Location & Transportation

Yixiu Farm, nestled along Jingtou Road in Guangzhou’s rural outskirts, feels like a hidden gem just a short trip from the city. To get there, hop on the metro to Jiangtai Station (Line 3), then grab a taxi or a local bus—it’s about 20 minutes from the city buzz. If you drive, punch “Jingtou Road” into your GPS; the farm has a free parking lot, which is a nice bonus!

Natural Scenery: A Breath of Fresh Air

At Yixiu Farm, nature steals the show. Think endless green fields, organic vegetable patches, and a tiny lake that reflects the sky like a mirror. Walk along their dirt trails, and you’ll spot dragonflies darting over lily pads or butterflies dancing around sunflowers (in season!). During sunset, the farm turns golden—perfect for Instagram shots. Bring bug spray, though; mosquitoes love the lush vibes too!

Get Your Hands Dirty: Farm Life Fun

Yixiu Farm isn’t just about pretty views. Roll up your sleeves for real farm activities! In spring, join cherry tomato-picking sessions or learn to plant rice seedlings. They’ve got DIY workshops too: try grinding soybeans into fresh tofu or stomping grapes for homemade wine. Even city slickers will feel like pros by the end—trust me!

Eat (and Shop) Like a Local

The farm’s restaurant serves up dishes made with their own veggies and herbs. Think crisp stir-fried kailan, smoky grilled eggplant, and silky tofu—all taste brighter than store-bought stuff. Save room for coconut tarts baked in a wood-fired oven. Before leaving, stop by their mini market: jars of honey, dried herbs, and handmade soaps make quirky souvenirs.

Chill Zones & Family-Friendly Vibes

Families, rejoice! Yixiu Farm has a shaded play area for kids, plus goats and ducks to feed. There’s a cozy pavilion where you can sip tea while watching rainstorms roll in (bring a light jacket; it gets windy). Toilets are clean, and Wi-Fi works in the main areas—a rarity in such a rustic spot!

One Perfect Day at Yixiu Farm

Morning: Arrive by 9 AM to beat the heat. Join a guided tour of the organic gardens; the guide explains how they grow without chemicals.

Noon: Lunch at the farmhouse. Order the “farmer’s set meal”—it’s a feast of seasonal dishes.

Afternoon: Sign up for a workshop (tofu-making is fun!) or just lounge by the lake with a book. Kids will love chasing chickens.

Sunset: Wander back to the entrance as the sky turns pink. Pro tip: Weekdays are less crowded than weekends!

Why You’ll Love Yixiu Farm

It’s the best of both worlds: close enough to Guangzhou for a day trip, but far enough to feel like an escape. Whether you’re a foodie, nature lover, or parent needing a break, Yixiu Farm’s blend of activity and relaxation hits the spot. Just remember: Wear comfy shoes, bring cash (some stalls don’t take cards), and don’t miss the lemongrass ice tea—it’s legendary!
