Shenzhen: Zengcheng Grape Picking & Forest Private Day

Swap Shenzhen's skyscrapers for a gentle countryside day in Zengcheng, often called 'Guangzhou's little Jiuzhaigou'. After a comfortable hotel pickup, your private vehicle and English-speaking guide drive you out to the green hills, streams and orchards on the city's doorstep.

Your first stop is Baijianghu Forest Park, a cool, leafy retreat of little brooks and clustered waterfalls. To keep things easy, you ride up to the top and follow a gentle, shaded boardwalk back down through dense forest, no strenuous climbing, just dappled light, the white noise of running water, fresh ion-rich air and the chance to spot waterfalls and a butterfly-filled valley along the way. It's a relaxing, beginner-friendly stroll suitable for all ages.

Next you head to charming Zhengguo Old Street to taste the town's beloved wontons, a tasty, authentic local lunch. Then it's on to a family eco-farm in Pantan town, set among clean water and fertile soil, where you can wander the vines and pick your own naturally ripened grapes to take home.

Throughout the day you travel privately with just your own party, so the pace stays comfortable and you can linger wherever you like. In the early evening you'll be driven back to your Shenzhen hotel, arms full of fresh fruit, after a laid-back taste of authentic Guangdong countryside life far from the city crowds.

Relaxed private day from Shenzhen to Zengcheng: stroll the waterfall-dotted Baijianghu forest, taste famous wontons on Zhengguo Old Street and pick your own grapes. Guide, car and lunch included.
