【Cloud-Hidden Paradise · A Hiker's Poetry and Distant Horizon】

——Departing from Guangzhou, Unlock N Ways to Explore Wugong Mountain At 7 a.m., the high-speed train cuts through the morning mist of southern Jiangxi, and in just 3 hours, you’ll step into this hidden paradise praised by Xu Xiake as "Among the Five Ridges, none rivals Wugong Mountain." Setting off from Guangzhou, this spontaneous mountain escape offers surprises in every season: spring meadows unfurl like emerald carpets, summer clouds surge like rolling waves, autumn forests blaze with vibrant hues, and winter frost paints the landscape in silver. Hiking is the ultimate way to unlock Wugong Mountain. The 12-kilometer trail from Shenzi Village to Golden Summit weaves through stone steps and meadows—one moment you’re traversing bamboo groves, listening to the wind’s whisper, the next you’re ascending boardwalks to embrace the sea of clouds. Backpackers measure the 1,918-meter "Jiangnan Summit" with their footsteps, camping under the stars to witness dawn’s golden rays piercing the clouds, as if stepping into the fantastical world of *The Hobbit*. If hiking feels too strenuous, take the cable car straight to Golden Summit and gaze upon the endless "Grassland in the Sky." Ancient altars and Zen temples whisper tales of a millennium-old pilgrimage. Spend the night in a starlit cabin, where the Milky Way cascades like a waterfall, and the chorus of insects and mountain breezes lull you to sleep—a complete escape from urban clamor. Tips: Transport: Take a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station to Pingxiang North (2.5 hours), then transfer to a scenic shuttle bus. Best Seasons: April–May for rhododendron blooms, September–October for autumn foliage. Accommodation: Golden Summit tent hotels/starlit cabins (advance booking required). This "high-altitude fantasy escape" closest to Guangzhou awaits your footsteps to compose a personal ode to its landscapes.
