Baiyun Mountain literal translation: White Cloud Mountain. Its name was derived from the GORGEOUS ‘sea of clouds’ as viewed from the summit.
This was a 100% tar road hike. Nothing wild. In fact, it was so chilled that I spotted some girls doing it on HEELS… yup, I have photo to proof that too. Anyhow, it was a nice ‘get away’ from the bustling Guangzhou city.
Before the ascend, there’s a plaza. It was TOTALLY happening. There were groups of people dancing, taichi and chess. Everything was happening.
Approaching the entrance, it look very organised… but in a touristy way. There’s actually a caddie AND cable car option with this hike. Yup, the municipality was superbly considerate. I hiked on foot though.
The nicest thing about this was that they added Chinese elements to it. The rest stops were armed with Chinese styled roof and benches, plus there’s resting stop every 700m or so? Perfect for a quick snack or drink.
Further more to my riveting hike, there was a McDonald half way up the mountain. This was just about the ‘healthiest’ hike yet. Okay, barring my food hike in Hong Kong LOL
All sort of oomph was added to the mountain, bringing a whole new dimension to ‘no expense spared.
No hunger strike up here. They sold egg tart further up into the mountain. At least was an Asian pastry. I was half expecting KFC by now.
Going up the summit. Er… for some odd and unknown reason, there’s a toll gate? Need to pay to go up. Seriously? Weirdness.
Pass the toll gate, there’s lucky tree, lucky bridge and a whole bunch luckiness.
Tadum! After all that ‘hike’, we’ve finally reached the entrance to the summit. Please pay attention to the lady in the green shorts. Yup, she did this WHOLE hike on her heels. Nope, she did NOT take the caddie. I saw her walking on my way up. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!
On the descend, I got way too lazy, so I took the cable car 😛
Where was I?

My brother treated me to this delight.. when it was 35 degrees celcius. That was in November. There’s certainly no winter happening there.

I’m extremely impressed with your writing abilities as neatly as with the layout for your weblog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself? Either way stay up the nice high quality writing, it is rare to look a nice blog like this one today..
Great post right here. One thing I’d like to say is that often most professional domains consider the Bachelor Degree just as the entry level standard for an online diploma. When Associate Certification are a great way to begin with, completing a person’s Bachelors opens many opportunities to various careers, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available through institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online types of their diplomas but generally for a drastically higher fee than the organizations that specialize in online higher education degree programs.
