Huizhou: West Lake & Su Dongpo Private Day Trip

Follow the footsteps of the legendary Song-dynasty poet Su Dongpo on this easygoing private day tour from Guangzhou to the charming city of Huizhou. With hotel pickup, a private car and your own English-speaking guide, the day is relaxed, cultural and full of great food.

Begin at the Su Dongpo Shrine, the poet's former residence in Huizhou, where you connect with one of China's most beloved literary figures and sense the scholarly spirit that still surrounds the site. Your guide brings his story and poetry to life.

Next, enjoy a leisurely local lunch at a Su Dongpo-themed restaurant, tasting the famous braised Dongpo pork and the intangible-heritage Hakka salt-baked chicken - two dishes deeply tied to the region.

After lunch, take a gentle stroll along the scenic shores of Huizhou West Lake. Walk an easy lakeside path past two lakes, two bridges and a causeway, including the Su Causeway linked to the poet himself. The setting is peaceful and picturesque, perfect for unhurried photos.

In the late afternoon, drive to Gaobang Hill (originally 'Examination List Hill,' named for wishes of academic success). Enjoy a relaxed walk up easy stepped paths to Guabang Pavilion, home to a statue of Confucius, with lovely views over West Lake and Red Flower Lake below.

The entire day stays comfortable and scenic, with light walking rather than demanding hiking. After soaking in Huizhou's culture and cuisine, you are driven back to your hotel in Guangzhou.
