Yunmen Mountain Natural Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
World’s Highest Waterfall Elevator View!
Very nice scenic spot at Shaoguan, a few hours drive from Shenzhen.
Located at the Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area, this waterfall is 8 meters wide with a vertical drop of 168 meters, equivalent to the height of 50 floors!
We took the cable car 🚡 on the way up and hiked around a bit, checked the waterfall and other scenic view and took the elevator 🛗 on the way down.
Good for family outing!

Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain 1-Day Tour | Anti-tourist trap guide acquired
May Day is coming, and you still don't know where to go for fun? The off-the-beaten-path fairyland spot of Yunmen Mountain in Shaoguan, Guangdong is definitely worth the rush! Just got back from Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain, and I immediately put together this 1-day anti-tourist trap guide. It's fun and not tiring, perfect for taking family or significant others.
❣️ : Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain Tourist Resort
📍 : 893 Township Road, Rucheng Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province
🕙 : 8:00-17:30 (Entry stops at 16:00)
🚗 : Self-drive/Take a taxi
🗺️ Sightseeing route: Scenic area main gate—Xiangyun Stairs—Xiangyun Tower—Sky Realm (Xiuding Peak)—Cloud-top Waterfall—Glass Bridge—Scenic Elevator (down)—Yunshan Valley—Scenic Elevator (up)—Cable car🚡 down the mountain
Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area has the Xiuding Peak, known as one of the 'Eight Scenic Spots of Ruyuan'—Xiuding's Strange Clouds; it has a stunning waterfall described as 'a straight drop of three thousand feet'; there's an exciting glass walkway, and various thrilling high-altitude amusement projects.
We took a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station directly to Shaoguan Station, which took less than an hour, then booked a ride-share directly to Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area. After entering the scenic area, we had a casual lunch and then took the cable car up the mountain.
We bought a 180-yuan package ticket, which included admission + round-trip cableway + glass bridge + round-trip elevator + ocean park and animal park. It's really cost-effective, no need to climb mountains as the cableway takes you up and down, and there are few people in the scenic area, making it great for taking photos.
⚠️ Travel tip:
The scenic area has paid lockers, if you have a lot of luggage you can scan the code for self-service storage.
There is a commercial area in the scenic area with dining and accommodation. The houses on both sides of the commercial street are covered with green plants, and walking through it feels a bit like entering the magical world of Oz, great for taking photos.
There are shuttle buses in the scenic area, 5 yuan/person, which take you to the cableway. If you don't want to walk, you can take it, no need to wait, just go. However, the distance is not far, and it's reachable on foot, so there's no need to take it...
The cable car fits two people per ride, very stable and not shaky. You can see another angle of Yunmen Mountain's beauty from the cable car. Just buy the package ticket and you don't need to buy a cable car ticket on-site, just check the ticket and take the cable car.
There are high-altitude swings, high-altitude pedal bikes, mountain trail go-karts, and other amusement projects in the scenic area, but they require additional payment. The swing costs 30 yuan/person, and the mountain trail go-kart costs 50 yuan/person, you can play by paying on-site.
The scenic area is quite lush with trees, so there are also quite a few mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring a bottle of mosquito repellent, especially for families with children.
There are free photo-taking projects in the scenic area, but the photography skills are average, and the free paper photos are quite blurry. If there are many people, there's no need to queue, but if there are few, you might as well take a photo for a souvenir.
The seal show at the Ocean Park is not bad, and if you have kids, you can go to the Ocean Park to see the mermaid show and seal show.

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 May)
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!

We like to see the lake and mountain views, so we chose the Mountain Island Lake View Villa🏠 We booked a twin room, the first floor has a private swimming pool, and each room has a private soaking pool, realizing that you can soak wherever you live!

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!

It's not in Guizhou, but in Guangdong!
Tucked away in the mountains, the secluded ancient town is well aware that the May Day holiday will definitely be crowded with people, so this time I chose a relatively less popular destination - Shaoguan Yunji Mountain!
After arriving, I discovered that not only could I climb the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain there was also a water town ancient village designed with Huizhou architecture and stilted buildings. There was no one living inside, nor any commercial atmosphere. Strolling through the ancient town and beside the small stream, I actually felt a sense of déjà vu as if I were in the south of the Yangtze River. It was really comfortable and healing...
Address: Shaoguan Xinfeng Yunji Mountain Provincial Nature Reserve, Guangdong Ticket: 24 RMB/person (15 RMB for the elderly/children)
Transportation: The transportation here is not very convenient, so it is recommended to drive yourself. There are several parking lots in the scenic area, charging 10 RMB/vehicle.
The ancient town is located a few hundred meters to the left of the entrance to the scenic area (near Parking Lot No. 1). It's not very big, and you can finish walking and taking photos in about 1-2 hours. In addition to the ancient town, you can also hike up the mountain. The main peak is over 1400 meters high, and the round trip takes about 5-6 hours.
