Baiyun Mountain offers a recommended circular route that includes a moderate Baiyun distance. It offers a variety of attractions, gentle slopes, and minimal steps, making it an ideal destination for family outings. Along the way, you may even encounter squirrels and other local wildlife. If you seek convenience, you can book a self-driving sightseeing car with AI navigation.
The Helong Reservoir plays a key role in flood control and ecological irrigation. Along the shoreline, a beautiful emerald path intertwines with the surrounding natural landscapes, creating a harmonious blend with the environment. The 3.7-kilometer-long emerald path integrates various functions and features at 10 scenic spots. In shallow waters, you can even touch snails. However, taking the circular route around the reservoir is recommended to ensure safety.

Jingxi Ecological Park is located at Rhino Horn Mountain and offers various leisure facilities, making it a comprehensive ecological park. For beginners, taking the small circular route, which features a flat stone path, resting pavilions, and a quick ascent to the mountaintop, is recommended. However, there are many forked paths on the mountain and no restrooms or supplies, so visitors need to bring their own water and food.

Liupan Mountain, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Guangzhou", has a trail length of about 10 km and beautiful scenery. The atmosphere of the "primitive small forest" is thick, and the blending of mountains and water creates a fairyland-like environment. However, no toilets or trash cans are on the mountain, and the cliff edges are dangerous, so avoid taking photos near them.
Each of these four trails has its unique characteristics, and there is one that suits you. Why not invite some friends and head to the mountains to experience the beauty of Baiyun?
