Encounter the Lingnan lifestyle at the foot of the clouds

"Is Baiyun Mountain the oxygen tank of Guangzhou?" I was amused by this slogan as soon as I got off the subway. After three days of eating and shopping in Baiyun District, I finally understood— This is where the wildest romance of the City of the Ram is hidden! ⛰️ First stop: Baiyun Mountain's philosophy of lying flat Who says climbing a mountain has to be exhausting? The lazy route here is like the Disney of the mountain world: the cable car is a slow-moving aerial bus, and the electric car is more laid-back than a shared bike. Let me tell you a secret, the sunrise viewing platform at Moxing Ridge comes with a "sea of clouds filter", but I suggest you bring a jacket—the morning mountain breeze is as chilling as your ex's cold jokes. 🌺 Yuntai Garden's low-key Versailles style When the hydrangea sea is laid out like a Monet painting in front of the European-style fountain, even the passing butterflies are dancing the waltz. I suggest you wear a light-colored long dress, and I guarantee your WeChat Moments will get more likes than the flower buds. Remember to come at 4 pm, the sunset will gild the Roman columns, and even your selfies will have a Renaissance elegance. 🍜 Urban village food guide The owner of the rice noodle roll shop at Tonghe Station has magic—the rice skin is as thin as a cicada's wings and wraps around dancing shrimp. The beef offal pot on Jingxi Old Street has a broth so thick it can stick to dialects. The best is the fried ice stall at Yongtai Night Market, where the boss wields the wok like he's doing Wing Chun, and the mango ice is sweeter than first love. 🛶 Baiyun Lake's Japanese escape plan Who says you have to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms? The cycling path around the lake here is covered in pink snow in spring, and you can rent a bike to star in a fresh movie. Let me tell you a secret, the waterfront platform at dusk is a sky mirror, and the reflection of Canton Tower will turn into a golden cudgel fishing for the moon. 🎭 Sanyuanli's punk Lingnan In the ancestral hall next to the Anti-British Memorial Hall, the grandmas are rapping in Cantonese opera. In the No. 5 Hangar Shopping Center, you'll see girls in Hanfu and boys on skateboards sharing milk tea. The sense of dissonance here is like ginger milk pudding—the more it collides, the more fragrant it becomes. 💡 Hidden Easter eggs: 1. The bald cypress forest at Huangpodong Reservoir turns into amber flames in autumn 2. The carnivorous plant area in the greenhouse area of South China Botanical Garden is definitely more interesting than your ex 3. Hold your phone tightly when taking Metro Line 3—not to prevent theft, but to prevent your jaw from dropping at the scenery along the way Looking at the receding clouds in the rearview mirror as I left I suddenly understood why this place is called "Baiyun District" —those clouds floating in my memory Half are the coconut fragrance of the sugar water shop Half are the evening breeze brushing past the banyan tree Remember to wear comfortable shoes next time you come The surprises here are hidden in What you think is "ordinary"✨ (Waiting for a Baiyun Mountain sunset photo in the comments!)
