Guidebook for Guangzhou Shi
Parks & Nature
Acclaimed as the "First Beauty in Guangzhou”, and conviently located just 5-8 minutes away, Baiyun Mountain (whose literal meaning is White Cloud Mountain) gives us a close, quick, and low-cost escape from the hustle and bustle of city life where we can enjoy greenery and fresh air as we ascend the hiking trails. Both paved and unpaved trails are available options.
I challenge you to reach the top of the mountain where you can catch a panoramic view of the city. A rarity, indeed!
