Maluan Mountain

Ma Luan Mountain is truly a hidden gem of a rural park, offering not only multiple hiking trails but also water play, camping, stream trekking, and now, in this season, you can see bald cypress and swathes of white plum blossoms! I hear Shenzhen is about to cool down, so take advantage of the good weather and go out for a look! - ‼️Tips: The northern entrance is a bit further, but the difficulty level is lower, while the southern entrance is shorter but has a higher difficulty level! - To the left of the northwest gate of Ma Luan Mountain Country Park, you can trek up the stream and play in the water, which is suitable for families with children to travel, have a picnic, and camp by the stream! The photogenic bald cypress forest is also here, so you can choose this as your first stop at the north gate! - Continue walking for about 10 minutes from the north gate, follow the trail upwards and you will reach the Bi Ling Waterfall Group, with 5 waterfalls to admire. The last waterfall is the most spectacular and the best for group photos, with a distance of about 3km, and it takes about 1h one way. - ✅👉Route Guide: Route : Start from the northwest gate of Ma Luan Mountain Country Park ➡ Bi Ling Waterfall Group ➡ Tang Keng Handmade Trail ➡ Luo's Mansion ➡ Ma Luan Mountain Waterfall ➡ Ma Luan Mountain North Gate Route : Huang Zhu Keng Entrance: 2h mountain road to reach Luo's Mansion Route : Da Mei Sha (Huada Gene Entrance): 2h mountain road + tractor road to reach Mei Ting/Xiao Mei Sha (Die Cui Lake Entrance): 0.5h greenway + 1h second line Guan Country Trail to reach Mei Ting - 📍Address: Northwest gate of Ma Luan Mountain Country Park 🚃Transport: Self-drive or public transport (Exit D of Jinlong Station on Line 14, take a taxi directly to the northwest gate of Ma Luan Mountain Country Park, estimated 10-15 minutes) - Ma Luan Mountain is very large, if it's your first time going, it's recommended to take a more established route, unless you have a professional guide, do not take shortcuts! Also, the current waterfall flow is relatively small, it is recommended to go see the bald cypress and plum blossoms first!

This guesthouse is located at the southeast foot of Maluan Mountain, amidst clusters of mountains and forests, resembling a fairy-tale forest castle! We arrived in the early morning, when the fog had not yet dispersed, and the villa was surrounded by green forests and mist, so fairy-like! I instantly felt that this trip with my family was totally worth it! There is a small stream running behind the guesthouse. After we put down our luggage, the whole family gathered at the window to take pictures of the scenery! My naughty son loved the steps at the door, and he played up and down them several times. The steps are paved with marble, right? They feel very textured. This place is both fairy-like and beautiful, and the decorative materials feel expensive. The landlord must be a wealthy person! I especially love the courtyard here, which is very spacious. The Japanese style looks simple and comfortable; there is a video room on the second floor, where friends staying here will watch movies together at night, creating a great atmosphere; there is a tea room on the third floor, where my chatty parents could sit for a long time; the star-gazing terrace on the fourth floor is fantastic, overlooking the panoramic view of Dapeng Bay. At that time, my husband and I were deeply immersed in the mountain forest and tea sea, and the feeling of being close to nature was so wonderful! This place has the highest altitude of 600 meters, the largest waterfall in Shenzhen, and the most beautiful reed field. I saw many young ladies coming out to Cosplay, some with deer antlers and some in fairy dresses. It's a pity that I didn't bring my camera from home, but the photos taken with my Huawei are also great! Friendly reminder: Girls must bring beautiful clothes when going out!!! ⊙Shenzhen-Dapeng New District-Tuyang Village Dongli Guanhai Mountain Villa Guanhai Residence No.13

Shenzhen's weather is very hot, but I decided to go out for a walk. I took the north gate to go up the mountain, and today I didn't go to Meiting but walked towards the Honghua Ridge Reservoir for a while before turning back. After being washed by the rain for some time, the sky today is pure, and the clouds are so beautiful, with various shapes filling the sky. The shaded spots on the path are quite cool, and the breeze blowing through is much more comfortable than staying at home with the air conditioning.
