Lufeng City
A coastal county-level city in eastern Guangdong, where the ancient Xuanwu Mountain temple, the old town of Jieshi and seaside beaches combine Chaoshan and maritime flavors.
Lufeng lies in the east of Shanwei, Guangdong Province, facing the South China Sea to the south, with a long coastline and folk culture similar to the Chaoshan region. The Yuanshan Temple on Xuanwu Mountain in Jieshi Town is a famous old temple in eastern Guangdong, with incense burning in abundance. Along the coast, beaches such as Jinxiang Beach offer sea views, and the local seafood and traditional folk events are distinctive too. The weather is comfortable from autumn and winter through spring, while summer is good for the seaside but typhoons need watching. The Xiamen–Shenzhen high-speed railway has a station in Lufeng, linking to Shenzhen and the Chaoshan area.
