    The Moxing Summit is the highest peak of the Baiyun Mountain. With an altitude of 382 metres, different scenery can be seen in different weather conditions. On the rainy days, white clouds can be seen on the top or the foot of the mountain. On fine days, you can have a bird's-eye view of the urban modern buildings spreading all over the city and of the Pearl River running through the vast plain of the Pearl River delta.


    The four Chinese characters, which mean magnificent south sky, inscribed on the archway of the Moxing Summit were written by Zhu De, one of the late Chinese leaders. The couplets on both sides of the archway were written by an ancient Chinese calligrapher. They mean the Pearl Sea shines over the land and the cloud-capped mountains attracting mountaineers.
