Begin your day with a drive from Guangzhou to Meiziping Ancient Trail, a newly popular hiking destination in Yangshan County, Qingyuan. Often called “Guangdong's version of the Moer Stone Park” for its striking black karst rock formations, this thousand-year-old trail once served as a major trade route between Yangshan and Yingde.

Arrive at Meiziping and start your hike. Walk about 1 km along the cement road to reach the trailhead. Follow the big loop, approximately 9km, which takes about 4 hours at a relaxed pace.

Enjoy a beginner-friendly hike through surreal stone forests, ancient villages, and pastoral countryside. Return to the parking area and head back to the village. Grab a simple meal at a local farmhouse restaurant or snack stand before departing for Guangzhou.
