Furongzhang Waterfall, the most famous in all of Guangdong Province. The waterfall is the centrepiece of the Furong Holiday Resort, whose 6,000 hectares encompass hills, waterfalls and forests. It has already become one of the most popular weekend destinations for Guangzhou residents.
Furongzhong is 16 kilometres north of Huadu City or 38 kilometres north of Guangzhou's city district. To reach Furongzhong by bus or car from Huadu, one can take State Highway 107 and then turn onto the special highway for the Furong Holiday Resort, which altogether takes 30 minutes. This brings you to the foot of a hill where one can see a huge, magnificent waterfall cascading down from a sheer cliffside. Interestingly, when the waterfall reaches the ground, the water turns into a placid forming a natural swimming pool large enough to accommodate some 10,000 swimmers. The area at the foot of the hill is complete with recreational services such as restaurants, hotels, karaoke bars, saunas, a foreign businessmen's club, a barbecue picnic area, tennis courts, a shooting range, and climbing. |
