[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Niutou Mountain (Updated May)

This is called the "Mini Great Wall" of Guangzhou. It is the Niutou Mountain Mini Great Wall. It is located in Tianluhu Forest Park. It is a relatively niche and relaxing hiking route with zero difficulty. Follow the mountain road up. It takes 30 minutes to reach the city wall. Because of the 100-meter city wall at both ends of the mountain top, and the visual effect of the mountains in the distance, at first glance, it looks a little like the Great Wall. Continue along the ridge. Hike about 6 kilometers. You can go to the Flying Jungle Adventure in Tianluhu Park. 🌲 🧭 Navigate to: China Artists Village, Huangpu District 🅿️ Free parking at the entrance Travel tips 1️⃣ There are many pavilions, fitness facilities, self-service water vending machines, and toilets 🚻 along the way. 2️⃣ Bring food. 3️⃣ Remember to wear a pair of non-slip and comfortable sneakers 👟 for outdoor hiking.

Niutou Mountain is located near Huangbei Metro Station, Line 6(Guangzhou), about 10 minutes walk, along which we can get some water and food supply. It's my second favorite hiking trail in Guangzhou, as there is a steep and long ascend, feeling like dying while hiking, but once arriving the peak, it rewards you an open and overall view of the city. Walk another 400 M, there is a short Great Wall for stunning view of the mountains on the other side and spot for photography😊 After this Great Wall area, there are several trails to choose: 1. Jungle version: more thrilled and fun because of the super steep abscent, need to grab the old tree root to go down. If you're brave and strong enough, you can swing like monkey too😉 2. Short version: relatively short, but with lots up and downs, difficult to catch the breath. However, you're hiking in the shade, which is the best in Summer time while still can enjoy the different beautiful of the mountain. 3. Rock version: quite long and diverse landscape, the most impressive part is the rocks climb, which is about 20 m high. You really need to foresee which rock to step on and judge if it can lead you to the top otherwise, it would be really difficult to climb or you need to go back to try other rocks. After this, with 5 minutes walk, you will see another huge rock on the ridge, from there, we can see the dense jungle and enjoy some breeze of victory and conquest✌✌ #hiking#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
