Jinji Ridge is located in Pingshi Town, known as the first town in Lingnan, at the northern gate of Guangdong, 103 km from Shaoguan City, and under the jurisdiction of Lechang City. It is named after a huge rock on the northwest peak of the ridge that resembles a rooster, looking north with its head held high, as if it is about to crow. It is one of the eight major scenic spots in Guangdong Province. From the gate of Jinji Ridge on the central street of Pingshi Town, you can see the towering Yizi Peak with its red cliffs. Yizi Peak is more than 350 meters long and 3–6 meters wide, like a huge screen. It looks like a wall from the front, a peak from the side, and a dragon from above. The lake at the foot of the mountain is very beautiful, clear, and clean. Standing on the bridge and looking down, you can see fishing enthusiasts on the opposite side and two men swimming in the lake. After crossing the bridge, you will see the stone steps in the first picture. The red wooden fence is also a great place to take photos. This tree has already turned from green to autumn colors. On the way up the mountain, I met a cute dog named Jesse. Its owner said it often climbs the mountain. The view from the top is great, and the air is very fresh. Choose a sunny day to climb the mountain!

1️⃣Wushan Terraces in Lechang, Shaoguan The mountain road is winding and surrounded by mountains (drive carefully 🚗). It feels like you are climbing over mountains and heading into the mountains until you enter the center of the terraced fields. You will see golden rice grains everywhere and the air is filled with the fragrance of rice. It is pristine and pollution-free. It is said that the rice fields are divided into two parts. One is the natural farming by Uncle 👨‍🌾 (labor is the most glorious), and you can also see the wheat harvest. The other is the agricultural company The rice is contracted for cultivation and has a pure natural rice granary base with simple local customs. Best viewing period: after National Day. 2️⃣Shanglang Village, Lechang, Shaoguan Don’t be fooled by the small area of ​​ginkgo trees here, which is only 16 acres. Although small, it has all the necessary facilities. Growing on a series of hills, the trees are nearly 30 years old. They are golden ginkgo trees, and are like natural oil paintings. ‼ ️Note that Jiufeng Shanglang Village is 800 meters above sea level, so the ginkgo leaves turn yellow early and fall quickly. You have to grasp the time well. Best viewing period: mid-to-late November to early December 3️⃣Pingtian Village, Pingtian Town, Nanxiong, Shaoguan This is the "Ginkgo Town". It is about 1 hour away from the city and is suitable for self-driving. It is said that there are more than 1,000 century-old ginkgo trees, which are even more golden under the sunshine. I just want to use "the whole city is covered with golden armor" to describe the mood at this moment. Immersed in it, it is perfect for taking beautiful photos. ‼ ️Note that the temperature in Pingtian Village is relatively low, so it is recommended to wear thick clothes to prevent colds. The mountain road is rugged, so it is recommended to wear outdoor sports shoes to avoid falling. Best viewing period: late November to December

■ Longtouwan Ancestral Hall is located in "Changlai Bida" in Ankou Village, Changlai Town, Lechang City, Shaoguan. Longtouwan Ancestral Hall is located at the end of Bida. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore. However, there are signs on the Bida, and I didn't find it by looking at the signs. Instead, I was first attracted by an ancient stone arch bridge nearby. When I stood on the river and looked far away, I found that the building in the distance was the red "Longtouwan Ancestral Hall" ■ Longtouwan Ancestral Hall, the main entrance is facing the flood discharge outlet of a hydropower station. This is generally unbearable for ordinary people in Feng Shui, but it is another matter to build a temple. I think this position is really unique. The ancient temple and the hydropower station are in the middle. It is an incense burner. I don’t know if Longtouwan Ancestral Hall is not open all year round or it is not a major holiday. When I came, the gate was closed, and the gate was just tied with an iron chain. It was not closed tightly. Curiosity killed the cat. Yes, you didn’t guess wrong. I secretly stretched my head to the gap in the door and looked inside. Through the gap, I saw a god statue sitting in the center of the god platform. The ancient man was wearing a red official uniform and wearing a black gauze hat. The eyes are bright and the gods are looking at me straight, as if to say, what are you kid peeking at? ...Scared me, I reflexively retreated, in fact, there are more than one god statues on the god platform, others are blocked by the door, I did not try this action for the second time, after all, it is a bit disrespectful... ■ The plaque hanging on the beam of the ancient temple gate, the lower right corner is signed "Kuiguangfang", I don't know what it means. If you think this ancient temple is newly built, you may guess wrong, because there is a stone lion on each side of the ancient temple gate. The appearance has been smoothed by the years, and it is difficult to see from the appearance that it is a stone lion. I only know that it is a stone, but from the poems on both sides of the gate, I can guess that it is a stone lion. There should be very few people here usually, even if they come, they will go fishing on the edge of Bida, and the ancient temple is like an old man quietly guarding this side... ...The picture above ■

Does it offer a broad view? There are mountains and waters, vast land with few people. You can drive directly to the entrance of the village, and from there to the grassland is a section of muddy stone road (cars with low chassis can park at the village entrance and walk about 300 meters). There is a restroom at the entrance of the village. Tents can be pitched. Dogs are allowed. Open flames and cassette stoves are permitted.

Throughout March, our family of three insisted on hiking with our child every week. The free mountain parks in the city are such a treasure. Who knows this kind of free happiness? This time, we chose Jinjiling Mountain Park, which is not far from the city. Just because of the beautiful scenery, free parking, and kid-friendly. The best mountain in March was awarded to Jinjiling Mountain Park without any hesitation. And there were as many people as the fragrance of the flowers. There were almost no tourists in the whole afternoon. It felt like we had reserved the entire mountain in the mountains and forests. The hiking trails and steps were designed very reasonably. After entering from the west gate, we climbed up the mountain to the top and down the mountain in a loop. The design was very reasonable. There was no need to go back at all. The four-and-a-half-year-old child followed the whole way. There was no need to carry him at all. It took about 2-3 hours to complete a loop with stops and starts. In the evening, we had a comfortable meal and went to bed early.

Peach, cherry and plum blossoms are in full bloom at Jiufeng Mountain in Lechang, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province.

The rare ice osmanthus is extremely beautiful. Jiufeng Mountain in Lechang

Luxi has a beautiful place called "Galaxy". In Dengjiatian Village, Yinhe Town, there is a mountain where the golden pheasant is naturally piled up by the boulder and is called Jinjiling. There are all kinds of strange peaks and stones here. In addition to the golden chicken stone, the five-jawed stone, the bat hole and the peach flower hole, there is also a cradle stone that weighs several tons and stands for thousands of years. People sit on it and move gently. The boulder will also shake. The locals said that if you go around April, when the mountains and the mountains are everywhere, the whole sky is like a cloud. Although I missed such a season, I climbed Jinjiling at this time, but it was the time when Tonghua was in full bloom. This is another natural beauty that makes people suffocate. The gradual improvement of the supporting facilities and free tickets have become a paradise for Changsha, Guangdong and local outdoor walking enthusiasts. It is more suitable for a family with old people and children to get close to nature and relax on weekends.
