Come to Yangtai Mountain and enjoy the early spring outings.
Early spring has arrived, the spring is bright, everything is recovering, it is the perfect time to go out for an outing. In this vibrant season, you may wish to invite a few friends to Yangtai Mountain for an outing to enjoy the flowers and feel the vigor of nature.
Yangtai Mountain Forest Park (formerly known as Yangtai Mountain) is located at the junction of Bao'an District, Longhua District, and Nanshan District in Shenzhen. It is divided into Dayangtai, Xiaoyangtai, and two mountains. Here we recommend Xiaoyangtai Mountain, which is located in Dalang, Longhua District.
The park has beautiful scenery and complete facilities. It is a scenic spot integrating natural landscape, outdoor sports, and parent-child entertainment. There is a "Victory Rescue" sculpture in the park square, which is a must-see check-in point for tourists. There are also artificial lakes, lawns, children's playgrounds, and smart fitness sports fields on the square, which are very suitable for bringing children to have picnics and play. Every weekend, the park is particularly lively, with crowds of people everywhere, and parents can be seen playing with their children everywhere. When they are tired of playing, they can also go to the library to read and rest.
Visitors who climb the mountain can choose to walk the Greenway or the hiking trail. You can ride a bicycle up the mountain on the Greenway. The hiking trail is all stairs and is relatively steep, so be sure to pay attention to safety when climbing. The dense woods and crisp birdsong along the way are refreshing. Remember to bring enough dry food and water, it takes about an hour to reach the top.
There are many charming landscapes on the mountain, and Yangtai Mountain Waterfall can be called one of the "best". Climbing from Laiwu Reservoir, along a small stream flowing down from the mountain, after walking for about one kilometer, you can hear the louder and louder sound of the stream, breaking the tranquility of the mountain. I saw a waterfall rushing down between two small peaks, about five or six meters wide, with dense water vapor and extraordinary momentum. The waterfall falls from a height of more than 10 meters, and gathers in a deep pool below, splashing silver waves. Walking along the stream formed by this waterfall, you can see many large and small waterfalls. The scenery along the way is very quiet and tranquil, with various wild plants growing in abundance, and it is very shady. In summer, many adults and children play in the water here.
Continue to move forward, passing Lanshengtai, Glass Bridge, Butterfly Valley... and finally reach the top of the mountain, where you can see a huge stone engraved with the four characters "Yangtai Diecui", which is also one of the eight scenic spots in Shenzhen. Standing here, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Longhua District. At this moment, you might as well put down your busy work, enjoy the rare spring light, and let your mind get a moment of peace and relaxation.
