Recently, a guideline was issued to promote the high-quality development of the Nankun Mountain-Luofu Mountain Pioneer Area, outlining measures to transform the area into an ecological garden within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a world-class forest hot spring health resort, a model for the modernization of Lingnan-style counties, towns and villages, and a pilot zone for integrated urban-rural development. What makes this pioneer area special? Just explore the answers in the famous mountains.
Let's venture into the splendid Luofu Mountain to seek the legacy of Su Dongpo, the most preeminent and legendary Chinese poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Starting from Boluo, Huizhou, visitors can ascend the First Mountain of Lingnan—Luofu Mountain, enjoying the spectacular landscape described in the poetry of Su Dongpo. Thereafter, along one of the most beautiful tourist roads, you will arrive at the "oasis in the Tropic of Cancer"—Nankun Mountain. Here you can experience local homestay tourism, allowing your body and mind a well-deserved break.
Let's taste the frozen dormant lychees while enjoying rare hot springs. The pioneer area includes the world-renowned hot spring destination—Conghua, which is famous for its Asia's only—and one of the world's two—soda hot springs containing radon. The "Conghua Hot Spring Culture and Tourism Festival" is currently in full swing, offering visitors a chance to soak in hot springs while enjoying the local lychees, which have been preserved through cutting-edge ultralow temperature freezing technology— enabling the fruit to "sleep" until it "wakes up" in the winter. You can poetically declare, "If I were to consume lychees with abandon daily, I would unhesitatingly choose to remain a Lingnan person forever."
