I look at the mountain opposite me every day. It is not high but very large. The main peak is 295 meters above sea level and covers an area of more than 1200 hectares. It surrounds the half-moon shape of the Urban area where we are located. It has two main peaks, called Huangshan and Lushan, so it is named Huangshan Lu Forest Park. I always think it is strange. It should be more appropriate to call Huanglushan!

I have been in Nansha for more than a year, and I look at it every day. There are clouds surrounded by smoke, or blue skies and white clouds. When the sky is clear, the Hongting Tower can be seen at a glance.

I know that beyond the mountains is the sea. There is often an inexplicable impulse to find out. The seven-day holiday on National Day was too long and it was a little boring at home, so I decided to go for a walk in the mountains.

I found out online that I could take No. 19 to Mingxing Station. When I arrived at the platform, I found that No. 4 also went to Mingxing Station. When I arrived at Mingxing Station, we walked forward to the West Gate, and went backward to the East Gate. We chose the East Gate and saw No. 61 bus entering the mountain. Later, we learned that the fastest way of transportation was to take Metro Line 4 and get off at Guanglong Station, transfer to No. 61 bus, which can enter the hillside, and then walk 2 kilometers of mountain road. It is the east gate of Huangshan Lu Forest Park. Down there are Baishui Lake, Jiuwang Temple, Cherry Garden, golf course, etc., and up to the east gate is the top of the mountain.

We chose to climb the mountain. The road to climb the mountain is a densely paved asphalt road with a width of two meters. Guangzhou is commonly called the "greenway", about 3 kilometers, without steps and without tiring knees. On the winding mountain road, there is a kind of light pleasure: the trees on the mountain cover the scorching sun above you, and the fragrance of the trees is breathed into the lungs, making people feel refreshed. From time to time, birds chirping, as if to greet you. The flowers of the trees in the flower beds are dancing in front of you, take a breath again, and the smell of the sea reminds you that the sea is under the mountain.

Everything is numbing you. When you get to see the red house on the top of the mountain, you realize that you are panting and tired. You clearly see the red pavilion on the top of the mountain in front of you, but you turn again and again, as if it will never be possible to reach it. At the last two corners, the slope becomes steeper, making it even more strenuous. It is no less than 5 kilometers away from the No. 61 bus stop to the top of the mountain. It is impossible to give up. It is said that when you reach the top of the mountain, you can see the entire Nansha, see Xiaohu Island, and see the lions at the mouth of the sea facing the sea and reaching the sky.

The following is what I took in panoramic mode, from left to right, from Jiaomen River to Humen Bridge.

The planned Huangshanlu Forest Park will have Baishui Lake and the top of the mountain as two poles, connected by six landscape areas, namely countryside exploration, wetland landscape, human history, leisure and sightseeing, ecological culture, natural landscape, etc. If you add some artificial plank roads and functions to the secret forest road, people can have picnics, fishing, walking, playing ball games, rock climbing, climbing, appreciating cherry blossoms, viewing flowers, and breathing oxygen-rich ions here.

If you are a lover of animals and plants, there are also contiguous ancient camphor trees and white mangrove trees on the mountain. According to on-site research by experts from the South China Institute of Endangered Fauna and Flora, Huangshan Lu Forest Park is rich in wild animal and plant resources, and 460 species of vascular plants have been discovered, including 434 species of wild plants, belonging to 284 genera of 106 families, and there is also a national second-level protected plant-soil agarwood. There are 41 species of birds, belonging to 6 orders and 19 families. Among them, kites, peregrine falcons and kestrels are national second-class protected animals, little egrets are CITES III protected birds, and domestic swallows, golden-rumped swallow, white wagtails and yellow-rumped willow warblers are protected species under the Sino-Japanese Migratory Bird Conservation Agreement. There are 8 species of amphitheater animals. There are 14 species of reptiles, belonging to 7 families of Salamanders and Serphiformes. (This paragraph is taken from 360 Baidu)

Because Nansha is located in the geometric center of the Pearl River Delta, when the sky is high and the clouds are clear, standing at the highest peak of Huangshan Lu Forest Park not only can you see the whole picture of Nansha, but also can overlook Hong Kong and Macao. I think that Southeast Asian countries, and the connected Australia, new Zealand, etc., are not far from the world and are all in the middle of the water.
