Lab hike to Shiyading

We grasp the brief autumn in Guangzhou to get out of the lab for a hike. It’s an easy 12km route from Jinkeng to Shiyading, an abandoned quarry, via the Huafeng peak. We had perfect weather with the sun and breeze:-) labhike

Happy New Year from the top of Guangzhou!


01 January 2021

Xinyi, Mingwei and friends of the lab hiked the highest peak in Guangzhou - the Tian Tang Ding (Heaven Peak). It was a strenuous 18km hike with about 1200m elevation. But the view from the top worth all the sweat. A great way to start a new year.
Happy New Year everyone!
