Finally checked in at the much-anticipated Guangdong's Number One Peak! Standing at an altitude of 1902 meters watching the sea of clouds and sunrise is truly breathtaking~Here’s a super practical guide for everyone✨
🚗 Transportation Guide:
Drive and navigate to "Guangdong Number One Peak Tourist Scenic Area" to reach the destination. It takes about 3.5 hours by car from Guangzhou. You can drive up the mountain within the scenic area or choose the sightseeing shuttle bus (30 RMB/person round trip). For novice drivers, taking the shuttle bus is safer~
🏔 Play Guide:
- It’s recommended to start hiking at 5 AM to catch the stunning sunrise around 6 AM
- The main peak viewing platform offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the mountains and sea of clouds
- The Tianquan Waterfall halfway up the mountain is a must-visit refreshing spot
- Watching the sunset glow on the mountaintop in the evening is also super romantic
🛏 Accommodation Recommendations:
1. First Peak Resort (inside the scenic area): You can watch the sunrise right from the balcony, super convenient
2. Yangshan Yuetianxia Hot Spring Hotel: Perfect for soaking in a hot spring after descending the mountain to relieve fatigue
3. Chengjia Yao Village Homestay: Experience the ethnic minority culture
💡 Practical Tips:
1. The temperature difference at the top is large, remember to bring a jacket
2. Bring enough water and snacks as there are few supply points on the mountain
3. The best viewing period is from April to October; avoid the rainy season for safety
4. The Yao ethnic long table feast is worth trying (book in advance)
