Danxia Mountain is located in Renhua County, Shaoguan City, in the northern part of Guangdong Province, China, and is the place where the Danxia landform was named. Danxia Mountain is composed of red sandstone and is characterized by its red cliffs. The ancients named it "Danxia Mountain" because it means "its color is like cinnabar and its brilliance is like bright clouds." Danxia Mountain is a national nature reserve, a national key scenic spot and a national geological park in China. On February 13, 2004, Danxia Mountain was named as the first World Geopark by UNESCO. Thinking back to those years, because my name contains the character "Xia", So I really want to walk around this mountain🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 #Overseas Travel# I miss you so much

Wu Youtong Jinzhai is located in the hinterland of Danxia Center, surrounded by beautiful scenery and surrounded by bamboo forest. The furnishings in the house are very lively and lively, and the flowers and the mottled sunshine are perfect match. Although there is no luxury of five-star hotels in Jinjinzhai, but the small space is filled with a small fresh, chic little book, The playful and cute little ornaments and the pleasing small pots give a kind of home-like warmth; the rooms on different floors are clean and tidy, simple and elegant; the blue tones of curtains, washstands, tables, chairs, lamps, chandeliers, etc. In addition, the ship's rudder, lifebuoy and other ship decorations embedded in the wall feel as if they are in an ocean-going ship sailing on the blue sea.

Worthy of National Geographic! Encountered landscapes in Danxia Mountain that resemble the alien terrain from "Dune"! China's version of the Grand Canyon! Wandering through the rainforest, stepping into a mysterious green world, then seeing massive red agate-like rocks. You can hike through the grand canyon— this is my secret outdoor exploration paradise. This time, I trekked the Wild Danxia Loop Trail, covering 14 kilometers in total, with a real sense of adventure, fully experiencing the magical power of nature. One moment, you're atop the mountain gazing at peaks and sky, the next, you're at the valley floor admiring water and stones. The flora and scenery keep changing along the way, and the trail difficulty fluctuates too. 🚘 🚄: Take the high-speed train to Shaoguan Station (1.5h from Guangzhou), then hop on the convenient shuttle bus 🚌 at the entrance. 🚗: Drive from Guangzhou to Danxia Mountain in Shaoguan (2h).

Once you gain enlightenment, life becomes effortless. There’s a particularly amusing anecdote: "I hate hiking with people who only care about reaching the destination. I love hiking with those who don’t mind pausing to examine rotting wood, photograph butterflies and spiders, or gaze at a passing cloud. If everyone just rushes to the summit, with brief stops only for eating or drinking, it’d be so dull. The ideal travel companions are animal experts, plant experts, insect enthusiasts, and the endlessly curious." Hiking is the same— it’s about feeling the world, staying endlessly curious!! We chose a bamboo forest meditation trail, where scenes from *Black Myth: Wukong* came to life. Upon entering Danxia Mountain’s gate, the crimson rocks loomed faintly through the mist. At the foot of Yangyuan Stone, we craned our necks to see the russet pillar piercing the sky, marveling at nature’s craftsmanship. From the Elder Peak viewpoint, the distant landscape looked like spilled paint—streaks of red and shadow, breathtakingly beautiful. 📍Location: Wild Danxia Mountain, Shaoguan Duration: Two days, one night; ~14km hike Intensity: ★★★☆ (Requires carrying 10-15kg gear + 3L water) 🚘 🚄: High-speed rail to Shaoguan Station (1.5h from Guangzhou). Direct shuttle buses 🚌 are available at the entrance. 🚗: Self-drive from Guangzhou takes ~2h to Danxia Mountain.

For those still undecided about Dragon Boat Festival travel plans, I recommend this stunning mountain scenery just 1 hour from Guangzhou - Shaoguan Danxia Mountain! I believe life doesn't always require climbing upward, Sometimes it's about wandering around. 36 hours away from the world, 16km roundtrip hike (8+8km) lasting 12 hours. We hesitated for long when it was raining before departure, Never expected such an exhilarating day. No signal throughout the journey, We trekked through mountain forests with backpacks, Experiencing all four seasons along the way. Slept on cliffs listening to pines swaying in mountain winds. Heavy-load hiking is a tangible metaphor for life - Your backpack carries all survival essentials. Some additional tips for heavy-load hikers: Rational backpack distribution is crucial! Must bring windproof/waterproof jacket - Kailas hiking softshell!!! Super cool. Wear anti-slip hiking shoes - Rainforest mountain paths can be slippery. 🌟 Before any hike: understand total distance, duration, elevation gain, altitude, and weather. These determine if your skills/gear are adequate. Heavy-load hikes are significantly harder than light-load. 🔸 Wear anti-slip hiking boots!! Some paths are steep and slippery!! 🔸 Summer essentials: sun hat, mosquito repellent, medicated oil, etc. 🔸 The scenic area is vast - bring water and snacks. No supply points along the way!!! The national flag waving atop the post-rain summit was truly awe-inspiring. 🚘 Transportation: 🚄 High-speed rail to Shaoguan Station (3h bus from Guangzhou) 🚗 Self-drive: Navigate to📍Danxia Mountain, Shaoguan

Banzai Mountain in Guangzhou is an absolute gem that shouldn't be missed if you find yourself in this vibrant city. As someone who enjoys nature and breathtaking views, I couldn't resist the opportunity to hike up this magnificent mountain. First and foremost, let me tell you about the hike itself. The trail is well-marked and offers a moderate level of difficulty, making it suitable for both experienced hikers and beginners like myself. The lush greenery and mesmerizing scenery along the way made every step worth it. The air was fresh and invigorating, providing a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As I ascended, the panoramic views of Guangzhou gradually unfolded before my eyes. The sight of the sprawling city skyline against the backdrop of the mountain range was truly awe-inspiring. It felt like I was on top of the world, taking in the beauty of nature and the marvels of human achievement all at once. Once I reached the summit, I was greeted by a tranquil and serene atmosphere. There is a small pavilion where you can rest and soak up the stunning views. It's the perfect spot to take a break, have a picnic, or simply meditate and appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. One of the highlights of Banzai Mountain is the cable car ride down. Not only does it provide a thrilling experience, but it also offers a different perspective of the mountain and the city below. The smooth ride down allowed me to relax and reflect on the incredible adventure I had just experienced. In terms of facilities, Banzai Mountain offers clean and well-maintained restrooms along the trail, as well as small vendors selling refreshments near the cable car station. While the amenities are not extensive, they are sufficient to meet the needs of visitors. Overall, my experience at Banzai Mountain was nothing short of amazing. It's a hidden gem that offers a tranquil escape and a chance to reconnect with nature. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an avid hiker, or simply someone seeking a peaceful retreat, this mountain has something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting Banzai Mountain in Guangzhou, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. #Hiking #hikingtrails #hikingtrails #mountain #China #chinatravel

Its such a happy decision. We went to the pier of Xitou Village and boarded the boat of the Jinjiang River. We saw the unique Danxia landform of Danxia Mountain all the way. The red rocks are like the splendid morning glow and the lush green trees, and the breeze. Gently rubbing the face, this feeling is really super comfortable. small tips: Youjiangs boat is 45 points per hour. You can see the time and wait for the boat. After landing, we continue to visit the ancient village. I know that the ancient village of Shitang is very famous, but we went to the Niubi Village, which is completely quiet and small village. There is no commercial atmosphere, and tourists only have a few of us. It feels much more comfortable than the lively commercial town. Green bricks and pebbles, the bright sunshine slanted on the moss on the ground, walking freely in the quiet alleys, a pleasant afternoon. After passing through the alley, I met a few old ladies who were playing cards. I was curious about the onlookers. The simple days were full of little fun and I really envied them.

Packed a car from the hotel to Xiafugu Village, Danxia Mountain, located in the southwest side of Renhua County, Shaoguan. The county seat is 10 km away. It is an ancient village with a history of more than 700 years. The location is a bit remote. It can be found by using a mobile phone to navigate. The driver who drives is also a local person from Shaoguan. He said that he was the first time to hear about this place, so that he drove the car over his head. do not know. After getting off at a big tree, you can see a group of old houses with the charm of a Chinese ancient village. I think that is the village of Xiafu. Danxia Mountain Xiafugu Village is well preserved, with more than 1,000 households, has not yet been developed into a tourist attraction, walking in the village, you can see Many children are squatting in it. Many old people sit on the chairs in the door to avoid the heat and discuss each other. Xiafu Ancient Village is also known as Changshou Village. Here you can see the old man coming out to work and returning from time to time. The old man asked what the camera was calling. I told him to call the drone.

The highest point of the Elder Peak Scenic Area is 409 meters above sea level. It is not too high compared with many famous mountains. It is not too big, but it sets the wonders of Huangshan Mountain, the danger of Huashan Mountain, and the show of Guilin. It has a dangerous, two strange and three beautiful Features. Danxia Mountain has a variety of pleasant hiking routes, majestic scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, narrow trails stretching over the cliffs (of course, with guardrail protection), the most amazing are those forms Different shapes like the mountain shape of male and female sexual organs are all impressive. Danxia Mountain Just like the back garden of Guangzhou, just a few hours drive from Guangzhou, you can come to a different place in China. Danxia Mountain is one of the only two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Guangdong Province, and the scenery is fascinating and feasting. Cantonese people are very familiar with this place, but for many foreigners living in Guangzhou, this beautiful place is still like an unexplored pearl, quietly shining there. Looking at this open view, my heart has become wider. After continuous climbing, we came to the top of the mountain to look up, this is also the best place to watch the sunset, the scenery is very open.

My friend strongly recommended that I go to visit Danxia Mountain. Here, the color is like , . It is said to have been well-deserved. It is said that it has been thousands of years old. Although the altitude is not very high, several mountain roads are very steep and thrilling. But don't have a taste. I heard that the sunrise here is very famous. Some people praised that the sunrise and the scenery are unique, and the Danxia sunrise is unique. I must see the sunrise again next time. I suggest you bring it when you come to play. A mountaineering cane, with a small bottle of water, Danxia Mountain really feels like walking from the day to the night, but unfortunately because the protected area can only live under the mountain, otherwise I think if you live in the mountains, the night sky should be very beautiful.

Two days of smoke and rain, Danxia Mountain, I really cried this climbed, wearing a raincoat or a wet rhythm good every time I climbed to the top of the mountain is a fairyland-like comfort good stay in the inn Too much I like suddenly fell in love with the experience of the inn
