Huizhou Danao Mountain
You will only know the shock after visiting once. High mountain meadows, plateau scenery, and misty sea of clouds are all its labels! The ridges are undulating and magnificent. Climbing all the way, you can see the mountains at a glance. If your physical strength allows, you can climb to the Axe Stone, and you will truly feel the sensation of standing at the top and viewing all the small mountains!
Located at the junction of Huidong County and Haifeng County, Danao Mountain is a mountain range connected by five mountains. The main peak, Axe Stone, has an altitude of 1105 meters and is connected with five peaks: Shuibi Mountain, Niupi Mountain, Jinpai Mountain, and Yinpai Mountain! You can plan your trip during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.
Climbing route: Longyan Temple - Axe Stone - Dawang Temple
One-day tour suggestion: Start from the Longyan Temple Big Banyan Tree climbing entrance, pass through A9 and the marshland, climb to the top of Axe Stone, then descend along the ridge route to Dawang Temple, about 12KM.
Two-day tour suggestion: On the first day, follow the one-day tour route to the top and choose to camp. On the second day, climb other peaks such as Shuibi Mountain and Niupi Mountain.
Hiking time: 7-8H
Mountain road conditions: Mountain road (no steps)
Worth noting: There are no supplies or restrooms along the way (there are at the destination). Off-road vehicles can also reach the top (but the road conditions are somewhat bumpy, so be cautious).
Scenic spots along the way: Axe Stone (high point, you can overlook the sea of clouds from the top), Reed Sea (a large area of reeds between the mountains, picturesque in autumn and winter, the peak season for the Reed Sea is from late October to November), Marshland (can camp, can see the starry sky at night), Longyan Temple (an ancient temple with more than 300 years of history).
Small tips: Bring enough food and water. Due to the high physical exertion, you can bring functional drinks; there is no shelter along the way, so be prepared for sun protection and wear long sleeves and pants to prevent mosquito bites; there are many steep slopes and gravel roads, so wear non-slip hiking shoes and preferably bring trekking poles; the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, it may rain at any time; it is recommended to travel by car or with a group.

Guangdong's version of Wugong Mountain offers healing in the great outdoors without a ceiling
Huizhou's Lahu Trail is the Guangdong version of the Wugong Mountain prairie, located in the Huidong area, part of the Da Nan Mountain range, and is one of the most beautiful outdoor scenic spots in Huizhou. Trekking through the knife-like Camel Mountain, one can view the sea of clouds, and the vast grasslands in summer are lush and pleasing to the eye.
The starting point of this route is Lahu Village, and along the way, it passes through forests, steep slopes, bamboo groves, and cliffs, eventually reaching near Nanshan Village.
🚗Transport
A 20-person AA group chartered a minibus, gathering at Liuyue subway station at 08:30 in the morning and departing for the hiking starting point at about 10:30, with the journey taking approximately 2 hours.
Total distance: 18.8km
Altitude: 1289m
Duration: 10h
【Road Conditions】
1️⃣The first 3 kilometers are relatively flat dirt roads (taking about an hour).
2️⃣The cliff section is very challenging for those who don't often rock climb, with an incline of nearly 80 degrees, and exposed rocks.

【Equipment Suggestions】
1️⃣Hiking boots, trekking poles, gloves, and knee pads are needed.
2️⃣Be sure to bring enough water, as there are no supply points on the mountain.

The Little Wugong Mountain of Guangdong people~~Huidong's Big Nanshan
, Located at the junction of Zengguang Town, Huidong County and Haifeng County, this area is full of towering peaks, deep forests and secluded ravines. White ribbons flutter around the mountain waist, and streams rush under the mountain. Three to five villages are scattered among them, just like a paradise.
Because of the famous Nanshan Temple and Nanshan River, it is collectively referred to as Nanshan.
Today, I revisited the Big Nanshan on the Three Stars Line. The grass on the top of the mountain has turned yellow in winter, giving a bit of a golden Wugong Mountain feel. Although the journey is a bit difficult and a bit long, most of it is uphill and uneven with many gravel mechanized roads, but this time I finally climbed to the highest peak, the Axe Stone ...
