"Only by climbing the mountain ourselves can we truly appreciate the breathtaking view from the top." Today is the Double Ninth Festival, those planning to enjoy the autumn scenery by hiking in Foshan should not miss this travel guide!


Xiqiao Mountain


As one of the four famous mountains in Guangdong, Xiqiao Mountain has always been a popular destination for Foshan people to hike and enjoy the outdoors. What's more, the entrance to the park is currently free! The southern trail of Xiqiao Mountain offers the best views, featuring seas of flowers, lush greenery, and geological wonders.



Jiulong Rock is a breathtaking destination that feels like a natural oxygen bar. Here, ancient vines intertwine with uniquely shaped trees, creating a rich tapestry of greenery. With layers of lush foliage, dappled light playing on the stones, and soft moss underfoot, it feels like stepping into a lush primeval forest.


At Jiguan Peak, you can overlook the mulberry fish pond, where thousands of acres of interconnected water networks stretch out. If you find yourself here at dusk, witnessing the sunset, you'll surely feel that it's worth the trip!

Wangjiegang Forest Park


Wangjiegang Forest Park is located 8 kilometers away from the Northwest of Foshan. It lies in the west of the Dongping River and the north of Fen River. When you reach the peak, you can take a bird's eye view of the city.



As a circular mountain covering an area of 0.14 square kilometers, its history can be traced back to the volcanic lake of about 11,000 square meters 52 million years ago. Tourists can stand on the viewing platform to view the ancient volcanic site closely. The top of the hill is the highest point in Chancheng District.



Thousands of years ago, this was a volcanic landscape, but today it has transformed into a beautiful piece of land. Residents can jog and cycle here, fully experiencing the beauty of nature. Amidst the lush greenery, they can indulge in "forest bathing" and enjoy the rare abundance of negative ions in the urban environment.


Nanhai Bay Forest Park


Nanhai Bay Forest Park is a National 4A-level tourist attraction, with the content of negative ions in the air up to 63,600 units/m³, which is a natural cleaner of the air.



There are nearly one thousand waterfalls in the park. When walking in the park, it's quite cool and refreshing.

Huagai Mountain Plank Path


In the downtown of Daliang, Shunde, there is a "green holy land" hidden in the pedestrian street. It is the plank path about 1600 meters long surrounding the mountain.



The trees on both sides are in lush green, making people relaxed and happy. The sunshine penetrates through the leaves, depicting a poetic picture in this spring.

Gaoming Yunong Forest Park


Yunong Forest Park is the largest forest farm in Foshan and the only state-owned forest farm in the city. It serves as a national forest experience base and is recognized as one of the most beautiful forests in China.



Within this expansive "natural oxygen bar" spanning over 20,00 hectares, you’ll find the highest village in Foshan, Changshou Village. With the mountain breeze rustling through the trees, it feels like a sea of greenery. If you enjoy "forest breathing," be sure to check this place out!

In this season, Nandan Mountain Forest Park is filled with the vitality of spring. With streams distributed all over the Mountain, the rich negative ions make it a natural big oxygen bar.



After the spring rain, a magnificent picture of nature is presented in front of us. Clouds and mist in the mountains will make you feel like stepping into a fairy wonderland.
