Maozifeng Forest Park (Nanxiong Ginkgo)
帽子峰林场
A state-run forest farm in the northwestern mountains of Nanxiong. In late autumn, the ginkgo “Golden Avenue” and Hakka old houses set off each other, making it a popular ginkgo-viewing spot in northern Guangdong.
Maozifeng Forest Park is the Maozifeng Forest Farm in Maozifeng Town, Nanxiong, in the northwestern mountains of “China's Ginkgo Hometown.” Its core is a Golden Avenue of ginkgo trees several kilometres long. In late autumn, the old ginkgoes, Hakka houses with yellow walls and grey tiles, and red lanterns create vivid colour. Around Xiaofangping, the ginkgoes are short and dense and often turn yellow earlier. The forest farm also has fir forests, bamboo groves and mountain streams. Visitor numbers are high during the ginkgo season. The car park and ticket office are about 4 km from the core area, so you need to transfer to a sightseeing shuttle, and the winding mountain roads can cause motion sickness. Ticket prices vary by year (group tickets cost tens of yuan). It is generally open 08:30–17:30. Together with Pingtian Ginkgo, it is one of Nanxiong's two main ginkgo-viewing destinations, and both can be visited on the same day.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:30–17:30 (ginkgo season per scenic area announcements)
