It must have been over a decade since I last climbed Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain. What was it like to spend a night on Baiyun Mountain the night before last? The Baiyun Mountain Villa is located in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, which is known as the 'Lung of Guangzhou City', surrounded by the natural scenery of blue sky, white clouds, clear water, and green forests. It has a long history and a profound cultural heritage, designed by the renowned Chinese Academy of Engineering academician and master architect Mo Bozhi. The building is constructed according to the mountain terrain and is famous for its unique garden design. When guests enter the hotel rooms, they slowly ascend from the first to the fifth floor without feeling tired, which is a clever design by the architect! The room layout is reasonable, comfortable, warm, and elegant, making guests feel at home! The next day, I successfully climbed to the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, Moxing Ridge, at an altitude of 328 meters, overlooking the bustling areas of Guangzhou, with a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery!

During the Spring Festival period of 2024, my journey to the south was filled with good fortune, with a festive atmosphere everywhere I went. Although I have been to Guangzhou many times, this was my first visit to Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Fortunately, there was a flower exhibition on Baiyun Mountain, which truly showed the deep love the people of Guangzhou have for flowers. As for orchids, it was also the first time I saw so many varieties, pleasing to both the eye and the mind! Although the weather was not ideal, after reaching the top of Baiyun Mountain, I couldn't get a clear view of the entire city of Guangzhou, but there was a kind of hazy beauty. I could still vaguely see parts of Guangzhou, and I look forward to another opportunity to visit Baiyun Mountain! Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area is located in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, and is one of the famous mountains in southern China, historically known as 'the most beautiful scenery in the City of Rams'. Baiyun Mountain has always been a famous scenic spot in Guangzhou. Places like 'Pujian Lianquan' and 'Evening View of Baiyun' were among the ancient 'Eight Sights of Yangcheng' and it is the first national AAAAA-level tourist attraction in the Guangzhou scenic area industry. It is also the only scenic area in Guangzhou that has both the honors of National Civilized Scenic Tourist Area and National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction. Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area has seven tourist areas from south to north, namely: Luhu Scenic Area, Santailing Scenic Area, Mingshun Valley Scenic Area, Moxing Ridge Scenic Area, Mingzhu Tower Scenic Area, Fei'e Ridge Scenic Area, and Heyi Ridge Scenic Area. There are three 'largest in the nation' attractions within the area: the largest garden-style garden in China—Yuntai Garden; the largest natural-style birdcage—Mingshun Valley; and the largest theme-style sculpture specialty park—Sculpture Park. The 'Ancient Notes of Yangcheng' says: 'Whenever the autumn sky is clear, white clouds lushly rise, covering half the mountain in white, hence the name Baiyun (White Clouds)', which is the origin of the name Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain is not only picturesque but also has a rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Neolithic prehistoric cultural site at Huangpo Cave in the north of the mountain. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the hermit Zheng Anqi lived on Baiyun Mountain, gathering herbs to help the world, and 'ascended to immortality' from Baiyun Mountain. During the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong practiced alchemy on Baiyun Mountain and wrote the famous Taoist work 'Baopuzi'. During the Southern Liang Dynasty, Chan Master Jing Tai came here to build a temple, which was the earliest temple on Baiyun Mountain, leaving behind the sight 'Jing Tai Monk Returns', one of the old Eight Sights of Yangcheng. After the Tang and Song dynasties, literati such as Du Shenyan, Li Qunyu, Su Shi, and Han Yu climbed the mountain to compose poetry. Their literary works, imbued with emotions and nature, became a precious historical and spiritual wealth of Lingnan.

Whoever says Guangzhou is only suitable for clocking in at work and not for tourism, I'll give them a talking to. In other cities, it's the season for snow and warming fires, But here in our great Guangzhou, the flowers are already in full bloom!

Enter from the West Gate of Baiyun Mountain and walk to Mingzhu Lake, with a sea of flowers all along the way. 💛There are really a lot of exhibits this time, each integrating the characteristics of their respective areas, with creativity and visual effects💯. Here are a few of my favorites: ✅Panyu District 'Floating Light Islands': Combining elements of Shawan Piaose and Dripping Water Rock Forest Park to create a floating island. ✅Nanzhu District 'Sea・Cloud Valley': The scattered stairs with flowers, flowing water, and mist are especially beautiful. ✅Liwan District 'Childhood Time': Themed around Guangdong nursery rhymes, with familiar background music like 'Heavy Rain, Streets Flooded' and 'Whose Rooster Crows, Whose Guess'...
