Huizhou accommodation from AU$85

Get a taste of the high life in Huizhou, which is one of the richest and most architecturally pleasing cities in the region. As you tour through luxury housing developments full of Porsches and Ferraris stop in at the designer shopping malls for some of the best fashion in China. The West Lake complex is a great place for a picnic lunch or an afternoon in the park. Not to be confused with the park of the same name in Hangzhou, in Huizhou the complex has beautiful 17th century pagodas, superb gardens and is ideal for a relaxing retreat by the water.

If you're looking for beaches, Xunliao Bay is perfect. Clean and clear water combines with clean, pure sand to make for an ideal day on the coast. Daya Bay is another fantastic stop, where you can find over 100 islands and reefs just offshore, and an unspoilt and quiet paradise for beach lovers. For some blissful relaxation try the seashore hot springs which are full of geothermal minerals and offer steaming water at almost 70 degrees Celsius. Unwind and soak away any stress, or take a break from the city and explore the Yongji Ecological Garden. If you're an animal lover, you can't miss the Gangkou National Turtle Protection Area where you can learn all about these majestic animals, as well as seeing firsthand China's current conservation efforts.

Visit the Pinghai Ancient City which was founded in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It's considered a living fossil of Chinese history, and is the best place to see traditional architecture, artefacts and antiques. Don't miss the local ethnic food at the Lantian Yao Ethnic Minority Group Flavour Garden, or visit the traditional fishing village of Dongsheng for some fantastic seafood as you see how the local fishermen make their living. If you're looking for something adventurous try the hike to the summit of Elephant Head Mountain. It sits 1023m above sea level and offers a spectacular panorama to every hiker that reaches the top.
