Location & How to Get There

Baishuizai Scenic Spots is tucked away in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, at No. 74 Beishan Road. It’s about a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Guangzhou, so rent a car or join a day tour. If you’re coming by public transport, take the metro to Zhuangchung Village and hop on a local bus—easy peasy!

Nature’s Playground

This place is a lush green paradise! Baishuizai Scenic Spots sits along the Tropic of Cancer, nicknamed the “Emerald Jewel” for its thick forests and crisp air. The star attraction? A huge waterfall that drops like liquid silver. You can get up close at viewing platforms like the 1499-step Explosion Terrace or the 4099-step Immortal Pool. FYI: Locals say the 9,999-step trail to the top is a beast, but most folks stop at the pool—trust me, your legs will thank you!

Cool Stuff to See

Besides the waterfall, Baishuizai Scenic Spots has quirky spots like the Hilarious Water Valley (fun for kids!) and the Shipwreck Wood Boardwalk, which winds through the trees. At 2,199 steps, there’s a Cliff Platform where you can almost touch the waterfall. For daredevils, the 3,299-step Mist Terrace lets you bathe in mist—bring a raincoat!

Culture Meets Nature

The area buzzes with legends. The waterfall’s name, White Water Fairy Falls, comes from an old tale about a goddess who lived here. You’ll spot shrines and statues along the hike, blending nature with local spirituality. Even the number 9,999 is symbolic—it’s considered a “long-life trail” in Chinese culture.

Practical Tips

Wear comfy shoes (seriously, those steps are no joke). Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. The景区 (scenic area) has rest spots and snack stands, but prices tick up near the waterfall. Oh, and go early! The falls look magical at morning light, and afternoon crowds can get crazy.

What to Expect

Most visitors take 3-4 hours to reach the Immortal Pool, snapping photos and soaking in views. Hardcore hikers tackle the full 9,999 steps in 5-6 hours—but you’ll earn bragging rights! Pro tip: The best pics are at dawn or dusk when the light dances on the water.
