In winter, some people want to see the snow, so they go all the way to the north, chasing the season with snow, and some people just want to find a warm place like spring, looking at the scenery under the warm sun, and taking a walk in a daze.
Hot springs, sea water, festivals, folklore ......When the temperature in the country gradually turns colder, let's go to Guangdong to spend a warm winter together, which is good.
Introduction to the city. After the failure of the n+1st winter, Guangdong finally ushered in a stepped cooling under the influence of a new round of strong cold air.
In the face of this hard-won winter limited experience, Cantonese people took out the down jacket pressed at the bottom of the wardrobe, arranged a side stove for themselves, and planned with friends a sense of the highest ritual of wintering in Guangdong - hot springs.
Jumping into the pool with a thud, leaning comfortably against the edge of the pool, watching the heat fill the entire water. This kind of leisure is the last obsession of Cantonese people for winter.
Guangdong is very rich in hot spring resources, second only to Yunnan in total, ranking third in the country. It is concentrated in Shaoguan, Qingyuan and Heyuan in northern Guangdong, Yangjiang and Yunfu in western Guangdong, and Guangzhou (Conghua and Zengcheng), Zhuhai, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing in the Pearl River Delta. Meizhou and Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong also have a small distribution.
As the officially certified "Hot Spring City of China", Qingyuan is the preferred hot spring holiday destination for many Cantonese people.

A variety of characteristic resorts, in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many kinds of hot springs. Milk pools, aromatherapy pools, rice wine pools, angelica pools, honeysuckle pools, ......
It is said that Cantonese people are good at making soup for health, but the people here are ruthless, and even they are "cooked".
Leisure and vacation health one-stop, Qingyuan has long been very skillful. And the pride of this piece of "the famous landscape of Wuzhou" has overflowed in the endless wave of team building and vacation.
However, the label of hot springs is far from representing Qingyuan.
In addition to the city of hot springs in China, Qingyuan is also the hometown of drifting in China, the national garden city, the livable city of China, the hometown of dragon boats in China, the city of photography in China, the hometown of stone in China, and the ......city of ecological poetry in China
Qingyuan, which has been established for 36 years, actually has a lot of things you don't know.
As the prefecture-level city with the largest land area in Guangdong Province, Qingyuan has many mountains and hills. Therefore, going to Qingyuan and seeing the mountains is a thing not to be missed.

There is also the only peak forest veranda in Guangdong, Yingxi Peak Forest, which is called "Little Three Gorges" by people in the rivers and lakes. Thousands of limestone peaks, stretching for more than 20 kilometers, are extraordinary.
The beauty of Qingyuan is also in the culture, Yaojia song and dance, Hakka customs, and Cantonese culture are blended and symbiotic here, adding the charm of time to the beautiful landscape of Qingyuan.
