Recommended Two-Day, One-Night Itinerary
- Day 1 (Zen and Local Life): Arrive in Xinxing in the morning and head to Guoen Temple to see its historic buildings and pray for blessings; have lunch at a nearby farm-style restaurant, perhaps ordering lychee-wood-roasted chicken; in the afternoon, visit Huineng Square to enjoy its Tang-style setting; at dusk, explore Wenchang Bridge and Miaojie, take in the night views, and try olive-pit fried rice noodles and local snacks.
- Day 2 (Mountains and Caves): In the morning, choose between Cangfokeng and Panlong Cave according to your interests. The former is suited to hiking, breathing in the mountain air, and viewing streams and waterfalls, while the latter offers a chance to explore a karst cave.

Practical Travel Tips
- Transportation: Many of Yunfu's attractions are spread across mountainous counties, so driving is the most convenient way to connect them. Roads are generally in good condition, but there are many bends in the mountain areas, so slow down. If traveling by high-speed rail, get off at Yunfu East Railway Station, then take a taxi or shared ride to the attractions.
- What to Bring: Some cave cafés, such as Jiuxingyan Shansi Coffee, are in remote locations. The weather can be hot while hiking, so bring drinking water and sun protection. Windmill Mountain has a noticeable temperature difference between day and night, so a thin outer layer is recommended.
- Spending: Overall prices are relatively low, and many attractions, including Guoen Temple, Miaojie, and the Changgangan Slope Aqueduct, have no admission fee. Farm restaurants usually serve large portions, so order carefully when dining in a small group.
- Mosquito and Sun Protection: Mountain forests and wetland parks have dense vegetation, so carry mosquito repellent and a sun hat.
