April in Hengqin brings balmy breezes and a delightful climate, ideal for embarking on hiking and outdoor excursions. Xiaohengqin Mountain, situated on the northern flank of the island, exudes an even greater vitality amidst the lush spring greenery.
Tracing the ridge, a scenic 14.6-kilometer trail gracefully unfolds amidst the verdant foliage. On the eastern side, you can feast your eyes on the panoramic views of Hengqin and Macao's urban landscapes, while the western side offers a serene escape into the tranquility of the mountain streams.
The trail is adorned with myrtle and mussaenda pubescens flowers, creating a captivating display of natural beauty. As you venture deeper into the woods, you'll be greeted by clusters of golden flowers from Taiwan acacia trees, emitting a delightful fragrance that lingers in the air.
If exhaustion sets in, you can retire to the Shanhai Post Station or the Garden Post Station at the foot of the mountain. These sites are adorned with flowers throughout the year, providing an idyllic spot to unwind and explore the wonders of nature.
Admission to the Xiaohengqin Mountain Trail is complimentary, inviting everyone to enjoy its natural beauty.
