Day 1 Guangzhou → Bainiben (Renhua County, Shaoguan City) → Bazhai → Guangzhou
07:00
Meet and sign in at Exit B of Ke Village
07:30
We gathered and set off. The tour leader introduced the itinerary and precautions on the bus. The tourists got to know each other and sang and laughed all the way to Shaoguan.
11:30
Arriving at the starting point, the team leader will lead a warm-up exercise before starting today's hike. We'll enter the hiking trail, which is undeveloped and a primitive path for hikers. Along the way, we'll need to climb slopes and walk through bushes. Please be sure to wear long-sleeved clothes (or sleeves), a sun hat, and gloves. Trekking poles and knee pads are recommended.
12:30
After lunch at the reservoir, we will take a short break and then pass through mountain paths, streams, dense forests, etc., and appreciate the typical karst topography along the way. We will climb over a 15-meter-high steep cliff and arrive at the ruins of the mountain stronghold located halfway up the mountain. The only way to get to the mountain is a 15-meter-high hanging wooden passage carved by bandits on the steep cliff, which can accommodate one person. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
2:30 PM
Part of the way to Bazhai is a single, 80-degree, hand-carved stone staircase. A natural spring flows from a crack in the rocks at the main peak. Passing through a narrow passageway, you'll reach the summit viewing point (those not climbing the summit can wait at the fork in the road). The mountain scenery of Bazhai is breathtaking, like a fairyland on earth. Adjacent to Bazhai, Teapot Peak seems to have brewed a pot of premium alpine cloud tea, leisurely awaiting its arrival. It evokes a sense of transcendence and detachment, as if drinking with an immortal and observing the myriad phenomena of the world.
3:30 PM
Arrive at Bazhai Fairy Scattering Flowers, take photos, and prepare to go down the mountain (it is not recommended to climb to the top, as there are trees all around and you can't see the scenery. You can go down the mountain at the Fairy Scattering Flowers)
5:15 PM
Arrive at the entrance of Bazhai Scenic Area around 17:15. There are also some snack shops and farmhouses here (friends who need to eat should calculate the time in advance and can order a meal or fried rice and fried noodles). It is a good time to gather on the bus for the return trip and share beautiful photos together.
9:30 PM
Back to Guangzhou Kecun, we kissed goodbye with tears and promised to see each other again next time in the tourist world~
