At noon, we rested on the platform at the pass and had a picnic on the spot. After the rest, we officially headed to the summit. The whole way was a rocky slope, and we climbed to the top with the help of ropes.

When taking photos at the top of the mountain, remember to pay attention to safety and go down the mountain in time. The path is steep, so be careful to support each other.

After a quick descent back to the convenience store at the foot of the mountain, we restocked our supplies and boarded the bus back to Guangzhou. We arrived back around 7:30 PM, marking the end of a wonderful day. We agreed to see you next time at the Tourists Arena.

Hiking: 8 km, 5-7 hours, maximum elevation gain: 887 meters, total climb: 812 meters. This route retains some of the original mountain trails, with some sections unmarked. The path is steep, with long stretches through dense forest. Some sections are steep, requiring both hands and feet.

Zhuxiannao Mountain in Shilian, Longnan, stands at 889 meters high. Its steep terrain makes it a strategically important location. At the summit of Feiqiao Peak, a place called "Pingkeng" housed a military camp, serving as the rear base for the Guangdong Nationalist Anti-Japanese Forces. To the west, it monitored the Yuehan Railway (now the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway). Together with Zhuxiannao Mountain to the north and Jiangjunnao Mountain to the south, this mountain lookout formed a trio of strongholds, creating a formidable barrier. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Guangdong Nationalist authorities chose this area as a secondary garrison stronghold.
