Not in Xinjiang! In Guangdong!! Watch the sea of clouds in 3 hours!



There is a "wild windmill grassland" hidden in Guangdong! No need to ask for leave, no tickets required. A 3-hour drive will take you directly there. Easily climb the slope on the cement road. Herds of cattle and sheep, a sea of clouds, and camping under the stars are breathtakingly beautiful~ Follow me to unlock hidden ways to have fun in Guangdong!
Here, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of alpine meadows, the romance of the windmill sea, and the stunning sunrise, sea of clouds, and starry sky. Don't forget, there are also alpine hot springs waiting for you to enjoy and relax.

Address: Windmill Mountain, Taiping Town, Xinxing County, Yunfu City
Self-driving: Navigate to Xinxing Windmill Mountain, Yunfu City or Xinxing Manshi Farm
Transportation:
Self-driving: Navigate to "Xinxing Windmill Mountain", 3 hrs directly from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the mountain road is gentle and suitable for beginners
Bus: Xinxing County → Bus to the foot of the mountain (approx. 40 min), 15-minute walk to the mountain

Itinerary recommendation:
D1 Departure - Climb Xinxing Windmill Mountain - Campsite at the foot of the mountain - Play games in the evening - Camping/stay in a B&B
D2 After breakfast, go to Xiangwo Ecological Park (visit the tea garden, soak in the hot springs) - Return home in the afternoon

Route recommendation:
First stop: Line 3, you can overlook the entire scenic area, as if standing in the clouds, this is also the closest place to the windmill;
Second stop: Line 13, there is a large green grassland, where you can jump up and stand shoulder to shoulder with the blue sky;
Third stop: Line 14, is a windmill mountain pieced together with many stones. Taking pictures while standing on the stones is especially photogenic;
Here, I would like to focus on windmill No. 18 and windmill No. 32. No. 18 is the highest scenic spot of the windmill, and you can see more things. Windmill No. 32 has a unique blockhouse, which is worth a visit!

Accommodation: If you are driving, you can stay in Xinxing County. If you have enough travel funds, you can stay at Xiangwo Hotel (just at the foot of Windmill Mountain, where you can soak in hot springs for vacation)
