点评:Wuzhou was the two-hour lunch stop on a three-day bus trip from Guangzhou to a few places in the south of Guangxi province.
We’d already ‘done’ Qilou Building (TA Review) and had meandered back to our coach.
When our tour guide announced, we were going to BayYun Mountain SWMBO became confused as her favourite park in Guangzhou is BaiYun Mountain (TA reviewed). There can’t be two BaiYun’s she insisted, this one must be an imposter. Well, there are two and that’s that!
This one was called Daling Mountain but for an unknown reason the name was changed to BaiYun.
On the bus, our tour guide had suggested that we buy bus tickets at 20 Yuan each rather than attempt the 2-hour walk to the top. This turned out to the bargain of the trip as the walk is steep and there’s little to see.
Anyway, once at the top there are still many steps to climb to reach the viewing pavilion. Of course, I had to climb as high as possible, SWMBO sensibly decided to save her legs for the following two days.
At the top there were views of the river and the town. There’s a new viewing tower being built a kilometre or so away. I’d seen this on the bus on the way to Wuzhou and wondered what it was, now I knew. The tour guide reckoned it’ll be opened within a couple of months.
After 30-minutes we decided we’d seen all there was to see and wended our way down the steps to the bus stop. A ten-minute ride saw us at the entrance gate with still an hour to spare.
We investigated the area around the main gate. There’s a nice wall mural around the corner with a small shop opposite, and clean toilets are across the road.
On-time our bus duly appeared, we all climbed aboard and departed to our hotel with SWMBO still insisting this BaiYun park was a fake and not a patch of the real one back in Guangzhou.

我们已经“走完了”骑楼(TA Review),然后蜿蜒回到我们的教练那里。
当导游宣布我们要去白云山时,SWMBO 很困惑,因为她在广州最喜欢的公园是白云山(TA 评论过)。她坚持认为白云不可能有两个,这个一定是冒名顶替的。嗯,有两个,就是这样!
这座山原名大灵山,后来不知为何改名为白云山。
在车上,导游建议我们买20元一张的车票,不要尝试2个小时的步行登顶。事实证明,这次旅行很划算,因为步行很陡而且没什么可看的。
不管怎样,到达山顶后,仍然需要爬很多台阶才能到达观景亭。当然,我必须爬得尽可能高,SWMBO明智地决定在接下来的两天里保留她的腿。
在顶部可以看到河流和城镇的景色。大约一公里外正在建造一座新的观景塔。我在去梧州的公交车上看到过这个,当时想知道那是什么,现在我知道了。导游估计几个月后就会开放。
30 分钟后,我们决定已经看完了所有可看的东西,然后走下台阶前往公交车站。十分钟的车程我们就到了门口,还有一个小时的时间。
我们调查了正门周围的区域。拐角处有一幅漂亮的壁画,对面有一家小商店,干净的厕所就在马路对面。
我们的巴士准时出现,我们都上了车,前往酒店,SWMBO 仍然坚称这个白云公园是假的,而不是广州的真公园。
