Sanguan Mountain in Gaoshan, western Guangdong, has long been a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts and a treasured hiking route. In recent years, thanks to some bloggers and online publicity, this hidden gem has been discovered by more and more people who come to visit. 📍Address: Sanguan Mountain Scenic Area, Niucheping Village, Gaoshan, Maoming, Guangdong 🚉Transportation: Only accessible by car, no public transportation. The road to the scenic area is actually a village road, the entrance is not wide, and it's easy to get lost. Don't set your navigation to Sanguan Mountain, set it to Niucheping Village (drive straight in when you see the archway in the picture). We took the wrong road and had to turn back. The village roads here are very narrow, and it's difficult to pass other cars. Most of the roads are single-lane. 💰Average cost: No tickets are required for now, free of charge. There is a free public parking lot, so you don't have to park at a farmer's house (they charge CNY 20 per car). ⏳Time: 6–8 hours (we recommend setting off in the morning, as there are no street lights in the scenic area at night). 🌟Highlights: Beautiful mountain scenery, a niche hiking route, and a chance to challenge yourself. 📝Tips: 1. Be prepared, the road here is really not easy to walk, a long section is a dirt and stone road, which is quite tiring. 2. The scenery along the way is good, but not amazing, just average. 3. Parking spaces are very limited, and there is a distance from the hiking spot to the parking lot. 4. Bring water and snacks.

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!

The scenery is beautiful and worth seeing. It is suitable for night owls who like to hike. The descent is very taxing on the knees, and the whole journey is on a wild road down a steep slope. Here are a few points for you Kind tips: We started climbing at four o'clock in the morning. It was already dawn when we reached the small peak, and we couldn't see the sunrise. Friends who want to see the sunrise must go early, as parking spaces are easier to find. There are no lights when climbing a mountain at night, so you can't see the road at all. You have to walk together to prevent the lighting equipment from running out of power and losing contact. The mountain road is quite winding and has to pass through a village and a series of alleys. There are also some sharp turns and steep slopes on the road, so experienced drivers are recommended to drive. The parking lot is dirt and prone to collapse. When we arrived, a car got stuck, causing a huge traffic jam and unable to enter the parking lot, which wasted a lot of time. It is best to bring a waterproof jacket or a long-sleeved jacket. Although you will sweat when climbing, it will still be quite cold at the top of the mountain. The wind is strong and the fog is heavy, and it is easy to catch a cold. Bring a sweat towel to wipe your hair and back. You should prepare trekking poles as they can help you go up and down slopes and reduce knee damage.
