Lijiang's Golden Mountain! Fewer people, no need to get up early! Right in the ancient town

"Right in the ancient town!" No need to get up early, no need to rush, no need to go far, and fewer people! Lion Mountain Viewing Platform is a great spot for photos You can take photos of the ancient town's eaves, snow-capped mountains, and silhouette portraits in the same frame, and in the other direction, you can take panoramic photos of the ancient town - ✅ Navigate directly to "Lion Mountain Viewing Platform" (there are two, don't go to the wrong one) 📍No. 73, Huangshan Upper Section, Xinhua Street, Dayan Street, Gucheng District (near the intersection of Minzhu Road and Jinjia Road) 🚘 You can take a taxi directly to this location. Lijiang is quite cold in the morning in winter, so if you don't want to walk up the mountain, it's recommended to take a taxi ✅ Turn left and go through the turnstile → turn right and go up when you see the Yuanshen Inn sign → keep walking along a small road → walk to the Zai Shan Ye B&B, where there is a viewing platform to wait for the Golden Mountain (see Figures 11-13 for detailed instructions) ✅ Shooting time: Check the sunrise time on your phone 📱 ✨ Winter: 8:30-9:00 am (no need to get up at 6 am!) ✨ Summer: avoid the rainy season, arrive around 7:50 am - ☁ [Golden Mountain Forecast] Decide whether to go that day! Avoid going for nothing Check the Tianwentong mini program Search for "Tianwentong" mini program → navigate to Lion Mountain Viewing Platform → scroll down to select hourly forecast → scroll to the date you want to see, mainly look at the 6, 7, and 8 o'clock time slots, if the sky and clouds are below 20%, you can see it PS: After taking photos of the Golden Mountain, return to the taxi point at the Lion Mountain Platform, where you can also take good photos through the gaps in the trees
