How many times have you been to Bai Shui Zhai Natural Oxygen Bar in Zengcheng, Guangzhou?

Who knows, family! There’s a “natural air conditioner + oxygen paradise” hidden around Guangzhou, where you can check in to the tallest waterfall in Asia at 428.5 meters with just a 2-hour hike🌊. The average summer temperature is 25°C, 8°C cooler than the city. Tested and suitable for kids, couples, and friends. This article covers the route, photo spots, and tips to avoid pitfalls~ 🌟【Must-Visit Highlights】 ✅ Baishuixian Waterfall: The “Milky Way Waterfall” cascading from the mountain top, with double rainbows visible on sunny days! It’s recommended to walk to the 3,299-step viewing platform for the best angle without tiring your legs. ✅ Haichuan Wooden Walkway: A suspended walkway built along the waterfall, with a babbling stream beneath your feet. Every shot looks like a “forest movie scene”📸. ✅ Tiannan’s First Staircase: Challenge yourself with 9,999 steps, with different scenery every 1,000 steps. At the top, you can overlook the entire Zengcheng (for the fit and brave!). ✅ Water Play at the Waterfall: There’s a shallow pool at the foot of the mountain to cool off by stepping in the water. Bring a small water gun, kids can play all afternoon~ 📍【Practical Travel Guide】 - Transportation: 1.5 hours by car from Guangzhou (navigate to “Bai Shui Zhai Scenic Area,” parking fee 10 yuan/day); take Metro Line 21 to Zengcheng Square Station, then transfer to Zengcheng Bus 16 directly to the scenic area entrance. - Tickets: Buy in advance on a group-buy platform for 45 yuan/person (60 yuan on-site), half price for students and seniors (with ID!). - Best Time: 8:30-17:30 (recommended to arrive before 9 to avoid crowds and sunburn). After summer rain, the waterfall is especially powerful and photogenic! - Outfit: Sports shoes + quick-dry clothes (you’ll sweat hiking), bring a light jacket (it’s a bit cool at the top), wear light-colored clothes for more magical photos~ 🥘【Nearby Food Recommendations】 - Bamboo Tube Rice: A must-order at the farmhouses at the scenic area entrance! Glutinous rice + cured meat + mushrooms steamed in bamboo tubes with a natural fragrance, 25 yuan/serving. - Zengcheng Silk Seedling Chicken Rice: Rice grains are distinct, chicken is tender and juicy, paired with soup—amazing. About 30 yuan per person to eat your fill. - Mountain Water Tofu Pudding: Perfect after hiking, cold and sweet, 5 yuan/bowl, refreshing and cooling~ ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 1. Don’t bring too much stuff! The scenic area has small shops, water and snacks are reasonably priced (mineral water 5 yuan/bottle). 2. If your stamina is average, don’t force the 9,999 steps. The 3,299-step viewing platform is the best value, offering a full view of the waterfall without exhaustion. 3. Avoid taking photos at noon! Light is softer before 10 am or after 3 pm, the waterfall won’t be overexposed, and faces won’t be shadowed. 4. If driving, don’t park in private roadside spots. The scenic area parking lot is safe and cheap, avoid getting scammed~ Who knows! After staying in the city for a long time, diving into the mountains and listening to the waterfall sound is truly healing~ Bring your family and friends to experience this pure natural negative ion oxygen bar together!
