This year, I haven't had time to travel far because of work. Seeing that autumn is over, I haven't gone to see the autumn colors. It's impossible to take time off. Where can I go during the weekend for two days? The goal was set in Guangxi, mainly because of the convenience of high-speed trains. I accidentally heard about Gongcheng. It was only two hours and ten minutes south of Guangzhou by the high-speed train, so I happily decided! In order to accommodate the time of each of the six people traveling, the departure date was set for the second weekend of December, so tickets were obtained in advance. I also went online to do my homework in advance. A week before my departure, a friend came back and said that all the persimmons had been picked. I heard that ginkgo trees in Haiyang Township were still in decline, and I was conflicted about whether to change the route. In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to "stay with it as it comes" and "everything is the best arrangement", waiting quietly for the departure...

I have never traveled far during the epidemic. Now that the epidemic has been effectively controlled in autumn, I finally have the idea to see the autumn scenery. I am too busy with work to take time off, so I only have two days to go out for a walk on the weekend.

On the road...

Everyone got up early in the morning on the day of departure. Six people rushed to the Humen High-speed Railway Station to transfer trains in Guangzhou South. I arrived early, and a few of them stepped into the station. They arrived in Guangzhou South in ten to twenty minutes. Nearly an hour's transfer time is too abundant, but goose...

I don't know why, and I don't dare to ask, but out of six people, only one stepped on the train and got on the bus. Five people, including me, missed the bus! At that time, my mind was blank, but the staff urged me to go to the window to change the ticket quickly! The latest train left ten to twenty minutes later and it was too late. I could only change it to the one more than fifty minutes later. Fortunately, the change was successful, but it wasted nearly an hour and there were no seats available.

The two-hour drive was really fast. Although there were no seats, I could always find an empty seat. After moving twice, I finally sat until Gongcheng got off the bus.

Gongcheng Hongyan persimmon tour

Because there are no car rental points in Gongcheng, the method of renting a car and driving cannot be implemented. When we left Gongcheng Station, there would naturally be many drivers soliciting passengers. We chose the chartered method of going to the county to eat Camellia oleifera hotpot first and then to Hongyan Village. We soon arrived at the county oil tea house first and joined Uncle C who arrived first. We had a happy lunch, and then I realized that I didn't take pictures when eating.

After dinner, we sneaked out of the Tea River for a stroll, and then the driver urged us and set off on the road to Hongyan Village.

Hongyan Village is not far from the county seat, less than half an hour's drive. Since it is already mid-December, I am worried that there are not many turtles in the village. On the way to the village, there is a small piece of persimmon forest opposite the gas station before entering the village. It is very nice. There is a sign saying "Stop for photos, 10 yuan for small cars, 20 yuan for large cars", but no one collects money. The persimmons are just right, all the leaves have fallen off, and the persimmons are very ripe. Some are nearly fully ripe and red. It can be seen that they should have been specially reserved for people to take photos, so it is unnecessary to worry about whether there are any persimmons before leaving. Due to time constraints, I parked in and took a few photos before continuing to enter the village.

Hongyan Village, which is crowded with tourists, is actually a newly developed modern rural area, backed by Shishan Mountain and facing Lianhua River

At the dam at the entrance of the village, tourists are jumping across the river on stone piers.

The Lianhua River runs through the village and overflows the gurgling stream on the road, showing its beauty. Pedestrians can swim through the water or follow the two rows of artificial "lotus piles", play in the water, or stroll, and the elderly and children can find fun.

A must-have for riverside villages in development-bamboo rafts for river tours.

I quickly entered the village. The village was not big. When I first saw these newly built and neat small houses, I estimated that the village was doing a good job relying on persimmon and tourism economy, giving a look like a new socialist countryside.

After crossing the water river (there is no need to wade in winter) and entering the old village, the small piece of persimmon behind the old village is not bad.

Since it is already mid-December, the scene of the persimmon ocean all over the mountains and plains can no longer be seen, but there is a persimmon forest at the head of the village that should be reserved for tourists. The persimmon is red and all the leaves are gone. It is time! I have been worried that the persimmon will be gone, but I never expected it to be the best time! At this time, the sun also rushed through the clouds in cooperation. It was still gray in the morning and doubted life. Happiness came a bit suddenly!

This area at the entrance of the village should be a persimmon forest specially reserved for photos

Patting a sweet girl

Remind yourself that shooting persimmon with telephoto is a must, and rubbing is second. Telephoto has the effect of compressing space, and the entire picture taken is persimmon far and wide.

Only after drilling into the persimmon forest did I discover that the persimmon trees were not tall, and the land was not as fertile as imagined, but the persimmon fruits were as numerous as stars and as big as fists. Soaked in a persimmon forest, I was "ignited" by the red for a moment. My heart was filled with surprise and my face was filled with laughter. Careful observation of each persimmon tree can always find individual crimson like blood, full of water, and charming

The dripping of ripe persimmons is extremely teasing about your taste and makes people swallow saliva, just as the circle of friends said,"drooling across the screen."

You will see many scenes of drying persimmons in the old village.

There are also century-old stormy bridges across the river, bamboo rafts scattered in the river, Yao girls wearing floral shirts, and persimmon stalls shouting hard...

This blood-red persimmon is a fruit that grows until it is ripe on the tree. It can be eaten immediately. This color alone is very attractive. It costs 5 pieces for 10 yuan, which is good but not expensive!

In addition to persimmons, peach gum is the most sold commodity in the scenic spots. The 10,000-acre peach blossom forest in Gongcheng is rich in peach gum, which is said to have the effect of beautifying and beautifying. The first thing for ladies is that cooked food is 5 yuan per bowl and dried food is 25-30 yuan per catty.

I met a very beautiful red leaf

After sweeping the village, the car didn't come. I walked up to the viewing platform behind the mountain to see the whole picture of the village. If those who spend the night in Hongyan Village can climb Matou Mountain to watch the sunset, the vision there should be better. We heard from the driver that there was a Ginkgo Village. After looking at the map, it was not far away and decided to go and have a look before dark.

Finally, let's have a panoramic view of Hongyan Village. It's so beautiful.

Hongyan Village is a good place, with beautiful mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery, delicious persimmons, and rice noodles that are never tired of eating..

At this point, the persimmon part of Gongcheng is over and ready to enter Ginkgo Village.

Beidongyuan Village, an unexpected harvest of golden autumn ginkgo

Beidongyuan Village is not far away, and it is also more than half an hour away. It is also the direction of the county seat and the same direction we go to Yangshuo. There was no suitable car in Hongyan Village, so I called the driver who came and negotiated the price, because the driver would not take an empty car into the village. After waiting for a while, I arrived in Ginkgo Village at five o'clock and there was no more sunshine.

It is said to be a Ginkgo Village, but in fact it is just a few ginkgo trees more than ten years old. They were planted by an old man. No tickets are charged, and a parking fee of a few yuan is given as appropriate. Although the ginkgo trees here cannot be compared with those old trees in Haiyang Township, at the right time, the leaves are very beautiful. It would be nice if I could catch the sun an hour earlier (which reminds me of the hour when I missed the train). Not much to say, above picture...

Take two photos

This one is lightly colored, it is very yellow and violent

The friends took photos crazily. It was only half past five. The sky was getting dark, and they had almost taken it. They got on the bus and left very satisfied.

During this trip to Gongcheng, persimmon from Hongyan Village was the main course. Unexpectedly, I received a good dessert-Beidongyuan Ginkgo biloba. There is still one day to visit Yangshuo tomorrow. I am happy thinking about it.

gongcheng County

In the evening, go to Gongcheng County to Yaohan Shoushou City ~ Experience the special Yaochi Yao bath

As the saying goes, look at the mountains, look at the water, and see Guilin. I spend a recuperation and vacation in Gongcheng. In addition to touring the mountains and enjoying the water, I heard from friends that the Yao medicinal baths here are very good. It is said that the Yao people have lived in the mountains and forests since ancient times, fighting against moisture in the forest every day, miasma and insect poison, creating traditional treasures of ethnic minorities such as Yao medicine and Yao bathing. The effects of health care and disease prevention and treatment are achieved by soaking in medicinal soup. The Yao Yao bath has also been selected into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List.

Arriving at Yaohan Yangshou City, the sky was already dark.

The most representative one is the "Sanpaoyao Medicine", which is a bath medicine bag divided into three intervals. It not only can deeply cleanse the skin, but also can beautify the skin, lose weight and lose weight. It can also promote sleep, promote maternal recovery, and regulate Heart function, etc.

Among them, the exclusive Yao bath for women-Honghua Soak Bath Powder is made from a variety of herbal medicines such as creeper, spatholobus stem, ground drill, black tiger, and Kuncao. It has the effect of dispelling wind and dispelling cold, nourishing blood and nourishing yin, and regulating liver and kidney. It is very helpful for many women's diseases.

The decoration is also very elegant, with a simple and natural style integrating ethnic minority elements.

Each compartment can facilitate interaction and ensure privacy, which is very reasonable. After soaking, you can also go to a traditional full-body SPA to relax and recuperate your body and mind.

Several of us in the same company experienced it ~ After finishing the Yao bath, we felt unspeakably relaxed, and we slept with fried chicken sticks that night ~

There is a hotel in Yaohan Longevity City, so you can come in directly after finishing it. Call Chajiang Art Mercure Hotel

Came to the room we booked ~ Because we booked a luxurious room, the space was very large, and the overall style was generous and simple. I fell in love with it instantly. The bedding is very clean, and the quilt smells of sunshine. It must have been freshly dried

The room was very spacious and cozy. The bathroom supplies are all available ~

When I came to the front desk today, I said that Yangshou City has eight free health care projects for new tourists, including free medical treatment for traditional Chinese medicine, health robot testing, teaching Wuqin Xi, medicine king praying activities, health care and tea repair, cultivation, and other health care projects. There are also free expert lectures

Have a good night's rest, you must try it tomorrow

free medical treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Participate in the Yaowang Praying Activity

This is high-tech inspection equipment. After a few minutes, you can detect the preliminary health status by putting your hands on the instrument.

Leisure Tour in Xingping, Yangshuo (Strolling blindly)

Laozhai Mountain is neither high nor short, but it is mainly steep. Climbing a mountain with a camera in front of dawn is really not easy. The feeling is comparable to that of Lianhua Lake and Dangling climbing on the plateau. In the previous picture, I took it when I came down and went back to the inn. The pavilion in the upper right corner is there. I don't know how I got there.

After thinking about it, it took about half an hour to climb the mountain. Since it was winter and we got up early, it was still dark when we reached the top of the mountain. There were only Uncle C and I on top. When climbing the mountain, I felt I was wearing too much clothing, and it became cold when I sat down on the top of the mountain. After sitting in the cold wind for a while, a person came up and thought it was a boy. When he got closer, he realized that it was a little girl with short hair. She climbed the mountain alone in the dark. I really admire it. It is said that she came alone on a green train from Nanjing to Guilin to have fun, a young man.

Slowly, the sky is getting brighter. Today's weather is too bad. It is gray and there is no sunrise (even if the weather is good, you can't see it. Laozhai Mountain is in the direction of sunset). There is no morning glow. It's over with a few hasty panoramic photos of Xingping.

The weather was bad, so it ended hastily.

After coming down the mountain, I called the other friends who had just gotten up and went to find food. When you come to Guilin, of course you will have Guilin rice noodles for breakfast! It tastes good!

After breakfast, I suggested going to Xingping Wharf to take a look at the background of RMB 20 and visit here. The weather is still gray enough to doubt life

After taking photos of the trip here, I didn't know how to arrange it next. Then for about half an hour, everyone sat on the edge of the Lijiang River Pier, each holding a mobile phone, and desperately looked at maps and strategies to see how to spend most of the day! At one time, they were discussing whether to change to an earlier train and go back earlier. In the end, Uncle C made a decisive decision. When he saw someone renting electric donkeys, he suggested renting electric donkeys to go around. He happily decided and negotiated the price. Three cars would cost 100 yuan, and set off without a time limit!

Xingping-Time is all used to pass

There is no clear destination. Anyway, we just walk along the river. The actual route is roughly like this. The end of the road is the dock below Jiumahua Mountain.

There weren't many buses along the way, and occasionally there were cyclists in twos and threes, which gave a very quiet and leisurely feeling. There are also some B & Bs along the way, some of which are quite new and distinctive. If you don't like the excitement, you can stay here.

Stop and walk, suddenly a ginkgo tree on the left side of the road flashed into view. It took a second to make a decision, slow down, look in the rearview mirror, turn on the direction light, make a sharp turn to the other side of the road, in one go, and then the friends behind also follow. It's here.

Three small electric donkeys gathered under the ginkgo tree

At this time, the sky also began to turn well in cooperation, and the sun came out! Everyone stopped to take photos of this ginkgo tree crazily!

After taking a round of photos, it was noon time, so I decided to eat here so that I could also enjoy the beautiful ginkgo tree. In fact, in addition to ginkgo, the environment here is also very beautiful.

Get a walking chicken under the ginkgo tree and make two self-grown vegetables. It's great! The boss has stayed in Zengcheng, Guangzhou for a long time. He can speak Cantonese and feels very cordial. I will give 100 points for this meal

Kill chickens and pick vegetables

I really enjoy this leisurely self-service feeling. I don't have to rush to any scenic spots. After dinner, I drank the Pu 'er tea made for us by the boss and watched the golden ginkgo leaves falling and dancing in the wind in the sun. It's so beautiful!

After enjoying a delicious lunch, continue to ride along the road, and soon you will reach the end-the ferry crossing below Jiumahua Mountain. People kept coming to marketing us to park our cars and tour the Li River, or go on the boat or to the other bank to see paintings and count horses. We really couldn't get interested in these, so we turned around and rode back. One or two nearby villages didn't have much to see, so we drove the electric donkey down the river beach by the Li River. The leaves of several trees on the other bank have turned red. The color looks very good in the sun, but the scale is smaller.

It was around four o'clock and he started to walk back. Back in the ancient town, there was no better place to go. I returned the car and wandered around Xingping Ancient Town again. I went back to the hotel to get my luggage and sit and rest, and then booked a car. The booked time for the train is 18:38. Xingping is very close to Yangshuo Station, which takes about ten to twenty minutes. I originally wanted to finish filming the sunset on the Lijiang River before leaving, but I was scared by the incident and didn't dare to be so calm. I booked the train at 5:15. Seeing that there was still some time, I still didn't give up and went down to the dock alone.

Haha! There are also sunsets, but there is no time, so I take a few pictures on my mobile phone...

Having picked up a sunset, I was satisfied. After getting on the car, I saw in the rearview mirror that the sunset behind the car was half the sky red. It was a pity that I didn't wait, but it was already perfect...

Arrived at Yangshuo Station in advance at 5:30. At this point, the two-day tour in Guangxi ended perfectly. The per capita cost was about 1000. Guangxi will definitely come again if there is a chance.
