Xitou Village
溪头村
A Hakka village tucked into a valley in northeastern Conghua, known for boutique guesthouses, streams, bamboo groves and farmhouse cooking. It is a popular weekend rural escape from Guangzhou.
Xitou Village lies in a valley east of Liangkou Town in Conghua, surrounded by forest and streams. Many boutique guesthouses and farmhouse inns cluster in the village, which has been named a national key rural tourism village. You can stroll and cycle along the stream, and enjoy free-range chicken, bamboo-tube rice and stream snails. The Qianlonggou Great Waterfall is right nearby. It is a good place to spend a night, but book weekend guesthouses well in advance. Driving from central Guangzhou takes about 2 hours. The road into the village winds through the mountains, so take care in the rain.
