This itinerary is designed to whisk you away into the heart and soul of one of China's lesser-known gems, which is equally beautiful and fascinating.

Day 1 - Captivating Cultural Enlightenment

We kickstart our Xinyang getaway in the vibrant Nanwan district. Start the day with an indulgence of tasty local breakfast delicacies, that'll taste like love, wrapped in little steamed bundles. Then, immerse yourself at the Xinyang City Museum. Take a leisurely stroll around the exhibits, which tells the story of this city's rich history, and you'll feel like you're walking through the vibrant pages of a chronicle. In the afternoon, head towards the Tea Culture Park, where you'll breathe in the refreshing scent of fresh tea, and bid goodbye to any jet lag. Our day ends with some local shopping at the buzzing night market in the heart of the city, where the real fun is at conversing with the locals. It's not just a market, it's a gala of community living!

Day 2 - Spiritual Worship and Exotic Nature

Our second day takes us on a spiritual journey into the sacred mountains of Xinyang. We climb up the Mount Jigong, renowned for its rich biodiversity and stunning panoramic views. It feels as if a beautiful painting has come to life before our eyes, doesn't it? After soaking in the natural splendor, explore the age-old Jigong Shan Daoist Temple, that will take you back in time. Our day ends with a visit to the Huayuan Village, where the rustic charm and idyllic countryside landscapes are nothing short of a tear-page from a picture book. Get ready to relish on authentic homecooked meals and bid your hunger goodbye with a smile.

Day 3 - Splendid Lakeside and Closing Moments

On our final day, rejuvenated and relaxed, we head to Nanhai Park, a place to get lost in the scenic lakeside beauty. The playful calls of the birds echo across the lake, making the early morning visit worth it! Then sail across the Taiyang Lake on a boat. It's funny how time slows down when you're floating across the placid lake, under a sky that is a splash of orange and red, isn't it? Before heading off, we make our final stop at Taiyang Mountain. Enjoy the mesmerizing sunset, while soaking in the stunning bird's eye view of Xinyang as a heartwarming farewell! It's like we've walked into a natural painting that sears itself into memory, isn't it?
