Guangzhou Dafu Mountain Hiking & Food Tour

Arrive at the main entrance of Dafu Mountain Forest Park. There are ample parking spaces available. Rent bicycles (single or multi-person) from the rental station near the entrance.

Begin a leisurely ride around Juxiu Lake. Enjoy the calm lake reflecting the surrounding hills and lush greenery. The paved paths are suitable for a relaxed morning ride to breathe fresh air and enjoy the tranquil scenery.

Ride to the Hundred Flowers Garden, filled with seasonal flowers and well-manicured landscapes. It is an ideal spot for photography and walking. If visiting in the right season, you may appreciate the vibrant colors of bald cypress trees.

Find a shady spot on the lawn near the lake for a picnic. Bring snacks, fruits, and drinks, or buy something quick from vendors near the entrance. This is a good time to relax, let children play, or simply enjoy nature. You can also visit the Twelve Zodiacs Forest, an area with animal-shaped hedges popular with children.

If traveling with family, the playground near the North Gate is a great diversion. Alternatively, try fishing in designated areas or take a quiet walk along the forest trails.

Return to the South Gate area to explore local restaurants. The area is known for authentic Cantonese cuisine, especially clay pot chicken and traditional barbecue. Enjoy a hearty meal to replenish energy after a day of outdoor activities.

Before leaving, take a final stroll through the park's main attractions or browse small souvenir shops selling local handicrafts. Depart from the South Gate; you can stop at nearby markets or return to the city center.
