Don't miss it again! Yau Ma Shan - "Poetry and Distance" in the suburbs of the city

📍In the middle of Xinlong Town, Huangpu 🌅 District, Guangzhou City, it is the second highest peak in 🏔️Laoba District, Guangzhou, with an altitude of 50 meters higher than Baiyun Mountain. The mountains here are high, the forests are dense, the air is fresh, the negative ions are high, and the streams are clear. It is a good place to climb mountains, look far and relax. 🚉Transportation guide: 🚗: Self-driving - 1 hour departure from Guangzhou city (about 40 kilometers from the city center) Navigation-Yau Mashan Forest Park 🚇: Take Exit B of Jinkeng Station of Metro Line 21 and take a taxi there (it is 5.4 kilometers away from Yau Ma Shan, so it is not easy to take a taxi. It is more convenient to drive) 🗓Itinerary: ⚠️If you are hiking the Jinmai Line, start from Exit B of Jinkeng Station, and start walking to the right after exiting the station. Download the "Two Steps APP" in advance and search for "Guangzhou Jinmai Line". The whole journey is 12 kilometers and takes about 5-6 hours of hiking. It is recommended to start hiking at 10 o'clock in the morning. When you go down the mountain, you can catch the sunset in the evening. It is beautiful and not too much. Late, be safe. (I am looking forward to this route and will try it next time) ✅Shiyading Tiankeng This route takes 1 hour to go up and down the mountain. It is very easy and suitable for family and children to climb mountains for leisure. Just navigate directly to "Maicun". It is 11 kilometers away from Yau Ma Shan Forest Park (it is one of the passing points of the Jinmai Line) 🎫Tickets: Free 📸Check-in attractions: ①Tiankeng: Located in the Jian'an Quarry at the junction of Huangpu and Zengcheng. This area was originally a pool for storing mud and rocks in the quarry. Now it is a tiankeng with clear water as clear as a mirror. ②Air-raid Shelter: Yau Ma Mountain was once part of the Dongjiang Column base area, and there are still many Anti-Japanese War relics preserved, mainly including the canteen in the southwest part of the mountain, the Dongjiang Column ruins in the central part, the revolutionary anti-war trenches and air-raid shelters. ③Huafeng Temple: Located on the mountainside of Youmasan Mountain, it is a Buddhist temple with a long history. ④Shiyading Tiankeng: On the east side of Youma Mountain, at the intersection of Maicun, Xinlong Town, Huangpu District, and Yeling Village, Yongning Street, Zengcheng District, there are two connected Tianchis on Shiyading. ”, one large and one small in the shape of “two teardrops”, they are all sinkholes left by the former quarry. 📝Note tips: ✨Be careful to prevent mosquitoes, there are many mosquitoes ✨Travel lightly and wear comfortable shoes for easy hiking ✨Carry water, snacks, and electrolyte water with you to replenish your energy ✨Pay attention to sun protection and wear a hat or umbrella to prevent heat stroke ✨There is a stream at the foot of the mountain, which is very suitable for children to play in the water and camping.
