Qingyuan Jinzishan Travel Tips
• 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.
You read that right, you can enjoy snow and hot springs without leaving Guangdong!
Almost every person in Guangdong has a dream about snowy days ❄️☃. But the time and money cost of going to the north is too high! In fact, you don't have to leave the province to see snow in Guangdong, such as in Qingyuan!
Here are some snow and hot spring routes in Qingyuan 📝, so you can make your snow dream come true this winter ✨‼️
1⃣ Jinzi Mountain
Jinzi Mountain is located in Lianshan Autonomous County, Qingyuan, with an altitude of 1,414 meters. It is known as the "Little Huashan Mountain of Southern Guangdong". The mountain is covered with green bamboo and flowing clouds and waterfalls, with pleasant scenery. Every year from December to January of the following year, as the temperature drops, there is almost always a heavy snowfall. The snow-covered mountain forest is like a fairyland. Especially when standing on the glass corridor bridge and viewing platform built on the highest peak, overlooking the entire valley, it is crystal white, like a dream.
2⃣ Tanling Tianhu
It is a typical alpine reservoir with a vast water area and beautiful scenery. The lake surface is as bright as a gem, perfectly replicating the color of the sky, pure and clear. Due to the high altitude, it almost always snows every winter. The snow-covered lakeside is quiet and beautiful, and you must come to the scene to feel the breathtaking beauty.
3⃣ Queen Mountain
It is known as the "Little Snow Town of Guangdong". A tea estate with a fairy-like atmosphere, it becomes a paradise after snow, with snow-capped mountains, sea of clouds, sunrise... The snow-covered ice and fog are beautiful and fairy-like.
4⃣ Guangdong's First Peak
With an altitude of 1,902 meters, it is known as the first peak in Guangdong. Here, as long as you climb to the mountainside, you can see the magnificent ice and snow wonders. The ice and snow here are not only abundant but also very thick. Snowflakes cover the mountain!
5⃣ Millennium Yao Village
The black tiles, green brick walls, and silver-white snow make the ancient Yao village look like an ancient ice and snow city. Here, there is not only rare snow but also passionate ethnic customs, special Yao songs and dances, and food, making the cold winter warmer.
⛲️ Hot Spring Recommendations
Guangdong's First Peak Hot Spring Resort, Xixi Forest Hot Spring, and Queen Mountain also have hot springs... After enjoying the snow, soak in a hot spring and experience a real alpine hot spring. Release fatigue and feel comfortable.
📝 Travel Tips:
1. The best time to enjoy the snow is from December to January of the following year, so pay attention to weather changes.
2. The temperature on the mountain is low, so bring warm clothes.
3. Drive carefully and slowly.

The beautiful view of the peaks of the Qingyuan Gold Mountain Rock Pile.
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😎
Qingyuan Jinzi Mountain Finale: Terraced Scenery Downhill Road.
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😁

From April to June each year, Mount Jinzi is at its most beautiful during the flower viewing season, with the altitudes ranging from 1200 meters to 1417 meters, where the high mountain rhododendrons form a magnificent forest. The relative height difference of Mount Jinzi is over 1000 meters, creating a typical high mountain climate with hot, temperate, and cold zones, providing a natural growing environment for the cool and moist-loving rhododendrons. Furthermore, rhododendrons growing at different altitudes bloom at different times; those in the warm low-altitude areas mostly bloom from February to March, those in the temperate mid-altitude areas bloom around April, and the rhododendron seas in the cold high-altitude areas bloom from May to June.
Cool summer retreats around Guangzhou and Foshan, offering you a summer at 23℃
🚗 Friends in Foshan who are worried about where to go for a cool summer, pay attention! I've found an incredibly beautiful summer resort area that's only an hour's drive from Foshan.
⛰ This resort is located in the Lianshan region of Qingyuan, built against the mountains. During the summer days with an average temperature of 35℃, the temperature around the villas can be maintained at about 23℃, making it a rare summer sanctuary.
The resort is connected to the mountains and embraced by forests, free from the hustle and bustle of the city, with only the echoes of nature. Stepping into this place is like entering a fairy tale world, with streams, birds, trees... Every encounter with the elements of nature is a spiritual cleanse, washing away the fatigue accumulated during workdays.
🏘 Nordic-style wooden villas, seasonal flower fields scattered throughout the mountains, Yun She Book Bar, Yun Ding Mountain Residence Restaurant... are enough to satisfy at least a three-day, two-night stay of eating, drinking, and playing.
⛺️ Rooms: The resort offers a variety of room types to choose from, including mountain view rooms, standalone mountain stream houses, forest cabins, mountaintop villas, and private courtyards... Whether it's a family trip or a company team building, the room types here can meet your needs.
🚙 Transportation: The resort is connected to the Xiao Sanjiang exit of the Er Guang Expressway, and National Highway 234 passes by the entrance of the scenic area. It's about a 2-minute drive from Xiao Sanjiang town street, and the surrounding national, county, and township road networks are well-developed, making it easy to reach nearby villages and towns. The transportation conditions are very convenient.
🦯 Activities: There are mountain biking and hiking areas near the accommodation, which are the best choices for getting close to nature; in addition, there are facilities such as a colleague bar, coffee shop, home theater, and chess room, which are also great places for leisure and entertainment.

I'm off to Jizi Mountain in Qingyuan, who's up for a hike next time?
Outdoor hiking, here I come again‼️ I went to a mountain as requested by fans🏔️
You can see a sea of clouds here, especially in winter when the snow hangs～
We set off from Guangzhou and it took us 3.5h to get there and stay for one night.
The next day we started climbing🧗
We got up at 7:00 in the morning, had breakfast at 7:30, and started climbing at 8:00.
The whole journey is 9km with an elevation gain of 800m.

Take a cable car🚡 for a section on the way up to enjoy the mountain view～
👉🏻Our uphill route is: Mountain entrance——Cableway——Wooden plank path——Persimmon Wishes——Cloud Sea Penglai——Glass Sky Bridge——View of Three Provinces with One Glance——Zhuang Ethnic Bronze Drum Golden Ingot——Jizi Mountain 1417m Altitude Sign
👉🏻Our downhill route: Queen Peak——Along the line Azaleas🌺——Love Ladder——Mushroom Pavilion——Ancient Tree Valley——Tianxi Waterfall——Azalea Flower Sea
💕The Love Ladder here is quite shaky with a slope of 80 degrees, almost vertically hanging on the mountain.
💕Watching the sunrise over the sea of clouds is something every hiker wants to do haha.
Here you can see a fairy-tale-like sea of clouds.
💕The Golden Ingot is 7 meters long, and it looks very prosperous～
Touching it can bring a rolling fortune and smooth sailing.
💕Azaleas on Jizi Mountain🌺
A hillside of azaleas turns the mountain red, who could not love it?
'Why seek famous gardens to enjoy the spring breeze, when the mountain flowers along the way do not disappoint you.
Every day the Jinjiang River is like brocade, and the clear stream reflects the mountain red.'
Such azalea beauty can only be found on Jizi Mountain.
There are several great photo spots here! (Please see the picture)
Come and get the same photo spot.
📍For self-driving tourists in the Pearl River Delta, you can take the Er-Guang Expressway——Lianshan exit——Straight through Lianshan County——Guangde Avenue——Direction of Hezhou——Turn at Yonghe Town to X400 line towards Hedong Town for 10 kilometers——Jizi Mountain Primitive Ecological Tourism Scenic Area

Jinzi Mountain Ecotourism Resort
Jinzi Mountain Ecotourism Resort 180/person (ticket + cable car)
8:00-17:30
There are no direct transportation options for now, you can choose to drive yourself
You can choose to stay in nearby homestays, Yao villages, etc. (Friends who are in a hurry and energetic can also choose to go back and forth on the same day)
Backpack, non-slip shoes, down jacket, dry food, hat, scarf, gloves and other cold-proof items
. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain and walk down the mountain. If you walk up the mountain, you have to walk a very steep road, and if you are tired from going down the mountain, you can choose to take a slide down (50/person)
You don't have to go to Guangdong to see the stunning rime and snow scenery - Jinzi Mountain, you will definitely regret it if you don't come
This is a fairyland on earth - Qingyuan Jinzi Mountain...
It's starting to get cold again, it's time to bring out the Jinzi Mountain I climbed when it was super cold in December last year.
Rime scenery is not often seen
It can only be seen when the temperature on the mountain drops to a certain level
Friends who want to see must always pay attention to the weather changes here ©
As expected, Guangdong people who have no resistance to snow*
As soon as they know it's getting cold, all kinds of cars with Cantonese characters start running here
Especially friends with Guangdong A, the car can't move before it reaches the ticket office at the foot of the mountain, everyone stops on the side of the road and walks over
The ticket is about tens of yuan, but the cable car is expensive
It takes several hours to walk up
Those who are in a hurry and can't walk can choose to take the cable car up and down
But when there are many people, you have to queue for a long time to take the cable car
There are two ways to go up
If you come early, you can go up the Love Ladder (the scenery is really much better, but it's steeper)
Then go down the other side of the stairs (the road is flatter and easier to walk)
Because we came late
We can only walk up and take the cable car down
When queuing to take the cable car down, it was completely dark
Can't see anything
Things to note:
Remember to wear non-slip shoes or get some non-slip chains, the stairs are icy
It's really slippery, wear warm, windproof, waterproof and dirt-resistant clothes, wear thicker warm hats, scarves and gloves, the stairs are really dirty, light-colored clothes that are not resistant to dirt will be scrapped after playing once... Wearing gloves can hold the handrail without freezing hands, if possible, put on a raincoat, carry a backpack to free your hands to focus on climbing. The bag can be filled with things like energy bars, biscuits, bananas, functional drinks, you can replenish energy at any time, and then a thermos cup with some hot water. The mountain is much colder than imagined, drinking something hot is really comfortable
It is strongly not recommended to bring very small children up, it's hard
It will only be the parents
The best viewing period for Ou's terraced fields
In Lianshan, Qingyuan City, Guangdong, there is one of the ten most beautiful terraced fields in China - Ou's terraced fields. The number of people who went there during the National Day holiday was not large, so I went there again. The journey was smooth, but there was a traffic jam on the way back. Now Ou's terraced fields have been contracted by a certain company, so they have started to charge admission fees. However, after these years of changes, all aspects of Ou's terraced fields have improved, and the accommodation, food and travel are much better than a few years ago. The scenic area is divided into east and west. During the National Day holiday, the east side has turned golden, but the west side is still green. This is all controlled by humans, in order to extend the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields as much as possible, which is conducive to people's viewing and shooting. Overall, the scenery of Ou's terraced fields is very photogenic, whether it is sunny or cloudy, it is very suitable for tourists from Guangdong to go there and check in around October.

Let's go enjoy the autumn together
I declare this is the best place to enjoy autumn in Guangdong! What does autumn look like in Guangdong?
It may be late, but it will never be absent. Compared to the bleak autumn wind in the north
The autumn here has colorful scenery. It is the 【Ou's Terraces】
Not only can you experience a dreamy golden wonderland here, but you can also experience the local customs and practices of the ethnic groups.
Check in at the two major terraces in Lianshan, 【Ou's Terraces】 and 【Heishan Terraces】, check in at the ginkgo forest all over the mountains
Check in at Guangdong's first Wanshan Chaowang National Stone Desert Park and experience the bonfire party in Yao Village
【Must-visit attractions】
+Ou's Terraces: The largest terraces in Guangdong Province, a large piece of golden rice fields, the terraces in the mountains have a strong sense of hierarchy, wearing a beautiful dress here is a big shot at random?
+Ginkgo Forest: The golden ginkgo plank road is like a small river flowing in the ginkgo forest, wandering in the ginkgo forest, like roaming in the golden sea of ginkgo
