Guangdong Actually Has a Hiking Wonderland Like "Altay". Here's the Guide!

Always dreaming of the grandeur of Jiangxi's Mount Wugong, but always missing out on it? Don't worry! In Maoming, Guangdong, there is a place called Sanguan Peak. Its alpine meadow hiking route will definitely allow you to experience the beautiful scenery that is not inferior to Mount Wugong, as if stepping into the Guangdong version of "Altay". 🌄 Unique Charm: When you charter a car from Zhuhai and arrive at Sanguan Peak at 2 AM, this surprising journey begins. As soon as you get off the car, the bright and vast starry sky instantly captures you. The stars are like diamonds, shining on the night sky, making you feel like you are in a dream. Although I didn't get to see the beautiful sunrise as I wished when I reached the top, and the sun was blocked by the heavy fog, the true face of Sanguan Peak was stunningly revealed as the fog gradually dissipated on the way down the mountain at 7 AM. The green meadows all over the mountains are spread out like green carpets, dotted with leisurely grazing yellow cattle, which complement the blue, jewel-like sky. Any scenery is as beautiful as a carefully drawn picture, and a casual shot is a blockbuster that will dominate your social media feed. Even if you don't witness the sea of clouds and the sunrise, the scenery along the way is already worth it. 💡 Useful suggestions: - Navigation and Transportation: Directly navigate to "Niucheping, Gaozhou City, Maoming City, Guangdong Province". The car can be driven to the parking lot. However, be aware that traffic jams are likely during the day, so it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours. If traveling from other places, chartering a car or driving yourself is more convenient and allows you to arrange your itinerary freely. - Route Planning: The whole journey is 10.32 km, with an elevation gain of 845m. This route is both challenging and scenic, allowing you to fully experience the charm of nature during the hike. Arrange your physical strength reasonably and take appropriate breaks along the way. 📌 Equipment Tips: - Hiking Poles: Sanguan Peak has steep slopes, heavy fog, and slippery ground. Hiking poles can effectively help you maintain balance and reduce leg pressure. - Hiking Shoes: The mountain road is slippery, and a pair of professional hiking shoes is the key to ensuring walking safety. Don't go up the mountain in slippers to prevent slipping and injury. - Windbreaker: It is windy, foggy, and cold on the mountain. A windbreaker has the functions of windproof, warmth, and moisture protection, which can effectively prevent hypothermia. - Hat: It can prevent fog from wetting your hair and keep your head dry and comfortable. - Headlamp: If you choose to climb the mountain in the early morning, a headlamp is an essential tool for night lighting. Compared with a flashlight, a headlamp is more convenient to use and frees your hands for climbing. - Water: Be sure to bring about 2L of water, because there is no place to buy water on the mountain. Replenish water in time during the hike to prevent dehydration. - Food: Prepare more high-calorie foods such as meat snacks, which can quickly replenish physical strength and cope with the physical exertion during the hike. - Picnic Mat: The ground is wet, so bring a picnic mat so you can sit more comfortably when resting. ✨ Civilized Mountain Climbing Reminder: - Professional Equipment Ensures Safety: Don't go up the mountain in a casual state with bare arms, shorts, or slippers. This is not only unsightly, but also very likely to cause hypothermia, which can be dangerous for yourself and your teammates. Equipping yourself with professional equipment is a responsible act for yourself and the team. - Protect the Environment and Do Not Litter: The beauty of Sanguan Peak needs to be protected by everyone. Take your trash away and keep this pure land beautiful. - No Fire Allowed to Protect the Mountain Forest: Never bring fire to the mountain at any time, and smoking is strictly prohibited to avoid causing forest fires. Let us jointly protect this gift of nature. Come to Sanguan Peak and start a hiking trip to get close to nature, and leave good memories in the alpine meadows!
