Guangzhou--Baishuizhai
Nana loves traveling + those who like hiking can take a look
Walking and walking, suddenly there's a vertical waterfall in front of you, that kind of freedom where you can't wait to rush over
The more you walk, the more surprised you are! Why didn't I recommend to everyone earlier the rock cliffs, stream tracing waterfalls, it's really really really healing,
Highly recommend coming here to relax on the weekend, breathe in the full negative ions
Travel tips:
It's suggested to set off in the morning, reserve 4 hours for a visit! It's very comfortable, there are many stream tracing spots at the foot of the mountain! Dipping your little feet in the water is very cool!
There are no sightseeing cars here, remember to wear comfortable sports shoes! There's basically shade from trees all the way, not sunny at all, but there are mosquitoes haha, you can bring some mosquito repellent,
There are a total of 9999 steps, it's said, walking and stopping to take photos, it's actually not tiring at all! The steps are all wooden plank paths, which don't tire your legs!
All the way there are rock cliffs, stream waterfalls, matched with the emerald water, it really has a bit of the West Sichuan vibe!

I took a trip to Guangzhou and accidentally stumbled into the beauty of Western Sichuan
The hanging bridges between the cliffs, the ceaseless stream beneath my feet
The waterfall that descends from the heavens, its magnificent appearance is somewhat reminiscent of scenes from a fantasy drama. It's really super beautiful, incredibly healing
Whether it's a sunny or rainy day, each has its own charm

✅Travelogue
With an altitude of 1088 meters, climbing to the top involves 4099 steps, estimated to take 2-3 hours (there's only a reservoir at the summit, so reaching the top is optional). The half-way descent of 2199 steps showcases the most beautiful scenery. The azure stream along the way, coupled with the lush greenery of the mountains, really gives a sense of Western Sichuan.
-
✅Travel tips
🌟On rainy days, be sure to wear long sleeves, as the waterfall generates a strong breeze and can easily wet your clothes.
🌟There are many farm stays nearby, famous for their bamboo tube rice and roast duck, worth a try. In summer, you can also try the special Sanhua plum and lychee.
🌟There are many streams near the mountain entrance where you can play, remember to wear creek shoes
the night before.
🌟Nearby there are budget-friendly hot spring resorts, worth staying at if you have the time

Baishuizhai Scenic Spot
🌟Highlight Features:
Unique mountain trail in Guangdong area, with mountains and water:
1. During the mountain climbing journey, what accompanies you is the rumbling sound of waterfall, which is relatively rare among many mountain climbing;
2. 9999 steps are also a big challenge, for those who exercise less usually, 4099 steps are already the limit, the steps of the milestone along the way are the intense numbers that constantly urge to move forward;
3. During the day, looking at Baishuizhai from a distance, two jade belt-style hanging on the mountain top is also one of the distant beautiful views;
📝Note tips:
1. The mountain road is relatively slippery, pay attention to use standard mountain climbing shoes or hiking shoes;
2. After climbing up and down in one day, it is inevitable to have weak legs. It is also a good choice to choose a hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain to rest and recuperate for one night.

⛰️Guangzhou's longest hiking trail - The First Ladder of the South (9999 steps) with an altitude of 1088 meters, the waterfall with the largest drop in mainland China - Baishuixian Waterfall with a drop of 428.5 meters
Route suggestion🚥
1️⃣699 steps (Double Dragon Confluence Small Waterfall), 1499 steps is the best point for viewing, taking photos and checking in at the waterfall
2⃣️For friends with average physical strength, you can go downhill after hiking to 1499 steps (Waterfall Roaring Platform) or 2199 steps (Close to Waterfall)
3⃣️Friends with good physical strength can directly challenge the 4099 steps waterfall source (Fairy Maiden Heavenly Pool), there are lawns around, it is estimated to climb up in 2-3 hours, you need to control the time to go downhill, generally the security will remind tourists to go downhill around 17 o'clock
Some thoughts💬
The mountain route is very simple~ Follow the stream all the way up, just follow the fences and ladders, there are also signs on the side of the road🪧
☝️It is recommended to go when the weather is good, it is really slippery to walk on wooden bridges and wooden stairs in rainy days (I have fallen), due to time reasons, we only climbed to 4099 steps, if you want to climb up at around 16 o'clock in the afternoon, the security will drive people away and not let them continue to climb up, if you want to reach the top⛰️9999 steps, you must set off early!!
You can also play in the water at the foot of the mountain, the water is super clear and icy, it is very refreshing to soak your feet when they are sore from climbing, super comfortable~
In addition, if you think it is necessary, you can also prepare an extra set of clothes, the clothes are easy to get wet when climbing and playing in the water, you can change them when you go back to avoid catching a cold🫂

Mountains, Trees, and endless Waterfalls
This was one of the most beautiful hikes I've been on. You can either choose to hike up or take a sightseeing bus.
The Hiking trail was 9,999 steps. An upwards climb with many beautiful waterfalls along the way. It's about a 2hr hike up then you can take a short cut down which is an hour.
Once you reach the top there's a nice picnic spot to relax with a view of a lake in front of you. Absolutely stunning!
BaiShuiZhai is located in Paitan town in Zeng Cheng district.
If your coming from Tian He in Guangzhou it's about a 2 hr drive. Absolutely worth it. I advise starting early in the morning!

Baishuizhai is located in Paitan Town, Zengcheng City. The scenic area is high in mountains and dense forests. The air is fresh and the clouds are in the middle of the cloud. The Sichuan-shaped white waterfall is incomparably eye-catching. It is not accurate to say that it is a waterfall. The guide said that the waterfall is artificial. I made it impossible for me to climb up to see its interest. From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are 9,999 steps. It is called the Tiannan First Ladder. From the starting point to the level of 1299 (viewing the waterfall platform, the lower end of the waterfall), the scenery is indistinguishably set up on the side of the stream. Along the path of the path, the stream hits the water rising from the stone and the air is fresh.
Mountaining boardwalk is very characteristic. It is paved with the old ship's boat. You can smell the thick tung oil on the top. It is very emotional. Climbing 4099 steps to the top of the fairy island of Tiangu, is a very beautiful lake, the color is blue-green, the water is very clear.

The more I walk, the more amazed I am! Why didn't I recommend the rocky cliffs and trekking waterfalls to everyone sooner, it's really so so so healing I swear, I've really been here 6789 times!

Really in Qingyuan! Not in Semporna!!!!
Who would understand! I thought I was coming here to see the Cliff Waterfall, but I was captivated by the scenery along the way, with primeval forests, cliff waterfalls, canyon pools, shallow wetlands, and more, truly like a secluded valley hidden in the deep mountains.
It only takes 1.5 hours from Dongguan, and here you have Guangdong's longest hiking trail and the waterfall with the largest drop in mainland China (Bai Shuixian Waterfall), but the scenic area is not crowded. You can take photos and play around freely, and all the way there are streams and waterfalls, which are incredibly cool. It's perfect for a weekend hike to relax and breathe in the oxygen.
About hiking:
① The highest peak here is 1088 meters above sea level, with a total of 9999 steps, among which 699 steps (Shuanglonghui) and 1499 steps (Puming Platform) are the best spots to view the waterfalls.
② For those with average physical strength, you can hike to 1499 steps (Puming Platform) or 2199 steps (Qinpu Platform) and then descend the mountain, which is expected to take about 1.5 hours.
③ Those with good physical strength can directly challenge the highest point at 4099 steps (Xianggu Heavenly Pool), which is expected to take 2-3 hours, but be sure to reserve time for descending the mountain. Security generally advises visitors to start descending around 5 pm.

If you come to Guangzhou, you must visit Baisuizhai once
I don't understand why such a beautiful scenic spot in Guangzhou is not well-known. I went there twice this month and there were few people, but the scenery is really beautiful! It must be the most beautiful summer retreat I've been to in Guangzhou.🗺
🏞The hanging bridges between the cliffs, the streams flowing underfoot, and the waterfalls descending from the mountain top. The spectacular view is like a scene from a fantasy drama. And the blue lake water, really is no less than Guizhou! I don't allow anyone in Guangzhou to not know about this place, everyone must go~
⏰️About the visit
The mountain is 1088 meters above sea level, and it is expected to take 2-3 hours to reach the summit. If you don't climb to the top, you can walk to the 2199 steps to the most spectacular waterfall (Qinbao Platform) which is expected to take about 1 hour.
🧭◆Friends with good physical strength can climb to the top of 4099 steps (Xiangun Tianchi). Reaching the top also gives you a chance to see the sea of clouds~(The last photo is at 3699 steps)
⛰️Many places are not reached by the sun, and the water flow after the rain and the wind driven by the waterfall are very strong, and there will be a lot of small rainwater drifting over, so it is recommended to wear an extra piece of clothing. So I wore an extra windproof and waterproof jacket. It is very suitable for unpredictable weather, and even if it rains, you won't be afraid of catching a cold.
📍Address: Baisuizhai Scenic Area, Zengcheng, Guangzhou

🕙 Opening Hours: 8:30-17:30 (Entry stops at 16:30)
💰 Ticket Price: 60💰/person, half price for students 30💰/person
🌟 Highlights: The highest peak here is 1088 meters above sea level, with a total of 9999 steps along the way. Among them, 699 steps (Shuanglong Hui) and 1499 steps (Baoming Platform) are the best spots to view the waterfall. If you're just here for the waterfall, this is the place to be; the road from the entrance to the ticket checkpoint is also very scenic, with purple bauhinia flowers blooming along the road in March, and there's also a grassy area with the large characters 'Bai Shui Zhai', which is great for photos! If you're hiking, remember to gauge your strength. Those with good stamina can challenge the highest point with 4099 steps (Xian Gu Tian Chi), which takes over 3 hours. Remember to allow time for descending the mountain. Security usually reminds visitors to descend around 5 pm.
📌 Little Tips: Be prepared for sun protection and mosquito repellent, as there are many mosquitoes on the mountain. It is recommended to wear long sleeves on rainy days, as the wind from the waterfall is strong and can easily wet clothes.
For those who like to take photos, remember to save your pictures in advance, as there is no signal on the mountain.
Shoes must be slip-resistant! The wooden paths are really slippery, so walk steadily and carefully.
There are not many snack shops on the mountain, and there are queues, so remember to bring water and snacks with you!

Experience Review:
There is a gallery bridge hanging on the cliff, with a stream flowing continuously underneath. The waterfall pouring down from the sky looks very spectacular. The scene is a bit like the ones from a fantasy TV drama, really super beautiful and super healing for the heart. Whether it's a sunny or rainy day, it has its unique charm.
Travel Feelings:
The mountain path is very simple, just follow the stream all the way up. There are fences and ladders all the way, just follow them. Along the way, there are also small streams where you can play in the water and enjoy the coolness. The scenery is very beautiful and very suitable for taking photos.

If you come to Guangzhou, you must visit Baishuizhai!!
Late February to April is the perfect time for the blooming season of Bauhinia flowers, and the passageways at the foot of the mountain are lined with beautiful Bauhinia.
Three types of tickets: Adult ticket 60 RMB/person, Student ticket 30 RMB/person
Parking fee: 10 RMB/vehicle
Travel tips: The path up and down Baishuizhai is basically a single route, and there are signs everywhere, so there's no need to worry about getting lost. There are a total of 9999 steps in Baishuizhai, and it is recommended to retreat after reaching the 4099th step, as beyond that point it's all the most primitive forest trails. Those who are curious and physically fit can continue to explore. There are quite a few snack bars up and down the mountain, but as everyone knows, the prices are high, so it's recommended to bring your own snacks and drinking water. I personally climbed quite fast, and the whole journey took 4 and a half hours.
Personal feeling: If you buy a student ticket for 30 yuan, it's quite worth a visit. Also, if you want to see waterfalls in Guangzhou, Baishuizhai is definitely worth a visit.
