2025 Longgang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

While collecting keys for an abandoned Evergrande property, I detoured to Pacao (now under Longgang City's jurisdiction). The fishing port was quiet during the moratorium, and my old friends with Pacao roots were away. Locals told me about Fangchengdi - an ancient fortress built here earlier than Jinxiang Guard City during coastal anti-piracy campaigns. Explored the ruins, anti-piracy murals, and cultural hall on a leisurely walk.

This is Longgang's new landmark, just over an hour's drive from Wenzhou city. As soon as you arrive, you'll be immersed in a vacation atmosphere. Every photo you take will be amazing, and your posts will blow up on social media. Your friends will think you're traveling abroad! I highly recommend METO Boutique Hotel! The 5 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the Tiffany-blue pool are super popular, and weekend bookings are full until the end of August. The hotel only has 11 rooms in total, making for a very comfortable stay. The pool water is very clean, and you can even see underwater robots at work. You can take great photos with just a selfie stick, and the lazy vacation vibe is off the charts! There's an outdoor go-karting area where adults and children alike can have a blast 😎 It's so cool! When the kids get tired of playing in the water, they can also go to the indoor children's playground 🛝 This is the ultimate family getaway. Here are a few tips for you: 💙 There's a lighthouse nearby that's perfect for taking photos 💙 The view of the pool from the second floor is really beautiful 💙 Remember to bring a big sun hat, it looks great in photos 💙 No need to bring a drone, the view from the second floor platform is amazing Still wondering where to go this weekend?

Chasing the poetry and distance of the south of the Yangtze River, this time, I had an unexpected encounter with Wenzhou. I will take everyone into this low-key yet charming city. Schedule: Depart on Friday night and return to Beijing on Sunday night. Transportation Guide: ✈️ Depart from Beijing on a 21:00 flight on Friday evening, arriving in Wenzhou; on Sunday evening, take the 19:30 return flight back to Beijing. 🚄 Alternatively, take the high-speed train to Pingyang Station, then take a 15-minute taxi ride to Aojiang Wharf. Accommodation Recommendations: Friday: Longxin Business Hotel next to Aojiang Wharf, convenient for taking the boat the next day, priced at 160 yuan/night (for two people). Saturday: Pingyang Muhairenjia near Sanpanwei, with an excellent view of the sunrise, priced at 380 yuan/night (for two people). Travel Route: Two days and one night: Aojiang Wharf → Nanji Island → Houlong Cave Hotel → Verbena Flower Sea → Dashaoao Beach (sunset) → Sanpanwei (sunrise) → Baizhangji → Mochi Park → Return trip. If time permits, add a third day to the itinerary: Yandang Mountain → Nanxi River or Pengxi Village → Jiangxin Islet. Must-visit spots: Sanpanwei: The meadow intertwines with the sea, and the sunrise scenery is intoxicating. Dashaoao: Shell beach, even more romantic at sunset. Houlong Cave Hotel: Zhejiang's 'Santorini', with a strong exotic atmosphere. Baizhangji: The number one waterfall in China, feel the majestic water momentum. Mochi Park: Lush and green, a model of Chinese garden art. Yandang Mountain: The famous mountain by the sea visited three times by Xu Xiake. Pengxi Village: Wild waterfalls, as if entering a world of immortals and martial arts. Nanxi River: A real-life version of 'Only This Green', the emerald green pool water is as poetic as it is picturesque. Warm Tips: To go to Nanji Island, you need to take a boat, about a 2-hour voyage, it is recommended to buy tickets online in advance. You don't need to stay at the internet-famous cave hotel to take photos. The island has convenient public transportation, and you can also choose to charter a car or take a taxi. It's better to travel on sunny days, and the photos will turn out better. It's more labor-saving to enter Baizhangji from the north gate, and there is a lot of water mist at the waterfall when exiting from the south gate, please take precautions against moisture. Let's step into Wenzhou together this weekend and experience a different style of the south of the Yangtze River!🌿
