Ehuangzhang Nature Reserve
鹅凰嶂自然保护区
A national nature reserve around Ehuangzhang, a high peak of western Guangdong, with primeval forest, waterfalls and cloud seas, suitable for mountain hiking.
Ehuangzhang lies in the southwest of Yangchun, on the border between Bajia Town, Yangxi and Dianbai. Its main peak is about 1,337 meters above sea level, one of the highest in western Guangdong. The reserve lies where the tropical and south subtropical zones meet, and it preserves extensive evergreen broadleaf forest and rare plants such as rhododendron and red camellia. Many waterfalls cascade down the mountain streams. From the summit you can watch the sea of clouds and the sunrise, and on clear days you can see the South China Sea in the distance. The climb starts from the Bajia Town side, and a round trip generally takes most of a day. Some areas are the reserve's core zone and off-limits, so please stick to the open trails and go with a companion. Bajia Town at the foot of the mountain has hot springs that can be worked into your itinerary.
