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🌱.
🔷 Golden Wugong Mountain: From November to April🌾.
🔷 White Wugong Mountain: Higher chances from January to February❄.
⭕ 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

Perfect Meadows
Always lingering clouds and mist over the grass, took us to Wugong Mount located in 📍 Jiangxi province. 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.

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)

This wave of beautiful scenery celebrates the nation's birthday, and it's simply stunning. Both sunrise and sunset are accompanied by the sea of clouds, unfolding a scene full of blessings and beautiful aspirations like a scroll.
- Star-gazing and welcoming the sunrise: The Milky Way is comfortable in the clear autumn night sky. Looking up to find the position of each constellation, tranquility is the theme song of the night.

🍽Dining Recommendations:
- National Day Barbecue Market: During the National Day period, a gourmet barbecue market is launched at Shigusi Square, a must-pass for climbing Wugong Mountain. The top 5 barbecues favored by millions of hikers nationwide are displayed here.
🚉Travel Tips:
- External Transportation:
- Train: You can choose to take the train to Pingxiang Station or Pingxiang North Station. Both places are about the same distance from Wugong Mountain, about an hour's drive. You can also take a 27 yuan bus, or carpool, 30 yuan per person.
- Internal Transportation:
- Scenic Area Shuttle: After arriving at the Tourist Center, you can take a free shuttle bus to the foot of the mountain.
- Level One Cableway: From the foot of the mountain to Ziji Palace, you can take the Level One Zhong'an Cableway.
🏨Hotel Environment:
- Tents: Near the summit of Wugong Mountain, you can rent tents, rest in them at night, and enjoy the beautiful starry sky and sunrise. It is recommended to bring your own disposable bed cover.
- Mountain Inns: There are many beautiful mountain inns to choose from in Wugong Mountain, such as Taoyuan Mountain Residence, Clouds Blooming, Wugong Mountain Hot Spring Junlan Resort, Puyuan Hot Spring Hotel, Caomu Chun·Mufeng Mountain Wild Homestay, etc.
🌟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.

To climb Wugong Mountain, you must keep this detailed guide in mind‼️ The average cost from Changsha to Pingxiang and then to Wugong Mountain is about 450 yuan💰. You can choose to take the high-speed train, which costs 48 yuan from Changsha to Pingxiang and takes about 27 hours. After getting off the train, head to the Wugong Mountain Tourist Center, where you can choose to take a private car🚘, which costs 30 yuan per person; a bus🚌 costs 27 yuan per person; and at night, it's 40 yuan per person.

day2: Descend
Golden Summit➡️Meadow Boat➡️Lovers' Gallery➡️Echo Valley➡️Wishing Stone➡️Dianjiangtai➡️Shigu Temple Square➡️Zhong'an Cableway➡️Take the bus back to the scenic area
🔸The Golden Summit is an excellent spot to watch the sunrise🌅, but if you find climbing too tiring, you can skip the glass walkway and the Sky Mirror.🔸The Sky Mirror and glass walkway at Guanyin Dang are very beautiful, but the sunrise view may not be as stunning as at the Golden Summit😉.
For accommodation🏠: Tent (starting price) Guanyin Dang 113 yuan💰, Baihe Peak 123 yuan💰, Golden Summit 128 yuan💰, hotel prices range from 300 yuan to 700 yuan💰. Be sure to book in advance, as it's generally not available on the day‼️ You can also bring some items yourself.

7️⃣It's not recommended to carry too much food, just enough is good, otherwise, it's too heavy and climbing will be very difficult😉.

Wugong Mountain Two-Day Reverse Trek Forest Breathing in the Rain
Wugong Mountain reverse trek two-day tour in the rain
Day 1: 9:30-17:30 (about 14 kilometers)
Longshan Village Erzitou - Yangjiao Jian - Fayunjie - Qianzhangyan - The first half of the trek to Wufa Inn is hot and humid - the second half is advancing in the rain with muddy conditions and extremely low visibility, not knowing the road ahead, just keep climbing, which is the painful entrance fee (10 yuan) to the mountain. Wufa Inn (double room 200, quad room 160) didn't see much scenery along the way, but at sunset, it was a surprise to see the sea of clouds, the afterglow of the sunset, the fleeting moon, and the lights below the mountain. At that moment, I felt life was worthwhile
Day 2: 7:00-15:00 (17 kilometers)
Wufa Inn - Despair Slope - Diaomazhuang - Golden Summit - Hiking down the mountain (three hours)
Setting off in the morning, Despair Slope gave a surprise with the sea of clouds and alpine meadows, and in a blink, it was another day of rain and fog
Starting is always more interesting than yearning!
Even though the route is mature, you still need to assess your strength, understand your physical condition, check the weather, and ensure your own safety
Met many people along the way, encouraging each other, a word of encouragement is the greatest motivation, thanks to Brother Dong for accompanying all the way, thanks to the sisters who stayed with us for the warm baby and cold medicine
Picking up 60 bottles can be exchanged for a medal at the foot of the mountain
Jacques Predovic MD
Youth has no price tag, my legs tremble from the top of the mountain to the bottom
Wugong Mountain⛰ is a 390-kilometer journey, a hike to an altitude of 1918 meters, sunrise, sea of clouds, meadows, blue sky, white clouds, all the trekking through mountains and rivers is worth it.
Once you come, you will fall in love with it, it's really stunning❤️

🔸𝘿𝙖𝙮 2: Going down the mountain
Golden Summit→Baihe Peak→Wanbao Cabinet→Diaoma Post→Guanyin Dang→Haohan Slope→Shigusi Square→Scenic area entrance to take a private car out
❗For those who want to challenge themselves, you can hike the whole way (inhuman), if you don't have the physical strength, it's recommended to take two cable cars (you will still walk a short distance), but personally, I think since you're here, you definitely should experience climbing the mountain~
.
🍜About dining
There are many restaurants at the entrance of the scenic area, the prices are not as expensive as I imagined and are acceptable, the prices on the mountain are slightly higher
It's suggested to eat at the foot of the mountain, and then buy dry food in advance to deal with dinner and breakfast on the mountain~
.
🏡Accommodation Strategy
Tent or hotel, choose one, if the weather is good you can stay in a tent, if the weather is bad, you must stay in a hotel!
Tent: Ordinary tents 100+ very thin, if it's windy at night you will question life, the best tents 500+, you can lie in bed and watch the stars
Hotel: There are a total of 5 on the mountain, with an average price of 300~600, basically you can take a hot shower but need a hot water card, some charge and some are free
Small 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬
🔸The weather is very important!!! You will know what is called despair and heaven on earth
🔸Comfortable sports shoes are very important, I wore old shoes that I don't want anymore, even if they get wet, I can throw them away after going down the mountain
🔸Just in case, prepare a raincoat, 10 yuan at the foot of the mountain, 20 yuan on the mountain
🔸Buy shoe covers for 15 yuan at the foot of the mountain, if not used, you can return them
🔸There is hot water and toilets on the mountain
🔸For those with limited physical strength, it is recommended to choose between Guanyin Dang and Golden Summit
🔸It's cold and damp in the tent at night, bringing a warm baby will be much more comfortable
🔸For those who don't climb mountains often, it's recommended to take the first level cableway, otherwise, you need to climb for 5 hours, with the cableway it's 2 hours
🔸If you want to watch the sunrise, it's recommended to choose the Baihe Peak area, which is very close to the Golden Summit, and the wind is smaller than at the Golden Summit
🔸When checking the weather, don't search for Pingxiang, search for "Wugong Mountain Scenic Area" as the weather on the mountain is variable due to the high altitude
🔸It's not recommended to carry too much food, just enough, otherwise it's too heavy and climbing is hard
🔸Check the sunrise🌅sunset times in the weather forecast in advance
Packing for the trip🎒:
Thick and lightweight jacket, toiletries, sunscreen, power bank, mosquito repellent spray, toilet paper, water (carry two bottles), food (snacks to stave off hunger, instant noodles, small bread🍞, chocolate🍫, self-heating meals), sunglasses, hat

A once-in-a-lifetime trip to Wugong Mountain! Checked in
It's really hot during the climb, but it's very cold when waiting at the summit, extremely cold. It's recommended to wear a windbreaker or a fleece liner, or bring some hand warmers.
Be aware that the last cable car is at 5:30 pm, don't be fooled. Many people traveling with me were deceived, buying tickets only to find there was no cable car.
The whole journey on foot takes about six hours. If you only take one cable car ride, it's suggested to take the first one as it covers the longest and steepest part of the journey.
The descent by cable car requires a long wait; we went when it was less crowded and still waited for about an hour.
