A trip to Guangzhou Huolu Mountain
It was China's National Day (1st Oct) yesterday, and the first day of a week-long holiday which is called the Ten-one Golden Week in mainland China. I had a wonderful trip to the Huolu Mountain with my YMCA friends.
As you may know, the most famous mountains in Guangzhou are the Baiyun Mountain & the Yuexiu Mountain, which lie in almost the center of the city, their green trees, fresh air, histories and the convenient traffic have attracted quite a lot of tourists. But, they are not as natural as were, and they are crowded with people in holidays.
Huolu Mountain is different, it was not invested until about 5 years ago, but at present it still keeps most of its original appearance, only have some roads paved. To get to the peak of the mountain, you can choose to walk on the small roads or to climb a slope over 45 degrees which is a little dangerous. On the peak of the mountain, there are several huge stones, climb onto the stone then you will be able to take a glance of the city.
Walk along the roads, besides trees, flowers and insects, you may also find some people gathering water from springs in the mountain. Yes, there are still springs in the mountain, in the city of Guangzhou.
