Guifeng Mountain, Jiangmen｜Green Lake Like Jade Inlaid in Emerald Ridges, Enjoy a Refreshing Lakeside Tour

As Jiangmen’s "urban green lung," Guifeng Mountain offers city dwellers a natural oxygen bar within easy reach, with its lush greenery and fresh air. It may not have the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, but it instantly relaxes and heals. 🌳 >> Yuhu Scenic Area, Strolling Through a Landscape Painting Our first stop is Yuhu (Jade Lake). This emerald-green lake truly looks like a piece of jade embedded among the mountains! Walking slowly along the lakeside trail, on the left is the shimmering lake surface with boats leaving ripples behind; on the right is dense forest filled with continuous bird songs. The most pleasant moment is sitting in the pavilion at the lake’s center, feeling the breeze on your face, watching the distant mountains like ink wash paintings, and letting all worries drift away with the wind. >> Lakeside Cycling, Enjoying Free Time Renting a bike at the scenic area entrance was a wise choice to start the lakeside tour! 🚲 The professional cycling path is flat and comfortable, passing attractions like Longquan Waterfall and Yutai Temple. At Swan Bay, we were lucky to see flocks of elegant black swans swimming gracefully in the lake, creating a stunning scene with Guifeng Tower in the distance. >> Longtan Waterfall, Experience Mountain Coolness Following the signs into the mountains, we soon heard the sound of Longtan Waterfall. Though it lacks the grandeur of a "rushing cascade," it has its own delicate beauty. The water curtain flows down the rock face, splashing water droplets into the pool below. Many parents brought their children to play in the shallow water, their laughter blending with the sound of flowing water to create the most delightful summer melody. · Must-Visit Attractions: · Yuhu (most beautiful views along the lakeside trail) · Longtan Waterfall (cool spot for water play) · Yutai Temple (ancient temple over a thousand years old) · Guifeng Tower (climb for panoramic views) · Recommended Routes: · Easy Tour: Yuhu Lakeside Trail → Yutai Temple → Longquan Waterfall (3 hours) · In-Depth Tour: Lakeside Cycling → Longtan Waterfall → Climb Guifeng Tower (full day) · Special Experiences: · Lakeside cycling (bike rental at South Gate) · Picnic by the lake · Playing in the waterfall water · Praying at the ancient temple · Transportation Guide: · Drive and navigate to "Guifeng Mountain Scenic Area" · Take high-speed rail to Jiangmen Station, then taxi about 20 minutes · Scenic area shuttle bus 10 RMB/person · Food Recommendations: · Mountain spring tofu pudding · Chenpi pork ribs · Duruan bitter melon · Gujing roast goose · Helpful Tips: · Remember sunscreen on sunny days; lakeside trail has little shade · Bring a pair of sandals for playing in the waterfall area · Bring some bread to feed the swans and koi fish · Protect the environment; please take your trash with you 💙 Travel Reflection: Spending a day at Guifeng Mountain, I experienced the most harmonious blend of city and nature.
