Last year, Greater Bay Area's brothers became very popular, and Guangdong, which has covered 82% of Greater Bay Area's beautiful scenery by one province alone, is still keeping a low profile.
When you come to Guangdong, there are not only prosperous Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai, but also yachts in Hailing Island, fishing in xunliao bay, or strolling along the beautiful coastline of Nan 'ao Island.
You can also stroll around the streets of Chaozhou Old Town for a whole day, or go to the Millennium Yaozhai to return to the original. There are also those poetic and simple fishing villages in Lingnan, which are also very worth seeing ...
It's time-bound, and I didn't know what was slow until I arrived in Guangdong.
Guangdong has not only the second longest Pearl River in China, but also the longest coastline in China. After all, the great Maritime Silk Road was born in Guangdong.

Xun (xùn) Liao (liáo) Bay has clear waters and pure beaches, which are rare in China.
Shuangyue Bay consists of two half-moon bays, Daya Bay with a mirror-like sea on the left and Red Bay with surging waves on the right. The waves carved the rocks in various ways and were full of poetry.
delta island is the first private island with legal property rights in China. It doesn't have the luxury of an island and a hotel in Maldives, but it is also known as the "Maldives of China" because of its superior seascape.
Hailing Island has been ranked as the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands in China" in chinese national geography, and is known as the "South China Sea Fish Warehouse". About 7.6 kilometers of "Shili Silver Beach" on the island is most suitable for chasing sand and waves. Dajiaowan, the westernmost corner of the island, is the best place to watch the sunset, and the "ponytail sunset" is also a famous landscape of Hailing Island.
Nan 'ao Island is certified by CCTV as "an oasis in the South China Sea" and also known as "the Oriental Hawaii at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong". There are many lighthouses of various colors and shapes on the island, and there are beautiful scenery around the sea highway.
besides the vast sea, Shan Ye is also a feature of Guangdong. Here, there are natural landscapes that don't lose Guilin and Zhangjiajie.
Zhaoqing has a history of more than 2,2 years, with a forest coverage rate of 7.56%. It is also known as the "Emerald on the Tropic of Cancer". The "mountains, lakes, cities, rivers, canyons and waterfalls" here blend together, so it's really refreshing to take an oxygen.
Xinghu Lake is about the same size as West Lake. Boating on the lake, there are vast smoke waves, and lakes and rocks are interlaced, which has different beauty. Seven-star rock, which stands on the top of Xinghu Lake, is known as "the first wonder of Lingnan" because of its poetic and picturesque karst lava landform reflected on the lake.

Take the cableway straight to Feiyunting, and if you are lucky, you may encounter the most beautiful sea of clouds in Guangdong.
Danxia Mountain in Shaoguan has been selected into the United Nations World Heritage List. Anyone who comes here and sees its charm with his own eyes will almost be impressed by it. Yangyuanshi, the "first wonder in the world", and Yinyuanshi, the "first wonder in China", are the must-punch classics here.
if you want to really get close to a place, you must take a walk in the old city and ancient villages.
Most of the ancient cities in Guangdong are well-preserved, and most of the ancient villages of ethnic minorities are located between mountains and rivers, with a strong Lingnan flavor.
Chaozhou, an ancient city with a history of thousands of years, is famous for its beef. Ancient archways, ancient houses, ancient wells and ancient temples abound on both sides of quaint streets and lanes. Some people say that "it's a waste of time to go to the tide," and you won't know its true taste until you've been there.
The Millennium Yao Village in Nangang, which is located in Liannan, Qingyuan, was founded in the Song Dynasty and is called the first Yao Village in China. There are nearly 4 ancient houses and buildings built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which have a primitive and quaint atmosphere.
"Kaiping Diaolou and Village", as the 35th World Heritage Site in China, is listed in the United Nations World Heritage List. The existing 1,833 watchtowers are unique and beautiful against the surrounding villages, rice fields, small bridges and flowing water, and blue sky and white clouds. The rich overseas Chinese culture here is also an experience that Guangdong can't miss.
Delicious is the biggest feature of Guangdong, which is beyond doubt. Guangdong people not only believe in hard work to win, but also can be called the best in the world when eating.
Even Su Dongpo, a foodie, said, "Three hundred lychees a day, and you don't hesitate to grow up to be a Lingnan person". Eating in Guangdong, I don't want to leave when I come.
The streets are full of mouth-watering delicious food. I wish every family would be handed down from generation to generation.
Especially in those places near the sea, you can realize the freedom of seafood in minutes.
There are roast goose in Guangzhou morning tea, raw fish in Shunde, seafood in the river and Shunde dishes, beef hot pot and beef balls in Chaoshan, and even Zhanjiang has attracted two food documentaries, A String of Life and China on the Tip of the Tongue.
