898 meters, the first peak of Dongguan
Yinpingshan, is the highest peak of Dongguan City, known as the 'first peak of Dongguan'. Its name comes from the shape of the mountain top like an inverted silver bottle.
After four hours, we finally reached the top. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, the mountains are continuous, the layers are stacked with green, the clouds are lingering, the most characteristic is the towering main peak of Yinpingshan, straight into the clouds, majestic and spectacular, making people marvel at the nature's craftsmanship.
The natural ecology in Yinpingshan Forest Park is well preserved, and the biodiversity is rich. This trip not only exercised the body, but also felt the beauty of the unique natural scenery of Yinpingshan.
