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.

Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the information you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, wonderful blog!
One more thing I would like to mention is that in place of trying to accommodate all your online degree lessons on days of the week that you finish work (since most people are worn out when they get home), try to have most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only 1 or 2 courses in weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your weekend. This is beneficial because on the week-ends, you will be a lot more rested in addition to concentrated upon school work. Thanks alot : ) for the different ideas I have acquired from your web site.
