Huangpodong Reservoir

Gazing across the tranquil waters of Huangpodong Reservoir, can you imagine the thrill of soaring above it? This isn’t just any reservoir. The Huangpodong Reservoir is nestled in the heart of Guangzhou’s Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. It has undergone a remarkable transformation. Recent upgrades have elevated it to a must-visit destination. A 520-meter waterside walkway now graces its shores. This walkway, 3.5 meters wide, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. It’s also a prime spot for birdwatching. The recent rains have replenished the reservoir. This makes the scenery even more stunning. But for the truly adventurous, there’s the Baiyun Zip Line. This 1,500-meter zip line, the longest in China, links Moxing Ridge and the Huangpodong Reservoir. Imagine experiencing the exhilaration of flight as you take in the panoramic view of the reservoir below. For a more relaxed experience, a beautiful grassy slope beckons. This tranquil spot, reminiscent of Xinjiang’s Altay region, offers a perfect place to unwind and watch the zip liners fly by. Over 9,200 bamboos and 1,000 bald cypress trees have been planted around the reservoir. This has created a lush, vibrant landscape. The bald cypress trees, with their intertwining branches displaying shades of gold, crimson, and emerald green, offer breathtaking photo opportunities. The reservoir is open year-round, 24/7. Plan to spend between one and three hours here to fully appreciate its beauty. You can reach the reservoir by contacting them at 020-37222222.
