Great Hiking Spots for the Weekend: Xiangsi Tower

⛱️Must-see attractions:
1️⃣ Nanshan Xiangsi Tower
2️⃣ Nanshan Mansion—Abandoned Villa
3️⃣ Huangjueya Old Street
🍜Food Guide:
1️⃣ Nanshan Spring Chicken
2️⃣ Nanshan Loquat Garden Hot Pot
🚄Transportation Guide:
1️⃣ I started directly from Exit 4 of Shangxin Street Station on the light rail, and went along Qingshui Creek Plank Road all the way to Caribbean Water World. At the end of the walkway is Caribbean Water World. On the left, there is a road leading to Nanshan Mansion. Go straight up along the road to reach the abandoned villa. You can enjoy the scenery of Yuzhong District next to the abandoned villa.
2️⃣ Then, continue along the abandoned road outside the villa (refer to Amap). At the end of the road (be careful, there are well pits), there is an upward path. Go along the path to the mountain next to it, and you will reach Xiangsi Tower.
3️⃣ I chose to go directly down from outside Xiangsi Tower, but this road is very steep and dangerous. It is not recommended to go down the mountain from here. The last picture is the way down the mountain that I took, which was very steep.
4️⃣ You can return 20 meters to the mountain pass and return to other places from the walkway next to it (I have not taken that road, but many partners have taken it).
💗Other tips:
1️⃣ There are many roads to go up to Xiangsi Tower. The mountain road is not easy to walk, so pay attention to safety.
2️⃣ Bring food and water
3️⃣ The night view from Xiangsi Tower is great
