2025 Lianshan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Outdoor activities are either 0 times or countless times. ⛰️Recently, I fell in love with outdoor activities. I really like the feeling of embracing nature. 👣This weekend, I made an appointment with my friends to go to Mount Jinzi. Go hiking and breathe deeply in a place without a ceiling. . 🚘3.5 hours drive from Guangzhou. The scenery along the way is picturesque.🌾 The rice fields on the country roads in autumn begin to turn yellow. Open the car window, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of rice fills the air. It's so healing. . Check in🏕️Forest Snow Valley Wooden House. The quaint wooden house is built in the forest. Surrounded by green trees, the environment is quiet and peaceful. Take a walk on the forest path and listen to the chirping of birds. . Rest for a night and start climbing the mountain in the morning. 1️⃣Hiking route Hike up the mountain → Hike down the mountain Suitable for people who like outdoor sports, with a high intensity of exercise! 2️⃣Lazy route Cable car up the mountain → Cable car down the mountain Suitable for people who only want to go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise! Sea of clouds! A view of three provinces! And don't want to climb the mountain. 3️⃣Novice route Cable car up the mountain → Hike down the mountain Route 3️⃣ is recommended, as it allows you to get close to nature and enjoy the scenery along the way. . We accidentally encountered foggy weather. Visibility is low! Walking in the fog is like entering Silent Hill. Who understands? This atmosphere is just right. Hiking in the quiet fog is also a quiet enjoyment. On the way down, pass by ❤️2000+ steps of the Love Ladder. Slope of 80 degrees, almost hanging on the mountain, very shocking. . tips: The wind on the top of the mountain is strong, remember to bring a jacket and hat.

I didn’t expect that Guangdong still has such a magnificent terraced landscape hidden! Drive to explore the secret places in Guangdong where autumn begins. The layers of golden rice fields and the Yao village style full of life. As well as the authentic Lianzhou cuisine, this route is definitely worth a visit! · 🗺️Self-driving itinerary: Day❶: Depart from Dongguan, go to Oujia Terraces, then to Heishan Terraces, and finally arrive in Liannan Day ❷: Depart from Liannan, visit Youling Yao Village, and then return. · 📍Recommended attractions not to be missed: 1⃣️Black Mountain Terraces This terraced field is relatively hidden, with few tourists, and is currently open to the public free of charge. You can drive directly to the middle of the mountain and overlook the terraced fields, where green and golden colors are intertwined, filled with a strong autumn atmosphere. 2⃣️Oujia Terraces Located in the Dawu Mountain, known as the "Roof of Lingnan, Guangdong", the terraced fields are large in scale and have spectacular scenery. In addition to the golden rice fields🌾, there are also colorful activities such as drying rice in the sun during the harvest season.

Loving this field of Golden Rice Terraces at Oujia Village, Taibao Town, Lianshan, Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan, Guangdong, China. October is the harvest season of rice in this town and it's the best month to visit to witness this magnificent yellow rice field. It's a remote area in Qingyuan. You can stay in Oujia Terrace Farm House and eat simple food in the nearby village restaurant. #mytripvlog #fallingforfall

The journey from Foshan to Guangzhou takes about 2.5 hours. Arriving in Guangning at noon, we first enjoyed a bowl of smooth wonton, which was incredibly memorable. After parking at the entrance of the resort, an electric cart took us to the hotel front desk to check in, and then another cart took us to our room. I stayed in Area A, Room A201, which had a soaking tub. Just outside the door were a heated pool and hot spring pool, very close by. The hotel also prepared a welcome fruit basket 🍊, which was very thoughtful. Before heading out, I contacted the V Butler and took an electric cart to the restaurant for a meal 🍲. The outdoor view from the restaurant was excellent, and the scenery of the entire park was top-notch. Being there felt like being abroad, and the photos turned out great 📸. The air was also exceptionally fresh. However, there were some drawbacks. Firstly, around noon, some people were swimming, which was a bit noisy. Secondly, the nearby facilities were not very complete, with almost no shops around. If you don't eat in the park, you might have to travel far to find a restaurant. Thirdly, the toilet in the room was not smart, so it felt very cold to use in winter. Remember to bring your own toilet seat cushion 🥶. On the bright side, many hotel facilities are still under construction in the park. I sincerely hope that this place will become even more perfect in the future.

The scenic area is well arranged because the road up the mountain is a single lane. The mountain bottom and the mountain top will communicate well before letting the car go.

Wear warm jackets, pants, and gloves so you can fully enjoy the scenery at the top. I took photos for my group at the peak, and my hands were frozen after 15 minutes, but it was all worth it! 📸

• Travel time: • Try to avoid weekends: The mountain road is narrow and winding, and traffic jams are common. On December 17, we went on a day trip, and there was a serious traffic jam halfway up the mountain, which delayed our return trip. We almost had to spend the night on the highway, and we didn't get home until 3 am on the 18th. • Transportation to the mountain: • Don't choose the cable car if there are many people: The queue time is as long as 4 hours, but it only takes 10 minutes to reach the top. The cable car may also be closed due to weather conditions. You can choose to take the wooden plank road up the mountain and then take the slide (CNY 30/person) down the mountain. • Restroom: • Don't wait for the restroom next to the visitor center: Many people think that there is only one restroom, so the queue for the women's restroom is very long. In fact, you can walk a few more steps to the restroom in the parking lot, and you don't have to wait long. There are also restrooms on the mountain. • Rain gear: • Bring a good quality raincoat: The weather in the mountains is changeable and it rains easily. The wind is strong and umbrellas are not useful. Disposable plastic raincoats are very thin and easy to break, and they are not effective. It is best to bring a good quality raincoat to avoid getting wet and cold. • Masks: • Bring two more masks: The humidity is high, and masks get wet easily. Bring two more masks for replacement, otherwise, your face will be uncomfortable in the wind. • Food: • Bring dry food and instant noodles, and a thermos if possible: Instant noodles are easy to sell out when there are many people. It is difficult to eat instant noodles to warm up after going down the mountain. Although there are beef noodles opposite the visitor center, there are many people and no seats, so you can only stand and eat, and the taste is average. • Anti-slip equipment: • Bring crampons or rent them in advance at the visitor center (rental fee: CNY 15, deposit: CNY 50): The ground and wooden stairs on the slide section of the mountain are easy to freeze and slippery. If you are not prepared in advance, it may be too late to rent them, and it is easy to slip. If you want to reach the top, you must wear crampons. • Mountain climbing rules: • When there are many people climbing the mountain, try to walk on the right: There is a narrow road with two stone caves halfway up the mountain, which can only accommodate one person and is the same road for going up and down the mountain. Walking on the right can avoid blocking people and save time going up the mountain. Otherwise, it is easy to get stuck on this road for a long time without knowing the situation ahead, and you may even have to turn back. Although the process is tortuous, the scenery at the top of the mountain is very good and worth seeing.

As soon as you enter the room, you feel warm and comfortable, full of the smell of wood. I was pleasantly surprised! The red cedar used in the cabin is said to have a relaxing and calming effect~ There is a large bathtub on the terrace, and you can soak in the hot spring as many times as you like. If you don't have enough disposable bathtub covers, you can ask the housekeeper to get some. It's quite cozy in the mountains, living comfortably, breathing oxygen and relaxing, it's really refreshing. Not only are there luxurious hot spring facilities here, but there are also beautiful lake views that make people relax instantly. The surrounding natural beauty and the hotel's high-standard services make every guest feel at home. Especially at night, it is so pleasant to soak in the warm hot spring and look up at the stars!

The weather is clear and cool in autumn, perfect for an autumn outing I finally went hiking, something I've wanted to do for a long time! Jinzi Mountain in Lianshan, Qingyuan, which is known as "One mountain to see three provinces"⛰️ I recommend Maple Leaf Garden now🍁You must go! Large bamboo forests and maple leaves Cooking tea around the stove in the deep autumn colors🍵 The autumn atmosphere is full! At night, you can stay in the Forest Snow Valley cabin in the scenic area. Listening to the chirping of insects and birds, it is very comfortable to live in the cabin surrounded by nature. It feels great to breathe in the fresh air! The next day, we climbed to the top at 5am and looked forward to the sunrise🌄 You can choose to take the cable car up the mountain🚠 Standing at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,417 meters, you can deeply experience the feeling of looking down on all the mountains! Due to the weather, the sun was barely visible through the clouds, but it was still very shocking to see the majestic sea of ​​clouds! It is recommended to hike down the mountain. You can see various scenery and alpine plants along the way. Especially after the 999-step Love Ladder, the steep stairs on the cliff are a heart-pounding experience. There are also trails such as the Ancient Tree Valley, passing many ancient trees that are hundreds of years old. It is quiet and healing. I heard that there are famous rime flowers to see at Jinzi Mountain at the end of December! I'm really looking forward to staying here~ 📍: Jinzi Mountain, Lianshan, Qingyuan

After checking in at the rock outside the guardrail, I kept looking back at the beautiful view of the peaks on the way up the mountain. Taking photos with my phone stuck in the rock seams seemed to have become my exclusive way of checking in🚶 . I wanted to go straight to the top of the mountain, but the beautiful scenery in the mountain was so intoxicating that I didn't feel bored even after staying for a long time🙇 . There was a pavilion in the middle, but I didn't rest. I ran to the rocks in front and sat down. The view here was much better than in the pavilion🧐 . But later I found that the towel I used to wipe my sweat and hung around my neck was gone. I ran back a long way to find it. In the end, I found it on the wooden stake. I took it off when I took the photo and then forgot it on the wooden stake😓 . I walked all the way up to a rocky area above, and my soul was once again shaken by the mountains in the distance🤷‍♂️ . I said goodbye to the beautiful view of the mountains in the distance for the time being and continued to walk towards the mountain road ahead. I also wanted to go to the top of the mountain earlier to take a look😁 . When I walked to the cable car station, there was a sign of the Gold Mountain with snow or floating, which I could check in🧐 . Then I continued to walk up along the trail. There were two beautiful fruit trees, which were also very beautiful, so I checked in😊 . After coming up, I was one step closer to the top of the mountain, and I could also enjoy the sea of clouds in the distance😎

After checking in and admiring the beautiful view from the top of the mountain, I also started my journey down the wooden plank road🚶 . After going down a short distance, I found that the stone steps from the top of the mountain could also lead to the wooden plank road, because these two roads intersect at the bottom🧐 . This wooden plank road downhill has a beautiful name, called Terraced Scenery. Along the way, I admired the surrounding clouds and mountains, as if I was in the clouds, far away from the world🙇 . After walking down from the Terraced Scenery, I encountered a check-in point similar to a primitive tribe. I simply checked in here and continued to walk down🏃 . On the way, I occasionally looked back at the scenery on the top of the mountain. Because it was beautiful, I couldn't help but stop🙇 . But I didn't dare to delay too long, for fear of missing the last bus back to the county at 2:30. After going down the mountain, I went to the visitor center to fill up the big water cup, and then waited for the bus by the roadside😁
