    Danxia Mountain, a famous World Natural Heritage Site, attracts countless tourists with its strange Danxia landform and magnificent landscape. The mountains here are rolling and rolling, the peaks are stacked, the mountains are shaded by trees, and the scenery is varied in all seasons. Danxia Mountain is not only a masterpiece of nature, but also a great place for people to explore nature and feel the beauty of nature.

    Yunmen Mountain is a place worth visiting when you come to Shaoguan, and it is also a place to break your courage. You must walk on the glass bridge when you come. Every step you take is terrifying. After walking on the glass bridge, you have a feeling of death and rebirth

    Hat Peak Tourist Scenic Area is really a fairy place! You can see the beautiful scenery without running far away, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful like paintings, and the air is fresh enough to fill and sell money! Come here in summer to escape the heat, the shade of the tree is cool like a natural air conditioner, the mountains are full of golden ginkgo leaves in winter, and a shot is a blockbuster in the circle of friends! The mountain road here is very comfortable, and the elderly and children can easily stroll around. The food of the farmhouse is fragrant and the tongue is dropped, the local chicken river is fresh and fresh, and the price is real. The most amazing is the starry sky homestay. You can count the stars in bed at night, which is romantic! The staff is also enthusiastic, and someone will guide you at any time if you get lost. It's an hour's drive from the city, and it's just a weekend away. The price of the ticket is conscience, and it is not heavy for a whole day, which is much more comfortable than the crowded Internet celebrity attractions! The scenery in the four seasons takes turns to change the skin, the wild flowers are everywhere in spring, and the forests are stained in autumn. I don’t want to go at all~

    The Meiguan Ancient Road was first constructed during the Qin Dynasty, with Hengpu Pass being the earliest pass, forming the initial link between the Central Plains and Lingnan. During the Han Dynasty, General Yu Sheng built a fort and stationed a garrison there, earning it the name "Dayuling," becoming a military stronghold. In 716, the fourth year of the Kaiyuan Period in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiuling, under imperial order, rebuilt the ancient road. The project, completed in two years, features a 2-4 meter wide paved road paved with bluestone and cobblestones, becoming a core transportation artery in the Nanling Mountains. During the Song Dynasty, brothers Cai Ting and Cai Kang reinforced the road with bricks and stone, and built the Meiguan Gate Tower, earning it the geographical designation of "Southern Guangdong's Great Pass" and "Lingnan's First Pass." Modern Transformation: After the opening of the Yue-Han Railway, the ancient road gradually declined, but the remaining intact sections remain as historical relics.

    There are surprises in Xianmenqi Gorge. The 319-day ladder is very exciting. I dare not challenge it step by step. The elderly and children can take bamboo rafts. The canyon waterfall and stack spring are worth punching!
