The Most Beautiful Tourist Road Around Nankun Mountain - Luofu Mountain | Guangdong's "318"

In June this year, Huizhou Culture and Tourism Bureau officially launched the most beautiful tourist road around Nankun Mountain - Luofu Mountain, spanning 218 kilometers, and dubbed "Guangdong's 318" by netizens.
This road is interestingly designed, like a giant "8", connecting the two famous mountains, Nankun Mountain and Luofu Mountain.

Nankun Mountain is an "oasis on the Tropic of Cancer," with extremely high forest coverage and hot springs for bathing;
Luofu Mountain is known as the "First Mountain of Lingnan," with a strong Taoist cultural atmosphere and numerous historical sites on the mountain.

The road is shaded by green trees all the way, and the air is filled with the scent of grass and pine needles, truly a natural oxygen bar. Driving on this road during a holiday, chasing the sun in the morning and watching the sunset paint the sky red in the evening, makes you feel completely refreshed and healed.

Must-See Sights Along the Way
