Deep within Guangzhou's Baiyun Mountain lies a treasure trove of a secret resort hotel, once a state guesthouse
It must have been over a decade since I last climbed Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain. What was it like to spend a night on Baiyun Mountain the night before last?
The Baiyun Mountain Villa is located in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, which is known as the 'Lung of Guangzhou City', surrounded by the natural scenery of blue sky, white clouds, clear water, and green forests. It has a long history and a profound cultural heritage, designed by the renowned Chinese Academy of Engineering academician and master architect Mo Bozhi. The building is constructed according to the mountain terrain and is famous for its unique garden design. When guests enter the hotel rooms, they slowly ascend from the first to the fifth floor without feeling tired, which is a clever design by the architect! The room layout is reasonable, comfortable, warm, and elegant, making guests feel at home!
The next day, I successfully climbed to the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, Moxing Ridge, at an altitude of 328 meters, overlooking the bustling areas of Guangzhou, with a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery!

Hi_Lina
Good hike if the weather is good
Baiyun is the iconic mountain in Guangzhou. Baiyun means “White clouds” in Chinese and it’s indeed worthy of its name. You can clim or take cable car to Moxing Peak, its highest point, to have the view of the surrounding.
They have different trails for you to try. I came in March and the weather was very pleasant for the hike. The air is so fresh here, no wonder it is called the lung of Guangzhou. Along the way, you can spot local flowers blossomed in springtime too.
They do have cable car or buggy service to bring you up to certain levels and you can continue to climb up from there. We recommend to take the cable car up and hike downhill if your time is limited.

Spring comes early in Guangzhou and peach and plum blossoms arrive, appropriately, with Spring Festival. I lived in Guangzhou for three years and I never saw the famous peach garden in Baiyun Mountain 白云山公园 in bloom until I returned for a visit this year. What a pleasant surprise! There were lots of people there but it didn't feel crowded as the peach garden is quite big. Normally access to this part of the park is included in the usual Baiyun Mountain entrance (5RMB) but during the peach blossom season another ticket is required (another 5 kuai); it's well worth the price of admission. In addition to the peach blossoms there are magnolias, bougainvillea and many others. Bring a camera or a picnic and spend a few hours under the pink and white blossoms. The peach grove is roughly in the middle of Baiyun Mountain Park so it will probably take most people an hour to walk there; the east gate near Meihuayuan Metro Station 梅花园地铁站 is the closest, I think (but has a steep stairs-only ascent; the west gate entrance is further but more gradual.) If you're not up to walking there it's possible to take the mini shuttle from the west gate or the top of the cable car. Some parts of the peach garden would not be accessible for those with mobility issues, but the main paths near the gate should be okay.
Time: mid-February
Cost: 10 yuan (5 for park entrance, 5 for garden entrance)
Recommended for: Photographers, lovers, elders, families...

白云山, known as Baiyun mountain as well. This is very famous mountain located in Guangzhou city, could be accessed by subway. It has numerous paths to climb or go down, but main road is preferential due to avoiding getting lost. From different platforms the panoramic view of the city is available. The summit is about 1900 meters above the see level. Visitors like to take a pictures there.

A good place for the Qingming holiday | Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain has opened a new zip line
as a daring Bao Tiantian sister, before watching "Wife's romantic travel" inside Ying children playing crying shouting snorkeling, thoroughly It evokes the desire of my challenge. My good friend said that many countries have this project, but I have never had a chance to try it. I didnt expect such a stimulating zip line to come to Guangzhou. Of course, I have to play ducks for the first time!
After the weekend, I went to Baiyun Mountain and went straight to Baiyunfei, because the project is too new. Not many people know that when I went, it was about 10:30, and there were still many warriors who passed through. Small team, I am going to marry my girlfriend to scan the QR code to buy a ticket.
After the successful purchase, there will be a guarantee to be filled out. It is probably the details of the project. Please note that after filling in, you can wait in line directly. Every time there are restrictions on the number of visitors, there will be a little brother and sister. Everyone explained the details of the zip line, and also prepared a rubber band to tie the hair to the goddess!
Everyone will send a seat equipment, after the staff put on the help to do the final confirmation, and then go to weight! There will be two cards of different colors tied to the device, the green is lighter, the red is slightly heavier (don't ask me what color it is)
After wearing the device, you can take pictures on the platform now! The environment is really pretty! Almost as far as going downstairs, there will be staff to ensure safety and equipment adjustment, so don't worry about ducks! Will also help you crazy patted ~
will be divided into tracks, then the next 30 seconds to enjoy the "fly"!

Unveiling Baiyun Mountain to the world and taking a step into this dreamy place in China.

The bald cypress trees in Baiyun District of Guangzhou are a bit red and a bit yellow, and they look very pretty
What a surprise, the bald cypress trees in Guangzhou have turned red! 🤩🤩
No need to wait until the end of December, no need to envy the romantic snowy days of the north ❄️
Guangzhou's romantic winter has arrived 🥰
-
Recently, in order to photograph the bald cypress trees, I have to go hiking every week, waiting for that picturesque scenery, it's really worth it
-This patch of bald cypress trees is right next to the Huangpo Cave Reservoir on Baiyun Mountain, not too many, but the angle is good for taking pictures and getting good shots, especially when the sun is shining brightly, a casual snap is enough to wow your friends circle-
The bald cypress trees have not all turned red, some are red and some are green, which gives a more layered feel, saying it's a forest dyed in layers is not an exaggeration at all
-
This year's beauty of the bald cypress trees is different from previous years, the reservoir has built a plank road, the ground is dry, you can directly rush into this forest grassland, and observe and photograph up close.
The light and shadow on the ground, the mottled tree shadows swaying, so beautiful, and there is a small stream flowing through the bald cypress forest, it's simply too beautiful!
📝tips:
1 Definitely come when it's sunny ☀️ the weather is good and the light is beautiful
2 It is recommended to bring a telephoto lens, using the telephoto can obtain a depth of field.
🔮Must-photograph spots🔮
1 Bald cypress trees - light and shadow with a sense of depth
2 Maple leaves 🍁 overhead shot or silhouette
3 Long embankment - looking up gives a Japanese feel
💎Clothing: It is recommended to wear red, black, white, brown, especially pretty

Guangzhou, known as the romantic city of flowers, truly lives up to its name, with the Garden Expo far ahead!
Whoever says Guangzhou is only suitable for clocking in at work and not for tourism, I'll give them a talking to.
In other cities, it's the season for snow and warming fires,
But here in our great Guangzhou, the flowers are already in full bloom!
Especially since the Guangzhou Garden Expo opens on February 4th,
Everywhere is filled with flowers, as if surrounded by a sea of flowers!
With carefully designed horticultural arrangements and occasional mists, it's like a fairyland.
Flower City Guangzhou is going to be extraordinary!
-
As the main venue, Baiyun Mountain has already been well prepared in advance.
The setting is basically complete.
Floral waterfalls, floating forests, fairy tale gardens...
I've put together this photo and travel guide for the Garden Expo (Baiyun Mountain main venue).
Go play during the Spring Festival holiday, just copy this homework!
-
🌸Travel Guide:
💛Baiyun Mountain main venue, divided into Mingzhu Tower, Mingspring Valley, and Yuntai Garden❸ exhibition areas.
✔️Mingzhu Tower area: Baiyun Mountain West Gate➠Mingzhu Tower➠Baiyun Pine Waves (total 4 kilometers).
✔️Mingspring Valley area: Baiyun Mountain South Gate➠Big Lawn➠Mountain Top Plaza (total 2 kilometers).
These two areas can be toured together, and it takes at least 2 hours to complete the full journey. If you don't want to walk the whole way, there are sightseeing cars available at the West Gate, South Gate, beside Mingzhu Lake and Peach Blossom Stream, and at the Mountain Top Plaza, with fares ranging from 10-15 per person depending on the distance.
💛The Mingzhu Tower area has more exhibits, so if you're short on time, it's recommended to visit this area. Enter from the West Gate of Baiyun Mountain and walk to Mingzhu Lake, with a sea of flowers all along the way.
💛There are really a lot of exhibits this time, each integrating the characteristics of their respective areas, with creativity and visual effects💯. Here are a few of my favorites:
✅Panyu District 'Floating Light Islands': Combining elements of Shawan Piaose and Dripping Water Rock Forest Park to create a floating island.
✅Nanzhu District 'Sea・Cloud Valley': The scattered stairs with flowers, flowing water, and mist are especially beautiful.
✅Liwan District 'Childhood Time': Themed around Guangdong nursery rhymes, with familiar background music like 'Heavy Rain, Streets Flooded' and 'Whose Rooster Crows, Whose Guess'... Full of childhood memories.
✅Conghua District 'Red Leaves Drifting Home': They really brought over the red leaves from Shimen! There's also a little grass house, a dreamy fairy tale garden~
💛During the Yuntai Garden Expo, there's also the annual tulip flower show, with 100,000 tulips blooming dreamily, like a real-life Monet's garden.

LAWRENCE LUCAS
Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area in Guangzhou
During the Spring Festival period of 2024, my journey to the south was filled with good fortune, with a festive atmosphere everywhere I went.
Although I have been to Guangzhou many times, this was my first visit to Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Fortunately, there was a flower exhibition on Baiyun Mountain, which truly showed the deep love the people of Guangzhou have for flowers. As for orchids, it was also the first time I saw so many varieties, pleasing to both the eye and the mind!
Although the weather was not ideal, after reaching the top of Baiyun Mountain, I couldn't get a clear view of the entire city of Guangzhou, but there was a kind of hazy beauty. I could still vaguely see parts of Guangzhou, and I look forward to another opportunity to visit Baiyun Mountain!
Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is located in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, and is one of the famous mountains in southern China, historically known as 'the most beautiful scenery in the City of Rams'. Baiyun Mountain has always been a famous scenic spot in Guangzhou. Places like 'Pujian Lianquan' and 'Evening View of Baiyun' were among the ancient 'Eight Sights of Yangcheng' and it is the first national AAAAA-level tourist attraction in the Guangzhou scenic area industry. It is also the only scenic area in Guangzhou that has both the honors of National Civilized Scenic Tourist Area and National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction.
Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area has seven tourist areas from south to north, namely: Luhu Scenic Area, Santailing Scenic Area, Mingshun Valley Scenic Area, Moxing Ridge Scenic Area, Mingzhu Tower Scenic Area, Fei'e Ridge Scenic Area, and Heyi Ridge Scenic Area. There are three 'largest in the nation' attractions within the area: the largest garden-style garden in China—Yuntai Garden; the largest natural-style birdcage—Mingshun Valley; and the largest theme-style sculpture specialty park—Sculpture Park.
The 'Ancient Notes of Yangcheng' says: 'Whenever the autumn sky is clear, white clouds lushly rise, covering half the mountain in white, hence the name Baiyun (White Clouds)', which is the origin of the name Baiyun Mountain.
Baiyun Mountain is not only picturesque but also has a rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Neolithic prehistoric cultural site at Huangpo Cave in the north of the mountain. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the hermit Zheng Anqi lived on Baiyun Mountain, gathering herbs to help the world, and 'ascended to immortality' from Baiyun Mountain. During the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong practiced alchemy on Baiyun Mountain and wrote the famous Taoist work 'Baopuzi'. During the Southern Liang Dynasty, Chan Master Jing Tai came here to build a temple, which was the earliest temple on Baiyun Mountain, leaving behind the sight 'Jing Tai Monk Returns', one of the old Eight Sights of Yangcheng. After the Tang and Song dynasties, literati such as Du Shenyan, Li Qunyu, Su Shi, and Han Yu climbed the mountain to compose poetry. Their literary works, imbued with emotions and nature, became a precious historical and spiritual wealth of Lingnan.

I have a date with spring
March is the season when Baiyun Mountain is bathed in splendid spring light, with warm sunshine and the fragrance of birds and flowers everywhere. Flowers vie for beauty, full of life and vitality everywhere.
The season of spring is a time of warming yet still chilly. By the stream, on Baiyun Mountain, clusters and dots of flowers are scattered about. Amidst the colorful sea of flowers, it feels like entering a dreamlike fairyland. Flowers of various colors bloom competitively, red with passion, yellow with brightness, blue with depth, green with life, and purple with mystery. Ah! Beauty and hope fill the heart, with the grass growing and the orioles flying, composing a vibrant and colorful painting.
I love the wind of March, the warmth of a ten-mile spring breeze, and the picturesque scenery accompanying us through the seasons. The layered peaks of Baiyun Mountain, the green babbling streams, are full of blooming flowers and a myriad of weather, all the beauty arrives as promised!
All tenderness and romance are hidden in the flowers, I have a date with spring.

No doubt it's you! Guangzhou, the city of flowers!
Today I went for a walk in Baiyun Mountain and happened to come across the 31st Guangzhou Garden Expo! It's really too beautiful! It's much better than those fake little Liwan Lake Monet gardens!
It costs five yuan to enter Baiyun Mountain. The Garden Expo officially starts tomorrow and seems to last until the 25th. At present, they are still stopping people from taking pictures, but they should open up interactive spaces later.
Enter from the west gate of Baiyun Mountain! Remember! As soon as you enter, you can visit and keep walking. Halfway through, you can take a detour to see the Huangpo Cave Reservoir, which is very calm and beautiful.
The real scene is definitely better than the photos. I have to wow at each one, it's too beautiful.
