Outdoor Hiking Go to the mountains to breathe oxygen! ▫️Today I took a 📍unpopular route: Daguzhang-Egongji-Yuanshan Scenic Area through hiking! (Please refer to the two-step route, ID: Erwu) ▪️This route is about 10 kilometers in total, with a cumulative climb of about 800 meters. The difficulty coefficient is three stars (depends on the individual). The entire journey takes 6 hours (including time for taking photos and resting), leaving the hustle and bustle of the city far behind. ▫️The route is well-established, with few forks in the road. 🚇Subway station at the mountain entrance: Exit C, Nanyue Take Exit C to the No. 10 Bridge Trailhead, about 3.6 kilometers, and a taxi costs about 12 yuan 🚇Xiashankou Metro: Henggang Metro Station Go down the mountain to the main entrance of Yuanshan Scenic Area and go to Henggang Subway Station, about 3.9 kilometers away. The taxi fare is about 14 yuan. 💵Tickets: Free ⚠️Notes: ▫️The first 2/3 of the journey is uphill dirt road. At the beginning, there is a big slope that will raise your heart rate. Remember to wear non-slip hiking shoes🥾, bring hiking poles🧗 and sun hats, and travel with companions. ▫️There are several small supply points along the way (someone sells water on the mountain on weekends, uncertain on weekdays), so bring enough water and dry food. ‼ ️Key point: There are no toilets along the way🚻. There are toilets and a canteen near the main entrance of Yuanshan Scenic Area and almost at the end. ▫️Starting from Daguzhang, walking along the winding mountain trail, you can feel the purest breath of the mountains and forests. ▪️The weather in February is very good. Today is suitable for mountain climbing. It is not too sunny and it is cloudy ☁️, which is very comfortable. It’s a pity that it is a bit foggy for taking pictures. 🧗Recommended photo spots: 1️⃣ Daguzhang After climbing to the first pavilion on Daguzhang and walking along the flat bamboo forest road for a few minutes to reach the second pavilion, you will see the "Little Thousand Island Lake" (Sanzhoutian Reservoir). The scenery is superb, but there are also a lot of people, so you need to queue up to grab a photo spot! Go back to the first pavilion, and continue forward from the fork on the right, heading towards the Egongji direction, and you will reach Guangmingding (a big rock for resting). 2️⃣ Goose bun The cliff plank road has a strong sense of depth and is known as the Shenzhen version of "Little Zhangjiajie" (the sunset is beautiful when the weather is good) And the ray of light, the angle of view is very important (I didn’t take a picture) 3️⃣ Garden Hill Waterfall Camping site 🏕️ Miaojue Temple The road down the mountain in Yuanshan Scenic Area is all paved with stone steps, which is very tiring for the knees. ▫️Finally: Protect the environment and don’t litter🚮.

Originally planned to take only one route, but ended up taking both. The scenery of the Shenzhen version of Qiandao Lake is really good, but you need aerial photography or professional photography to get good photos. There were basically no people on the Daguzhang route, but the scenery along the Daguzhang route is better than that of Yantian Mountain. There are more people climbing Yantian Mountain, which is relatively safer, and you can basically meet people along the way.

E'gongjian is located within the Yuanshan Scenic Area of Longgang District, with an altitude of 618 meters, known as Shenzhen's 'Little Zhangjiajie', featuring a narrow and long aerial plank walkway. The surrounding trees are lush, the rocky mountains are stacked, the streams are gurgling, you can gaze into the distance at Henggang, or reach for the stars nearby, making it a great light hiking and hot spring route. Transportation Guide 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to 'Yuanshan Scenic Area', where there is a parking lot P inside the scenic area 🚌🚇Bus/Subway: Take the Line 3 subway back to Henggang Station, then transfer to bus 907 to the terminal station and walk 800 meters to arrive. 🎫Ticket: 15/person (no reservation required) Route: Miaojue Temple - Pagoda Forest - Biyutan - One Line Sky - E'gongjian - Guangming Peak - E'gongjian - Pineapple Ditch - Sancha Stream - Guandi Temple - Wishing Tree - Tiger Gully - Return to the starting point (highest altitude 618m) It is said to be the filming location of Balala the Fairies! And the whole mountain climbing journey has few people, making photography really enjoyable, not too sunny, and there's also stream water, so it's quite cool, truly the most comfortable climb I've had this year. But be sure to go with others, as there are many forks along the way and few signs, so it's essential to have company. Avoid paths with many branches, as it indicates fewer people have walked there. 🌸The scenic area includes attractions like Miaojue Temple, Pagoda Forest, Dakang Valley, E'gongjian, Tiger Gully, Guandi Temple, Triple Waterfalls, and more... 🌸Kind reminder: There are shops and restrooms at the foot of the mountain, but no supplies during the climb or at the peak, so be sure to bring enough water, and there are trash bins along the way. 🌸While the scenery is beautiful, remember to stay safe💕
