Guangdong's "Little Altay": 3-hour direct access to alpine meadows to see a sea of clouds!

Good news for friends in Guangdong! In just three hours, you can reach the alpine meadows of "Little Altay", where every casual shot is a masterpiece! Xinxing Windmill Mountain, this place is simply Guangdong's "secret cloud base"—it's free and great for photos, and I've got the full guide for you—

Full name of attraction: Yunfu Xinxing Windmill Mountain

Here's the highlight: This is no ordinary mountain! A 3.5-kilometer concrete road leads directly to the summit. On the vast meadows, 46 giant windmills spin continuously, herds of cattle leisurely graze in the grass, and when the sea of clouds arrives, it feels like you're standing above your ankles. Perfect for weekend family outings, romantic dates, or camping with friends! It's also free admission, what a great deal!

How to get there? Here's the nanny-level guide~

For drivers: Navigate directly to "Xinxing Windmill Mountain". From Guangzhou or Shenzhen, it's a three-hour drive to the foot of the mountain. The mountain road is gentle, and sedans can go up (but there's a short section of gravel road in the last 1 km, please drive carefully). There's a free parking lot at the summit that can accommodate over twenty cars; it's recommended to arrive early (before 9 AM on weekends to secure a spot).

For public transport users: First, go to Xinxing County, then take a bus to Taiping Town, and then take a motorcycle taxi up the mountain (it's recommended to take a regular taxi directly, as the mountain road is exposed to the sun).

Admission: Free! Even parking is free, the value for money is incredible.

Best itinerary, experience Switzerland in three hours!

Itinerary for 8 AM - 11 AM:

1. Don't rush to the top when driving up the mountain! There are observation decks every 500 meters where you can take photos of "road + windmills" in the same frame. Stand in the middle of the road and look back at the camera; with the windmills and meadows stretching into the distance behind you, it's like stepping into a movie scene.
2. Once at the summit, find the "highest windmill". This spot offers the widest view, where you can see continuous meadows and distant mountain peaks. Those with kids can fly kites and chase cattle; couples can lay out a picnic blanket, drink coffee, and watch the windmills turn, creating a perfect ambiance.
3. When the sea of clouds arrives, wait on the "southeast slope" to capture the mist as it rolls in. The misty mountain top is incredibly ethereal.

Great photo spots!

Get ready with various photography techniques: low-angle shots of windmill bases, candid shots interacting with cattle, and essential night camping shots... your phone will capture amazing photos effortlessly!

Important notes:

Sun protection and wind protection are essential: Remember to apply sunscreen, wear a fisherman's hat, sunglasses, and a long-sleeved shirt.

Sudden weather changes warning: Remember to bring a raincoat for both rain protection and photos.

In short, Xinxing Windmill Mountain will definitely rejuvenate you! It's free, uncrowded, beautiful, and you can even camp and stargaze—a million times better than visiting crowded internet-famous spots. It's recommended to invite friends for a weekend trip and lie on the mountaintop all day watching the clouds drift by. Finally, a reminder: do not mistakenly navigate to "Windmill Mountain Forest Park"; you need to drive another 2 kilometers to see the mountaintop meadows~

Important notes and food guide: These are the questions you care about. The local food guide includes farm restaurants at the foot of the mountain and recommended eateries in Xinxing County, where you can eat your fill for an average of 60 yuan per person! The local loquat honey iced slush is also highly recommended! In short, Xinxing Windmill Mountain will definitely rejuvenate you! Feast until you're stuffed after coming down the mountain! Come and enjoy the delicious food at Xinxing Windmill Mountain!
