With just a call to the clouds, I arrived at Wugong Mountain
Your distant steps👣, never ceasing🚶, the most beautiful time is on the journey🎒. Having visited Wugong Mountain once, it was absolutely stunning😍❤️! I organized this top-secret guide overnight, a blessing for the lazy❗ Sisters who want to visit Wugong Mountain can just follow this guide👇.
⭕ How to get there:
✈️ Take a plane to Changsha, then take a🚄 high-speed train to Pingxiang North Station, and from there take a shuttle bus to Wugong Mountain, which takes about 70 minutes🕙. Luggage can be stored at the bus ticket office🛅 for 15 yuan/person (while storage at Wugong Mountain costs 20 yuan/person). The bus ticket costs 27 yuan/person, and you can take it both ways.
🏠 About accommodation:
If possible, stay in a guesthouse🏘. We booked a double tent at the Golden Summit for 128 yuan⛺, which is closer to the place for watching sunrise and sunset🌇. However, the Golden Summit has more convenient access to toilets💧 and water.
🌟 Itinerary:
🔶 Full cable car: Take the first-level cable car🚡 and the Golden Summit cable car to go up and down the mountain. The first-level cable car costs 65 yuan💰, and the Golden Summit cable car is 35 yuan💰.
🔶 Hike up, cable car down: If you want to enjoy hiking, you can choose this way👣, which saves time going down the mountain. It takes about 6-7 hours to hike up and only 1-2 hours to go down.
🔶 Hiking both ways: The whole journey takes about 8 to 10 hours.
ps: The entrance ticket for Wugong Mountain scenic area🎫 is 70 yuan, and the student ticket is 50 yuan.
⛅ Best time to visit:
🔷 Green Wugong Mountain: From May to early October🌱.

⭕ Routes up the mountain:
🔵 Fuxing Rock route: Take the first-level cable car or hike from the visitor center to Fuxing Rock (altitude 1200 meters), then follow the Fuxing Valley plank road, Lover's Gallery💐, Meadow Circuit, Scorpion Stone, Qi Ci Altar to reach the Golden Summit (altitude 1918 meters)❗ Along the way, there are glass plank roads, azaleas🌸, alpine meadows, etc.
🔵 Diaoma Zhuang route: Take the first-level cable car or hike from the visitor center to Diaoma Zhuang (altitude 1200 meters), then follow the Diaoma Zhuang plank road, Jade Mouse Worshipping Buddha🐭, Starry Sky Plank Road🌌, Twin Peaks, Cloud Sea Resort to reach the Golden Summit (altitude 1918 meters)❗ This route is thrilling and exciting💢, with attractions such as cliff plank roads, Diaoma Zhuang, Starry Sky Plank Road along the way.
📷 Photo strategy:
✔️ Sea of clouds☁️: After the rain, when the air is humid, there's a high chance of seeing a sea of clouds👀.
✔️ Sunrise🌅: From 5:30 to 7:00, getting up early is the right choice🌄.
✔️ Sunset🌇: From 18:30 to 19:20, don't miss the sunset and the evening glow🌅.
✔️ Meadows: The section from Faiyun Boundary to Despair Slope is very beautiful and pristine🤩❤️.
⚠ Suggestions:
👏 It's best to go during the day, the experience of taking the cable car➕hiking is really great👍😃.
👏 Be sure to check the weather forecast before going, clear weather is needed to see the beautiful sunrise and sunset🌇🌄.
👏 It's very cold on the mountain, so a windbreaker and a hat are essential, and it's best to bring a thicker coat🧥.
👏 Sisters who want to take photos📷 should tie up their hair, as the wind on the mountain is huge🎐.

Hi, young man! Is this the Wugong Mountain you like?
||There's no price for youth.
In the end, I went to Wugong Mountain.
I made a two-day guide, and checked the weather forecast every day.
The departure time was changed again and again, just waiting for this snowy Wugong Mountain.
🗺️ Original itinerary
Straight through the main gate: about 10 kilometers
Journey: two days and one night
Main experience purpose: to see the sea of clouds, sunrise and sunset, and the snow I've been longing for❄️
🚗 Transportation
I waited for my friends to buy tickets. For some reasons, my friends didn't go. When I bought tickets, there were no more tickets. I bought different time slots and different seats for the standby tickets. Finally, I bought them the day before the planned time.
D①: I arrived at Pingxiang North Station, which can be reached from all over the country. After arriving at Pingxiang North, you can directly carpool. There are many carpools there, and the price is not expensive, 30 yuan per person. I arrived late, so I stayed nearby for one night.
D②: I carpooled with others to the tourist center, and then took the free bus to Wugong Mountain.
🚵♂️ Original mountain climbing route
➡The whole journey of the uphill route is about 4-6 hours:
Tourist Service Center-Shigu Temple-Longtan-Monkey Valley-Diaomazhuang Plank Road-Zijigong-Haohan Slope-Diaomazhuang Meadow-Wanbaogui-Golden Top
➡Downhill route:
Golden Top-Golden Top Meadow-Scorpion Stone-Glass Plank Road-Wishing Stone-Zhong'an-Shigu Temple-Tourist Center
On the day of climbing, it snowed heavily. I arrived at the tourist center with my partner. Because the snowy scenery was too beautiful, I took a lot of photos here.
Because of the late arrival and the time spent taking photos, I didn't climb the whole journey. I took two cable cars.
If you don't take the cable car, it's estimated that it will take 6 hours to climb the whole journey. It snowed heavily that day, the road was slippery and dark, and there were many steep mountain stairs, which were really hard to climb.
Fortunately, I took the cable car, otherwise I really couldn't climb up. It was snowing and getting dark quickly, so when beginners go, they really need to arrange their time and route well.
My equipment🎒
1️⃣Self-provided: storm coat, fleece storm pants, rib down jacket, fleece liner, quick-drying clothes, glasses, gloves, wool socks, hat, climbing shoes, climbing stick, moisturizing water cup, warm baby sticker, hot water bottle
2️⃣Bought at the hotel: thermal underwear, scarf, garbage bag, disposable underwear, umbrella
3️⃣Bought at the tourist center: anti-skid shoe cover, raincoat
It snowed that day, and it was really cold when I got up in the morning. Later, I thought about it and could add some equipment appropriately. Winter is about keeping warm.
Accommodation🏠
I booked the star room of Yunzhihai Service Station in advance. The environment is not so bad, and there is an electric blanket.
When I climbed here, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and my hands were already numb.
When I went to bed, I turned on the electric blanket, took out my hot water bottle and warm baby sticker, and I was so happy!!
So all the efforts did not let me down in the end, I saw the snowy Wugong Mountain I have been longing for.
Like things, always have to pursue it once.
The scenery on the road is beautiful, but you have to appreciate it yourself, so as not to let down your youth.
The most romantic thing is not to watch the sunset with the one you love.
Nor is it the young age of eighteen.
But a mountain climbing trip that you can go on a whim.
The end of the mountain is not necessarily a mountain, but my own melody.
So! Let's go climbing and find our own melody.

In the golden autumn, let's conquer Wugong Mountain together
🍃 'Listen to the wind, go where you want to go', with the arrival of early autumn, have you already planned where to go next? Is it to appreciate the autumn in the north, or to catch the tail of the summer to see the blue sea in the south again, I think, my plan is to take advantage of the autumn not yet fully arrived, and go to Wugong Mountain to start a special forces journey, go all out to conquer this mountain again.
🍃 Every trip is a meaningful thing. At the end of September, I came to Wugong Mountain again and started a special forces-style mountain climbing journey with my friends. I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of Wugong Mountain again. I didn't expect that in the early autumn when autumn is coming, I could still see the green lawn on Wugong Mountain. I think this should be the last surprise that summer left for early autumn.
🍃 I successfully conquered Wugong Mountain again. During the climbing process, although I felt very tired, I was accompanied by friends, encouraged each other, and finally conquered this mountain. I suddenly remembered that when I first entered the workplace, when I did something, I didn't know anything at the beginning. With the encouragement and help of my colleagues, I felt joy in completing my work tasks with all my efforts. This golden autumn, come to Wugong Mountain with Elong to conquer this mountain.

Wugong Mountain, a hiking trip
💫 A group of five novices and one experienced driver, this trip to Wugong Mountain was full of twists and turns, unbelievable! 😂
🏞 The original plan was to cross the entire mountain, starting from Shenzi Village, climbing up Tieti Peak, and then rushing to the Golden Summit, moving forward all the way. 😅
However, wisely we chose to settle near Tieti Peak, this decision was too wise! 👏
🌧 It rained, the mountain road became wet and muddy, we were soaked all over, at this time, we were really testing the limit! 😰
Climbing steep slopes, more tired than monkeys, we had to be careful, the abyss was next to us, a misstep could be fatal! 😱
🤕 Feet, waist, knees, legs, all kinds of pain, night fell, we were exhausted... 😓
It was dark, as if we were in a mysterious jungle, full of unknowns and challenges! 🌌
💊 Fortunately, we were well prepared with medicines, thermometers, ibuprofen, calcium tablets, indomethacin, mosquito repellent spray, itch ointment, herbal ointment, quick-acting heart-saving pills, we had everything! 💪
We also ate a lot, fresh meat moon cakes, waffles, sausages, bread, egg yolk crisps, Oreos, Wangzai, snacks saved lives! 🍔🍫
🚁 The original plan was to take a helicopter down the mountain, but the heavy fog blocked the sky, we had to grit our teeth and go down the mountain... 😬
The fog was thick, as if we were in a fairyland... ☁
❄ At night, the cold wind was biting, and the companions in the tent were frozen like penguins! ❄
🌞 In the end, the next morning, the sun shone, the fog dispersed, and we finally saw the beautiful scenery! 🌞
This adventure was full of challenges, but it also trained our courage and perseverance! 🌄
In short, the trip to Wugong Mountain was tortuous and exciting, but also full of unforgettable moments! If you also want to come, don't forget to prepare enough medicines and food, this will be an unforgettable adventure! 😄

The Stone path
Whenever I'm going for hiking it is more like a blessing in disguise, to have a bunch of other crazy hike freaks👻 coming along with you; but then you'll always be pushing your limits to keep up with everyone. One such serious hike 🥾 I did was in Wugong mountain, located in Jiangxi province. We started at the Shanshui (山水) outdoors club 🥸, then started hiking along the stone path. At one point, I almost got fed up after going over steps again and again. But it's totally worth it. Especially if you're planning to rent the tent 🎪 over there and stay overnight; to see the sunrise the next day morning. Also if you're lucky then, just look up to the sky. We also visited a small waterfalls and on our way down we took cable car. Be prepared, to carry your proper hiking gears. 😁加油 哈哈

Although I ain't a hardcore hiker, I really went on to do this just for the perfect meadows that's spread over the whole area. If only I had some swiss cattles 🐮 I can grow them very healthy here 😝 such is the lush green 💚 grass. The hiking 🥾 path started at Shenzi village, and as a first milestone we set to reach the Golden summit also called as Bai he peak. Then few of us decided to go easy on our body😋 and took the ropeway to Stone drum temple. Have proper rainy clothes and food packed for yourself. #jiangxitravel #hikefreak

Wugong Mountain Sunrise: Photographing everything, golden sunrise!
In the city, facing the steel cement for too long, you should go to the nature and go to Wugong Mountain for a walk. After the heart is dripping, every cell is relaxed. Of course, you can't miss the sunrise of Wugong Mountain. A beautiful sunrise will definitely make you rekindle the passion of struggle and regain your expectations for the future.
Come to the top of the mountain and look around. Every hill stands with tourists waiting for the sunrise. We are all looking forward to it and look forward to seeing the first light.
Our time is just right, after boarding the summit, I will wait for about ten minutes, and the sun will rise! The tourists around the chatter were quiet, and the whole Wugong Mountain seemed to only hear the sound of the wind and the shutter.
The sun rises slowly and instantly shines through the earth. The original green Wugong Mountain was dyed golden yellow. The sky is burning, the meadow is burning, and our hearts are burning. The sunrise of Wugong Mountain not only satisfies our vision, but also fills our hearts, as if we have given us a "strong heart", full of hope and motivation.
Watching a little couple take a group photo before sunrise, like a young self. Compared with the Wugongshan sunrise five years ago, todays feelings are even deeper, perhaps because of the many things that have happened in the past five years. In the face of nature, facing all things, people are so small, living in the moment, and playing in time.

I just came back from Wugong Mountain and there are a few suggestions I must make
On the vast land of China, there is a secret realm that countless travelers yearn for—Wugong Mountain. Here, it is the romantic rendezvous of the sea of clouds and the sunrise, the pilgrimage route for hiking enthusiasts, and a dreamy fairyland in the lens of photography lovers. Below is a travel guide to Wugong Mountain, tailored for you who desire to explore the unknown and embrace nature. Let's embark on this journey through the clouds together!
Attraction Introduction: The Sky Ladder meets the Sea of Clouds, the Golden Summit overlooks the mountains
• Cloud Prairie: Stepping into Wugong Mountain, the first thing that strikes you is the green ocean that seems to float in the air—the alpine meadow. The changing seasons endow it with different colors: the verdant green of spring, the blooming flowers of summer, the golden yellow of autumn, and the silver outfit of winter, each season offering breathtaking beauty.
• Golden Summit Sunrise: The Golden Summit, at an altitude of 1918 meters, is the highest point of Wugong Mountain and the best place to watch the sunrise. When the first ray of sunlight pierces through the clouds, the golden light spills over the undulating mountain range, and at that moment, all the waiting turns into endless awe.
• Glass Skywalk and Suspension Bridge: A heart-pounding high-altitude experience, walking on the transparent glass skywalk, with the abyss beneath your feet and the boundless sea of clouds in front of you, every step is a test of courage.
Itinerary: Three days and two nights, deep into the cloud secret realm
Day 1: After arriving at Pingxiang station, take the direct bus to Wugong Mountain (about 2 hours) to reach the entrance of the scenic area. It is recommended to start climbing in the afternoon, enjoy the scenery along the way, stay overnight at a halfway inn, and experience the quiet night in the mountains.
Day 2: Get up early and head for the Golden Summit, passing through the Cloud Prairie on the way, take a timely rest, and take photos for memory. Arrive at the Golden Summit around noon, have lunch, and rest for a while, waiting for the sunset. Stay overnight at the summit or choose to camp, stargazing and chatting, enjoying the tranquility under the starry sky.
Day 3: Get up early to watch the magnificent sunrise, then descend the mountain on the other side, exploring different scenic lines. If the weather is clear, you can once again enjoy the spectacle of the sea of clouds. Return to Pingxiang in the afternoon and end the unforgettable journey to Wugong Mountain.
Food Recommendations: The taste of Wugong Mountain
• Pingxiang Stir-fried Pork: Made with local pork and quickly stir-fried with chili peppers, it is spicy, fresh, and the perfect choice to replenish energy.
• Wugong Mountain Bamboo Shoots: Freshly picked bamboo shoots from the mountains, whether stir-fried or stewed in soup, allow you to taste the purest flavors of nature.
• Specialty Farmhouse Dishes: In the villages at the foot of the mountain, a variety of farmhouse dishes await you, such as wild vegetable pancakes and stone pot fish, each bite is an ultimate temptation for the taste buds.
Transportation Tips:
• External Transportation: You can first fly to Nanchang or Changsha, then transfer to the high-speed train to Pingxiang North Station, where there are direct bus services to Wugong Mountain outside the station.
• Internal Transportation: The scenic area provides cable car services. For visitors with limited physical strength or tight schedules, you can choose to take the cable car up and down the mountain, saving energy while also enjoying the mountain scenery from different angles.
Wugong Mountain is not just a physical journey, but also a purification of the soul. Here, every step is taken to the rhythm of nature, and every breath is filled with the scent of freedom. Pack your bags, let us set off together, to find that cloud-top memory that belongs to you!

If you want to see such a Wugong Mountain, first listen to these 10 pieces of advice!
I just came back from Wugong Mountain 😎
The Wugong Mountain in summer is simply stunning! After experiencing the high mountain clouds, endless meadows, and the beautiful sunrise and sunset ☁️, I hurriedly organized a Wugong Mountain hiking guide overnight.👇 The following 10 pieces of advice, you must listen carefully! I hope it can help friends who plan to go during the Dragon Boat Festival.
1⃣ How green is Wugong Mountain? By the end of May, it's almost 90% green 🍃, and by June, it's completely green.
2⃣ Recommended travel time: In May-June, the grass is already green, and compared to July-September, the weather is not so hot ☀️, and you can cleverly avoid the peak of tourist flow during the summer vacation.
3⃣ Suggestions for the duration of the visit: If you plan to take the outdoor route and want to avoid the crowds, I recommend 2 days and 1 night, so you can enjoy your time leisurely; if you are like a special forces soldier and choose the scenic route, then you can wait on the mountain top until after watching the sunrise and sea of clouds before descending.
4⃣ How to get there: 🚄 By high-speed train, from various places to Pingxiang North Station/Pingxiang Station, then transfer to the scenic area; 🚌 by bus, you can charter a car with us; by plane, you can first get to Changsha, then take a 30-minute high-speed train to reach Pingxiang North Station.
5⃣ Ticket and cable car costs: 🎫 Ticket 70r/student ticket 50r; first-level cable car (Zhong'an): 65r for the ascent, 50r for the descent; second-level cable car (Golden Summit): 30r for the ascent, 20r for the descent.
6⃣ How should beginners with no hiking experience choose a route: 👉 You can directly enter the scenic area, take the cable car up and down, and then walk the starry sky plank road; 👉 The difficulty is lower, and the route is also safe, but there will be relatively more people.
7⃣ How to choose a route to avoid the crowds:
✅ Route 1: Longshan Village - Fayunjie - Mountain Inn - Despair Slope - Golden Summit - Scenic Area Gate, 🚶 suitable for beginners with good physical strength or those with hiking experience;
✅ Route 2: Shenzi Village - Golden Summit - Diaomazhuang - Despair Slope - Fayun - Fayunjie - Shenjia Courtyard - Mingyue Mountain Scenic Area - Return from Yichun Station, 👉 this way you can successfully avoid the crowds and also see scenery not on the regular route, the latter half of Mingyue Mountain's scenery is simply comparable to Zhangjiajie. 🚶 Suitable for people with rich hiking experience.
8⃣ Accommodation tips: There are starry sky tents and inns on the mountain top, but try to stay in an inn!! Remember to book in advance on weekends and holidays!!
9⃣ Due to the complex terrain of Wugong Mountain and it not being fully developed, for safety reasons, it is not recommended to travel alone, it is suggested to travel with others or follow us on the outdoor route to avoid the crowds~
10⃣ Equipment suggestions are here:
1. Essential equipment: trekking poles, backpack, sports shoes, sportswear, raincoat, mobile phone, warm and spare clothes, portable power bank, ID card, personal medicine, trash bags;
2. Optional equipment: sun hat, sweat towel, knee pads, sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, camera;
3. Food and water: bread, beef jerky, chocolate, fruits, etc.;
4. Bring more than 1 liter of water, functional drinks!

Youth has no price tag, and Wugong Mountain is right under your feet
🌄 Hey, buddies! 👫 Tired of the crowded hotspots? 😫 Come, join me to unlock those lesser-known but breathtaking secret spots! 🔓🎉 This time, I'm going to give you the ultimate guide to my favorite off-the-beaten-path travel destination of 2024—Wugong Mountain! 🏞️
🚶 Easy to get the hiking routes up and down the mountain! 👣 To go up, just take the bus from the visitor center to the entrance of the scenic area, then take the Zhong'an cable car, followed by a series of scenic spot check-ins: Shigusi Temple 🏯, Haohan Slope 🧗♀️, Diaoma Zhuang 🐎, Wanbao Cabinet 🎁, and finally reaching the Golden Summit! 🏔️ Going down is just the reverse, but the scenery along the way is a different kind of beauty! 🌄
🎫 Plan your tickets & accommodation in advance! 💰 The ticket is 70 for adults, and students can enjoy a discounted price of 50! 🎓 The cable car is also super cost-effective, 65 up and 50 down, and there is a second-level cable car to choose from as needed! 🚡 As for accommodation, I must say, Wugong Mountain is super popular! 🔥 Especially during peak season, booking in advance is a must! 🏠 I personally prefer the starry sky rooms, although they are a bit unclean, they are much warmer than tents, and you can watch the stars at night! 🌟
🍜 Eat and drink, you can enjoy delicious food while climbing! 🍽️ The prices on the mountain are quite people-friendly. Water is about 4 yuan per bottle, and one bottle is enough for climbing, as there are plenty of supplies on the mountain! 💧 There are also restaurants with an average cost of 50 yuan per person, noodles for 35, and instant noodles for 15, but it's recommended to bring some snacks, like bread 🥖 and chips 🥔 are good choices!
🎒 Travel preparation, don't miss anything! 👜 Documents, clothing 👕, toiletries 🧼, medicines 💊, supplies 🧴, electronic devices, and food 🍔, all need to be prepared! Especially power banks 🔋 and thermos cups ☕️, you can rent power banks on the mountain, but having your own is more convenient. For food, water, instant noodles, and snacks are fine, don't carry too much weight! 🎒
📝 Wugong Mountain Tips, keep them and you're welcome! 📌
1️⃣ No need to buy tickets for all cable car sections, just the first one is enough, you can save some energy on the second section. 💰
2️⃣ Haohan Slope and the Golden Summit are a bit tough to climb, but running down the mountain is really thrilling! 🏃
3️⃣ To watch the sunrise and sunset, you need to stay overnight on the mountain, the starry sky at the Golden Summit is super beautiful! 🌌🌅
4️⃣ There's a big temperature difference at the summit, remember to bring a windbreaker! 🧥
5️⃣ Check the weather in advance, you won't see the sunrise if it rains. ☔️
6️⃣ Don't forget sunscreen, the UV rays on the mountain are very strong! 🧴
7️⃣ For peak season accommodation, book in advance! 📅
Alright, that's it for the Wugong Mountain guide this time! 👋 I hope it helps you, and I wish everyone a fun trip without regrets! 💕🎉
Wugong Mountain's 'Desperate Break' really brings despair.
If you don't exercise regularly,
I really don't recommend these so-called popular routes for people who rarely hike.
I also took a crossing route outside of the scenic area before,
where after several hours of mountain climbing there was almost no scenery to admire,
and I began to feel despair even before reaching 'Desperate Break'.
Climbing at night is even less safe.
You can sweat in a short-sleeved shirt during the day, but at night the mountaintop is so cold that even a down jacket isn't enough.
Actually, by following the normal scenic routes and taking the cable car when available, you won't miss much of the beautiful scenery. Sunrise, sunset, sea of clouds, starry sky, as long as the weather conditions are right, you'll get to see all of them.
So when hiking, you must assess your own strength,
stick to the official routes, and avoid mountain climbing at night.
Put safety first.
Conserve your energy and strength to enjoy the beautiful views.

Here comes the simple and practical guide to conquering the little Wugong Mountain
🔔 With one call to the clouds, I arrived at Wugong Mountain. The travel guide to Jiangxi's Wugong Mountain is here! Wugong Mountain is truly beautiful. With summer approaching, the meadows of Wugong Mountain are turning green again.
🚌 About Transportation
🚇 High-speed Rail: Take the high-speed train/train to Pingxiang Station or Pingxiang North Station, then transfer to the express bus directly to Wugong Visitor Center.
✈️ Airplane: Fly to Changsha Huanghua International Airport, then transfer to high-speed rail to Pingxiang, and take the express bus from there.
🎫 About Tickets Book in advance for 60, 70 on the day.
👏🏻 First Level Cableway (Zhong'an Cableway) Upward 65/Downward 50
👏🏻 Second Level Cableway (Jinding Cableway) Upward 35/Downward 25
⛰️ Hiking Suggestions
▪️ The whole journey on foot takes about 10 hours.
▪️ (One section of the cableway): Shigusi Service Area - Zhong'an Cableway - Echo Valley - Lover's Gallery - Xuanwu Divine Turtle - Meadow Boat - Alpine Meadow - Jinding Flame.
📝 Note tips:
✅ There's no need to buy tickets for both sections of the cableway, just the first section is fine.
✅ Be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes, the climb to the top of the mountain and Jinding can be challenging with many stairs and steps. If you have the stamina, you can run all the way up, and the descent is smooth.
✅ If you want to see the sunrise at the summit in the morning and the starry sky at night, it's recommended to stay overnight on the mountain. There are tents at the top, be sure to book one or two days in advance. If you're concerned about cleanliness, book a guesthouse/inn room instead. The tent is 128, and the price of the starry sky bubble house is slightly more expensive!
✅ Sunglasses, masks, hats, sun protection clothing, and other items are a must. The UV rays at the summit can easily cause sunburn – bring a fleece jacket if staying overnight.
✅ For night climbing, bring a flashlight, spare underwear, toiletries, instant noodles, and other energy-boosting foods.
✅ Power bank, thermos (there's free hot water at the summit), wet wipes, and tissues.
✅ Check the weather in advance, as rain a day or two before can make it difficult to see the sunrise.

Where to go for the Dragon Boat Festival? (Central China Edition Gansu)
Fujian Zhangzhou Zhangzhou·Fujian
Zhangzhou, a beautiful coastal town with few people. It is less commercialized than Xiamen, and the seascape is more artistic and fresh than Gulangyu. It has a unique Tulou culture, and if you come here, you must visit the Nanjing Tulou. The Tulous are built against the mountains, arranged one after another, forming a huge and unique cluster of Tulous, and the whole scene is breathtaking. May is a great time to visit the islands here. Dongshan Island is the second largest island in Fujian, and it has an Italian-style 'Colorful Fishing Village', with vibrant houses and simple villagers, as if you've stepped into a postcard.
Jiangxi Wugong Mountain Wugong Mountain·Jiangxi
Wugong Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is most famous for its endless high mountain meadows. Many hikers take advantage of the weekend to camp here, watching the sea of clouds during the day and the stars at night, having an intimate encounter with nature.
Gansu Zhangye Zhangye·Gansu
The Zhangye Danxia landform has been selected by the American 'Huffington Post' as one of the 22 most unforgettable landscapes in the world. When you come to Zhangye, you will find that the rough Northwest also has a gentle side. It is not the traditional red landform, but a colorful Danxia, with bright colors such as deep red, yellow, orange, green, cyan-gray, gray-black, gray-white, etc., undulating like waves, shimmering with light. The most beautiful time is at sunset, when the colors change constantly with the sunlight, and the sunset, white clouds, peaks, and Danxia form a stunning natural painting that jumps out at you, as beautiful as a peacock spreading its feathers, making people linger and forget to return.

Wugong Mountain Hiking: From Shenzicun to the Golden Summit and then to Zhong'an
Many people say that Wugong Mountain is a must-climb.
I ask: Why?
They say, Wugong Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.
Hmm? Aren't the three famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River Huangshan, Jiuhuashan, and Qiyunshan? At least that's what people in Anhui think.
They say, Wugong Mountain has starry skies, fireflies, and rare alpine meadows.
Hmm, well, it seems that other places have these too.
They say, have you heard this saying: 'Mount Tai is full of beggars, Wugong Mountain is full of suspenders.'
Hmm, really? That's good, I'll go!
So, led by an old donkey, I hiked up the mountain to demonstrate our professionalism in pretending. From the hotel at the entrance of the scenic area to the Shenzicun hiking entrance, it's 12 kilometers, then following the Shuoxi stream upwards.
The beginning of the hike is joyful. The rain was sparse last night, and the gravel road is still a bit damp, but walking on it is still brisk. The bamboo is green, the stream is tinkling, the birds are chirping, and the white flowers of the tung trees are in full bloom! Such hiking is exhilarating.
Not far along, there are small bridges, flowing water, and homes, while we, the foodies, are at the ends of the earth.
The tinkling stream comes from the lofty peaks, winding its way to see the vast sea; we, the chirping ones, come from the seaside, rushing all the way to see these lofty peaks.
On the way, I encounter several senior groups, thinking: If they can do it, is this route not challenging? They turn right, to Jiulong Mountain; we turn left, heading straight for Tieti Peak! No more coffee in the Wild Valley, let's go!
If you don't take the usual path, then it's the muddy road. Muddy road, still a muddy road, all muddy roads.
Walking along, I don't know where my old companions have fallen behind. No more flowers, no more wind, no more bird songs, only the endless muddy road, only my own heartbeat, only panting and secretly annoyed: Why didn't I follow the senior group?
After an entire hour and a half of torment, from an altitude of 800 to 1500, I finally see the light of day again!
Alright, after a few dozen steps, the view suddenly opens up.
From then on, it's all about the scenery, all about taking photos, how exhilarating it is. The high mountain azaleas are in full bloom, swaying. I am swaying, my heart is blooming.
The Gate of Heaven is not far ahead. Upon arrival, snap a photo.
Finally, I reach the Tieti Peak Inn. Fifteen yuan for a bottle of cola tastes exceptionally refreshing. Is there anything more exhilarating than drinking cola? Yes, it's the eight dishes at this moment, with rice all you can eat, even without soup. After the meal, even looking at this withered tree feels meaningful.
Continue towards the Golden Summit, the scenery gets more and more beautiful, the road more and more dangerous.
Below the Golden Summit, there is an altar, it is said that praying to a photo also works. You're welcome.
Above the Golden Summit, the crowd is like a weave. But mostly in long robes and trousers, where are the suspenders, liars! The weather is very good, many tents are set up on the mountain top, for the prepared young people, with prices varying, to each their own.
As a middle-aged person like me, I don't have the patience to queue up for check-ins, nor to strike poses, so I just take a casual photo, been there, done that. Down the mountain, running down, a bit showy, but indeed someone exclaims in admiration.
All the way running to the Diaoma Zhuang intersection. Continue straight, should have turned left to go down the mountain. However, the glass walkway is also a scenery.
Back to Hao Han Slope, the slope is steep, the stairs narrow, the people many. Walking, running, with the stream and waterfall accompanying. Again, it's the bamboo forest by the stream, and the slanting sun shines through the shade, with colorful rays, too beautiful for words.
From Diaoma Zhuang to the Zhong'an Tunnel Transfer Station, eighty minutes, going down the mountain is indeed much faster than going up.
Looking back at the mountain I climbed, I will come again. My blessings are with you.

Wugong Mountain is really breathtaking
I visited Wugong Mountain in April, and it was truly beautiful!!
Make sure to check the weather before you go. The weather was just so-so on the day I went; I didn't see the sea of clouds, and even the sunrise was obscured by fog. There was an especially heavy fog, and I couldn't see any of the beautiful scenery.
I went for a night climb with a friend, and there were a lot of people, so there's no need to worry.
📝Tips:
1. It might be a good idea to bring a flashlight (although there are lights along the way, some are broken and it can get very dark during a night climb)
2. It's a good idea to bring a suitable amount of water, but make sure to bring 2 bottles
3. There are no tents or resting places at the top of the mountain (you have to go to Baihe Peak to rest, you can find a place without wind to sit down)
4. It's definitely worth buying a walking stick, it makes the hike much easier
5. Remember to buy a raincoat, there is a lot of moisture at the mountain top
6. Remember to bring a down jacket for the night climb (you can put it on when you reach the 'Hero Slope' and climb slowly, it's really cold)
7. Bring a hat (the wind is so strong it feels like your ears might blow away)
8. When descending the mountain at night, you can take a cable car for part of the way (it's best to take the lower section, which goes directly to the foot of the mountain)
9. There are few restaurants at the foot of the mountain, and they are a bit expensive (Shaxian dumplings cost eight yuan)

🌟Highlights:
🌄When you set foot on this land, you will be shocked by the endless mountain ranges. The undulating mountains, like the spine of the earth, bear the traces of the years.
☁️Walking in the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, it's like being in a fairyland. Every step is like a conversation with nature, feeling its heartbeat and breath.
🌅At sunrise, the red sun slowly rises from the sea of clouds, and its light spills over the earth, making everything so beautiful and sacred.
🌟At night, the stars twinkle like bright gems in the sky. Lying in the tent, looking up at the endless starry sky, it's as if you can hear the whispers of the universe.
🥾Wugong Mountain is not just a mountain, it is also a sentiment, a longing for freedom and beauty.
The weather on the mountain top during the Labor Day holiday was too harsh, with foggy conditions, and the beautiful meadows could often only be glimpsed by luck, but there were still a lot of people. I suggest choosing a non-weekend to go.
The hiking route is as follows:
Day 1 Longshan Village Erzi Head Mountain Villa - Wufa Inn
Day 2 Wufa Inn - Golden Summit - Descent
Little tips:
Rent a car/charter a car to Longshan Village Erzi Head Mountain Villa, don't just go to the village entrance, usually, the drivers know.
Some inns on the mountain sell gas canisters, you can call to inquire first, so you don't have to carry them from the bottom of the mountain. The Ailuke 230g gas canister I bought at the foot of the mountain was 25 yuan.
During the off-season, many supply points and inns are not open, so it's recommended to prepare drinking water and road meals in advance, and to book inns in advance.
Although Wugong Mountain is not very high, there are many places where the climbing intensity is quite strong, with repeated ascents and descents, which is not simple. It is suggested to start early and plan the travel time well.
The signal on the mountain is sometimes good and sometimes bad, so it's recommended to prepare some cash.
The route is mature, but there are still some forks, so it's better to download offline maps in advance, although you can find the way by following the trash.
Be sure to wear anti-slip and wear-resistant hiking shoes, I still saw friends wearing sports shoes on the road, which is really a bit dangerous.
For friends with myopia, on foggy days, it's recommended to wear contact lenses, as the air is quite moist and glasses won't be very dry.
