The Huizhou Multi Day Tours
Huizhou, where we are located, was a key centre of ink calligraphy and painting in China due to its brush-making and inkstone production! Huizhou also has a long and rich cultural history that was important to China’s development during the Ming & Qing Dynasties. Not only were important trade routes established, but China’s first powerful migrants came from the area, running some of China’s largest businesses!!! Wealth was brought home, culture developed, and today you can see this firsthand on your trip. Tours can be tailored somewhat based on your skill and comfort levels, and can either be self-supported or supported with a Van. Contact our wechat service account or email info@wildhomestay.com for more information and pricing. We are currently offering three Huizhou Tours:
