[2025 Huidong Attraction] Travel Guide for Danan Mountain (Updated Jun)

Huizhou is home to a mountain called Danao Mountain, often referred to as Guangdong's version of Little Wugong Mountain. In summer, the mountain is covered in lush green grass, while in autumn and winter, it transforms into a golden sea of reeds (similar to what we call silvergrass in Hong Kong). Danao Mountain is located in the area bordering Huidong and Haifeng. It gets its name from the nearby Nanshan Temple and Nanshan River. The mountain range consists of five connected peaks, with the highest being Shuidi Mountain, standing at 1,290 meters above sea level. Surrounded by picturesque scenery, with clouds drifting among the peaks, it's no wonder hiking enthusiasts are drawn to this place. 🙈 I visited Wugong Mountain in winter but missed the lush green grasslands; I went to Danao Mountain in summer but didn't see the golden reeds. Next time, I'll switch the seasons for these two hikes to truly satisfy my hiking desires. 😂 Danao Mountain ⛰️ offers several hiking routes, some requiring two days to complete. 1– Highlight Route: Longyan Temple—Golden Reed Fields—Marshland—Futou Rock Summit—Iron Tower—Dawang Temple (Approx. 5-6 hours) 2– Half Route: Longyan Temple—Longyan Temple Downhill Point—Grass Slope Summit—Shuidi Mountain—Golden Reed Fields—Marshland—Futou Rock Summit—Iron Tower—Dawang Temple 3– Full Circuit: Yuantan Village—Creek and Big Tree—Niupizhang Turn—Explosive Rock Summit—Longyan Temple Downhill Point—Grass Slope Summit—Shuidi Mountain—Golden Reed Fields—Marshland (Camping Site)—Futou Rock Summit—Iron Tower—Dawang Temple (Recommended to prepare for 2+ days) For those unfamiliar with the routes, it's advisable to join a group tour led by local guides. Not only is it safer, but it also eliminates transportation worries. (During the hike, you may encounter many fellow hikers, some even climbing at night to catch the sunrise before descending. Truly admirable! 👍🏻) If you're interested in joining a one-day tour, there are many mini-programs available. Depending on your departure location, you can search for suitable programs nearby. 🙈 ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Safety first, hike within your limits. ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Prepare sufficient water and snacks for emergencies. ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Wear comfortable hiking shoes (preferably non-slip), and bring lightweight spare clothes and a jacket (for wind and sun protection). ⛰️⛰️⛰️ In summer, be mindful of sun protection and heatstroke 🥵. Consider carrying a small water spray bottle and a mini fan for cooling down when needed. ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Bring lightweight rain gear, a headlamp/flashlight for emergencies. ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Take your trash with you—it's the least respect we can show to nature. 😊 Transportation: 🚗 Self-driving is recommended. Navigate directly to Huizhou Dawang Temple, where parking is available for about 10 RMB. From there, you can take a motorcycle ride (approx. 10 minutes) to Longyan Temple. If you're unfamiliar with the area, joining a one-day tour is highly recommended. 🚌 Tour Bus: You can join a one-day tour departing from nearby cities. The tour bus will take you to and from the hiking points, making it convenient and safe.

Known as the "Little Wugong Mountain of Guangdong," Mount Danan in Huizhou attracts countless outdoor enthusiasts with its magnificent alpine meadows, continuous golden reed marshes, and precipitous ridgelines. It is not only a training ground for hikers in the Pearl River Delta but also a paradise for photographers. Here's a detailed travel guide to help you plan an unforgettable hiking trip to Mount Danan. I. Overview of Mount Danan Mount Danan in Huizhou is located at the junction of Zengguang Town, Huidong County, and Haifeng County. Its main peaks include Futooshiding (1105m) and Shuitishan (1290m). The mountain range stretches endlessly, with over 70% of it covered by meadows. Lush green in spring and summer, it transforms into a golden sea of reeds in autumn and winter, and has been featured in *China National Geographic* many times as a filming location. II. Best Time to Visit Autumn and winter (October to February): The temperature is pleasant, the meadows turn golden, there are fewer clouds, and visibility is high, making it suitable for long-distance hiking. Spring and summer (March to June): The grass is green and the mountain flowers are in full bloom, but be aware of slippery roads during the rainy season and the presence of mosquitoes. III. Recommended Hiking Routes 1. Essence Section (Classic Route) Route: Dawang Temple → Futooshiding → Swamp → Mountain Pass → Longyan Temple Distance and time: Approx. 14 km, 7–8 hrs, suitable for beginner to intermediate hikers.

IV. Transportation Guide Self-driving: From Guangzhou/Shenzhen, navigate to "Huidong Dawang Temple" or "Nanshan Village," approx. 3–3.5 hrs drive. Some sections of the mountain roads are unpaved; SUVs are recommended. Group tour: Outdoor groups in Shenzhen and Guangzhou (such as "Qunju Outdoor" and "Pengcheng Outdoor") often organize day trips for about CNY 100/person, including round-trip transportation and guide service. V. Equipment and Supplies Essential items: Non-slip hiking shoes, quick-drying clothing, hiking poles, sun hat, 2L or more of drinking water, high-calorie snacks (energy bars, chocolate, etc.), and a power bank (weak signal in the mountains).

As a travel expert often called the "Grassland Maniac" by Guangdong hikers, Dananshan Mountain is definitely a hidden gem that I consider both "painful and beautiful"! It doesn't have the crowds of Wugong Mountain, but it does have the same golden grasslands, sea of clouds, and the wild charm of "windswept grasslands revealing grazing cattle and sheep" (although the cows are fake, the wind is strong enough to blow off a wig!). Today, I'm sharing my exclusive guide to teach you how to hike elegantly on "Guangdong's Mini-Wugong," avoiding 99% of the newbie pitfalls! --- 📸 Must-See Spots & Hidden Gems 1️⃣ **Axe Stone: Cloudtop Grassland Dance Party** The main peak at 1115 meters above sea level, with grasslands stretching like a golden carpet, makes for a perfect Windows desktop wallpaper! The wind at the top is strong enough to create a "windblown mess" masterpiece, so it's recommended to secure your hat and prevent your selfie stick from turning into a boomerang. 2️⃣ **Lahu Canyon: Gecko-Style Rock Climbing Experience** Vertical cliffs + wild vine trails, climb like Tarzan using both hands and feet! Hiking boots with good grip are recommended (sneakerheads, please step aside). Keep your backpack close to your back, or the sound of your water bottle rolling down will become your "despair soundtrack." 3️⃣ **Shuidi Mountain: Pretend You're in Switzerland** The hidden boss at 1273 meters above sea level, where grasslands and the sea of clouds intertwine. At sunrise, golden light pierces through the mist, creating a special effect straight out of a fantasy drama! But the descent is so slippery it'll make you question your life choices. Trekking poles are recommended, otherwise, "butt-sliding" will become your embarrassing claim to fame. 4️⃣ **Dawang Temple - Longyan Temple: Classic Route Hike** A beginner-friendly route, covering the best parts of the alpine grasslands in 5 hours! The reeds along the way sway in the wind, resembling the "Ganlu Temple" scene from Empresses in the Palace. Remember to bring enough water, as there isn't even a vending machine in sight. --- 🚗 **Transportation & Group Formation Tips** - **Drivers**: Navigate to "Dawang Temple" or "Longyan Temple Banyan Tree." SUVs are preferred (don't blame me if your regular car's chassis sparks). - **Tour Groups**: In Shenzhen, "Qunju Outdoor" and "Baozoucun" are recommended. For around a hundred yuan, you get transportation + a guide, reducing the risk of getting lost by 99%! Don't attempt a solo hike; the signs in the mountains are more unreliable than a boyfriend's promises. - **Pitfall Alert**: The end and start points may be 10 km apart. Arrange a shuttle with the small shop at the foot of the mountain in advance (save the number; the signal in the mountains is more unreliable than a bad boy). --- 🎒 **Survival Gear Guide** - **Shoes & Clothing**: 🔹 Choose hiking boots with good grip, one size larger than usual! Swollen feet will thank you. 🔹 Quick-drying clothes + windproof jacket. The temperature difference at the summit is drastic, like experiencing instant winter. A down liner is a secret weapon. - **Backpack**: 🔹 2L of water + energy bars (don't bring self-heating hot pot; the wind at the top will prevent you from lighting it). 🔹 First-aid kit is a must! Band-aids for blisters, iodine swabs for scratches. - **Photography Gear**: 🔹 Action camera on your chest, freeing your hands for climbing. 🔹 Bright-colored hiking jacket, stand out in the grasslands! --- ⚠️ **Hard-Learned Lessons** 1️⃣ **Difficulty Warning**: Don't trust the "leisure hike" label! The classic route has a 1000m+ elevation gain, and the wild trails are steep enough to make you consider knee insurance. 2️⃣ **Group Formation Wisdom**: Hike with at least one other person, and one of you should have "wilderness survival" skills. Otherwise, your only hope when lost is to yodel for help. 3️⃣ **Toilet Etiquette**: Toilets on the mountain? Don't even dream of it! Master the "tactical bush search" and bring garbage bags (maintain your civilized image). 4️⃣ **Weather Gamble**: Avoid rainy days! The muddy trails turn into human slides, and the wind at the top offers a "free blow-dryer" service (but might give you a face cramp). --- 🍗 **Post-Hike Sustenance** - **Clay Oven Chicken Champion**: "Grandma's Clay Oven Chicken" at the foot of the mountain. The meat is so tender it falls off the bone, wrapped in foil with overflowing juices. Instant revival after eating! - **Mountain & Stream Tofu Pudding**: Cold, smooth, and served with brown sugar and ginger juice. A bowl of this heals the "soul-leaving" experience of the hike. - **Avoid**: Be wary of "wild mushroom hot pot" in the scenic area, unless you want to experience the magical night of "hallucinating dancing little people." --- 📅 **Ultimate Itinerary Suggestion** **DAY 1**: - 7:00 Depart from Shenzhen → 9:30 Start hiking at Dawang Temple - 12:00 Picnic on the Axe Stone grassland (pack out your trash!) - 15:00 Summit Shuidi Mountain, capture a time-lapse of the sea of clouds - 18:00 Descend, devour clay oven chicken, collapse at the homestay **DAY 2**: - Sleep in until noon, head to Xunliao Bay to recharge! After "leg day," you deserve a beach view and seafood therapy. --- **Final Word of Advice**: The beauty of Dananshan Mountain is 50% physical strength, 50% filters, but 100% worth bragging about! Tag your hiking buddies; let this golden grassland be your first "painfully enjoyable" adventure of 2025! 🌾💨

#Greater Bay Area must-visit check-in spots In 2023, I visited Da Nan Mountain in Huizhou, a mountain area that combines natural beauty and rich cultural history. This trip made me deeply feel the magnificence of nature and the tranquility of the mountains. Da Nan Mountain is high, with undulating mountains and lush trees. It is an ideal place for hiking🌲⛰️. Standing on the top of the mountain, I can overlook the undulating mountains and the forests blocking the sun, making me feel as if I were in a three-dimensional landscape painting. The ancient trails, temples and cultural relics in the mountains reveal a long history, making people feel as if they are traveling back in time. In 2024, with an unforgettable memory of the magnificent scenery of Da Nanshan, I made a new travel wish. I hope to climb this mountain again and feel the tranquility and historical imprint of the mountain🚶♂️🏞️. This is my beautiful expectation for future travels. I look forward to discovering more wonderful nature and culture in Da Nanshan.

The greatness of Huizhou's Da Nan Mountain is too much, it has a taste of autumn. Watching the reeds swaying all over the mountain from the top, chasing the afterglow of an orange sunset, it's really romantic!
