The scenery is beautiful and the air is negative oxygen. Because of limited time, we waited until 4999 to get down the mountain.
The ticket price is 60 yuan per person, with a 20% discount during the Spring Festival holiday. There are discounted tickets for the elderly, students and children, and the parking fee is 10 yuan.
After visiting the entire scenic area and climbing to Level 4099, it took four hours to go back and forth, which was quite tiring. There are no restaurants on the mountain, so it is best to go there early in the morning to finish the climb and go out for dinner.
I went there during the Chinese New Year. There were so many people. I was breathing in second-hand smoke, carbon dioxide emitted by others, and the smell of sweat and bad breath. The scenery was not particularly amazing, it can be said to be average. I don't recommend going there at all.
We arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at around 1:00 p.m., and it took us almost two hours to walk two-thirds of the way to the top of the mountain, which was more than 5,000 steps. We did not continue to climb the rest of the way.
Checking in at Baishuizhai, Zengcheng on January 29, 2017.
A must-go destination for a day trip in Guangzhou. The road conditions are great, self-driving is recommended. However, there are too many tourists during holidays, and you have to queue up to get on and off the wooden plank road, and there is little space for taking photos. As for the scenery, there is nothing to see except the waterfall. It is worth a visit if you have not been there.
Baishui Village is known as the "magnificent emerald on the Tropic of Cancer". It has high mountains and dense forests, fresh air, and abundant rainfall, which has created the largest waterfall in mainland China with a drop of 428.5 meters. It is said to be the incarnation of He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals. There is the only waterfront plank road built with sea ship wood in the country and the longest hiking trail in Guangdong, "The First Ladder in the South of the Sky". The concentration of negative ions in the air in the mountain forest waterfall area reaches 112,500/cubic centimeter, making it a veritable natural oxygen bar. It spans three high mountains and connects two large Tianchi. It is 6.6 kilometers long and has a total of 9,999 stone steps.
The ticket to the scenic spot is 60 yuan per person. After buying the ticket, the vehicle can drive directly to the parking lot inside.
Before entering the gate of the scenic area, there is a stone slab water road carefully set up, so that we can enter the water play warm-up mode in advance. There is a clear water lake at the foot of the mountain. The area is not large but the scenery is very beautiful. While taking my daughter to see the scenery, I taught her to distinguish the reflections of the blue sky and white clouds. The scenic area is very suitable for parent-child travel, and many children's elements can be seen along the way.
We walked along the creek all the way to the hiking trail, surrounded by green trees. From time to time, a stream would come out. We could sit on the rocks in the stream and play with water. My daughter was very excited. When we approached the interesting valley, some painted stones appeared one after another, with many small animals carved on them.
We continued walking along the waterfront trail. The air in the valley was fresh, the surrounding scenery was constantly changing, and we didn't feel tired. The waterfront trail was close to the stream and pointed to the depths of the valley. There were green shades along the way. I took my daughter to walk leisurely on the waterfront trail under the waterfall, approaching the fairy waterfall naturally and feeling relaxed. At Huixian Bridge, we could see the panoramic view of the waterfall. We caught many streams along the way. I didn't expect that we could see the trail and the stream from different angles on the way down the mountain. It was a different scenery, and we didn't feel particularly boring along the way.
To be fair, Baishuizhai's pure natural scenery is not superior to some super-famous scenic spots in China. The lake is not as colorful as Jiuzhaigou, and the waterfall is not as magnificent as Huangguoshu. But it is more fresh and natural, suitable for all seasons, and suitable for parent-child travel. And because the plank road and parent-child projects are very well developed and not affected by the season, it is very suitable for parent-child travel. At present, the ticket price is moderate, there are not many tourists, and it will not feel crowded to play in the water with children. Friends in Guangdong or surrounding areas can bring their babies to experience nature every month or every quarter, play in the water and climb mountains together, and enhance parent-child relationships.
Tips for playing:
1. The water flow of Baishuizhai Waterfall will be controlled from 4:00 p.m., so it is recommended to enter the park before 3:00 p.m.
2. The Baishuizhai trail is built beside waterfalls and streams. It is relatively slippery and the waterfall has a large flow of water. It is recommended that adults and children wear non-slip shoes. Do not stay when you see the fast pass sign to avoid accidents.
3. There are many steps between the shops on Baishuizhai Mountain. It is recommended to prepare some drinking water before climbing to avoid dehydration.
4. Children must pay attention to safety when playing in the water to avoid getting hurt and slipping.
It is recommended to prepare wound disinfectants to prevent injuries while hiking and playing in the water.
5. There is sufficient shade in the scenic area, so simple sun protection is sufficient and there is no need to be fully armed.
6. Purchase your ticket at the visitor center at the entrance, then park inside the park. Parking is free within the park.
It is worth a visit. If you are not in Zengcheng, it is recommended to spend two days. On the first day, go to Zengcheng city to play and stay overnight, or go to Baishuizhai one night in advance and stay nearby, and go up the mountain early on the second day. This way, you will have enough time to go up to Hexiangu Lake or the higher 9999 level. If you are traveling with a group, you basically have no time to go up to Hexiangu Lake. The shuttle bus from the park to Hexiangu Lake has stopped operating and you can only walk up by yourself.
It's just so-so, not very spectacular. A lot of the water is pumped up, so friends who go there should be prepared to climb the mountain.
Going to Baishuizhai Scenic Area in Zengcheng was not originally on my itinerary for my trip to Guangzhou. However, I didn't buy the train ticket to Zhuhai in time, so I decided to go to Baishuizhai. Since I drove by myself and drove smoothly on the highway from downtown Guangzhou, it took about an hour and a half to get there.
The main thing in Baishui Village is the waterfall. Looking at the waterfall from the entrance of the scenic area, you will feel the momentum of a waterfall falling three thousand feet. If you want to see the waterfall more closely, you can follow the hiking trail in the scenic area and climb up the steps. There are 9999 steps, which is known as the first ladder in the south of the sky. There are waterfall viewing platforms at the 1499, 2199, 3299, and 4099 steps. When we went there, it was lunch time and the sun was shining brightly. Fortunately, we brought enough water. Mountaineering is really not my strong point. I tried very hard but could not go up to the 1499 step. I feel that I have not climbed so many stairs this year. It is still relatively cool on the mountain, the mountain spring water is very cold, and it is quite relaxing to blow the wind. In fact, there is no scenery after the 4099 steps. It will take about five or six hours to climb the whole way.
The ticket is 60 yuan. We bought the ticket on Dianping.com first. Because we bought the ticket on the day, it was the same price as buying it on site. After arriving, we exchanged a ticket voucher at one of the windows at the ticket office at the entrance and then exchanged it for a paper ticket at the window next to it. There are quite a lot of ticket windows, but it seems that there are not many tourists in July, probably because the weather is too hot. In fact, the main purpose is to climb mountains and get close to nature.
A summer resort and a natural oxygen bar, the negative ion content in the air ranks first among scenic spots in Guangdong. It has the largest waterfall in China, four waterfall viewing platforms, and the 9,999-step "First Ladder in Southern China". You can walk along the waterfront plank road and feel the coolness of the mountains up close during the hot summer.
We arrived at 11:30 on Sunday. The weather was very hot. We officially entered the park at 11:50. There were a lot of people. We went up along the waterfront plank road all the way. We kept rushing in the middle because we were afraid that we would not have enough time. We stopped at the viewing points and places with good locations to take a few photos. The waterfall was very beautiful. We climbed to 3099 in one breath. It took about an hour. We rested for ten minutes. We felt a little hungry, so we ate some dry food. Then we reached 4099 in 20 minutes to see the Tianchi. The wind on the top of the mountain was relatively cool. We rested for ten minutes to replenish our energy. It was very comfortable. Then we continued to go up. There were very few people after 4099. The scenery was average. There were only steps. It took about 50 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Then there was a section of gentle steps on the top of the mountain. We kept going down the steps at the back. Our legs were weak from climbing. It took a total of two hours and fifty minutes to reach the end point 9999. There was only a sign standing at the end point 9999 without any signs or staff. Then we returned, followed the cement road to Tianchi and then went down the mountain. It was raining heavily when we returned. Fortunately, we brought an umbrella. When we watched the waterfall again, it was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was very charming. It was a fairyland on earth and worth a visit.
I climbed to level 9999, it took 2 hours and 50 minutes to climb up the mountain, and 1 hour and 40 minutes to return. I didn't rest on the way back, and only rested twice in the middle of the climb. My legs were weak from climbing, and it was very physically demanding. The weather was very hot, and I was sweating all the way, and my clothes were almost soaked. I needed to prepare more water and food to replenish my physical strength. I carried five bottles of water and drank them all, including two bottles of Dongpeng Special Drink. I brought three pieces of chocolate and ate two of them, plus some bread and the like. If you just want to see the scenery, you can climb to level 4099. There is nothing to see behind, only steps. It is suitable for mountaineering enthusiasts. You must bring enough water in the hot summer. The waterfall is beautiful. Everyone is welcome to come and see it. . .
The surrounding environment is still very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the temperament of dragon veins. The air on the mountain is very good, and climbing to 4099 should be no problem
Starting from Tianhe District in Guangzhou, I first took the subway to University Town to meet up with my friend who was driving, and then drove to the Baishuizhai ticket office, which took more than two hours.
Tips: The ticket price is 60 yuan/person, it is said that it is 45 yuan/person if you buy it online, and the parking fee is 10 yuan extra.
The scenery is really nice, going up along the stream. But the weather was too hot so we didn't climb to the top of the mountain!
Friends who want to go to Baishuizhai in Zengcheng are advised to drive there. The mountain is very high and some places are steep. It is recommended to wear comfortable hiking shoes or sports shoes. Don't leave any regrets and be sure to climb to the top. It's beautiful!
Most people can't climb 10,000 steps. I turned back only when my heart was beating faster. The scenery along the way was pretty good. I heard there is a lake halfway up the mountain where you can jump in and swim.
One of the lungs of Guangdong? Anyway, the air is super fresh, there is a big waterfall, a big reservoir, and many, many, many stairs. Be sure to be prepared because you have to walk at least thousands of stairs haha
There are many waterfalls in Baishui Village, and there should be dozens of them. It feels very refreshing to see the waterfalls up close, and the scenery is also beautiful. It costs 54 yuan to book a ticket online, which is still worth it. If you haven't been here, hurry up and take action. If you don't believe it, here are a few pictures to tempt you!
A good place for hiking. The mountain is not very high, but it is beautiful with clear water and beautiful scenery. There is the largest waterfall in China, and you can see a rainbow. There is also a park at the foot of the mountain, with many colorful paintings and childish fun. 9999 steps, very challenging. There is a beautiful reservoir on the top of the mountain. You can't walk into the reservoir, but you can enjoy the scenery and rest around it. It's really nice. Go when the weather is clear, it's really sunny and beautiful, refreshing!
Baishui Village is a mountain with a man-made waterfall. The man-made waterfall cannot compare with the one outside, but it is also beautiful when you look at it up close. You can feel the coolness of the water as you walk up, which is also very comfortable. There are also small shops along the way, but there are not many varieties, after all, they are also carried up by hand. I haven't been to the top yet, but I heard that the scenery at the top is pretty good.
Baishuizhai is near Guangzhou, now called Zengcheng District. It is relatively close and you can go there on weekends. I signed up for a package that includes a car, tickets and a meal, which is quite cost-effective.
Baishui Village is mainly a natural waterfall and a reservoir on the top of the mountain. It is rich in forest resources and rich in negative oxygen ions. Climbing the mountain is very beneficial. It is very cool in the summer. There are many mountain water tofu puddings for sale in the mountains. It is very cool and refreshing. It is best to have a bowl to replenish water after sweating. It is still good to go there on weekends. If you drive there, don't go to the farmer's own parking lot, it's expensive! There are many parking spaces in the scenic area, very cheap!
Baishui Village is located in Zengcheng, with abundant water, lush branches and leaves, and charming scenery!
Arrived at 1pm on Saturday, the scenic area was crowded, but there was no traffic jam, and there were parking lots inside and outside the scenic area. The on-site adult ticket was 60 yuan/person, and the parking fee was 10 yuan.
The scenic area is pristine and intact, and with the addition of a waterfall with abundant water flow and a large drop, the remaining heat is swept away.
Those who are capable can challenge themselves to walk to the top of level 9999.
The clear and unpolluted mountain and water constantly attract tourists to cool off in the water.
The scenic area is well cleaned, with many trash cans set up along the way, but it still cannot escape the clutches of mainlanders. The mountains and waters along the way are always filled with such inharmonious garbage that destroys the beautiful scenery.
This attraction is suitable for everyone, especially for patients with three highs and a big belly to replenish life.
The lychees on the way there are so delicious~ The water is also clearer
The scenery is nice, with mountains, water and vegetation, but climbing is a bit tiring.
Baishuizhai is especially suitable for hiking in the summer. The whole mountain has 9999 steps, but I suggest you climb to 4999. I once climbed 9999 in one go and was basically paralyzed the next day... Within 4999 steps, there will be a water-friendly waterfall platform every few steps, where you can feel the pleasure of the waterfall splashing on your body~
From Guangzhou:
8.00: Tianhe Bus Station to Conghua Bus Station (about 1 hour). No traffic jam
9.30: Take the bus from Conghua Bus Station to Baishuizhai Scenic Area (about half an hour)
Arrived at the scenic spot at 10 o'clock, bought tickets, checked tickets, and walked on the wooden plank road. Very beautiful
12 o'clock to level 4099
It's very beautiful. It just rained and the clouds and mist are very beautiful.
The food there is not expensive, but it is relatively simple and there are few things
We continued to climb the mountain at 13:20, going up and down the stairs. We reached level 9999 at around 14:30. This section was really a pitfall... I was full of confidence and thought I was challenging myself, but it turned out to be on the road? ! ! The sign suggested returning the same way, so far... If you go down the road, it's 26 kilometers... I don't know why there were no buses, but fortunately a ride-sharing car took us down in about 20 minutes for 30 yuan per person. Back to Conghua Bus Station. There is a snack street near the bus station, which is very good.
But I would like to remind you not to go during holidays as the large crowds will affect the experience.
I was lucky to go today, it felt like I had the whole place to myself, hahaha
Beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, flowing water in the mountains and clear streams.
Although it is January, the waterfalls in the scenic area are still spectacular. Surprisingly, the water volume is still very large. Walking along the waterside plank road straight into the depths of the valley, close to the green shade of the stream, and with fresh air, one feels happy and comfortable. Tiannan's first ladder 9999 runs from the foot of the mountain to the top of Baishuizhai Mountain, with a group of waterfalls, making it the longest and most beautiful hiking trail in Guangdong.
In fact, as an artificial waterfall, Baishuizhai is a pretty good tourist destination. Although it doesn't have the flavor of a natural waterfall, it has the benefit of water flowing all year round. Moreover, as a short scenic spot 100 kilometers away from Guangzhou, it is a good choice for weekend day trips for those living in Guangzhou.
Two people went there on the weekend. We only climbed to 4999 and saw the Fairy Lake. It was pretty. It would be better if there were no fences. There is a waterfall in it which is also pretty good.
Baishuizhai is a beautiful scenic spot. It is absolutely comfortable to play in the water in July. There are beautiful scenery all the way, and the natural environment is great. However, the stairs going up are very long. It takes at least four hours to climb to the end, and it is estimated to be seven or eight hours to go back and forth. Children aged seven or eight can go together, but those younger than seven or eight can basically not walk far.
I went there during the May Day holiday this year. Because it was a holiday, there were a lot of people, but I still went there with my friends.
After buying the ticket and entering, I saw the first ladder of Tiannan and wanted to take a picture, but there were too many people, so I gave up and didn't take any pictures. Then I followed the signs and walked forward. There were a lot of people on the road. I was tired and it was impossible to take a break. My friend and I were pushed forward by the people behind us. The waterfall on the road was still very good. When we reached the 4099th level, there were some rest areas similar to highway service areas. My friend and I took a short rest and then walked up. We saw a large reservoir with a road on the side that led to the 9999th level. When we came here, we thought we must walk to the end, so we walked and played. I remember that we climbed the mountain around noon, and it was around five in the afternoon when we reached the top and returned along the same route. The abominable thing was that when we reached the top, the sign for the 9999th level was like this, 😥
There are 9,999 stairs. It's great to be able to climb to the top. However, when I went there, I didn't climb many stairs because of time constraints. But the scenery there is pretty good.
Zengcheng Baishuizhai has 9999 steps. I climbed 4099 steps in 3 hours without stopping. The remaining 5900 steps are closed after 3 o'clock because there is no light to go down the mountain. Many people gave up climbing 3000 steps. It was too tiring. I climbed 4099 steps to see Xiangu Lake (Figure 2). It is said that it takes 6 hours to climb 9999 steps. If you want to go, you should prepare for camping. Girls should not wear heavy makeup, high heels and skirts. You will sweat a lot. Prepare sports shoes and casual suits.
Baishuizhai is a really nice place. Although it is very tiring. The top of the mountain is really far from the ticket gate. I took photos while holding an umbrella, and my clothes got wet and dry and wet again. Be careful when holding an umbrella in the heavy rain to avoid being knocked down by the branches above your head. There is no railing on the stone steps to the top, otherwise you will fall down the mountain, and then... nothing will happen.
Suitable for self-driving tours with friends and family. One day round trip, or a better choice is to stay overnight. Climb the mountain, eat at the surrounding farmhouses, and in September and October, there are local specialties such as dense stone red persimmons, which have thin skin, sweet flesh and no seeds. We went there during the National Day holiday. There were too many people on Baishuizhai Mountain, and it was tiring to climb. It is recommended to avoid the peak period of holidays.
I went there during the Dragon Boat Festival. There were many people, but I still climbed to the end.
The scenery at the bottom of the scenic area is very good. You can play in the water. The water is very cold. If you want to take the ladder, it is recommended to climb to 4099. There are no attractions and no people on the way up. The road behind is all downhill. There is no special scenery at the 9999 level, and there are many mosquitoes. At the end is the road, which can go directly to the reservoir at 4099. You can drive. If you are alone, it is recommended not to go to the back by yourself. I was alone, and it started to rain at the end. Fortunately, I met someone who drove to the reservoir and took a SF Express car back to the reservoir. Later, I thought about it and was a little scared. . . .
A place with super beautiful scenery, picturesque mountains and clear waters. You can get half-price tickets with your student ID. It took 4099 meters to reach the Fairy Pool. I was really exhausted.
I didn't expect there is such a waterfall in Guangdong. The water is clear, the water volume is not large, but the drop is not small. The slope is not too steep along the steps all the way up, and it is not too tiring to walk up. It is suitable for friends who like to relax. It is divided into several levels, namely 2999, 4999, and 9999. You can get close to the waterfall at 4999. The water is cool, and there is a landscape park at your feet, where visitors can play in the water, soak their feet, wash their hands, and feel it!
Baishuizhai Scenic Spot is located in Paitan Town, Zengcheng District, with an area of about 170 km2. The Tropic of Cancer passes through it, and it is known as the magnificent emerald on the Tropic of Cancer. It is a mountainous scenic spot. There are high mountains and steep peaks in the scenic area. There are 9 peaks with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, among which the highest peak is Niuguzhang with an altitude of 1,088 meters. The mountain is tall, steep, and straight, and it is majestic, strange, dangerous, and beautiful.
Baishuizhai Scenic Area has rare natural ecological resources in Guangdong, such as primitive forests, shallow wetlands, and canyon lakes. The most eye-catching of these is the Baishuixian Waterfall, the largest waterfall in mainland China with a drop of 428.5 meters. Its beautiful shape is like a fairy descending to the earth. It is said to be the incarnation of He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals. Baishuizhai is also a natural oxygen bar. The air negative ion content in the mountain forest waterfall area is as high as 112,500/cubic centimeter, ranking first among Guangdong scenic spots.

Take a bus from Guangzhou (601 at Liuhua Station, 602 at Tianhe Dongpu, 603 at Tianhe Bus Station, 607 at Fangcun Bus Station) to Conghua. There is a special bus from Conghua Hedong Bus Station to Baishuizhai. Or take a bus to Zengcheng Guangming West Station, and then transfer to the special bus to Baishuizhai.
After taking a bus from any place to Conghua Jiekou Bus Station, you can directly transfer to the "Conghua Jiekou-Zengcheng Baishuizhai special bus" to easily arrive there. The special bus runs every 15 minutes.
It took more than 2 hours to go from 0 to 3699, but it only took an hour to go from 4099 to 9999. Everyone thought that 9999 was at the top of the mountain, but it was not at the bottom. It was a bit disappointing.
Baishuizhai Scenic Area is located in Paitan Town in the northern mountainous area of Zengcheng City. It is now a provincial scenic area with an area of about 170 square kilometers. The Tropic of Cancer passes through it. It is known as the magnificent emerald on the Tropic of Cancer and is a mountainous scenic area.
9999 steps, very challenging. Baishuizhai scenic spot is suitable for family travel. There are many families driving out to play along the way, big and small. Isn't this what a happy life is like? The purpose of travel is not the destination, but the process. Blindly climbing to the top will ignore the beautiful scenery along the way. It is not necessary to climb to the top, just enjoy the process. Looking at this clear stream, a restless heart can't help it. I really want to soak in the stream to cool down... Standing on an unknown number of steps, the waterfall roars down beside me, just like drizzle on my body, that cool...

Baishuizhai Waterfront Plank Road is great! The kids play water gun battles, and the adults climb the mountain to enjoy the waterfall. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. [Strong][Strong] There are 9999 steps in total, and people usually stop climbing after 4999 steps.
I saw this waterfall from a distance and thought it was man-made. The weather in Guangzhou is not suitable for hiking. It's a bit crazy.
Guangzhou East Bus Terminal has opened a tourist bus that goes directly to Baishuizhai every weekend. It departs at 8:30 and sells tickets for about 30 yuan. It is only 98 yuan. The journey takes one and a half hours. I recommend buying this. I only bought a bus for my parents, thinking that I would exchange it for senior citizen tickets with Tongcheng when I went to the scenic spot. As a result, the gate of the scenic spot is seven or eight minutes away from the ticket gate. The bus stopped near the ticket gate. When I arrived at the ticket gate, I was told that I had to go back to the gate to exchange the ticket. I went back to exchange the ticket under the scorching sun.
The bus service on the mountain has stopped, there is no cable car, and climbing is basically by walking. There are no restaurants, only snack shops, grilled sausages, boiled corn, mountain water tofu pudding, jelly, etc., so we brought our own dry food.
The steps from the bottom of the mountain to level 1299 are not steep at all. There are streams along the way, where you can take your children to play in the water. Level 1499 is the big waterfall, where the air is very good and it is very spectacular. Level 4099 is quite steep, so it is not easy to go up with the elderly and children. It takes about 2 hours to walk and play to level 1499, and it is estimated to take 3-4 hours to level 4099.
Return to take the children to play in the water. Considering the sneakers worn for hiking, it is recommended to bring a pair of slippers. The stones in the water are quite prickly, of course, there are slippers for sale nearby for 20 yuan a pair.
Do what you can!
We went there in May 2011. It had just rained that day. The mountains were shrouded in mist. There are 9,999 steps in Baishui Village. The steps are very gentle before the 1,000th step. It gets steeper after that. When we reached the 2,000th step, we were already in the mist. Afterwards, everyone was tired. We could take a bus down the mountain near the platform of the 4,000th step. It took us about 40 minutes to reach the foot of the mountain.
This attraction is relatively close to home. Anyway, there is only one thing to do: climbing stairs! Haha, just climb all the way, climb non-stop, climb endlessly. It is said that there are 9999 steps in total. I climbed halfway and said I couldn’t climb any higher! It usually takes five or six hours to climb up the mountain and down the mountain. It’s so tiring! My thighs were sore for a week after I came back, but the natural scenery there is quite good. It was very windy when I climbed up! Hahaha… . . . . . .
The scenic spot is located in Zengcheng, with mountains, water and lush vegetation. There are two ways up the mountain: a wooden plank road and stone steps. The wooden plank road has a gentle slope, so it is effortless to walk on it, which is super cool.
Although it was raining heavily halfway up the mountain when I went there on Saturday, I felt very indulgent and great as I walked in the rain. The oxygen ions are very rich, and it is a good place.
Went on Saturday, there were many people. It took about three hours to reach level 4099, but I didn't go up because of the rain. I hope I can see the scenery of level 9999 next time. The environment in the scenic area is OK, no garbage was seen, the air was good, it's worth a visit. Hahaha, no more words, just pictures!
Although it is a man-made waterfall, the scenery along the way is pleasant and the air is fresh. It is worth visiting! It is not recommended for the elderly and children to climb too high stairs, as it is still very tiring. It is really commendable to see parents motivating their children in various ways along the way! Many young people also returned halfway, but they still insisted on climbing to the 4999 stairs. After going up, there was a wide open space in front of them. It was a very beautiful reservoir. Legend has it that it is the incarnation of He Xiangu! If it happens to be foggy on the day you go, it will be like being in a fairyland! If you have enough physical strength, you must challenge the 9999 stairs! But climbing to 4999 is already tiring enough, so remember to bring water and dry food, and wear comfortable sports shoes or hiking shoes.
The scenery in the first half is better, especially the waterfall is very bright, the road is not boring, but the scenery in the second half, especially the reservoir at 4099, is average. The closure of the scenic area bus also caused many inconveniences.
It is more comfortable to walk in the mountains, the environment is good, and the air is good
The scenery is OK, but there are few toilets. There is a lot of garbage if you go up the reservoir platform on the top of the mountain...
The environment is very good! There are thick trees and shade! I went there about a month ago! The overall feeling is not bad! But China Mobile often has no signal! China Unicom has a network, so I brought two mobile phones that day! The ticket price for Zengcheng locals is 25 yuan per person! But the service attitude of the ticket seller is too bad! When they heard that I was from Zengcheng, they ignored me! This is what I am most dissatisfied with!
Zengcheng Baishuizhai is a great place to go for water activities, mountain climbing, waterfall viewing, beautiful scenery, and fresh air.
Baishuizhai Scenic Area has rare natural ecological resources in Guangdong, such as primitive forests, shallow wetlands, and canyon lakes. The most eye-catching of these is the Baishuixian Waterfall, the country's largest waterfall with a drop of 428.5 meters. Its beautiful shape is like a fairy descending to earth. It is said to be the incarnation of He Xiangu, one of the Eight Immortals.
Baishuizhai is also a natural oxygen bar. The content of negative ions in the air in the mountain forest and waterfall area is as high as 112,500 per cubic centimeter, ranking first among Guangdong scenic spots.
The endless waterfall brings pure, natural, and constantly flowing mountains and waters to the park, and the waves are as shimmering as the green light of emerald green. The park is made up of rocks of various shapes, which are scattered in a disorderly manner. The stones have been polished and are smooth yet interesting. Green trees, flowers and lush green grass dot the waterside, full of vitality.
Don't go on holidays because there will be too many people. If you go on weekends, it is recommended to enter the park before 9:30 when there will be fewer people.
Local meals are not expensive, and it is better to buy less local specialties at the entrance of the scenic area. The Shanshui tofu pudding is fresh and delicious, and is worth a try.
The scenic area is closed to levels above 4999, but the ticket prices are still the same. There is room for improvement in the sanitation of the scenic area.
People living in Guangzhou can come here to stroll around and climb the mountains on weekends.
If you are planning to visit Guangzhou specifically, it is not recommended to add this point to your itinerary.
The scenic spot itself is not very interesting to visit; transportation is inconvenient and the ride is tiring and stressful; tickets are expensive.
It’s also a fun way to invite a few friends to drive over, stay in a villa, and eat farm food.
In fact, Baishui Village is not as high as the so-called 9999 levels, especially after the 4099-level reservoir. Don't be scared by the data. There are no more than 5000 levels left. Half of the levels after 4099 are uphill and half are downhill. It is impossible to have more than 5000 levels left. The total of up and down may be about 3000. It will take about 35 minutes to reach the top, which is slightly steeper than the previous one. It is recommended to reach the top without regrets. It is also worth noting that when you arrive at the 4099 Tianchi, there are private vans to take you down the mountain. The asking price is 30 per person, and you can bargain for 25 per person. It is said that you will be taken to the 9999 level for viewing, but it is actually a lie. The so-called 9999 level position where the car arrives is actually the position to arrive at the top, so you can wait for the car after coming down from the top. In short, I personally feel that those who have not been to Baishui Village can visit it, and I have no desire to go there a second time.
The waterfall has a large amount of water, the water is clear, and the air is good away from the city, which is suitable for weekend trips. If you are not traveling by car, it is a little inconvenient to take a car to get there.
It is very convenient to go to Baishuizhai from Guangzhou. There are only two buses that go directly to Baishuizhai: Conghua Bus Station and Zengcheng Bus Station. You can take a bus to these two places first and then transfer to Baishuizhai. The bus from Fangcun Bus Station to Paitan (Baishuizhai) as claimed on the official website is not available for ticket purchase at the moment. The specific reason is unclear. If everything goes well, the entire journey can be controlled within one and a half hours.
Speaking of tickets, you can book them on Tongcheng.com. Remember to book one day in advance and then exchange them for tickets on site. The face value of the ticket is 60 yuan and the discounted price is 54 yuan.
Next, let's talk about the itinerary. After entering the gate of the scenic area, you still need to walk for about 5 minutes to reach the ticket gate. After entering the ticket gate, you can take pictures at the first ladder of Tiannan, then enter from the line on the left, and walk directly up along the waterfall until you reach the reservoir. There are 4099 steps in total. This section of the road is very suitable for taking pictures, and it is best to take pictures while walking up the mountain. It took me 2.5 hours to go up the mountain and 1.5 hours to go down the mountain. If you are physically fit enough, you can challenge the 9999 steps. There is a viewing pavilion at the top with a wide view and a special sense of accomplishment, but one thing to note is that you must get down the mountain before 17:30 on the same day.
The waterfall is spectacular, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very suitable for sightseeing

The company organized the trip. It was raining on the day we went, but the water was still super clear. There were many small waterfalls along the way. We climbed halfway up the mountain and had a bowl of tofu pudding for 5 yuan after a break. We wanted to continue climbing, but the locals said it would take at least 2 hours to climb to the top of the mountain. We had to go down the mountain to gather, so we had to leave with regret. It was the end of September, and the stalls outside were selling persimmons for 10 yuan a basket, which was quite a lot, very cost-effective. They also sold dried goods, mountain products, and the local villagers we met were still very simple.
How to describe it? The environment, air, and ecology are all very good, comparable to some top scenic spots, but the place is a little small. It is a good place for mountaineering and leisure.
It was fun and the scenery was nice, but the return to Shenzhen was a bit congested.
It is suitable for people who like mountain climbing. They can tour from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the top and enjoy various unique scenery along the way.
The scenic area has a beautiful environment and fresh air. It is very suitable for sightseeing. I went there early with my friends and had plenty of time. We climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are multiple waterfall viewing platforms along the way. You can see the waterfall up close and feel the momentum of the waterfall. The beautiful scenery along the way is very comfortable.
The water is released after 9 o'clock every day, and the source is a reservoir. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, and it is quite comfortable to take a leisure walk.
The 9999 steps are not so easy to climb, and there is also a big waterfall.

(2) Material preparation: The dining spots in the scenic area are concentrated at the foot of the mountain. There are few supply spots on the mountain and the prices are slightly higher.
