This mountain in Zhongshan is known as the "Thousand Island Lake"

Shizitou Mountain ⛰️ in Zhongshan is located in the northern part of the Wugui Mountain range. With an altitude of 305 meters, it gets its name from its lion-head-shaped peak. Overlooking the entire Changjiang Reservoir, it enjoys the reputation of being the Zhongshan version of "Thousand Island Lake." 📷Photo Spots - Mountaintop viewing platform: Overlooking the panoramic view of the Changjiang Reservoir, you can enjoy the beauty of the "Thousand Island Lake." It's an excellent spot for taking photos. - Natural scenery along the way: During the climb, you'll pass through forests, tea gardens, etc., where you can admire lush trees and beautiful flowers. 🚗Transportation Guide - Self-driving: Navigate to "Guangdong Tianzhili New Energy Technology Co., Ltd." There are free parking spaces on the roadside. - Public transportation: Get off at the "Guangyao Zhongshan Campus" station and walk 200-300 meters to reach the trailhead. Here is the hiking route for Shizitou Mountain in Zhongshan: 👣 Starting point: Navigate to "Zhongshan Shizitou Mountain Trail Entrance" This is the most common hiking entrance. There are construction sites as guides, and many other hikers, so don't worry about getting lost. 1️⃣ Cement steps section: The first third of the trail consists of cement steps, which are relatively gentle and suitable for warming up. 2️⃣ Forest dirt road: The last two-thirds of the trail is a forest dirt road. The road conditions are slightly worse, so pay attention to your footing. You will cross three small dirt slopes along the way, which is a bit challenging. Avoid hiking on rainy days, as the muddy mountain roads can be slippery. 3️⃣ Fork in the road: When you reach the first slope overlooking the Changjiang Reservoir, don't think you've reached the top! Continue forward, go down a small slope, and then up another slope to reach the real summit. 4️⃣ Destination: The summit offers a panoramic view of the Changjiang Reservoir. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, so remember to take photos. ⚠️Please note: The entire hike up Shizitou Mountain in Zhongshan is about 4 kilometers and #takes about an hour and a half. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and clothing and take sun protection measures. Bring drinking water, as there is only one supply station along the way, and it's very basic.
