It must have been over a decade since I last climbed Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain. What was it like to spend a night on Baiyun Mountain the night before last? The Baiyun Mountain Villa is located in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, which is known as the 'Lung of Guangzhou City', surrounded by the natural scenery of blue sky, white clouds, clear water, and green forests. It has a long history and a profound cultural heritage, designed by the renowned Chinese Academy of Engineering academician and master architect Mo Bozhi. The building is constructed according to the mountain terrain and is famous for its unique garden design. When guests enter the hotel rooms, they slowly ascend from the first to the fifth floor without feeling tired, which is a clever design by the architect! The room layout is reasonable, comfortable, warm, and elegant, making guests feel at home! The next day, I successfully climbed to the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, Moxing Ridge, at an altitude of 328 meters, overlooking the bustling areas of Guangzhou, with a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery!

For those who love hiking, don't miss out on Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou!!

Occasionally, you can also encounter cute little cats, At the mountaintop and mid-mountain, you can also overlook the entire Guangzhou CBD, especially the mountaintop sunset and evening glow, it's breathtakingly beautiful! 🚶‍♀️ Hiking route: Enter from the South Gate —— hike to the mountaintop square —— Xiting Observation Deck It is recommended to come in the afternoon, so you can climb the mountain to see the beautiful evening glow and sunset, and also enjoy the night view of the Guangzhou Tower when it is lit up at night.

Today, we came to Baiyun Mountain, known as the 'First Show of Yangcheng'. Although the mountain is not high overall, with an altitude of only over 300 meters, it is not easy to reach the top. There are three classic shooting positions on Baiyun Mountain for capturing Guangzhou CBD: Bungee Viewing Platform, Mountain Top Square, and Xiting. ①The Bungee Viewing Platform is halfway up the mountain from Lianquan Gate. The visual effect is excellent, and a stunning cityscape can be captured with a telephoto lens. ②The Mountain Top Square is the highest point of the three shooting positions, with a great overlooking perspective. It is also close to the end of the cable car, so there are relatively more people. ③Compared to the Mountain Top Square, Xiting has a wider view. Because it takes 20 minutes to walk from the Mountain Top Square, it is not easy to reach, so there are fewer people. For those who want to shoot dusk or night scenes, this place is a must-visit. 🕙Time: Open all year round from 6:00 to 22:00 🎫Ticket: 5 yuan/person, cable car 25 yuan/person 📍Address: Baiyun Mountain Scenic Spot, Guangyuan Middle Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province 🚇Transportation: Exit B of Shahe Top Station on Metro Line 6, Route (hiking up the mountain)🚶🏻: Navigate to Baiyun Mountain Lianquan Gate from the subway station, take a taxi or ride a bike, about 1.5 kilometers to the mountain entrance.

During the Spring Festival period of 2024, my journey to the south was filled with good fortune, with a festive atmosphere everywhere I went. Although I have been to Guangzhou many times, this was my first visit to Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Fortunately, there was a flower exhibition on Baiyun Mountain, which truly showed the deep love the people of Guangzhou have for flowers. As for orchids, it was also the first time I saw so many varieties, pleasing to both the eye and the mind! Although the weather was not ideal, after reaching the top of Baiyun Mountain, I couldn't get a clear view of the entire city of Guangzhou, but there was a kind of hazy beauty. I could still vaguely see parts of Guangzhou, and I look forward to another opportunity to visit Baiyun Mountain! Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is located in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, and is one of the famous mountains in southern China, historically known as 'the most beautiful scenery in the City of Rams'. Baiyun Mountain has always been a famous scenic spot in Guangzhou. Places like 'Pujian Lianquan' and 'Evening View of Baiyun' were among the ancient 'Eight Sights of Yangcheng' and it is the first national AAAAA-level tourist attraction in the Guangzhou scenic area industry. It is also the only scenic area in Guangzhou that has both the honors of National Civilized Scenic Tourist Area and National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction. Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area has seven tourist areas from south to north, namely: Luhu Scenic Area, Santailing Scenic Area, Mingshun Valley Scenic Area, Moxing Ridge Scenic Area, Mingzhu Tower Scenic Area, Fei'e Ridge Scenic Area, and Heyi Ridge Scenic Area. There are three 'largest in the nation' attractions within the area: the largest garden-style garden in China—Yuntai Garden; the largest natural-style birdcage—Mingshun Valley; and the largest theme-style sculpture specialty park—Sculpture Park. The 'Ancient Notes of Yangcheng' says: 'Whenever the autumn sky is clear, white clouds lushly rise, covering half the mountain in white, hence the name Baiyun (White Clouds)', which is the origin of the name Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain is not only picturesque but also has a rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Neolithic prehistoric cultural site at Huangpo Cave in the north of the mountain. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the hermit Zheng Anqi lived on Baiyun Mountain, gathering herbs to help the world, and 'ascended to immortality' from Baiyun Mountain. During the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong practiced alchemy on Baiyun Mountain and wrote the famous Taoist work 'Baopuzi'. During the Southern Liang Dynasty, Chan Master Jing Tai came here to build a temple, which was the earliest temple on Baiyun Mountain, leaving behind the sight 'Jing Tai Monk Returns', one of the old Eight Sights of Yangcheng. After the Tang and Song dynasties, literati such as Du Shenyan, Li Qunyu, Su Shi, and Han Yu climbed the mountain to compose poetry. Their literary works, imbued with emotions and nature, became a precious historical and spiritual wealth of Lingnan.
