Outdoor Treasure: A Guide to the Beautiful Canyon Waterfall Hiking Route in Guangzhou
Guangzhou has a stunning canyon waterfall hiking route, which is simply a treasure trove of nature 😃. It features the longest hiking trail in Guangdong and the highest waterfall drop in mainland China—the Baishuixian Waterfall. Along the way, towering mountains and green trees complement each other, making for a particularly eye-catching view. As you walk, you can hear the thunderous sound of the waterfall, and the cool mist hits your face, which feels incredibly refreshing. Standing at a high point and gazing at the rolling green hills in the distance, you really just want to slow down and take in the beautiful scenery.
2. Check-in Tips
1. Transportation 🚗
- Self-driving navigation: Baishuizhai, Zengcheng, Guangzhou. It takes about 1.5 hours to get there from Guangzhou or Dongguan.
- Public transportation: From downtown Guangzhou, you can take Guangzhou Metro Line 14 to Jiahe Wanggang Station, then transfer to Conghua Bus Station, and then take Conghua Bus Route 13 to Baishuizhai. From Zengcheng, you can take Zengcheng Bus Route 16 (Guangming Station to Baishuizhai) or Zengcheng Bus Route 42 (Zhengguo Huxindao Station to Baishuizhai).
2. Hiking Guide 🚶♂️

However, if you don't want to get too tired but still want to enjoy the scenery, you can stop at the 1499-step Waterfall Sound Platform. If you take photos along the way, it only takes about an hour. Note that the Waterfall Sound Platform has a lot of water, so it's best to wear a windproof and waterproof jacket.
3. Accommodation 🏨
- There are many hot spring hotels and guesthouses around, with various levels of accommodation, so you can definitely find one that suits you.
4. Dining 🍜

About a kilometer from the entrance, there is a restaurant called Taojie Farmhouse, which serves great farmhouse dishes in large portions and is delicious Cantonese cuisine.

I took a trip to Guangzhou and accidentally stumbled into the beauty of Western Sichuan
The hanging bridges between the cliffs, the ceaseless stream beneath my feet
The waterfall that descends from the heavens, its magnificent appearance is somewhat reminiscent of scenes from a fantasy drama. It's really super beautiful, incredibly healing
Whether it's a sunny or rainy day, each has its own charm

✅Travelogue
With an altitude of 1088 meters, climbing to the top involves 4099 steps, estimated to take 2-3 hours (there's only a reservoir at the summit, so reaching the top is optional). The half-way descent of 2199 steps showcases the most beautiful scenery. The azure stream along the way, coupled with the lush greenery of the mountains, really gives a sense of Western Sichuan.

Baishuizhai Scenic Spot
🌟Highlight Features:
Unique mountain trail in Guangdong area, with mountains and water:
1. During the mountain climbing journey, what accompanies you is the rumbling sound of waterfall, which is relatively rare among many mountain climbing;
2. 9999 steps are also a big challenge, for those who exercise less usually, 4099 steps are already the limit, the steps of the milestone along the way are the intense numbers that constantly urge to move forward;
3. During the day, looking at Baishuizhai from a distance, two jade belt-style hanging on the mountain top is also one of the distant beautiful views;
📝Note tips:
1. The mountain road is relatively slippery, pay attention to use standard mountain climbing shoes or hiking shoes;
2. After climbing up and down in one day, it is inevitable to have weak legs. It is also a good choice to choose a hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain to rest and recuperate for one night.

⛰️Guangzhou's longest hiking trail - The First Ladder of the South (9999 steps) with an altitude of 1088 meters, the waterfall with the largest drop in mainland China - Baishuixian Waterfall with a drop of 428.5 meters
Route suggestion🚥
1️⃣699 steps (Double Dragon Confluence Small Waterfall), 1499 steps is the best point for viewing, taking photos and checking in at the waterfall
2⃣️For friends with average physical strength, you can go downhill after hiking to 1499 steps (Waterfall Roaring Platform) or 2199 steps (Close to Waterfall)
3⃣️Friends with good physical strength can directly challenge the 4099 steps waterfall source (Fairy Maiden Heavenly Pool), there are lawns around, it is estimated to climb up in 2-3 hours, you need to control the time to go downhill, generally the security will remind tourists to go downhill around 17 o'clock
Some thoughts💬
The mountain route is very simple~ Follow the stream all the way up, just follow the fences and ladders, there are also signs on the side of the road🪧
☝️It is recommended to go when the weather is good, it is really slippery to walk on wooden bridges and wooden stairs in rainy days (I have fallen), due to time reasons, we only climbed to 4099 steps, if you want to climb up at around 16 o'clock in the afternoon, the security will drive people away and not let them continue to climb up, if you want to reach the top⛰️9999 steps, you must set off early!!
You can also play in the water at the foot of the mountain, the water is super clear and icy, it is very refreshing to soak your feet when they are sore from climbing, super comfortable~
In addition, if you think it is necessary, you can also prepare an extra set of clothes, the clothes are easy to get wet when climbing and playing in the water, you can change them when you go back to avoid catching a cold🫂

Mountains, Trees, and endless Waterfalls
This was one of the most beautiful hikes I've been on. You can either choose to hike up or take a sightseeing bus.
The Hiking trail was 9,999 steps. An upwards climb with many beautiful waterfalls along the way. It's about a 2hr hike up then you can take a short cut down which is an hour.
Once you reach the top there's a nice picnic spot to relax with a view of a lake in front of you. Absolutely stunning!
BaiShuiZhai is located in Paitan town in Zeng Cheng district.
If your coming from Tian He in Guangzhou it's about a 2 hr drive. Absolutely worth it. I advise starting early in the morning!

Baishuizhai is located in Paitan Town, Zengcheng City. The scenic area is high in mountains and dense forests. The air is fresh and the clouds are in the middle of the cloud. The Sichuan-shaped white waterfall is incomparably eye-catching. It is not accurate to say that it is a waterfall. The guide said that the waterfall is artificial. I made it impossible for me to climb up to see its interest. From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are 9,999 steps. It is called the Tiannan First Ladder. From the starting point to the level of 1299 (viewing the waterfall platform, the lower end of the waterfall), the scenery is indistinguishably set up on the side of the stream. Along the path of the path, the stream hits the water rising from the stone and the air is fresh.
Mountaining boardwalk is very characteristic. It is paved with the old ship's boat. You can smell the thick tung oil on the top. It is very emotional. Climbing 4099 steps to the top of the fairy island of Tiangu, is a very beautiful lake, the color is blue-green, the water is very clear.

The Baishuizhai Waterfall in Zengcheng, Guangzhou is breathtakingly beautiful.
🌊Address: Baishuizhai Scenic Area, No. 74 Beishan Road, Paitan Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou.
Opening hours: 8:30–17:30 (last entry at 16:30).
Tickets: CNY 60 for adults, group-buying tickets available online; CNY 30 for children/seniors/students.
❗Eligibility: Seniors aged 60 (inclusive) to 65 (exclusive), free for seniors aged 65 and above with a senior card or ID card; children with a height of 1.2 m (inclusive) to 1.5 m (inclusive), free for children under 1.2 m (exclusive); full-time primary, secondary, and university students (excluding adult education and graduate students) with a student ID or campus card.
Parking 🅿: CNY 10 for small cars, CNY 20 for large cars.
Tips: We started climbing at 10:30 and reached the 4,099th step at around 13:00. The 4,099th step is actually a reservoir. If you just want to take photos of the waterfall, the 1,499th step is enough. The section from the 4,099th to the 9,999th step is all stone steps with few views and no waterfalls along the way. If you want a challenge, you can try this section. There are few people along the way, and there may even be no signal in the middle, so it is recommended to go with a companion. Note that after 15:30, you are not allowed to continue climbing from the 4,099th to the 9,999th step. It took us about an hour to climb from the 4,099th to the 9,999th step.
Mineral water on the mountain is CNY 8, and drinks are CNY 12 per bottle. It is recommended to bring your own food and plenty of water. It is recommended to bring a trekking pole, as it is really tiring! Also, remember to wear a hat, sneakers, and sports pants, and prepare a backpack. Don't wear thick clothes, as they are not breathable and will make you feel hot and stuffy 🥵, and your legs will be more sore when you go downhill.
There is a road next to the 9,999th step that leads directly to the 4,099th step, which is about 3 km 🛣, and then you can return along the original stone steps 🔙. We arrived at the foot of the mountain at 16:30.
The whole itinerary: 10:30–13:00 (arrive at the 4,099th step) → 13:05–14:02 (arrive at the 9,999th step) → 14:15–16:35 (go down to the foot of the mountain).
Be sure to soak your feet after climbing the mountain, or your legs will be sore and painful the next day.
After climbing the mountain, we went to eat bamboo rice, which was delicious 😋! The restaurant is called Zhuxiangyuan Bamboo Rice, about 4 km from Baishuizhai. We ordered a bamboo rice with chicken for CNY 68 and a mountain fish for CNY 50, which were delicious, and the mountain fish was served with perilla. We spent a total of CNY 122, with a tea fee of CNY 2 per person.
Come and experience this cool and delicious journey! ✨

Autumn trip to Baishuizhai, Zengcheng.
Another weekend with blue skies and white clouds, and cool autumn weather. Let's go! Take the subway to your destination: Baishuizhai, Zengcheng.
Arrive at the foot of the mountain (Tian Nan Di Yi Ti). Prepare your hiking essentials: water (preferably light salt water), bread, chocolate, and a sun hat. Start climbing the steps along the mountain and stream to the first viewing platform. Here you can see the full view of Baishuizhai Waterfall. The waterfall is divided into five sections, like a jade belt on the green peaks, which makes you want to see its source: Baishuizhai Reservoir.
Continue climbing. Most of the steps here are wooden, and you can see the water flowing under your feet and the rocks hanging in the air. Look up and you can see all kinds of tree roots and vines bursting out of the rocks. You will be impressed by the tenacity of life.
Finally, you reach 2,000 steps. This is a fork in the road. If you have the energy, continue to challenge yourself to 3,000–4,000 steps. I made a good confession at 2,000 steps. While looking at Zengcheng surrounded by golden rice fields at the foot of the mountain, I ate something to replenish my energy before going down the mountain.
There is also a fun water area at the foot of the mountain. The water is clear and you can see small fish. There are also healthy walking paths on both sides, which are very suitable for elderly people and children who are not strong enough to climb the mountain.
With a view of greenery, the one-day trip to Baishuizhai is over. If you are still interested, you can take a tourist bus to the nearby He Xiangu Scenic Area to climb the mountain and pray for blessings.
You can also take a bus to Conghua for a one-day trip. There are buses to Zengcheng and Conghua at the foot of Baishuizhai, which is very suitable for students and budget travelers without a car.
There are also many specialty restaurants at the foot of the mountain, such as mountain snails and stir-fried meat with dried bamboo shoots. Although they are a bit expensive, they are a travel experience. Zengcheng silk seed rice is very famous. If you come in summer, you must buy the local lychees, which are a local specialty.
Zengcheng is the back garden of Guangzhou and is very suitable for weekend trips.

Wow! The hot spring villas here are not only affordable but also perfect for family trips.
Wow, I didn't expect Guangzhou to have such a fun place. The villa rooms are equipped with hotel-standard facilities, including basic living facilities, separate wet and dry bathrooms, regularly cleaned and replaced bedding, disposable toiletries, and more, giving you a wonderful experience.
B1: There is also a luxurious KTV, which is super large and can accommodate about 30 people, with excellent sound quality. In the evening, you can have a barbecue in the backyard, soak in the hot spring, and swim in the super large pool. After swimming, enjoy a barbecue feast for an even more satisfying experience!
Note: Free barbecue grills, disposable tableware, barbecue nets, and charcoal are provided. You need to bring your own ingredients and other barbecue consumables (you can book a barbecue or whole lamb package).
On the second day, you can also visit a nearby farm to experience the fun of picking fruit, which is super fun.
◆ Wanguoyuan
You can pick fruits in Wanguoyuan, such as high-quality strawberries, Wogan, Zengcheng late cabbage, dragon fruit, and more.
In this season of blue skies and white clouds, you must come to the orchard to enjoy the fun of picking fruit in the sun.
◆ Baishuizhai Scenic Area
Baishuizhai Scenic Area has rare natural ecological resources in Guangdong, such as virgin forests, shallow wetlands, and canyon sky pools. The most striking feature is the Baishuixian Waterfall, the largest waterfall in mainland China, with a drop of 428.5 meters.

It's not Sichuan West, it's Guangzhou!
Hiking through the canyon, trekking up to the waterfalls is so beautiful
Family, do you understand that feeling?
Walking and suddenly in front of you is a vertical waterfall, that irresistible urge to run towards freedom
The more I walk, the more amazed I am! Why didn't I recommend the rocky cliffs and trekking waterfalls to everyone sooner, it's really so so so healing I swear, I've really been here 6789 times!
Highly recommend coming here on weekends to relax, breathe in the full negative ions
Travel tips:
1 It's suggested to start in the morning, reserve 4 hours for a visit! It's very comfortable, there are many stream trekking spots at the foot of the mountain! Dipping your little feet in the water is very cool!
2 There are no sightseeing cars here, remember to wear comfortable sports shoes! There's basically shade from trees all the way, not sunny at all, but there are mosquitoes haha, you can bring mosquito repellent
3 There are said to be a total of 9999 steps, walking and stopping to take pictures is actually not tiring at all! The steps are all wooden plank paths, which are not leg-weary to walk on!
4 Along the way, there are rocky cliffs, streams, waterfalls, matched with the green water, it really has a bit of the Sichuan West vibe!
5 If you're not physically strong, walking up to 2499 is actually enough! The essence is all there!
6 Taking photos with a crying phone is also completely ok! Especially taking live pictures is very lively

Really in Qingyuan! Not in Semporna!!!!
Who would understand! I thought I was coming here to see the Cliff Waterfall, but I was captivated by the scenery along the way, with primeval forests, cliff waterfalls, canyon pools, shallow wetlands, and more, truly like a secluded valley hidden in the deep mountains.
It only takes 1.5 hours from Dongguan, and here you have Guangdong's longest hiking trail and the waterfall with the largest drop in mainland China (Bai Shuixian Waterfall), but the scenic area is not crowded. You can take photos and play around freely, and all the way there are streams and waterfalls, which are incredibly cool. It's perfect for a weekend hike to relax and breathe in the oxygen.
About hiking:
① The highest peak here is 1088 meters above sea level, with a total of 9999 steps, among which 699 steps (Shuanglonghui) and 1499 steps (Puming Platform) are the best spots to view the waterfalls.
② For those with average physical strength, you can hike to 1499 steps (Puming Platform) or 2199 steps (Qinpu Platform) and then descend the mountain, which is expected to take about 1.5 hours.
③ Those with good physical strength can directly challenge the highest point at 4099 steps (Xianggu Heavenly Pool), which is expected to take 2-3 hours, but be sure to reserve time for descending the mountain. Security generally advises visitors to start descending around 5 pm.
√ Tips for visiting:
① Be prepared for sun protection and mosquito repellent, as there are generally more mosquitoes in the mountains.
② It is recommended to bring some mineral water and snacks to replenish energy, and there will be small shops and restrooms along the way.
③ There is a stream at the foot of the mountain where you can play in the water and trace upstream.

If you come to Guangzhou, you must visit Baisuizhai once
I don't understand why such a beautiful scenic spot in Guangzhou is not well-known. I went there twice this month and there were few people, but the scenery is really beautiful! It must be the most beautiful summer retreat I've been to in Guangzhou.🗺
🏞The hanging bridges between the cliffs, the streams flowing underfoot, and the waterfalls descending from the mountain top. The spectacular view is like a scene from a fantasy drama. And the blue lake water, really is no less than Guizhou! I don't allow anyone in Guangzhou to not know about this place, everyone must go~
⏰️About the visit
The mountain is 1088 meters above sea level, and it is expected to take 2-3 hours to reach the summit. If you don't climb to the top, you can walk to the 2199 steps to the most spectacular waterfall (Qinbao Platform) which is expected to take about 1 hour.
🧭◆Friends with good physical strength can climb to the top of 4099 steps (Xiangun Tianchi). Reaching the top also gives you a chance to see the sea of clouds~(The last photo is at 3699 steps)
⛰️Many places are not reached by the sun, and the water flow after the rain and the wind driven by the waterfall are very strong, and there will be a lot of small rainwater drifting over, so it is recommended to wear an extra piece of clothing. So I wore an extra windproof and waterproof jacket. It is very suitable for unpredictable weather, and even if it rains, you won't be afraid of catching a cold.
📍Address: Baisuizhai Scenic Area, Zengcheng, Guangzhou
🎟Ticket: 56 yuan
🛑Parking: There is a parking lot after arrival, 10 yuan per vehicle
There are many farmhouses nearby, famous bamboo tube rice and roast duck are worth tasting. There will also be local fruits and specialties: such as lychees, Sanhua plums, etc.,
◆⏱️If time permits, you can stay for one night. The nearby holiday environment is very good, and you can stay in a two-bedroom and one-living room for 300 yuan, including hot springs. It's quite suitable for a holiday trip~

After the tour, choose to hike on the weekend to exercise and incidentally forget the worries accumulated during the workdays, isn't it wonderful😝
