Wugui Mountain is a mountain range in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. Dajian Mountain is the highest peak of Wugui Mountain in Zhongshan, about 350 meters. Along the way we hiked this time, we saw endless green mountains, flowing streams, and fragrant flowers all year round.

Crisp-fleshed grass carp, native to the Yangtze River Reservoir in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, is a designated geographical indication of Zhongshan City. This specialty aquatic product is raised using mineral water from the reservoir and a diet of broad beans, using a live-water intensive aquaculture method. It is named for its firm, refreshing, and crisp texture.
