Guangzhou Baiyun Shan

The hill is located in the north of Guangzhou City (Canton) and is one of popular places of interests. It has become the destination of climbers soon. The only crag on the hill is 40-60 meters wide and 20 meters high at 80 to 100 degree. It is less than one kilometer away from the northeast of Jiulong Quan (Nine-dragon Spring).

Access: Take Bus 24 in downtown to Yuntai Park, or a tour shuttle bus at weekend to Mingchun Gu. Walk along the highway on the hill and pass the Jiulong Quan till you come to the tennis court. The trip is about 1 hour on foot, but you can also rent a cab to the court. The crag is 20 minute walk (southeast direction, 50-60 meters) from the court. When getting to the crag's top, walk down a small path on your left side to the foot of the cliff.
