Nestled within a tropical rocky landscape lies the Dan Xia Park. It's a couple of hours drive from Guangzhou, with the nearest city being Shaoguan, about half n hour away.
The park is huge and is split into 3 main areas, which are all well looked after, signposted, and include hundreds of different walkways to explore. We paid ￥80 for full access and a map!
We had bad luck with the weather, but still found lots to do and see. The highlight is the steep ladder-like climb to the peak, it was extremely steep and needed hands and feet to conquer it. Makes the top extra worthwhile.
Would recommend and will return as there were lots of areas we didn't have time to explore. Fresh air and freedom!
Top tip: pay the car entrance fee of 15rmb to drive in as it will save you walking an additional 3km along a road.
