As a mountaineering and hiking enthusiast, I know the confusion beginners have when choosing a route. As a mountain city, Dongguan has a wealth of hiking routes, but for beginners, it is important to choose a route that suits you. In this article, I will recommend several hiking routes in Dongguan suitable for beginners.

1. Dongguan Guancheng Mountain

Dongguan Guancheng Mountain is the highest peak in Dongguan City, with an altitude of 583 meters. This route is suitable for beginners as it is a relatively easy route without too much difficulty. There are two types of Wancheng Mountain routes, one starting from Wancheng Mountain Park and the other starting from the village at the foot of Wancheng Mountain. The route from the park is relatively long, taking about 2 hours, while the route from the village is relatively short, taking about 1 hour. No matter which direction you start from, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongguan City.

2. Dongguan Tea Mountain

Dongguan Tea Mountain is one of the more famous mountaineering and hiking routes in Dongguan City. The total length of the route is about 7 kilometers and the altitude is 428 meters. This route is relatively more difficult, but it is also very suitable for beginners. The Tea Mountain route is mainly divided into two sections, uphill and downhill. The uphill route is relatively steep and requires climbing some rocks and tree roots, but the downhill route is gentler and relatively easy. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongguan City and the tea gardens of Chashan.

3. Dongguan Zhangmutou

Dongguan Zhangmutou is located in the southwest of Dongguan City and is a relatively large forest park. There are many hiking trails here, suitable for climbers of all levels. For beginners, it is recommended to choose a shorter route, such as starting from the park entrance and walking along the mountain road. It will take about an hour to reach the top of the mountain. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhangmutou and see some wild animals.

Summary

The above three routes are more suitable for beginners in Dongguan. Different routes have different difficulties and scenery. When choosing a route, it is recommended to choose based on your physical condition and mountain climbing experience. At the same time, pay attention to safety when climbing, bring enough water and food, wear appropriate shoes and clothing, and obey park regulations and signs. I hope everyone can enjoy the natural beauty and healthy fun on the mountaineering and hiking routes in Dongguan.
