I swear! This is really in Guangdong!
I swear! This is really in Guangdong!
As a native Southerner/Cantonese,
I dream of snow in winter, I dream of grasslands in summer. Now, without leaving Guangdong Province, a 3-hour drive from Guangzhou, a 4.5-hour drive from Shenzhen,
will take you straight to the longed-for grasslands!
The sky is vast, the field is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and reveals the cattle and sheep. With the high sky and light clouds above my head, and the lush green grass under my feet, whether scattered or clustered herds of cattle,
the dry summer breeze blows my hair, the green grass, and the surface of the water, people should stay in a place without a ceiling!
On the grassland, people and cattle share this greenery, I see the cattle burying their heads in their meals, the calves hiding behind stones for shade, the big cattle 'bathing' in the water in pairs, I really feel healed by the animals!
Besides enjoying the grassland scenery to the fullest, every casual photo is a masterpiece, this place is also a camping base, suitable for camping and wild cooking, whether for couples, friends, families, or team building.
Travel/Transportation tips:
1. Self-driving is recommended, as this place is quite remote. It's not convenient and also far to take a taxi from the high-speed train station. Besides, I have to say that although the scenery is beautiful, there is a section of bad road when driving in, full of big and small potholes to the point of collapse, so friends who come by car should pay attention to safety.
2. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, remember to apply sunscreen, it's very sunny with no cover! If you want to go deeper, wear sports shoes, the road conditions on the grassland are very 'primitive', and there are herds of cattle, so watch your step, otherwise, it's easy to step into 'cow dung' haha
3. Before going, I saw some people talking about the grass not being green. When I went, it was really green, I specifically avoided weekends, there were few people and the scenery was beautiful. So I recommend going in midsummer, although it will be very hot, but at that time the grassland is indeed the greenest and most beautiful.
4. The parking fee is 10 yuan/12 hours, but if you need to drive into the grassland for camping, it is 30 yuan.
5. Lastly, I want to say do not litter anywhere. If you are camping, please also take your trash with you when you leave. It's such a pity to see such a beautiful place being destroyed by humans. Moreover, this is not only our place of recreation but also the habitat of animals.
