Escape the Summer Heat by Playing in the Water at Guangzhou's "Little Jiuzhaigou"

It's scorching hot and stuffy in the summer
Besides air-conditioned rooms, where else can you escape?
Why not invite a few friends to Guangzhou's "Little Jiuzhaigou"
Play in the water, hike and explore, breathe in the forest air

📍Baijianghu Forest Park, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City
🎫10¥
🈺09:00-17:00 (Last entry at 16:00)

Transportation:
🚗Public transport in the mountainous area is not well-developed, sincerely recommend driving. There are many free parking lots at the park entrance.
🚇Take Metro Line 21 to [Zengcheng Square Station] Exit F, then transfer to a bus to [Baijianghu Forest Park Station]. Personally, I find this quite troublesome and do not recommend it.

✅Scenic Spot Features
✔️Winding boardwalks ascend the mountain
✔️Magnificent waterfalls cascade down
✔️Crystal-clear pools like green emeralds
✔️Gentle, babbling streams suitable for playing
✔️Shaded by trees along the way, no fear of sunburn

✅Recommended Reasons
✔️Few people, beautiful scenery, many waterfalls, pools, and strange rocks, great for photos. If possible, definitely bring a drone.
✔️There are three routes suitable for different groups of people. The stone steps and boardwalks are not difficult. The whole journey is about 4km, easy and pleasant.
✔️Clean water for playing! There are designated shallow areas, sandy areas, water wheels, and pumping equipment for both adults and children to play.
