Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain is the first of the new "Eight Scenery of Yangcheng", and it is a national 4A-level scenic spot and a national key scenic spot. Located in the northeast of Guangzhou, it is one of the famous mountains in South Guangdong, and has been called "the first show in Yangcheng" since ancient times. This mountain is quite wide and consists of more than 30 peaks. It is a branch of Jiulian Mountain, the highest peak in Guangdong. Mount Moxingling, the main peak, covers an area of 20.98 square kilometers and is 382 meters high (note: the latest mapping height is 372.6 meters-State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, 2008), with overlapping peaks and green mountains overlooking the whole city and the Pearl River in the distance. Whenever it is sunny after rain or at the end of spring, the mountains are surrounded by white clouds and become a spectacle, hence the name Baiyun Mountain.
Baiyun Mountain has beautiful scenery and has been a famous scenic spot in Guangzhou since ancient times. Such as Pujian Li Anquan, Baiyun Wang Wan and Jingtai Sanggui. All of them are included in the eight scenic spots of ancient Yangcheng. In 1960s and 1980s, Baiyun Mountain was listed as one of the new eight scenic spots in Yangcheng along with Baiyun Songtao and Yunshan Splendid respectively. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were ancient temples such as Baiyun Temple, Shuangxi Temple, Nengren Temple and Maitreya Temple, as well as places of interest such as Baishan Fairy Hall, Pearl and Baihua Tomb. 199 During the Double Ninth Festival, people in Yangcheng liked to climb Baiyun Mountain. By then, the bustling scene of supporting the elderly and bringing up the young will constitute the unique painting style of Yangcheng.
For thousands of years, although there are many places of interest and historical sites in Baiyun Mountain, after repeated development and abolition, there are few relics, especially in the last hundred years, which have experienced vicissitudes and been destroyed repeatedly. By the time of liberation, only broken walls, the "South First Peak" archway and some monasteries were left. After liberation, Baiyun Mountain was reborn. Guangzhou Municipal Government organized the masses to plant trees extensively, built a reservoir 10, opened the north-south road, and built a park, villa and Shuangxi Hotel in the north of the mountain, which reproduced the lush and vibrant landscape of Baiyun Mountain.
After the founding of New China, the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area Administration was established through the construction of successive Guangzhou municipal governments. After years of construction, operation and development, Baiyun Mountain has become a large-scale national scenic spot and tourist attraction. At present, there are seven tourist areas in Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area from south to north, namely: Land Rover Tourist Area, Santaishan Tourist Area, Mingchun Valley Tourist Area, Moxingling Tourist Area, Mingzhu Building Tourist Area, Fei 'eling Tourist Area and Yiling Tourist Area.

At the end of Qin Dynasty, Gao Zheng Shi 'an lived in seclusion in Baiyun Mountain, collecting herbs to help the world, and died as a fairy in Baiyun Mountain. Ge Hong, a native of Jiangsu in the Jin Dynasty, was an alchemist in Baiyun Mountain and wrote the Taoist masterpiece Bao Puzi. In Nanliang, the Zen master Jingtai came here to build a temple, which was the earliest temple in Baiyun Mountain, and left a scene of "Jingtai monk returning", which was one of the eight old scenes in Yangcheng. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Du Fu, Su Shi, Han Yu and other famous literati climbed high to recite poems, and their poems and songs contained feelings in things, which became valuable historical and spiritual wealth in Lingnan. Among the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Baiyun Mountain ranks third: "Learn from Li Anquan, return to Jingtai monks, and have a night view of Baiyun".

Characteristic scenic spot
Guangzhou Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area Moxingling Scenic Area
Moxingling, formerly known as Biyun Peak, is located between Sujiaci and Longhugang in Baiyun Mountain. It is the highest peak of Baiyun Mountain, with an altitude of 382 meters. It is the first of more than 30 peaks in Baiyun Mountain, and the gatehouse of Moxingling can be reached from Qixia Mountain. Before the Song and Ming Dynasties, there was no name of Moxingling, only the first mountain. At the beginning of drawing the map of Baiyun Mountain, Kang Xixiu called this mountain "Moxingling" and "the first peak in the south of the day", hence the name Moxingling. As the saying goes, "Guangzhou is not counted if you don't climb Baiyun Mountain, and Baiyun Mountain is not counted if you don't climb Mount Moxing". This is completely true.
Moxingling Scenic Area includes Guangzhou Beilin, Jiulongquan, Beilin Scenic Area, Baiyun Mountain House, Nanyatang, Shuangxi Mountain Villa, Villa Guest House and Moxingling.
Guangzhou Beilin
Originally known as Baiyun Temple, the temple was built in the Song Dynasty. It is one of the ancient temples with a long history in Guangzhou and was destroyed in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. 1992 was invested by the Guangzhou municipal government to build a new Guangzhou forest of steles here. 1994 was opened to the public.
As soon as I entered the forest of steles, the first thing I saw was two magnificent Kowloon columns. It is 6 meters high, with a diameter of 1 1 m and a weight of 9.9 tons. Carved with celadon, there are 9 faucets at the top of the column, and the weight, height, diameter and carving technology are the highest in China.
Jiulongquan
This spring is the most famous spring in Baiyun Mountain, called Jiulong Spring. According to legend, An Qisheng lived in seclusion in Baiyun Temple in Qin Dynasty, often starving and unable to find water. One day, he suddenly found a hole in the cliff of the temple, in which nine chubby boys were playing. After a while, nine boys turned into nine colorful dragons and flew away. Just where the nine boys appeared, a spring appeared and rolled out. Therefore, it was named "Jiulong Spring", also known as "Angel Well". The water quality of "Jiulong Spring" is cool and sweet, and the tea brewed with it is fragrant and sweet, with delicate taste and stone taste. Climb up, that is, enter the forest of steles scenic area, with a total area of 16000 square meters. The forest of steles is built on the mountain, which combines the style of Lingnan gardens. In the form of indoor steles, open-air steles and cliff stone carvings, nearly 300 steles are placed. It collected some famous people, modern poets and calligraphers who praised Lingnan scenery, poems and calligraphy masterpieces of Yangcheng and Baiyun Mountain.
"Bai Yushan Fu" is the largest monument in the forest of steles, weighing about 4 tons. His poems were written by Huang Zuo in Ming Dynasty, and the main content describes the beautiful and pleasant scenery of Baiyun Mountain all year round. "Relief Map of Historical Figures" is carved with the images of Zheng Anqi, Lv Dongbin, Su Dongpo, Qu Dajun, Zhang Weiping and so on 19 ancient people who left footprints in Baiyun Mountain thousands of years ago.
Nanyatang
Founded in the Qing Dynasty, it was built by three Lingnan talents, Zhang Weiping, and used as a bookstore. At present, "Nanyatang" is mainly composed of indoor inscriptions, and the poems in the hall are the works of a generation of famous artists such as Xie Lingyun, Du Fu, Liu Yuxi, Han Yu, Li Shangyin and Su Shi. The Collection of Fairy Ink Xuan accounts for the largest amount of ink. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lingnan poets successively established societies in Baiyun Mountain, including Nanyuan Poetry Society, Yueshan Poetry Society and Hounanyuan Poetry Society, and gathered patrons such as Liang and Chen Bangyan. The ink painting "After Examination" by Chen Xianzhang, a famous calligrapher in Lingnan in the Ming Dynasty, is preserved here. His cursive script is vigorous and elegant.
Walking out of the forest of steles and heading west, you can see an antique courtyard hidden in the shade, which is Shuangxi Mountain Villa. Shuangxi Temple, the original site of Shuangxi Villa, is named after the temple surrounded by Yuexi and Ganxi springs. The word "double happiness" on the door cap was written by Marshal Zhu De. Shuangxi Temple was destroyed by war, 1964 was rebuilt as a hostel, and 1965 was the place where Premier Zhou Enlai and Vice Premier Chen Yi stayed. The villa is a bungalow building, with simple and elegant guest room design and Lingnan garden style. There is a spring in the court-Wubaoquan, which is clear and sweet and engraved with the word "Reading Spring".
Further west, under the shade of the pine forest, a huge stone is engraved with two vigorous and powerful Chinese characters "Song Feng". After Song Feng, we arrived at the villa guest house. The original site of Villa Hostel is Yuelu Mountain Temple, which was built by Su, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty. From 65438 to 0964, it was converted into a hostel, a typical Lingnan garden style.
Hotel Mountain Villa
Winning with its unique mountain scenery, surrounded by mountains on three sides, lush trees and towering strange stones, "Wangquan" descended from the sky, surrounded by several green hills and ponds; The east is suddenly enlightened, and the distant mountains and countryside are unobstructed. Several groups of single-storey buildings climb up the slope and are connected by verandahs on all sides. The yard is full of green water. There is also the sun room on the top of the glass cover and the indoor "Sandie Spring", with Guo Moruo and the inscription "Listening to Spring" and "Lush". On both sides of the gate, Dong's couplets inscribed in 1965 are all wonderful poems and inscriptions praising the scenery of the villa.
The villa guest house has received many party and state leaders and foreign friendly people. 1965, Premier Zhou Enlai received Indonesian Deputy Prime Minister in Villa Hotel, and held an important state meeting here. 1978 Comrade Deng Xiaoping came to the villa hotel, where he conceived an epoch-making southern tour "Spring Story" and took a group photo with the staff of Baiyun Mountain on "Meeting Mountains and Meeting Water".
