Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain 1-Day Tour | Anti-tourist trap guide acquired
May Day is coming, and you still don't know where to go for fun? The off-the-beaten-path fairyland spot of Yunmen Mountain in Shaoguan, Guangdong is definitely worth the rush! Just got back from Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain, and I immediately put together this 1-day anti-tourist trap guide. It's fun and not tiring, perfect for taking family or significant others.
❣️ : Shaoguan Yunmen Mountain Tourist Resort
📍 : 893 Township Road, Rucheng Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province

🗺️ Sightseeing route: Scenic area main gate—Xiangyun Stairs—Xiangyun Tower—Sky Realm (Xiuding Peak)—Cloud-top Waterfall—Glass Bridge—Scenic Elevator (down)—Yunshan Valley—Scenic Elevator (up)—Cable car🚡 down the mountain
Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area has the Xiuding Peak, known as one of the 'Eight Scenic Spots of Ruyuan'—Xiuding's Strange Clouds; it has a stunning waterfall described as 'a straight drop of three thousand feet'; there's an exciting glass walkway, and various thrilling high-altitude amusement projects.
We took a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station directly to Shaoguan Station, which took less than an hour, then booked a ride-share directly to Yunmen Mountain Scenic Area. After entering the scenic area, we had a casual lunch and then took the cable car up the mountain.
We bought a 180-yuan package ticket, which included admission + round-trip cableway + glass bridge + round-trip elevator + ocean park and animal park. It's really cost-effective, no need to climb mountains as the cableway takes you up and down, and there are few people in the scenic area, making it great for taking photos.
⚠️ Travel tip:
The scenic area has paid lockers, if you have a lot of luggage you can scan the code for self-service storage.
There is a commercial area in the scenic area with dining and accommodation. The houses on both sides of the commercial street are covered with green plants, and walking through it feels a bit like entering the magical world of Oz, great for taking photos.
There are shuttle buses in the scenic area, 5 yuan/person, which take you to the cableway. If you don't want to walk, you can take it, no need to wait, just go. However, the distance is not far, and it's reachable on foot, so there's no need to take it...
The cable car fits two people per ride, very stable and not shaky. You can see another angle of Yunmen Mountain's beauty from the cable car. Just buy the package ticket and you don't need to buy a cable car ticket on-site, just check the ticket and take the cable car.
There are high-altitude swings, high-altitude pedal bikes, mountain trail go-karts, and other amusement projects in the scenic area, but they require additional payment. The swing costs 30 yuan/person, and the mountain trail go-kart costs 50 yuan/person, you can play by paying on-site.
The scenic area is quite lush with trees, so there are also quite a few mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring a bottle of mosquito repellent, especially for families with children.
There are free photo-taking projects in the scenic area, but the photography skills are average, and the free paper photos are quite blurry. If there are many people, there's no need to queue, but if there are few, you might as well take a photo for a souvenir.
The seal show at the Ocean Park is not bad, and if you have kids, you can go to the Ocean Park to see the mermaid show and seal show.
The children are very happy to play, the natural oxygen bar, very fun, not many people, the ticket price can be recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will definitely come back to play if I have a chance.

The waterfall generated by the above reservoir is very spectacular from a distance. The glass bridge and elevator are interesting and worth a visit. There are not many people in April, and the elevator can be taken up and down. I went by the cable car, and then walked down the mountain and had an exercise effect.
Pet-friendly scenic spots are well received, the zoo animals are as free as possible, very energetic, the aquarium is beautiful, the waterfall elevator is novel, the glass bridge has no highlights, the cable car has staff to help take pictures, the price is reasonable, and I played for more than 4 hours. Not bad!
March Yunmen Mountain Spring ⛰️ The climate is pleasant, and there are not many people in the Women's Day scenic spot today (Friday, March 8). The gentle wind on the mountain is as gentle as the spring breeze. Sitting on the ropeway, stepping on the glass bridge, and sitting on the elevator 🛗 The beautiful scenery in front of you makes you feel the beauty of Yunmen Mountain Spring!
The scenery of the scenic spot is very beautiful, there are many entertainment projects, can meet the activities of adults and children, the facilities are also better, it is worth everyone to play, there is no scenery, the negative ions are higher, it is good for human health!
