Distant mountains and clear skies like a picturesque scene

【Luoding Shishan Peak Forest】Step into an ink painting! The Karst wonder of Guangdong's Little Guilin🏞️

Who says Guangdong has no hidden mountain and water wonders? This stone peak forest in Pingtang Town, Luoding, looks like it was cut straight out of an ink painting! The continuous karst landscape paired with lush green tea gardens makes every shot cover-worthy for National Geographic📸

📍Address: 826 Xiangdao, Luoding City, Yunfu
🚗 Travel tips: Recommended to drive or charter a car, about 40 minutes from Luoding city center

🔥Must-do routes:
1️⃣ Shishan Viewing Platform
Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the entire peak forest, especially beautiful in the early morning when mist lingers! Remember to wear non-slip shoes, the steps are a bit steep but totally worth it~

2️⃣ Tea Garden Hiking Trail
Walk through layers of tea fields, smelling the tea fragrance while finding the best photo spots! The contrast between the verdant tea gardens and gray-white rocky mountains is stunning

📸Photo hotspots:
✔️ Reflection Pool: On sunny days, it can capture the entire peak forest in the water
✔️ Wangfu Rock: Naturally formed rock shaped like a figure, paired with the sunset for a very storytelling vibe

🍜Delicious eats at the foot of the mountain:
▪️ Firewood Farm Chicken: Free-range chicken cooked with mountain spring water, meat firm and bouncy
▪️ Tea Oil Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetables: Local tea oil is intoxicatingly fragrant, must order sweet potato leaves
▪️ Stone-milled Tofu Pudding: Made with spring water from the peak forest, smoother than pudding

⚠️Avoid pitfalls:
• Best lighting for photos is after 3 PM
• Bring enough drinking water! Few supply points on the mountain
• Drones require prior approval (the area is on the edge of a no-fly zone)
