Baiyun Mountain — Attraction in Guangzhou City

We visited Baiyun Mountain during our time in Guangzhou, and it turned out to be a wonderful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s about a 30-minute ride from the city center, and once you arrive, you’re greeted by clean air, lush greenery, and a calm that’s hard to find in urban areas.

The mountain is sprawling with several entry points and hiking trails, suitable for both casual walkers and serious hikers. We took one of the electric shuttle buses up and enjoyed the scenic ride. Along the way, we spotted various gardens, small temples, and scenic pavilions.

Near that bungee jump faciltiy on can view the Guangzhou downtown vista. I am going back, the exercise is too good to miss. I paid RMB5 to enter via...
