Guide to climbing Maoming Sanguanding Peak at night + things to note⚠️ 1. Departure method: It is recommended to travel by car and navigate directly to "Niucheping", where there is a parking lot. Park at the "Niucheping Parking Lot", not at the foot of the mountain, otherwise you have to climb a long cement road, about 4 kilometers, and it is very steep. If you take a bus with a group, it can only stop at the foot of the mountain, but you can also ask nearby villagers to drive their private cars or motorcycles to the trailhead for about 15💰 yuan/person. It’s really worth it to test it yourself, otherwise a novice might have exhausted most of his strength just by walking to the trailhead. 2. Prepare supplies: 1. Clothing: Wear short sleeves or thin long sleeves (wear during climbing), a jacket or a thick windproof jacket (wear when the wind and fog are very strong on the mountain), choose comfortable and waterproof pants, and the best shoes Wear non-slip hiking shoes🥾, and you can also buy a sports insole to make walking more comfortable. 2. Necessary items: hiking poles (preferably bring two or at least one), water (2-3 bottles of water), food (beef jerky, chocolate, fruit, bread, etc.), flashlight 🔦 or headlamp, Disposable raincoat, hat 🧢 (your hair will look ugly after climbing, so wear it if you don’t want to die in society), mask (wear it higher when the wind is strong so you can breathe better), power bank, sunglasses (a great tool for taking pictures), gloves 🧤, eye drops ( Sand may get into eyes), mosquito repellent, etc. 3. 🧗Mountain climbing road: The whole journey up the mountain is about 7 kilometers, 🕑starts at 2 o'clock in the morning and reaches the top of the mountain at 5:30⛰️. There is no danger in the first half hour. It is a pure stone road. When you see the grass, it is a formal mountain climbing. We were climbing from 2:40 to 5:30, with the highest slope reaching 70 degrees. 4. Go together: Generally, the large group will start setting off around 2 o'clock. If there are few people, it is recommended to follow the large group. People who travel alone can also meet friends on the road🧑‍🤝‍🧑 and it is also a good experience. 5. Things to note: 1. Pay attention to the weather forecast. Generally, you can see the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds on a clear day (although I didn't see the sunrise either). Be cautious on cloudy and overcast days; When the wind is strong, the center of gravity may be unstable, so it is best to rest where you are before continuing! 2. You may encounter cows on the mountain, so don't get too close. It's also best not to use a flash when taking pictures of cows, for fear of disturbing them and hurting people. The lawn scenery on the top of the mountain is really stunning. No matter how tired you are, you must take more photos and videos to record it! ! Otherwise, you may regret not taking more photos when you go down the mountain. Climbing Sanguanding at night is dangerous. It is recommended that you be fully prepared before climbing the mountain and pay attention to safety!

Now in this season, you can also lie on the grass and watch the starry sky without feeling cold (you need to prepare a jacket) Sunrise: Sanguan Mountain has a unique sunrise, where you can see the dawn breaking until the sun rises. Many places do not have the opportunity to see the dawn breaking (in summer, the sunrise starts at 5 am and the sun is completely out by 6 am). The best place to watch the sunrise is at Sanguan Top or the mountain head before reaching Sanguan Top. You can't see it from other places on the mountain Sea of clouds: The unique geographical location of Sanguan Mountain makes the probability of forming a sea of clouds particularly high, whether it's a sunny or rainy day, there's a chance to encounter the spectacle of a sea of clouds.

Route: Steel Village 1.2.6KM Niucheping 1.9KM Meadow 1 1.5KM to Sanguanding to 3.5KM to Niucheping. You can watch the vlog of the whole journey on my homepage "Sanguanding·Green Field in the Clouds" Total time: If you start from Niucheping, 4 hours round trip is enough It is a very simple route from Niucheping to Sanguanding, and because of this it has attracted more and more people recently, so here is a summary of information that may be useful to novices who have no hiking experience: 【parking Now, if you go on weekends or holidays, don’t think about driving to Niucheping. The small cement road in Niucheping is basically a single lane. If you want to stop for the sake of convenience, you will probably be stuck on the road. And on this one-way street, if you are blocked, you can only sit and wait. In a word: 2.6 kilometers may take 40 minutes to walk, and walking is a good way to warm up for climbing. ​[Equipment] 1. Trekking poles, although you can also pick up branches, but the branches are not that smooth. It is best to wear gloves when picking up branches to use as trekking poles, otherwise the skin of your palms will be broken... 2. Raincoat. After all, the altitude of Sanguanding is over 1,000 meters and it is surrounded by mountainous areas. The weather on the top of the mountain is difficult to predict, especially when climbing at night. If it rains and winds, there is no place to hide on the bare grassy slopes of the top of the mountain. 3. Backpack, Sanguanding also needs to bring at least 4-5 bottles of water to ensure that you will not be particularly thirsty throughout the journey. Seeing that night climbing is very popular now, you should also pay attention to the following when hiking at night: 1. Be sure to bring a jacket. You can wear less clothing when climbing. However, the top of the mountain is very empty and the temperature changes in the early morning are difficult to predict. If you don’t wear a jacket, you will probably get sick when you come down. 2. I don’t recommend rushing up in the rain, or struggling on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, just to see the sea of ​​clouds. We are not really special forces, and our equipment cannot withstand these extreme weather conditions. Seas of clouds can be found everywhere. Dananshan can be seen by car, so there is no need to risk your life for the sea of ​​clouds. Although Sanguan Mountain is very simple and beautiful, we must face the fact that this is a wilderness. There was a small problem last time. It took 28 hours for the rescue to send people down the mountain. If you don’t bring a good coat or raincoat, just a single layer of clothing in case of encounter In this case, you have to think about whether you can wait for rescue for 28+ hours. Finally, I can only appeal to everyone to take away all the garbage, and it is best not to throw it in Niucheping (because there are trash cans in Niucheping, but they are already full).

San Guan Summit is also known as the 'Guangdong's Little Switzerland' or the western Guangdong version of 'Little Wugong Mountain'. In summer, the forest is lush, the grass is continuous, there are many streams, herds of cattle and sheep, and piles of strange rocks! You always have to hike to the top to see the scenery for yourself. The moment the cell phone signal disappears, I seem to find myself again - casual and free, hiking on the summit overlooking the endless high mountain meadows, watching the sunrise over the sea of clouds, and every visit is stunning! It's perfect for a weekend getaway, to breathe some fresh air, and take some photos. 📍Location: Niuche Ping, Gaozhou City, Maoming, Guangdong Province (You can drive to the parking lot above, which is also the starting point for the hike up the mountain) 🚶🏻‍♂️‍➡️Hiking route: Dawudi-Daqiaoding-Wahuangbao-San Guan Summit-Niuche Ping ⏰Total time: The whole journey is 13.8 kilometers, it took us almost 8 hours for our first night climb 【Route Difficulty】 From the parking lot at Niuche Ping, follow the uphill road on the left to the first meadow plateau, which is a farm road with a gentle slope and no scenery, which can be quite boring. There are many stones on the road, so watch your step (about 2.5 kilometers on foot, taking 1.5 hours) • From the meadow plateau, keep left and follow the ridge line of the meadow all the way up, and after about five mountain tops, you'll reach 'San Guan Summit'. This stretch of high mountain meadows is truly comparable to Wugong Mountain 【San Guan Mountain Scenery】 1️⃣High mountain meadows: Within the province of Guangdong, only the high mountain meadows of 'San Guan Mountain' can compare with Wugong Mountain 2️⃣Starry sky: San Guan Mountain is remote and pristine, with few light sources nearby, so on clear nights, you can usually see a sky full of stars. In this season, you can also lie on the grass to watch the starry sky without feeling cold 3️⃣Sunrise: The sunrise at San Guan Mountain is unique; you can watch the dawn break until the sun rises. Many places do not have the opportunity to see the dawn of sunrise (the sunrise time in summer starts at 5 am and the sun is completely out by 6 am). The best spot to watch the sunrise is at San Guan Summit or the mountain top before reaching San Guan Summit. You can't see it from other places on the mountain 〇Mountain Climbing Tips ①It is best to start climbing the mountain between 2:30-3:00 am, just in time for the sunrise at the summit ②Check the weather before you set off, and quickly descend if you encounter rain or thunderstorms ③There are many water buffaloes on the mountain, so do not wear red clothes or flaunt yourself within the sight of the buffaloes. You should quickly leave their field of vision ④Bring a jacket/windbreaker, raincoat, trekking poles, and knee pads (wear them when descending to protect your knees) ⑤There are no supplies on the mountain, so you need to bring your own food and drink, and you must take your own trash with you

The mountain does not see me, I go to see the mountain What's at the end of the road is no longer important. But the view from the top of the mountain is definitely worth it! There are also beautiful high mountain meadows in Guangdong. How can you appreciate the endless beauty without climbing to San Guan Peak?
