Day 1 - Discovery in Xushan

We’re kicking off our adventure in Xushan with a visit to the breathtaking Huizhou Ancient City, a place where we can see history come alive. As we stroll through the streets dotted with well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty structures, I bet you’d feel like you've traveled back in time. Don't worry, as we fuel up with some local street food treats before hiking up the magnificent Xushan Mountain. See those dense bamboo forests dancing with the breeze? It's quite the vision, isn't it? While we’re at it, brace yourself as we conquer the highest peak to feast on a panorama that'll make you understand why they call this place a 'hidden gem'. To round off the day, we’ll have an authentic Chinese dinner at a local eatery. From Peking duck to dumplings, who wouldn’t love Chinese food?

Day 2 - A Cultural Dive

Day two, my friends, will be all about diving deep into the culture of Xushan. We start with a visit to the storied Xushan Taoist Temple. Ever wondered about the rich tapestry of Chinese spirituality? This is your chance to get an up-close view. And wait until we discover Kuangshan Paper Factory. Yes, you read that right. A factory! It's not any factory, it's where one of Xushan's most exquisite traditional papers are made. Think of it as an artist's dream come true. Lastly, we're headed to the vibrant Xushan Night Market. Food, trinkets, souvenirs, you name it. Trust me, your senses are in for a treat!

Day 3 - A Nature’s Retreat

For our final day, we're trading the hustle and bustle for a serene retreat in nature. Our destination? The enchanting Dinghu Mountain Nature Reserve. Ever seen a waterfall that seems like it was taken straight out of a postcard? Get ready, because that's about to happen. Not to mention, animals! From macaques to vibrant birds, the nature lover in you will be spoiled silly. After a picnic lunch amidst this verdant paradise, we’ll head back to the city to catch the Xushan River Cruise. You know what they say - the best way to take in a city is from its river, why not end this 3-days trip with the finest river view?
