Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain 1-Day Tour | Anti-Tourist Trap Guide

Still don't know where to go for fun? The off-the-beaten-path fairyland of Yunmen Mountain in Shaoguan, Guangdong, is a tested hit! Just back from Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain, I immediately put together this 1-day anti-tourist trap guide. It's fun and not exhausting, perfect for taking family or significant others ❣️: Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain Tourist Resort 📍: 893 Township Road, Rucheng Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province 🕙: 8:00-17:30 (Entry stops at 16:00) 🚗: Self-drive/Taxi 🗺️ Sightseeing Route: Scenic Area Main Gate—Xiangyun Ladder—Xiangyun Tower—Sky Realm (Xiuding Peak)—Cloud-top Waterfall—Glass Bridge—Scenic Elevator (down)—Yunshan Valley—Scenic Elevator (up)—Cable Car🚡 down the mountain Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area features the Xiuding Peak, historically one of the 'Eight Scenic Spots of Ruyuan' known as 'Xiuding's Marvelous Clouds'; a breathtaking waterfall described as 'a straight drop of three thousand feet'; thrilling and fun glass walkways, and various exciting high-altitude activities We took the high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station directly to Shaoguan Station, arriving in less than an hour, and took a rideshare directly to Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area. After entering the scenic area, we had a casual lunch and then took the cable car up the mountain We bought a 180-yuan package ticket, which included admission + round-trip cableway + glass bridge + round-trip elevator + ocean park and animal park. It's really a good deal, no need to climb mountains as the cableway takes you up and down, and there are few people in the scenic area, making it great for taking photos ⚠️ Tips for visiting: The scenic area has paid lockers, if you have a lot of luggage you can scan the code for self-service storage There is a commercial area in the scenic area with dining and accommodation. The houses on both sides of the commercial street are covered with green plants, and walking among them feels a bit like stepping into the Wizard of Oz, hhh the photos look great There are shuttle buses in the scenic area, 5 yuan/person, which take you to the cableway. If you don't want to walk, you can take it, no need to wait, just go. However, the distance is not far, and it's walkable, so there's no need to take it... The cable car fits two people per ride, very stable and not shaky. You can see another angle of Yunmen Mountain's beauty from the cable car. Just buy the package ticket and you don't need to buy a cable car ticket on the spot, just check the ticket and take the cable car There are high-altitude swings, high-altitude bicycles, and mountain slide cars in the scenic area, but they require an additional fee. The swing is 30 yuan/person, and the mountain slide car is 50 yuan/person, you can play by paying on the spot The scenic area is quite forested, so there are also a lot of mosquitoes. It's recommended to bring mosquito repellent, especially for families with children There are free photo-taking services in the scenic area, but the photography skills are average, and the free paper photos are quite blurry. If there are many people, there's no need to queue, but if there are few, you can take a photo for a souvenir The seal show at the Ocean Park is not bad, hhh if you bring kids, you can go to the Ocean Park to see the mermaid show and seal show
