Honghua

Tucked away in the stunning landscapes of Guilin, Honghua Village, also known as Red Crag Village, beckons with its unique charm. Honghua isn’t your typical ancient village. It’s a relatively new eco-tourism village, established in 2002 and opened to the public in 2003. The government played a key role in its development, resulting in over 80 villas and numerous restaurants. Imagine strolling through Honghua, surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside. The air is fresh, carrying the scent of blooming flowers and lush vegetation. The picturesque Lingnan rural charm captivates your senses. The Lotus River gently flows through the heart of Honghua, its clear waters reflecting the verdant bamboo trees lining its banks. This idyllic setting offers a perfect spot for rafting and leisurely relaxation. Honghua has become a model for rural tourism, attracting over 1.5 million visitors. One of the unique features of Honghua is its proximity to Gongcheng’s largest pollution-free fruit production base. Picture yourself wandering through the Liantangling pollution-free standard cultivation demonstration base, surrounded by rows of fruit trees laden with ripe, delicious fruits. Honghua also boasts a rich cultural heritage. Centuries-old persimmon trees stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. Remnants of ancient buildings, plaques, and even ancient horse trails whisper stories of the past. The village’s connection to the moon persimmon industry adds another layer to its identity. Honghua has hosted 17 Persimmon Festivals, celebrating the local delicacy. Imagine the vibrant atmosphere during the festival. The air is filled with laughter and music as visitors participate in a variety of activities, from fishing and farming to fruit picking and water entertainment.
