bath salts, rose petals, ginger slices, honeysuckle and other bathing supplies. Turn on the faucet and put in a jar of pool water. Soak in it, the annoyance and tiredness of life will gradually disappear.

Although this place is called a "boutique B & B", after staying in "Wuxiang Stone House", I discovered that the services and facilities here are no less than five-star hotels.

Whenever you run into staff members face to face, they always say hello warmly and friendly.

Whenever room service is needed, they will help as soon as possible.

Walking around this Kejiawei Village building complex, it feels like a treasure hunt.

Fangkun Bookstore, Shepherd Boy Bookstore, Shanquan Swimming Pool, Zhuming Tea House, Shanyu Coffee House, Gym, KTV, home theater, chess and card room, star-watching rooftop, etc. are scattered here, creating a unique Hakka living style.

In such a rare urban paradise, there are original rural customs and a strong artistic atmosphere everywhere. Every minute and second of staying in Wuxiang Stone House is so fulfilling and meaningful, because wonderful activities are arranged for guests from morning to night, and most of them are free!

Fangkun Bookstore

As soon as you enter Fangkun Bookstore, you may not help but take a pen and write a post on your desk.

The study room is quietly and elegantly designed to isolate itself from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The Four Treasures of the Study Room and the Da 'an Table sit in the center, with paintings hung with pen and ink, and the furniture decorated with simple and elegant colors is decorated with different books, just right.

Children can also paint here and record the wonderful journey with colorful brushes.

This is a children's space where children can entertain and educate. Here, they can do traditional handicrafts, play puzzle games, read picture books, or have a parent-child "football match" or "billiards match."

In the Zen atmosphere created by books, paintings, and tea, quietly sip a cup of tea, watch the tea leaves slowly stretch in the water, and then taste it carefully. Just like our life, the bland and tasteless atmosphere is the most authentic feeling.

The mountain spring swimming pool in Shiwu in my hometown uses pure creek spring water. The swimming pool is infinitely connected to the mountain spring pond. It swims under the lush bamboo forest, full of the poetry of tranquility and long-term.

Wuxiang Shiwu Boutique B & B has a lot of parent-child experience projects and is particularly playable.

There are many projects such as feeding small animals, horse riding, grinding soy milk, DIY snacks, making marshmallows, feeding chickens and picking eggs, mud football, farm picking, watching the sunrise on the roof of the gunbuilding, and leisurely fishing. As long as the time is arranged reasonably, you can take your children to play every project and experience the fun of childhood that is completely different from life in a big city.

After nightfall, you can also have a dream "Fairy Stick Night" in the stone house of my hometown.

In an instant, it was as if I were in the midst of a lively celebration of the Spring Festival.

For different seasons, the B & B will also provide seasonal farming experience activities, such as harvesting rice in autumn, transplanting rice in spring, digging sweet potatoes, picking lychees, etc.

Reading thousands of books also requires thousands of miles. I believe that these beautiful memories of parent-child travel will be deeply imprinted in children's minds, injecting different nutrients into their spirit and soul.

The delicious food in Paitan Town, Zengcheng, never disappoints. This time, I tasted many delicious food in Shiwu, my township.

Hakka tofu

The tofu in Paitan Town, Zengcheng, is particularly tender and smooth, which is inseparable from the good local mountains and rivers.

Before I could react, the tender and smooth tofu had slipped from my mouth into my throat, but the aroma of beans lingered in my mouth.

Steamed loofah with garlic

Fresh ingredients often only require simple cooking methods, and the same is true for this steamed towel gourd with garlic.

There are no miscellaneous seasonings. Simply steaming, you can taste the fresh and sweet taste of loofah.

Sweet and sour pork

I am a person who has a special liking for sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour taste is especially good with rice. The proportion of fat and lean is just right. It is not greasy or stale in the mouth. It is crispy and soft glutinous.

Although I only spent 2 days in Paitan Town, Zengcheng, the local food really deeply captured the heart of every foodie.

Fortunately, at the front desk of Shiwu in my hometown, you can purchase accompanying gifts such as Zengcheng Pitan jelly and Pitan white tea. What is even more surprising is that after checking out, the staff also delivered farm-grown papaya to the guests in each room. It is quite hospitable.

Paitan jelly grass has the characteristics of thick leaves, young branches, black and shiny color, and is rich in viscose. The "jelly cake" made with it is transparent ink-brown and has a special aroma. It is smooth and delicious when mixed with syrup. It is an ideal food for clearing heat and relieving heat in midsummer. Liangfen grass can also be used as medicine. It is cool in nature and sweet in taste. It can prevent and treat heatstroke, colds, and high blood pressure. It also has a certain effect on joint pain.

Paitan White Tea is slightly bitter at the mouth, and feels sweet in the mouth after drinking it. It has the effects of cooling off heat, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is easy to pick, simple to make, cheap and cheap. It is an ordinary farmhouse tea, and every household in Paitan has liked to drink it throughout the ages.

Zengcheng, with tall and dense forests, clear and rolling streams, clear skies and white skies, and a quiet and cool climate, is a truly named "forest oxygen bar".

It takes an hour to drive to Paitan Town, Zengcheng, on weekends or short holidays. Have a delicious, fun and good tour around!
