Zaomu Mountain
皂幕山
The highest peak in Foshan, at about 800 meters above sea level. Grassy meadows and rows of wind turbines stretch across the summit, making it a popular hiking spot in the Pearl River Delta for watching the sunrise.
Zaomu Mountain lies on the border between Gaoming District and Heshan City. Its main peak rises about 804 meters and is the highest point in Foshan. The ridge has open grassland, with wind turbines nearby. On clear days, you can look out over the West River and the Pearl River Delta plain, and in the early mornings of autumn and winter, sea-of-clouds views are common. The classic route starts from the Genghe Town side of Gaoming, and the round trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, with some steep sections. Some people also climb at night to watch the sunrise. Entry is free. There are no commercial facilities, so bring your own water and a headlamp. It is not advisable to climb in rainy weather.
