Baiyun Mountain The snowy white peaks in Guangzhou city

The Baiyun Mountain or White Cloud Mountain is one of Guangzhou city’s eight sights recommended to visit. Located on the north of the city it is a famous site that has inspired many artists, scholars and poets to create some great work.

When sunrises after the rains a wreath of airy clouds circles around the mountain and the name White Cloud Mountain derives from this. The complete area of the White Cloud Mountain is approximately 28 square kilometers and it consists of thirty peaks.
