Ready for a mountain escape this National Day holiday? Soar over Huanghua Town in Yingde, Qingyuan (清远市英德市黄花镇), and catch golden sunrises and spot egrets at Danxia Mountain, where the cliffs light up after dark. See wind turbines in the clouds in Maoming and wander through misty Yao villages in Liannan Yao Autonomous County, Qingyuan (清远连南瑶族自治县).
