## About Maozi Peak Scenic Area

Known as the “Hometown of the Ginkgo,” much of this area retains its primeval forest character. Wild fruit grows across the hillsides, birds and animals move through the woods, and flowers and trees are abundant, filling the air with fragrance in every season. In late autumn, the ginkgo groves turn golden and the forest glows in shades of yellow, drawing many enthusiastic photographers. It has earned the nickname “the Jiuzhaigou of Northern Guangdong.”
