Mount Baiyun Guangzhou Funicular South Log in. Mount Baiyun (Guangzhou)

Guangzhou - the capital of Guangdong Province, one of China's largest cities, the population - 12 million people. Most people come to the city at work. And I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that in the city a huge number of different parks - from gardens with a thousand-year history to centers where you can see migratory birds.

All parks open at about 6 am. Somehow I went to the park early in the morning and was extremely surprised, seeing there many people. At this time, there are many Chinese retirees in the park who are engaged in Tai Chi (Tai Chi) - Chinese combat art, which is healthy, playing different games, sing, traditional Chinese music sounds. At the same time, you can also join them, they will gladly take you, even if you do not speak Chinese. Just repeat the movements.

Guangzhou also call the city of five goats, but to find out why, you need to visit one of the amazing parks - Yuexiu Park. (Yuezu Park).

Yuexiu Park (Yuexiu Park)

it about Dean from the biggest and beautiful, in my opinion, Guangzhou Parks, its area - 860 thousand square meters. The park is located on seven hills, here are three artificial lakes. It was opened in 1952 and demonstrates the history of Guangzhou's development from a small village to a giant megalopolis.

In addition to the magnificent nature, in the park you will find a statue of five goats. According to legend, many centuries ago, to save residents from hunger, the gods on five goats arrived in Guangzhou in Guangzhou, and each goat was twenty-five sections. Since then, five goats have become a symbol of the city and depicted on many souvenirs, they can even be seen on the coat of arms of Guangzhou.

In addition to the statue of five goats, in the park you can visit the Guangzhou Museum, which consists of Zhenhai Tower (Zhenhai Tower) and the Art Gallery.

Zhenhai Tower is a five-story building, which was built in 1380 and was rebuilt five times, the last - in 1928. Next to the entrance to the building you will see two two-dimensional lions. Currently, the tower serves as a museum of history, there you can find thousands of paintings and historical relics related to different Chinese dynasties, such as min, Tan, Jin.

In the gallery you can see the work of local masters from ancient times to the present.

The entrance to the tower and the art gallery is 1.5 dollars or 10 yuan.

As I mentioned earlier, there are three lakes in the park. On Lake Baseu (Beixiu) You can rent a pleasure boat and go fishing.

Despite the fact that the park is very large, it is very difficult to get lost, because the pointers hang everywhere.

Also behind the territory of the park there are several cafes in Chinese and Turkish cuisine (for example, Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant)

Baiyun Mountain Park (Baiyun Mountain)

Shamian Island Island

Also if you are in Guangzhou do not miss the opportunity to visit the bulk sandy island of Chamyan in the Livan area. It is notable for the fact that at the end of the XIX century he served as the center of international trade, and foreigners were mainly settled. As a result, a lot of buildings were preserved on the island, which are built in various architectural styles, such as Baroque, Gothic, neoclassicism ... Feel here, as in Little Europe in the middle of Asia. And now there are many foreigners on the island.

On the island there is a park, playgrounds, many different monuments, hospital, banks, cafes. Chinese modeling agencies and newlyweds constantly spend a photo shoot here. International art exhibitions are constantly held. And there are also many fishermen. In fact, I am not sure that the fish they catch is edible, as the industry is very developed in the city, and therefore reservoirs in Guangzhou are very polluted.

How to get

To get to the island of Chamyan, use the 1st Metro Line, exit Huangsha Station (Huangsha Station) and then through the exit F. Going to the street, you will see the high-rise buildings arranged and very poor Chinese houses. To get to the island, you need to go through the bridge.

Since the island is the usual residential area of \u200b\u200bGuangzhou, then there is a large number of cafes (mainly Chinese cuisine).

CHIMELON Safari Park (The Chimelong Safari Park)

This is a giant safari park, located in the hour from the center of Guangzhou on the maps is usually indicated by Chimelong Paradise (Chiemelon Paredis. If you love Panda, then you are here. Since here is the center of a giant panda and a lot of little pandas. This is my most favorite place in whole Guangzhou.

In addition to Panda in Safari - Park you will find a huge number of animals from different parts of the planet, including Koal, Kangaroo, elephants, white tigers, many different types of birds.

In the park you can go on foot and ride on special trams. Trams have several stops where you can go out and make photos. But this is not when you walk in the park and spend how much time you need from the animal you like. Here you can easily spend the whole day, as the park is just huge.

I advise you to take a free map at the checkout or at the entrance, it is more convenient to navigate and decide in advance what you want to visit if the time is limited. In addition, pointers hang everywhere in the safari park everywhere. It is better to come in the park in the morning until very big queues and animals do not sleep.

In the park during the day there are various shows with animal participation - elephants, birds, tigers and others. Most of all remembered a bright show with zebras, giraffes and many rare birds, and all this was supervised by a Chinese in a suit of the Indian. All shows are free and go in Chinese.

How to get

The easiest way to get to the park is to sit on 3 metro line to Hanxi Changlong (Hanxi Chanlon) station. From the station to the safari park on foot go to ten minutes.

Opening hours

Safari Park is open from Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 18:00, on Saturday and Sunday from 09:30 to 18:30.

Cost

The cost of an adult ticket amounts to 39 dollars (250 yuan); Children's ticket costs $ 27 (175 yuan). It is worth noting that children below one meter have the right to visit Safari - Park.

In this safari park, there are several cafes and restaurants, mostly they are stylized (for example, decorated with animal scenery). Safari Park is far from the center, so you can eat only there or take something with you to eat.

Since it darkens in Guangzhou early, I recommend visiting the parks to 18 hours. Although in the parks and there is lighting, but still too dark to enjoy a leisurely walk and everything is well inspecting.

See you;)

Today we have the premiere: the first post prepared only by Lena. The fact is that Pasha in Guangzhou fell ill with bronchitis (very soon, by the way, let's release a post about insurance and Chinese medicine), and in one day Lena went to study the surroundings alone. Further the story of the first person of the singular.

If you decide to visit Mount Baiyun, it does not matter to think that the Baiyun Park Metro Station is what you need. Before going to the subway, I was in the center of the city, and the park is 3.5 km away from me, arriving at Baiyun Park, I found myself 4 km from the point of sending the funicular to Park :) And near the station The subway, it turns out, is a children's park with a similar name. Remember my mistake and do not repeat: to the funicular to Mount Baiyun easier to take a taxi or even to touch on foot from the center than to get to the subway.

Here is the Children's Park itself, confusing the name.

Only after a couple of kilometers turned out to be near the foot of the mountain. There was no login here, so I decided to travel the remaining couple of kilometers to the funicular for a taxi. And then so no effort is enough to shust the mountains.

Entrance to the cable car. The lifting costs 25 yuan, the descent is 20 yuan. We will go there on the rope, there are all coming and back to go on foot.

While you go to the crank, not long and get lost.

To the cabins a small queue - no one wants to go with strangers, that's all their separate carriage. I did not want to wait and on the call of the "disadvantage" jumped into the cabin to the local.

Learn!

For the first time in China, he felt excessive attention to himself. Not at all embarrassing, the fellow travelers began to make selfie with me, and it was no matter, I look at the camera or not :) Well, they themselves asked.

First look at Guangzhou from a height. As you can see, the high-altitude center remained aside.

Cabins run there and here.

We pass the temple, we will return to him on the way back from the mountain.

Next to the end station of the funicular - the observation deck. Types are excellent, even though there is a haze, but the altitude is still visible, and it is worth a lot. Panorama Clichable.

Coach, in which everyone is being photographed. Queue in the photo like to.

The park is decorated to the new Chinese year.

Attractions of the park from a cultural point of view are interesting for the Chinese, well, and to the Chinese. This, for example, the source of nine dragons. It is better to just walk :)

Rising above and above, along the tracks - stones with engraved hieroglyphs.

To find out what is written on them.

But this is all nonsense, the most interesting starts a little further when you buy a ticket for five yuan. At Maps.Me, the park is bad, so it does not understand, it is worth going or not. In fact, it turned out that after payment all the most interesting starts.

Place awesome. The ladder climbed even higher. Just have time to viterate your head.

We pass the cute chinese heart arch.

Great observation point! I would like to sit down, but do not understand.

On the way back the place was also employed: (and I dreamed of reading a book in the park, but it was just nowhere to do it - it's not to sit on Earth, indeed. Park shops are clearly not enough for the number of holidaymakers.

City in the frame from trees.

In the other side, for some reason, it was thicker.

Resperating Chinese cuisine hungry in the park will not remain - food is everywhere. Well, I'll get up ice cream.

Eating mostly fast cooking noodles, which kind of sellers are brewing immediately.

Behind the heads of guys, a building, very similar to a mysterious ball near Dubna. Is the military dropped here too?

Do you think, twin brothers :)

A little more up, and here we are on top of the mountain. Views - Ploy.

Special design for locks, interesting, is it just the newlyweds indulge?

To Beijing hand to file.

Everyone makes selfie, and I do not lag behind.

Good little - it's time and honor to know.

The level below is the "wish alley", where everyone hangs on wooden plates purchased here in the park. See how the entrance is decorated.

Not bad for someone's business goes, judging by the number of bite.

Ask love

wealth,

happy old age?

Just the number of beasts, approx. Well done, Lin, original.

After the alley - a gazebo with a view.

Here we do not go to the fortuneteller: both in the alley, and here newlyweds are photographed :)

Lifting up and down the ladders, constantly hang on something. You can even call the bell to happiness.

Once again, enjoy the view of the mysterious ball and reflect on its origin.

In the park toilet cabin hangs a reminder that his own, khm-khm, "personal effects" better hold with you.

The Chinese love to ride something out of the water - if not goldfish, as in, so at least fallen leaves.

On the way back, once again damped on the viewing platform near the stop of the funicular.

The city was covered.

Skyscrapers in the haze.

Costabilities - Chinese can not just take and go down, you need to come up with something daot, for example, a massage path. You can remove the shoes and pass barefoot on pebbles.

Such an attraction of happening on the gas beaches will not be surprised.

The park is very green.

Wonderful trees, sorry, without leaves - Winter from them.

Descended to the temple, which I showed from the height of the funicular.

I could not get inside, since in the evening the temple closes. But no one forgiving through the territory.

I did not expect such beauty to see almost at the exit.

In the pond and the turtles live nearby.

Two women and male dragged new and produce them in a pond.

Also local fauna.

It's time to look at the funicular from the bottom up. Goodbye, Baiyun!

Time was not very late, so I decided to walk 3.5 km to the nearest metro. On the way another park met.

In Guangzhou, dozens of parks and squares are one better than the other.

The day ended with even sunset.

Closer to the subway came to the African district. At first I thought that the collapsed Afro-tree was random, but after ordinary Chinese disappeared somewhere. The last doubts about whose district has dispelled the sale point of air tickets.

Already almost at home I saw a picture - the oysters are separated directly on the road. Laksheri!

On this outdoor day, Lena walked toward the end. Interesting experience turned out, but better let Pasha beyond the trips anymore :)

All travel posts "by train to Thailand":
1. Moscow-Ulan-Ude:

Mount Baiyun (in the translation "White clouds") received its name due to the fact that its slopes are often shrouded in a foggy haze. It consists of a total of 30 vertices, the highest and picturesque of which is Peak Mosylin (382 m). On the mountain you can climb on foot or on the funicular. At the base of the hill, the South-China Botanical Garden with a large collection of tropical plants and the Yuntai Garden, which is a sample of park art.

The slopes of the elevation itself are also covered with lush thickets and trees. At different heights, we are located Term Minzhulu, the Nangenas Temple and the largest sculptural park in China. For tourists, the source is also the source of nine dragons (Zlyulong). It is decorated with two pillars with bizarre figures of fantastic animals made in Chinese style. The water source has healing properties. At the foot of the mountain in the valley of Minskun is located the largest park of birds in the country.
