The most worthwhile country park in Guangzhou, the scenery is comparable to the West Lake in Hangzhou, and tourists from outside are relatively rare

Many tourists who travel to Guangzhou like to go to Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Although this scenic spot is not high in altitude, it was rated as a national 5A scenic spot a long time ago. The locals call it the "Green Lung of Guangzhou" , because the forest coverage here is high and the negative ion content is very rich, many people living in Guangzhou like to come here for walking, climbing and enjoying the scenery.

You need to buy a ticket to enter the main scenic area of ??Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area, but the ticket price is 5 yuan, which is quite user-friendly.

Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area consists of several scenic spots. My personal favorite is Luhu Park at the foot of the mountain. It is one of the most beautiful country parks in Guangzhou. Tourists from outside are relatively rare, but some of the scenery here But it can be compared with Hangzhou West Lake.

The core landscape of Luhu Park is the rippling blue Luhu Lake. This lake does not exist in ancient times, but was excavated in 1958 through voluntary labor of citizens. In a similar period of time, many artificial lakes were dug in Guangzhou. Liwan Lake Park and Liuhua Lake Park, which are familiar to local people, were all artificially created.

Among the artificial lakes in Guangzhou, Luhu Lake is the larger one. Its lake area is 20 hectares. Green roads, plank roads, traditional restaurants, Jufang Garden and Xinghai have been built around the lake. Gardens and other gardens within gardens.

Luhu Park is a free park that has the characteristics of a subtropical country park and incorporates traditional Chinese garden art. This includes the winding paths across the lake, the Chinese-style pavilions by the lake, and the Baiyun Fairy Pavilion. It can be felt.

The so-called "autumn color" is actually the effect of the leaves of redwood trees changing from green to purple under the influence of cold weather.

In addition to the beautiful redwoods, when visiting Luhu Park in spring, you can also see yellow-flowered campanula, azaleas, hibiscus, redbuds and other flowers. The best thing to see is the sea of ??redbud flowers in late spring every year. At this time, Luhu Park transforms into a pink paradise, romantic, beautiful and fresh, comparable to Wuhan University, Kyoto, Nara and other places with blooming cherry blossoms.

Bougainvillea is a flower that can be seen in most seasons. It is dotted in every corner of Luhu Park. It is bright and flamboyant, especially when set against the Chinese pavilion, the visual effect is best.

Honghu Tower is located in Dahonghu Mountain next to Luhu Lake. Although its shape is different from Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou West Lake, standing on the other side of the mountain and admiring the lake and mountains is very similar to standing on the embankment of Hangzhou West Lake and looking at the West Lake and the Leifeng Pagoda.

The Honghu Tower is known as the "first floor of Zhushui Yunshan. It is not a historical monument, but a building that was completed in 1987. Its height is the highest among Guangdong garden buildings. Climb the Honghu Tower. You can overlook the beautiful scenery of Luhu Park and some urban buildings in Guangzhou City.
