Meeting Point

South Gate of Baiyun Mountain

- Let's meet at the cable car ticket office at the South Gate of Baiyun Mountain. The South Gate is located near Yuntai Garden.

09:10 AM

Scenic cable car ascent

Ascend effortlessly aboard the scenic cable car. Enjoy a peaceful 15-minute ride gliding over the lush treetops, with panoramic views of Guangzhou unfolding before you.

09:40 AM

Shuttle to Moxing Ling summit

From the cable car station, we'll board a comfortable shuttle bus for a short ride up to the Moxing Ling area. This is the smart way to conserve our energy, allowing us to focus on exploring the breathtaking summit views instead of a strenuous uphill walk.

10:00 AM

Walk canopy trail & escalator to peak

We'll then embark on the most unique part of our journey. First, traverse the serene Canopy Trail, a plank walk nestled among the trees. Then, experience the novel mountain escalator that conveniently carries us the final stretch to the summit, where a breathtaking panoramic view awaits as your reward.

10:40 AM

Summit photos & free time

You'll have free time at the peak to fully appreciate the accomplishment. Take unforgettable photos from the best vantage points, or opt for a moment of relaxation at the summit shop with a beverage in hand, enjoying the scenery at your own pace.

11:00 AM

Your Descent, Your Choice!

The Adventurer (Hike & Shuttle): Embark on a scenic 1.8km downhill hike from Moxing Ling back to the Summit Plaza. It's a rewarding walk through the forest. From there, we'll take a shuttle bus back to the South Gate.

The Relaxer (All Shuttle): Opt for a completely effortless return. Take the shuttle directly from Moxing Ling to the Summit Plaza, then transfer to another shuttle for a comfortable ride all the way down to the South Gate.

The Thrill-Seeker (Zipline - Extra Cost): For an unforgettable adrenaline rush, choose the Baiyun Zipline! Soar down the mountain on one of China's longest ziplines, landing directly near the West Gate. (Note: This option concludes the tour at a different location).

12:00 PM

Head to the ending point

We'll end our tour at the mountain's foot, with your chosen adventure defining our final stop:

South Gate after a scenic hike or relaxing shuttle ride.

West Gate after an thrilling zipline descent.

Whichever you choose, I'll be happy to help you with directions or taxi options before we part ways.
