Qingyuan is a famous mountainous area in Guangdong. Every weekend, many hiking enthusiasts come here to challenge the many mountain peaks. Molugong is one of them, with the most beautiful mountain ridge. A thousand words are not worth the experience of going there yourself. The pain of climbing 500m uphill is unbearable, and you really want to give up. But then you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Standing on the 900m mountain ridge and overlooking the entire valley, the previous pain is really not worth mentioning!

⛰️ When it comes to karst topography, most people think of Guangxi and Guizhou, but Guangdong is also a region where karst landforms are distributed. In the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, various caves and peak clusters abound. 🏔️ This time, I chose to hike Mount Moliugong. The trail is clear and not too difficult. With a maximum elevation of 1,030 meters, Mount Moliugong is located at the junction of Yangshan and Yingde in Qingyuan, surrounded by beautiful karst peak clusters. Part of the Qi Mountain range, Moliugong boasts a grassy ridge stretching for over ten kilometers. Its status among hikers in Guangdong is comparable to that of Mount Wugong among hikers nationwide. Walking along the ridge, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding layers of karst peaks, earning it the reputation of Guangdong's most beautiful ridge. As a hiking enthusiast, how can you claim to have never been to Moliugong?

Embarking on a hiking journey to Mo Liugong Peak is a magnificent adventure that challenges oneself and embraces nature. The mountain path winds through lush greenery, and as the altitude gradually increases, the scenery becomes more and more spectacular. Along the way, you can admire the undulating mountains, resembling exquisite ink paintings, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. Upon reaching the summit, the view opens up, with a sea of clouds rolling beneath, as if you are in a fairyland. Standing at the top, overlooking the world below, you are left with a sense of peace and fulfillment, finding yourself in the journey, and gaining a rare persistence and courage.

Located at the border of Yangshan in Qingyuan and Yingde in Guangdong, there is a hiking paradise comparable to Wugong Mountain and Chuan Diding, where trekking is much easier, with no need for heavy loads, and can be completed in just one day. This hiking paradise is called Moligong Mountain. Walking along the long ridge of Moligong Mountain, one can see the endless big grass slopes and thousands of beautiful karst peaks, all entering everyone's field of vision at the same time. Moligong Mountain, with an altitude of 1005 meters, is part of the extension of Qishan, facing the main peak of Qishan, Wenpo Mountain, which is 1210 meters high, with a majestic and towering mountain range that continues endlessly. This is one of the top mountain ridge hiking routes in Guangdong, with open views, beautiful scenery, and green grassy slopes stretching into the distance, reminiscent of the charm of the high mountain meadows of Wugong Mountain and Chuan Diding. Different from Wugong Mountain, Moligong is surrounded by beautiful karst peaks. Overlooking from the top of the mountain, the endless conical peaks are like the surging waves of the sea. Stepping forward along the high and low ridges, although somewhat tired, there is more surprise. Because the path is surrounded by countless beautiful sceneries. There is a small platform at the peak of Liugong, which is an excellent viewing platform. From here, one can easily embrace the magnificent mountain scenery of Qingyuan. To the south, the mountains are majestic and continuous, with the main peak of Qishan, Wenpo Mountain, in the distance. To the west, the beautiful karst peaks rise abruptly, forming a situation where many stars hold the moon.

This was a unique and inevitable hiking experience. I joined a hiking group from Shenzhen, and we were supposed to reach our destination and start hiking around one in the afternoon, but due to various reasons, we didn't get there until almost four o'clock, and that's when we started running like mad! Mo Liu Gong Mountain is located in Hepin Village, Yangshan County, Guangdong Province. Walking on the ridge sharp as a knife's edge, with thousands of karst peaks on both sides, and vast meadows below, lifting your head to gaze at the vast Wanshan Mountain range, its beauty is striking! Location: Mo Liu Gong Summit Hiking duration: 3-5 hours Points to note: 1. Most of the journey is along the mountain ridge, with no shade throughout, so it's very sunny in the summer, be sure to protect yourself from the sun; 2. There are several supply points along the way, offering not only mineral water but also tofu pudding and other snacks, as well as restrooms; 3. It's best to prepare two trekking poles, as the ascent and descent can be steep, and trekking poles can make it much easier. Shoes are also important, choose comfortable and non-slip hiking shoes; 4. Leave no trace in the wild, protect the environment, and take your trash with you!
