The hike itself is a moderate level challenge, perfect for both beginners and experienced hikers. The well-marked paths guide you through a diverse landscape, featuring towering red cliffs, lush greenery, and breathtaking waterfalls. It's like stepping into a postcard-worthy scene that seems almost surreal.
What sets this hike apart from others is the unique rock formations that have been sculpted by nature over millions of years. The vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow create a mesmerizing display that is truly awe-inspiring. It's as if you're walking through a natural art gallery, with each turn revealing a new masterpiece.
The trail offers several viewpoints along the way, allowing you to pause and soak in the panoramic vistas. Whether you're gazing at the expansive canyon, the winding river below, or the distant peaks, every view is nothing short of breathtaking. Don't forget to bring your camera, as you'll want to capture these incredible moments to cherish forever.
One of the highlights of the hike is reaching the top of the canyon, where you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the surrounding landscape. The feeling of accomplishment as you take in the vastness of nature's beauty is truly indescribable.
Throughout the hike, you'll also encounter various flora and fauna, adding to the overall enchantment of the experience. The sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves create a soothing soundtrack that helps you reconnect with the natural world.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful hike or a thrilling adventure, this hidden gem won't disappoint. So put on your hiking boots, pack some snacks, and get ready for an unforgettable journey through nature's masterpiece. #hike #danxia #guangzhou #hiking #hikingtrails #Hiking trail adventure
Danxia on the water
Another way to view Mount Danxia without climbing - an hour boat ride on the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides with ease at a reasonable cost.
The cost of the ride is about CNY120, but can be negotiated with the locals for a better discount.

World UNESCO Geopark - Ximei Fortress, Danxia
Once you've climbed to the top of the hill of Yangyuan Stone of Mount Danxia, walk to the other direction for 10 minutes and you will reach another scenic spot - Ximei Fortress. It was built in the 17th century for the protection of the local population from warfare. Although it will take over an hour to climb from the bottom, the view is stunning to see from the top.

World UNESCO Geopark - Yangyuan Stone, Danxia
A scenic park you shouldn't miss if you are visiting southern China, Mount Danxia Geopark is in Renhua County of Shaoguan which is famous for unique terrain and amazing sceneries. If you are in good shape and like either mountain climbing or outdoor activities, you need to spend for 3 days visiting most of the best scenic spots.
Yuanyang Stone Area, one of the main attractions in Geopark for visitor to visit on the first day. However a pretty challenging path for both adult and children that requires at least an hour to walk uphill, but it will be worth for an effort once you've reach to the top.

Maozi Peak Forest Farm Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The maple leaves in Guangzhou are red again this year, come and enjoy the fastest autumn in China
Guangzhou's autumn this year is really beautiful! The Red Maple Garden is located in Mao Feng Mountain, where there is a red maple forest🍁, adding a strong color to Guangzhou's autumn. At this moment, Mao Feng Mountain is being decorated like a poem and a painting by the red maple. I am very lucky to be able to appreciate the beautiful red leaves in Guangzhou and take unforgettable photos with them.
If you want to come here to take pictures, I have a few small tips🔔:
1️⃣ Although the Red Maple Garden is not large, there will be some people coming to enjoy the scenery and take pictures even if it is not the weekend. Because the trees are not tall, it is more suitable for shooting small scenes. As long as you find a good angle and wait a little, you can capture the beautiful scenery without being disturbed.
2️⃣ If you drive🚗 to Mao Feng Mountain, you can directly park in the parking lot on the top of the mountain (next to Tian Lake), and you can reach the red maple leaves in two or three minutes on foot. If you choose to walk up the mountain, it will take about forty minutes.
3️⃣ There is also a stone tablet staircase next to the red maple leaves that is very suitable for taking pictures📷, as if you are in a forest with only red maple. After shooting the Red Maple Garden, you can continue to take pictures in the fir forest next to it.
Mao Feng Mountain is easily accessible, you can drive there, or you can take the subway to Taihe Station Exit C, and then take the 758 bus to Mao Feng Mountain Terminal. Whether you drive or take public transportation, you can easily reach this beautiful place. Come and feel the charm of Guangzhou's autumn!

Lanshanyuan Lingnan Oriental Hot Spring Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The hot spring hotel with an infinity pool in Guangdong is absolutely beautiful

Shaoguan Ruyuan Lanshanyuan Lingnan Oriental Hot Spring Hotel
Check-in time: October 2023
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highlights ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A short trip around Guangzhou, within Guangdong Province, with smooth traffic it takes about 2.5 hours to reach the destination. Real hot springs, superb air quality! Great for family trips, outings with children, and gatherings with friends~ The hotel also has small attractions, such as the Xiaohuangguoshu Waterfall, which is a nice spot for taking photos!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🎈🏨 Room and Environment:
Stayed during the National Day holiday, not too crowded, but the reception at the front desk seemed inexperienced. There weren't many people in line, but the staff handling check-ins didn't really introduce the hotel's features well. Since I had done my research in advance, it was okay! The lobby has the elegance of a five-star hotel, and there's a fountain on the way to the elevators that feels very relaxing. The room decor is that of a classic five-star hotel, and if you look closely, you can find some hygiene blind spots, but they're not a big deal. The air conditioning is also cool enough.
However, the most, most, most important and also the most, most, most upsetting thing was: there were too many mosquitoes on the first floor... it affected our sleep. The hotel could only offer us an extra electric mosquito repellent when we asked for help. We killed at least 20 mosquitoes before going to bed. I was worried about the children being disturbed by mosquitoes, and my sister is the type who swells up from mosquito bites! It was quite a hassle!
So, if you can, try to stay on a higher floor! Or ask the hotel in advance~
🎈 Breakfast 🍽️
There's a rich variety, and the food replenishment is timely. It's average! There are Chinese-style fried eggs, noodles, porridge, as well as a full range of Western salads and toast.
🌼 Facilities and Entertainment
The hot spring area is quite large, with a swimming pool, a children's water play pool, dry and wet saunas, an infrared room, and many types of hot spring pools. Towel supply is timely, and there's plenty of tea with Luo Han Guo and ginger tea! Walking up the stairs to the top of the hot spring area, there's an infinity pool, which is great for photos. If you're with kids, be aware ⚠️ that after the sun goes down, the water can get a bit cold since it's not a constant temperature pool.
The rest area has a children's ball pool, which is free, and it's a good place to let the kids burn off some energy. Outdoors, there are slides, swings, and other play facilities, and when the weather is nice, it's really fun for the kids to play there!
Walking along the wooden walkway next to the hot spring area, you can reach the Xiaohuangguoshu Waterfall, which is quite beautiful, and it's worth a visit since it's not far! The hotel faces a lake, and taking a walk along the lakeside is also nice! The air is very fresh.
We also had a late-night snack at the lakeside barbecue in the evening, and it was very cool by the lake at night!
Aside from the mosquito incident, overall, it's still nice. The adults enjoyed the hot springs, and the kids had their fun! Suitable for a family to come for a leisurely vacation and relaxation!

🧭Navigation: Yunji Mountain Nature Reserve, Xinfeng County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province
🎫Ticket: 30 yuan
🚘Transportation: Self-driving
🅿️Parking fee: 10 yuan
The environment is quiet and secluded, with small bridges and flowing water, people sigh at the ancient charm
A view at every step
The characteristic of Yunji Mountain is the ancient town and climbing steps, there are traces of commercialization in the ancient town, which is normal, it is also a collision of ancient and modern, which is convenient for us tourists, not many people, suitable for a person to walk slowly, the stream inside is quite clean.
For climbing, it is not recommended for those with children, after all, the amount of exercise is large, the round trip of climbing is about four hours, the road is not difficult to walk, can be regarded as fitness
Hiking in Yunji Mountain in winter
Xinfeng·Shaoguan Xinfeng County Yunji Mountain Scenic Area
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun rose in the direction of the town, and we could see the further mountains and the ups and downs of the clouds and fog.
The five yuan rice noodle roll must have flour, meat, green onion, egg, and free soy sauce, chili, and peanut oil.
After buying the tickets, we naturally enjoyed the scenery of the scenic area. At first, everything was normal. The sun shone on the bright red maple, stepping on the stone road into the jungle, bamboo shadows, flowing springs, cliffs and waterfalls. The winter water flow is not large but the water flow continues along the way, dense branches and leaves, dark cliffs, sparkling pools, this is the source of Xinfeng River.
Then a little thought of whiskey changed the whole journey, stepping into the slope covered with thick fallen leaves, vines hanging on tall trees, the light and shadow of ferns projected on the stone wall. A sign reads: Primitive forest, high and dangerous mountains, be careful! Undoubtedly suggesting that we can go this way.
Climbing all the way, we entered the core area from the control area, the leisurely tour turned into a hiking line, the roots of the trees were exposed on the mountain stone road, mountain wood bamboo forest boulders wild vines, steep descent and rapid ascent, the huge stone on the top of the mountain that shone in the sun was hiding and revealing our hope.
The noon sun shone brightly on the giant stone platform, the whole mountain field was an ocean of forest, above the ocean was a large white cloud layer, under the cloud layer was the rolling mountains.
Twenty minutes later, I climbed to the highest peak of Yunji Mountain, the giant stone was under my feet, the distant river was curved like a line, the mountain wind blew, under the scorching sun was a standing person and a lying shadow.
🏞Location: Yunji Mountain Nature Reserve, 853 County Road, Xinfeng County, Shaoguan
🚙Transportation: It is advisable to drive by yourself, it is easy to park at the foot of the mountain. Or Xinfeng No. 1 line can get close
🎫Tickets: Official 30 yuan, slightly lower on the platform
🏔Tour: There are several parking points after entering the gate. If you are not climbing on holidays, you can drive to the foot of the mountain to park.
👣The conventional route walks around the mountain road, starting from the flying waterfall, even in the dry season, there are continuous waterfalls along the way, the three-tier waterfall is the source of Xinfeng River, you can imagine the grand surge during the flood season. Next to Siyuan Pavilion, there is a stele recording the source of Xinfeng River. Climbing all the way, you can see the maple forest landscape. Yunji Mountain has a large area of triangular maple. Although it has passed the prosperous stage, with the altitude difference, the tall maple trees present red, yellow and green colors. The surrounding mountains are peculiar, let your imagination run wild, what is the moon watching by the sky dog, what is the pilgrimage of the golden turtle, what is the heart holding by the west child
👣The second way is a bit masochistic, there is a hiking trail that can go directly to the top, there are outdoor signs along the way, from the control area to the core area, all the way mountain stone small road, suddenly steep slope, not recommended for outdoor equipment. The view from the top of the mountain is beautiful. Climbing the high peak and looking at the small mountains.
🧸Recommendation: Hiking must be done in pairs, download or record the track, do not cross the line to return to the original road after reaching the top, do a good job of outdoor protection, it is not difficult to reach the top, but it is a bit difficult to withdraw.
🛕At the foot of the mountain, there is a newly built Huizhou-style ancient town along the mountain. The gray bricks and flying eaves are exquisitely carved, the bamboo is lush and the maple leaves are red, which fits well with nature. It can be a view.
🍻There is a Meikeng hot spring more than ten kilometers away, and a soak after hard work can relieve a thousand tiredness. There are many farmhouse restaurants around, and the local chicken head wine is enjoyable.
The source of the Xinfeng River, Shaoguan Yunji Mountain, the highest peak in the Pearl River Delta
Shaoguan Yunji Mountain is the source of the Xinfeng River. The old street at the foot of the mountain is full of charm. At the entrance, a row of spectacular ancient wood fossils are displayed, indicating the traces of ancient times.
On a sunny morning, we embarked on a winding mountain trail. After an hour and a half of climbing, we finally reached the magnificent waterfall with the inscription 'Source of Xinfeng River'. In the afternoon, we decided to challenge ourselves. We followed the red ribbons marked by fellow hikers and started to head towards the steeper mountain road. We walked through the wonders of a narrow path between huge rocks, even using branches and roots to explore the undeveloped wild path.
Considering the children's physical strength, my wife decided to lead the children back to the waterfall rest area. I continued to climb the peak bravely. After another two and a half hours of hard trekking, I successfully reached the top. At this moment, the cold wind on the top of the mountain was howling, the clouds were lingering, it was like a fairyland. Fortunately, I met another hiker who also conquered the top of the mountain. We helped each other to take precious photos of the summit.
A fleeting glance at Yunji Ancient Town
Yunji Ancient Town and Yunji Mountain are in the same scenic area. This visit is for the red maple leaves, so we first went straight into the scenic area to find the maple trees on the mountain, and then went down the mountain to the ancient town. The buildings in the town are not from the original place, but were moved here from other places, including houses from Fujian and Guangdong, reflecting the architectural characteristics of different regions. The town and the surrounding environment are very harmonious. Here you can see the top of Yunji Mountain in the distance and the stream nearby, breathing the fresh natural air, and your body and mind will also be relaxed and happy.
The entrance fee for the scenic area is 30 yuan, half price for people over 60 years old, and the parking fee is 10 yuan.
