Zhongshan Hiking | This niche route is really amazing
I drove from Foshan to Zhongshan for an hour on the weekend and found a beautiful niche route. There are not many people along the way, the scenery is pleasant, and the recent weather in Guangdong is very cool and suitable for climbing!
Along the way, you will see Changkeng Waterfall, Xiaolan Reservoir, bamboo forest streams... I also met people who brought dogs to climb the mountain. The dogs were so happy playing in the stream~ The waterfall is not large now, and you can directly climb up to the top in the waterfall! If you come after a heavy rain or in summer, you will see a spectacular waterfall pouring down!
1️⃣Transportation location
📍Navigate to "Xianzong Longyuan"
Note‼️No need to enter the park, go in from the left side of the park gate, you will see the big words "He Ping Village", next to it is a whole bamboo forest, this is the starting point for hiking, you can start using the two-step route navigation to follow as soon as you enter the bamboo forest, the uphill starts almost from the starting point~
2️⃣Route strategy
☑️The whole journey is about 8㎞, and it takes 3 hours
☑️Open "Two Steps", 🔍Changkeng Reservoir, there are many clear hiking routes, you can click to open the route navigation and follow the mark
☑️It takes about 2 hours to climb from the starting point to Changkeng Waterfall. The first two hours are basically continuous uphill, which will be more tiring. After the waterfall, it is all flat. Follow the reservoir all the way to the end (the end point is the starting point)
☑️There is a place to sell water at the starting point, and there are wild roads along the way without supplies, so remember to bring enough drinking water
☑️There will be a long downhill road when approaching the waterfall, which is very steep, and the dirt road and gravel are easy to slip, it is recommended to wear non-slip hiking shoes and bring hiking poles
☑️The entrance to the mountain is not always open on holidays, and if it is not allowed to enter, you can change to other entrances to the mountain, Nankengwei (Zhongye Camp), He Ping Village (Xianzong Longyuan), we started climbing from He Ping Village
☑️Some mountain roads are quite dangerous, not all are regular roads, there are mud and many gravel mountains, pay attention to wear non-slip shoes
☑️There will be a long way without signal in the mountain, it is recommended to load the hiking map in advance
☑️Pay attention to mosquito and tree branch scratches, it is recommended to wear long sleeves and trousers, I wore shorts and got a few scratches
☑️Walk well!! Because many roads are on the edge of the cliff and very steep
