Mountains
Address:
Xindongzhen,
Gaozhou, Maoming, Guangdong, China
Recommended sightseeing time:
0.5-1 day
Three Officials Mountain is great, I'll come again next time
Three Officials Mountain has several route options:
① Short Loop 8Km, approximately 6-7h
② Medium Loop 12km, approximately 8-9h

(Everyone can choose the route according to their physical strength. Beginners should choose the short loop, which is definitely not wrong. Walking the long loop requires a certain level of physical fitness, and the scenery will be more beautiful. Check the weather before setting off.)
🔸 About leeches:
I didn't encounter or see any throughout the journey, but just in case, I suggest you bring some essential balm.
🔸 Address: Yuntan Town, Gaozhou, Maoming City, Guangdong Province
🔸 Hotel: Yuntan Boutique Hotel

The beauty of tens of thousands of acres of alpine meadows

📍Location: Gangtie Village, Xinhuan Town, Gaozhou City
Navigation: Niuche Ping, Gaozhou City
Altitude: Sanguan Top 1252 meters
Hiking: 8 kilometers round trip from Niuche Ping, with a total ascent of 700 meters
⚠The difficulty of the round trip is actually very friendly to beginners (do not take the sedan official line at night), a little bit more difficult than Moligong, but much easier than Danan Mountain
What does Sanguan Mountain have❓
Alpine meadow: In the province of Guangdong, only the 'Sanguan Mountain' alpine meadow can compare with Wugong Mountain
Starry sky: Sanguan Mountain is very remote and remains pristine, with not many light sources nearby, so as long as it's a clear day, it's basically a sky full of stars. 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.
Why is 'Sanguan Mountain' suitable for night climbing❓
: The hiking trail of Sanguan Mountain is clear, the road is open, and there are no dangerous sections such as dense forests, streams, cliffs, and precipices
: Climbing at night just in time to see the sunrise at the summit, and after daylight, another panorama of the endless alpine meadows appears before your eyes.
: Compared to the heat of the day, night climbing is more relaxed, and you have a sky full of stars for company. This is also a unique hiking experience!

First, the route departure route: Beginners are recommended to take the Niucheping-Sanguan Top round-trip route, with a total distance of about 7.5 kilometers, which is relatively friendly.
If you drive by yourself: Car navigation: Niucheping, you can park for free. The mountain road has sharp bends, leave it to the old driver
Altitude 1257m, about 2.5 hours up the mountain, about 3 hours down the mountain.
The mountain road has eighteen bends, the road is narrow and it is difficult to meet the car. Those with low chassis and no experience are afraid that they will not be able to drive up. It is recommended to charter a car.
(Don't call one-way, the cheapest platform express will cost 180 to pick up and return 360. It's hard to get a taxi in the mountains, and there may not be a car to return.)
