With the continued high temperatures in Guangzhou during September, many natural air-conditioned spaces in Baiyun district have become popular weekend escapes for residents looking to escape the heat.

Cuizhu Park is an ideal spot to escape the summer heat. Its canopy of more than 30 bamboo species provides natural shade, shielding visitors from the hot sun. The stream beside the trail offers opportunities for wading and water play, enhancing the peaceful and refreshing atmosphere.

Huangpodong Reservoir has a 520-meter-long waterfront boardwalk, allowing visitors to experience the calming lake breeze and breathtaking views.

Additionally, the Yunluo botanical garden offers an aerial view, which is a top destination for nature enthusiasts and visitors seeking a serene retreat. At the Orchid Pavilion, visitors can indulge in a cool breeze with a refreshing 20 C temperature, creating a comfortable environment while marveling at the diversity of orchids. The garden's tropical rainforest zone provides an immersive experience with simulated rainfall, which instantly reduces the perceived temperature by 5-8 C.

In the evening, Moxing Ridge on Baiyun Mountain is an excellent spot to observe the sunset. Taking a cable car through the mountains at sunset offers a unique experience.
