Newly opened in Shenzhen! A hidden gem in the mountains.
The restaurant is located halfway up the mountain
You need to climb up the slope
As you go up, the air gradually becomes humid
The traces of the city gradually disappear
Where the sunset disappears
We meet
Poetic garden view
Mottled arch
Is my first impression of Qinglu
But when you walk into the room, you find a different world
As a private dish
Independent style private room is standard
Each room has a different style
Incense burner, tea table, even the inconspicuous teacup can see how much heart
This time before and after meals
Also become cute

Mount Yangtai Forest Park
#mountainview
Yangtaishan forest park or Mount Yangtai is a small mountain between Baoan, Nanshan and Longhua districts. It is a beautiful natural park and a great place for walking. There are several entrances around the park and there are different paths that snake around the park, with pavillions and rest stops placed frequently placed along its length.
The top of the mountain is 587m high so there are quite a few steps to climb to the very top. When reaching the peak you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the forest park, you can also see a high speed rail line to the west side of the park, and the city districts in the distance. There are some large reservoir lakes and small streams and waterfalls around the park.
I highly recommend bringing water and food with you if you decide to come hiking here as there arent any shops except outside the entrances.

Serenity Among the Clouds: The Green Wilderness of Yangtai Mountain
In the early morning, I stepped into Shenzhen's Yangtai Mountain Forest Park. The fresh air greeted me, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees and the moisture of morning dew, as if the entire forest was softly welcoming its visitors. The winding paths disappeared into the lush greenery, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows that added a poetic tranquility to the verdant landscape.
As I hiked up the mountain, the sounds of birds chirping and mountain springs flowing filled my ears, crisp and musical, accompanying each step forward. Occasionally, I would stop to look back, where layers of mountain ridges intertwined with the distant cityscape, forming a magnificent tableau. It felt as if only the tranquility of nature and the serenity of the soul remained between heaven and earth.
When I reached the summit, the view opened up before me. Clouds swirled around, and the peaks seemed to float above a vast ocean, with all the clamor isolated beyond the clouds. In that moment, I felt an immense sense of freedom and peace, as if my body and mind were purified by nature.
Yangtai Mountain Forest Park, like a green sanctuary, embraces the spirit of heaven and earth, offering a pure natural experience. This journey was not just a trip through mountains and waters, but also a cleansing and return of the soul.

Hiking on Yangtai Mountain, you must not miss the Yangtai Mountain station of the Shenzhen Hiking Association's public welfare activities.
If you come to Yangtai Mountain for hiking, whether you take the greenway or the countryside trails, it is highly recommended to visit the Yunxi Valley!

There is also a reading room where you can rest;
Even restrooms and drinking water are provided~
However, not many people come here,
It's perfect for those who love to get away from the hustle and bustle~
♡The Shenzhen Hiking Association has held outdoor public welfare activities at Yangtai Mountain several times, and the venue has always been here~
This shows its importance among all the scenic spots on Yangtai Mountain ❤️
Why not take some free time and spend 20 minutes in this park?
With lush greenery and clear streams, it's a great place to let your kids run free~
Or you can lay out a mat with a few friends, lie on the grass and enjoy the breeze, which is also nice~

🌊 Stream tracing adventure, starting from the Shiyan Archway of Yangtai Mountain, every step is filled with a refreshing rhythm. Turn left at the Zhiyin Pavilion trailhead, and the stream tracing boardwalk leads you deep into the embrace of nature. The sound of water along the way is like the most melodious symphony of nature. 👣🎵

Direct access by subway! The coolest creek tracing spot in Shenzhen
The weekend is hot, and I wanted to find a place to cool off, so I found the Yantian Mountain Creek Tracing Trail in Shenzhen. It's directly accessible by subway, and you don't have to climb high mountains, perfect for lazy people.
🗓Route: From Dalang Victory Rescue Square, walk up the greenway on the right side of the square, turn right at the fork, and get on the Longhua Ring City Greenway, heading towards Guanhu Pavilion. Note that there is a fork on the road leading to the top of Yantian Mountain, don't go that way. We're here to play in the water, not to challenge mountain climbing.
Passing by two small waterfalls, finally arriving at——
📍Longxi Bridge, you can start tracing the creek upstream!
The further you go, the more surprises you find. The creek water forms layered landscapes, climbing one tier after another, with small waterfalls cascading down. The green water forms small pools, shaded by trees and vines, with stone paths on the side. But the most enjoyable part is walking in the creek water, which instantly dispels the heat.
🌟Highlights:
Because the forest is dense, there are many shady spots along the creek, with sunlight filtering through the gaps, making it particularly refreshing and less likely to cause sunburn.
🧳Preparation:
Be prepared for mosquitoes, apply mosquito repellent patches, I find them useful.

The most beautiful sunset trail in Shenzhen is at Yangtai Mountain
People occasionally get unexpected surprises!
Take a taxi from Shangwu Metro Station Exit C1 to Yangtai Mountain Forest Park (Shiyan Entrance).
Upon arriving at Shiyan Square, take the steps on the right side of the archway, pass a section of dirt road (p18) to quickly climb the mountain. Without resting, it takes about an hour to reach the top of Yangtai Mountain (I forgot the exact path, but people around said it's the fastest).
We started climbing at 3 PM, taking breaks along the way, stopping at pavilions to enjoy the breeze and take photos. It was really hot and sunny! It took us 2 hours to reach the top at a leisurely pace.
We reached the top of Yangtai Mountain at 5 PM, and the sky was still blue. We sat in the rest pavilion until 6 PM, then went to watch the sunset. We also took some amazing photos on the cliff, thanks to a passerby who helped us!
Before the sun completely set, we started descending at 6:30 PM from the steep slope on the west side (p5). The scenery along the way was beautiful!
Watching the sky turn orange, red, and pink, and the leaves on the road glistening in golden light, it felt incredibly beautiful.
However, the latter part of this path is really torturous with uneven stone slabs (p14) that are hard on the feet! The gaps are wide, so be careful not to twist your ankle! But it was too late, and this was the only way down to Fengmen'ao. Next time, I'll avoid this path!
The total tour duration was 4.5 hours, with 2 hours of actual hiking.
I'm not very good at hiking but I love it. This time, I broke in my new shoes.
They are Salomon waterproof high-top hiking boots in beige and ebony color, QUEST.

Yangtai Mountain Forest Park (Dalang Entrance)
Subway🚇: Walk straight for about 400-500 meters from Yangtai Mountain East A exit, and you will find the entrance on your left hand side.
🚲Travel preparation: Sun protection clothing, mosquito repellent, water (you can buy it when you exit the subway station, or there is a self-service counter on the right side when you enter the park and start to climb the mountain, which is very convenient.
Route🚲: There are several mountain entrances, you can roughly refer to the two maps of the route behind me.
🚏Mountain climbing route 1️⃣ is safer, the road is relatively flat, it just involves climbing more stairs, but this route is more crowded.
🚏Mountain climbing route 2️⃣ is all greenway, there are more green plants, there is a small slope in the middle that is under repair, you need to pay attention to safety, do not look down, and be aware of the surroundings. This route leads to Longxi Bridge and Longxi Pavilion. (You can also take route 1️⃣, turn right at the mountain entrance, the left side is a large reservoir)
Caution⚠️ This is the Dalang entrance, it's very far to the Big Yangtai, it's not recommended to go there from here, this way is to the Small Yangtai.
🌵Longxi Bridge: On the right hand side is a small stream, you can stop for a rest halfway, it's especially cool, girls who don't like climbing but like taking photos, the stream here should still be a good spot, but there are many stones here, pay attention to wear anti-slip shoes, it is also the route to the top of Small Yangtai Mountain (❌If girls take this route, it's better to have company, because it's a water route, a shortcut, girls be cautious, I went by myself last time, and halfway I met a young lady to accompany me, but when we went up, two other uncles told us that there was a man who was a bit abnormal, possibly with bad intentions, and told us not to go up, so if girls take this route, just stay below to enjoy the cool or take a few photos, don't walk this route alone, it's always good to be cautious, safety first)

Conquering Shenzhen's "Number One Peak": An Adventure on Dayangtai Mountain
Dayangtai Mountain Forest Park is located at the junction of several districts in Shenzhen and is known as the "urban oxygen bar". The park features two peaks: Dayangtai (587.1 meters) and Xiaoyangtai (460.7 meters), with hiking trails starting from Shiyang Square and Dalang Square. My destination today is the taller Dayangtai.
Shiyang Square has multiple parking spots, offering both a steep trail and a gentle path for ascending the mountain. Despite the steepness of the steps, I chose this route. Along the way, I encountered water carriers, witnessing the popularity of Shenzhen's mountain spring water.
Feeling tired, I switched to the longer but gentler path. Along the way, I passed the "Guancanghai" viewpoint and the "Fengmen'ao" archway with a vending machine, marking two-thirds of the journey completed.
Upon reaching the summit, I looked around at the scenery, which felt less grand than that of Xiaoyangtai. For the descent, I continued on the step trail. Although it put more pressure on my knees, I discovered that there were several sections and small scenic spots along the route that connected with the ascent path.

Who can resist playing with water this summer?
I found a stream trekking spot close to Bao'an Central District, inside Yangtai Mountain Park. There's a small stream at the entrance, and you can also find fishing🎣, a succulent plantation, camping sites, and a lychee orchard! The place is not crowded at all, making it perfect for off-peak travel!
🧭Navigation: Yinggu Campsite (It's recommended to take a taxi on weekends, as driving yourself can lead to traffic jams and difficulty entering)
Taking photos here is also amazing – it's a great spot for wearing outdoor jackets, sun protection clothing, and looking like a spicy girl🌶️. I managed to take photos for an hour before the heavy rain started! Choosing the best pictures gave me a headache😄. I was planning to play in the water💦 after the photoshoot, but my first stream trekking experience was met with a torrential downpour. Looks like I'm going to make a fortune😄
