There are more than a dozen peaks over 1000 meters in the area, of which the main peak is 1438 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in the Pearl River Delta region and the birthplace of Xinfeng River. It is named because the mountain peak is like a bun worn by an ancient old man, and it is mostly hidden in the clouds. Yunjishan Nature Reserve is located in the middle subtropical zone and has the characteristics of mountainous climate.
