Report 🙋🏻♀️ Found a mountain in Shaoguan that doesn’t need to be climbed on a rainy day
I thought Shaoguan had nothing to do, but I didn't expect this attraction to have both the Guangdong version of the super-long QQ Speed and the world's highest elevator viewing waterfall.

✅Must-see attractions guide
❶Glass Bridge: 🌁The 316-meter-long glass bridge is suspended in the air, with cloud and fog effects on rainy days! When you walk to the middle, you can see the huge Chinese character "福" on the Hongfu Pan. On rainy days, the big red characters form a sharp contrast with the surrounding green hills. You can also directly face the waterfall elevator landscape, which has the momentum of "a waterfall falling three thousand feet". There are high-altitude activities nearby (high-altitude bicycles and step-by-step adventures)
❷Cloud Waterfall: 168 meters high waterfall viewing elevator, it takes only 30 seconds to get down to Cloud Valley (halfway up the mountain)
❸Longwangzhai: There is a huge waterfall with a small wooden house on it, which is a rich local Yao folk custom.
❹Cloud Speed: Guangdong's real-life version of QQ Speed, super long and super exciting, with multiple curve drifts, rushing to the foot of the mountain in one go!

🌟Tips for playing:
✔️Buying the above package is equivalent to not having to climb the mountain, the cable car 🚡 goes up the mountain, the waterfall elevator and QQ Speed go down the mountain, it is very labor-saving and suitable for family travel
✔️From the gate of the scenic area to the cableway (sightseeing car section), there are also ocean parks, water parks, parent-child ranches and other recreational projects
✔️In addition to the tourist attractions, this place is also a Yao village with unique ethnic minority characteristics
✔️There is also a famous local attraction 2km away: Yunmen Temple
