Xitou Village

Xitou Village

Xitou Village is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Xitou Village is located in the northeastern part of Liangkou Town, Conghua District, Guangzhou City, and is one of the three main sources of the Liuxi River. The village is surrounded by beautiful scenery, with high mountains, dense forests, deep valleys, clear streams, oddly shaped rocks scattered around, and pools and ponds everywhere. As you enter the mouth of Xitou Valley, you are greeted by a small hill covered in lush forests and green bamboo, entwined with vines, presenting a vibrant green landscape. In the middle, there is a valley split open by a ravine, from which a silvery-white stream cascades down like a waterfall, plunging into a crystal-clear, shimmering deep pool below. The pool water is so clear that you can see the bottom, pristine and jade-like, with hues of green and blue, sparkling under the sunlight, while a cool breeze wafts through. The pool is surrounded by green hills, uniquely shaped rocks, and clusters of wildflowers, blending harmoniously with the surrounding scenery. It's an ideal destination for escaping the summer heat, exploring the valley’s source, and enjoying the natural beauty of Xitou. Nearby, there is the Xiyuan Mountain Villa, which offers comprehensive facilities for dining, accommodation, and entertainment. Public buses from Conghua Bus Station provide direct access to the village.

Known as "the most beautiful village in Guangdong Province," Xitou Village is also referred to as the "Village of Longevity" and the "Village of Beauties." Here, you can breathe in fresh, unpolluted air from nature and drink naturally sweet mountain spring water. The area is also abundant in fruit production. From March to April, it yields green plums, which are used to make fragrant and rich-tasting plum wine that helps cool the body and is beloved by visitors. From June to July, it produces Sanhua plums, known locally for their crisp skin, juicy flesh, large size, and refreshing taste — considered the best Sanhua plums in Guangdong, hence the nickname "Sanhua Plum Village." From September to October, persimmons are harvested here. These persimmons are very sweet and seedless, often made into dried persimmons by the villagers. From December to January, the village produces sugar oranges, which are sweet and delicious. Guests can even pick them themselves, ensuring freshness and great taste.

If you’d like to explore the area, there are several scenic spots to choose from: First, Xiyuan Valley, the source of the stream, is about a 10-minute walk from our inn. There is a natural pool where you can swim during hot weather. The water is cool and clean, making it a great place to escape the heat. Second, Huangchayuan (Yellow Tea Garden), located on the mountain behind our inn, is the third highest peak in Guangzhou, with an elevation of 1,135 meters. Hiking enthusiasts can choose this spot, with the round trip taking about four hours. From late March to April each year, the mountain is covered in blooming azaleas, offering breathtaking views. Third, the reservoir is less than 500 meters from our inn. On winter mornings, when mist rises, it feels like a fairyland on earth. Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy a relaxing time fishing here. Additionally, during the Spring Festival each year, thousands of acres of plum blossoms bloom here, covering the landscape in a sea of white, resembling a snowfall — truly beautiful.
