Maofengshan Forest Park

Maofengshan Forest Park, Urban park in Baiyun District, Guangzhou, China.

Maofengshan Forest Park covers 6,671.07 hectares in Taihe Town, Baiyun District, about 28 km from central Guangzhou. It is divided into the Tongluowan, Jiulongjian and Maofeng Ancient Temple hiking areas. The main hiking route passes the Thousand-Year Ancient Trail, Maofeng Ancient Temple, Red Maple Garden, Tianhu Lake, Banfeng Pavilion and the 534.9 m summit, Lianhua Peak.

Maofengshan Forest Park was created in 1997 and covers 6,671.07 hectares across Taihe Town in Baiyun District, about 28 km from central Guangzhou. In 2001 the Guangdong Forestry Bureau approved it as a provincial forest park, and in 2003 its misty peaks were named one of the "Eight Sights of Baiyun" as "Maofeng Misty Rain". It became a national 3A scenic area in April 2023 and a 4A area in July 2024.

The name Maofengshan ("Hat Peak Mountain") comes from the peaks vanishing into cloud and mist after rain, looking like a white hat on the mountain. The park is split into the Tongluowan, Jiulongjian and Maofeng Ancient Temple climbing areas; the temple, first built around 900 AD, is a well-known pilgrimage site. In November the Hongfengyuan maple garden, about 10,000 square metres beside Tianhu Lake, is at its best.

The park entrance is about 28 km from central Guangzhou in Taihe town, Baiyun District. The usual route climbs from the entrance through the Thousand-Year Ancient Trail, Maofeng Ancient Temple, Hongfeng Garden, Tianhu Lake and Banfeng Pavilion to the 534 m summit, where two weather towers and a visitor centre stand. Drivers pay an extra fee to park at Tianhu Lake.

The summit, called Maofeng Dandao Songding, rises 534.9 metres and is the highest point of Guangzhou's old eight districts; two weather towers and a visitor centre stand there. The park covers 6,671.07 hectares, about twice the area of Baiyun Mountain.
