"While both Hong Kong and the eastern Pearl River district are noted for mountainous scenery, Guangzhou is overwhelmingly flat - with one exception." from South China Morning Post

"Its highest peak is Mo Sing Leng ("touching the stars range"), a moniker that will be familiar to Hong Kong people as this is the Chinese name for Mount Davis. Cantonese settlers who moved to Hong Kong Island after the British arrived in 1841 appropriated the name from the original at Baiyun, in much the same way that settlements in Australia, New Zealand and other colonies were named after British originals by new arrivals."

Cable-car construction has become a growth industry in recent years, thanks to the boom in domestic tourism. New routes continue to open in other popular mountain resorts, such as Huangshan and Zhangjiajie. Baiyun's cable cars have been in operation for years - children love them."
