Niubei Mountain

牛背山

Niubei Mountain got its name because there is a huge rock protruding from the cliff on the top of the mountain that looks like a bull's head, and the slender ridge looks like a bull's back. It is known as "China's largest observation deck."
The sea of ​​clouds on Niubei Mountain is dense and even, magnificent and gentle, and the waterfall clouds that can be seen everywhere are like the "Hallelujah Mountain" in Avatar, making people feel like they are walking in the air.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can not only enjoy the panoramic view of the King of Shu Mountains, but also the famous mountains and ridges of the Land of Abundance, such as Mount Emei, Mount Siguniang and Mount Erlang. If you are lucky, you can also see the Golden Mountain in the Sunlight.
Accommodation on Niubei Mountain is relatively convenient. There are many large tents built by Tibetans for accommodation. The conditions on the mountain are relatively harsh.
Before setting out for Niubei Mountain, be sure to ask the inn in advance whether you can drive up the mountain. If there is snow on the top of the mountain and the road is icy, the car will stop at "Yunhai Renjia" and you will need to hike for 2-3 hours up the mountain.

Transportation:
Niubei Mountain is located in Piaoergou, Sanhe Township, Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, about 180 kilometers away from Chengdu.
To get to Niubei Mountain, you mainly take a bus from Chengdu. You need to first arrive at the foot of Niubei Mountain in Ya'an or Lenqi Town, and then choose to drive, hike or charter a car to the mountain. However, Ya'an and Lenqi Town are the hubs of different routes. Sanhe Township and Lenqi Town are the foot of the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain respectively, and the Street Garden is the meeting point of the three routes.
①Car:
Chengdu-Lengqi Town
Take the bus to Hailuogou from Chengdu Xinnanmen Bus Station. The departure time is 9:30 every day and the fare is about 135 yuan per person. Before getting on the bus, you need to tell the driver to get off at Lenqi Town.
Lenqi Town-Niubei Mountain
You can choose to charter a car or walk there. The cost of a charter car is about 1,300 yuan round trip, and the journey takes about 4 hours. Since the road conditions to Niubei Mountain are really bad, it will be bumpy along the way. If you have symptoms such as motion sickness, please prepare medicine in advance.
② Self-driving:
1. Chengdu - Yingjing (highway) - Siping (national highway) - Sanhe Township - Niubei Mountain (mountain road)
2. Chengdu - Ya'an - Gangudi - Lengzi Town - Brick and Tile Factory - Meiping - Yunhai Renjia - Niubei Mountain
As the road conditions up the mountain are very bad, it is recommended to drive an off-road vehicle or a car with a high chassis. From December to March of the following year, it is the winter control period of Niubei Mountain. During this period, Sanhe Township closes the road to Niubei Mountain.
③Charter:
The difference between chartering a car is whether you charter a car at the foot of the mountain or in Chengdu. Currently, the round-trip fare from Lengqi Town to the top of the mountain is 1,200-1,500 yuan per car. The round-trip fare from Chengdu to Lengqi Town is about 2,000 yuan per person, and can accommodate 8 people.

The weather was bad, but I had a lot of fun along the way. I hope I can climb Niubei Mountain again if I have the chance.

On the way to Niubei Mountain, I went there after the snow, it was beautiful!

Beauty always carries a hint of invasiveness, but if it doesn’t invade, how can it convince people?

By There is no me in the world anymore |

I went to Niubei Mountain on October 2. I don't recommend going there before the Niubei Mountain scenic area is fully developed. First, the journey is too long (Chengdu → Luding → Lenqi → Dengjun Zhangjia → Pumaidi → Jinding), second, the path is too difficult to walk on rainy days, third, the top of the mountain is too foggy and you can't see anything, and fourth, the mountain is closed. It's snowing heavily on the mountain recently, which is dangerous.

By Random wind |

The mountain is still closed, and the trail is not easy to walk on. The security guards and villagers have their own plans. It is recommended to wear hiking shoes and do not go up the mountain alone at night!

By Hidden |

It has been all over the circle of friends in the past few years. The sea of ​​clouds, sunrise, Buddha's light... a 360-degree observation deck. The most important reason is that it is free... Of course, this was 15 years ago. In 2015, it was bought by a travel company and developed in a closed manner. No outside vehicles were allowed to enter. However, there are countermeasures to every policy, so the travel company directly demolished all the accommodation on the mountain.

There are two roads to go up Niubei Mountain, one is Lengi and the other is Xingjing. I couldn’t tell them apart before I came here. My companion had gone up from Xingjing before and it took two days, which was not very convenient. The advantage of Lengi is that there is a bus to Yujingou in the middle, which can save several kilometers and reach the top of the mountain in one day.

So my companions and I took the bus to Yujingou early in the morning. When we arrived at Yujingou, we found that the local youth hostel was closed. We took the small road and the main road to the Pumaidi Station, which was also closed. It seems that Niubei Mountain is really cold.

The whole way is climbing up, and there are many small paths. It is recommended to use an outdoor assistant or something like that, so that the track can be exported even without signal. Soon after going up, traces of ice and snow appeared one after another, but there was no trace of development at all. Later, I heard that the travel company had just made a plan but had not yet implemented it. It seems that it will be a long process to wait for the scenic spot to be repaired and developed. After climbing for several hours, I finally met a group of tourists coming down the mountain. I learned that there was only one accommodation up there, and it was still 2 hours away from the top of the mountain.

Strictly speaking, there are only two accommodation options on Niubei Mountain. If the leader of a travel agency happens to be inspecting (bringing people up to play), you are not allowed to stay there. There are also security guards on the road at ordinary times, and tourists are not allowed to go up the mountain or they will be "fined".

By I six seven |

The current Niubei Mountain is not as primitive as it used to be, and the road to the mountain has become a building made of many pieces of wood (there are still restrictions on the number of people going up the mountain, and the key is that the price is several hundred yuan more expensive. Fortunately, I did not choose to go this time. When I came back, I heard that people who set out to Niubei Mountain at the same time had a bad experience, and search and rescue personnel were mobilized.

Before I went to Hongyanding, I thought the accommodation conditions in Niubei were very poor, but now I think it is very good.

By Yang Yanzhe |

Niubei Mountain is the first stop of my hiking trip. After returning from Niubei Mountain, I will never look at the clouds again!

By Wu Tailang |

Niubei Mountain is located in Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, with an altitude of 3,600m. It enjoys the reputation of "China's largest viewing platform" and "excellent photography holy land" with 360-degree all-round views. It is an excellent location for photographing and viewing the King of Shu Mountains - Gongga Mountain. I have been to Niubei Mountain four times, both by off-road and hiking. The view at the top of Niubei Mountain is extremely open, with an excellent 360-degree viewing experience. The unique sea of ​​clouds, the golden mountain in the sun, the Milky Way starry sky, and the snow-capped mountain Buddha light of Niubei Mountain will definitely give you an ultimate experience of shocking vision.

By Butterfly Love Flower |

I have been to Niubei Mountain twice, both times by car. The views are different, but they can all be described in one word: stunning. The 360-degree viewing platform is particularly spectacular, and the sea of ​​clouds, snow-capped mountains, sunset, starry sky, and sunrise are all amazing. Niubei Mountain is famous because of its rugged roads. Ordinary cars can't go up there at all, so more people choose to hike or charter a car to go there. And it's also a place where luck counts.

By The wandering groundhog |

I have been there twice, once in summer and once in winter. In summer, I took an off-road vehicle to the mountain, and in winter, I hiked up there. It is very cold in winter, but the snow scenery is very beautiful. The altitude is about 3,800 meters, and it is normal to have a headache at night. You can see the sea of ​​clouds along the way, and there is also a sea of ​​clouds at night. In the evening, you will see the golden mountain in the sun. In the morning, you can see the beautiful sunrise and Buddha's light. You must go to Niubei Mountain once in your life. Hiking is very good, and the scenery you see after being tired is even more beautiful.

By Qinling 007 |

Niubei Mountain is located in Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. The top of the mountain is 3,660 meters above sea level. The road from Lengzi Town to the top of the mountain is very bad. You must drive an off-road vehicle to go up. I have seen people driving a CRV to the top of the mountain. The car owner wanted to cry because the chassis was bumped halfway and turned back down the mountain. I went there twice. The first time I stayed for one night and nothing happened. The second time I didn't see the sunrise, but I finally took some photos. The scenery is beautiful. It's very cold at the top of the mountain. If you go there, bring more warm clothes. The accommodation and food conditions at the top of the mountain are very poor.

By Cn wants to wander |

I have been to so many mountains, but I still love Niubei Mountain the most.

Maybe it was my first time hiking on this mountain, or maybe it was just too beautiful.

I think it's more that every experience leaves a deep impression on me, so no matter how beautiful other mountains are, I still love Niubei Mountain.

By Host of Time |

Although it was foggy and rainy when we went there, and we didn't see the starry sky and the spectacular sea of ​​clouds, the weather cannot negate the scenery of Niubei Mountain. The friends who stayed on the top of the mountain in the next few days still looked forward to the clear sky and the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds. Now the mountain is closed for construction of the scenic area, and the mountaintop inn has been demolished, which is a pity, but the process of climbing the mountain is tiring but very happy, and I don't regret this journey.

By Old Stamp Fans-Follow Me |

The scenery is amazing, but the mountain is now closed for development. If you go there again, you must bring enough money.

By Spareribs |

Climbing Niubei Mountain is the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. I may have a chance to surpass it in the future. However, when it comes to meeting scenery that I have never seen before, there is no such thing as surpassing it. I met a group of the cutest friends. I usually do not exercise, but Lao Liu dragged me up the mountain. I was probably moved but more likely aggrieved. I cried as soon as I got up. However, a boy ran over and said that it was altitude sickness, and I felt relieved. If only my heart was stronger. I don't know if it will really be developed in the future. I really want to go again. I hope it will still be so naturally beautiful. You must stay at the commander's house.

By zzzzzz |

The scenery of Niubei Mountain is beyond doubt. The top of the mountain is surrounded by mountains. It is a place to see the King of Shu Mountains, Gongga Mountain, and overlook the beautiful mountains such as Emei Mountain, Siguniang Mountain, Erlang Mountain, and Jiajin Mountain. The famous mountains have made Niubei Mountain's 360-degree viewing platform the largest viewing platform in Asia. Niubei Mountain has six wonders: sunrise, sea of ​​clouds, Buddha's light, snow-capped mountains, star tracks, and sunset.

Best time to climb: April to May is the best season to climb Niubei Mountain. The weather is slightly warmer, and the air is dry at the top of Niubei Mountain, which is 3,600 meters above sea level. There is relatively less foggy weather, which is the best time of the year to view the magnificent sea of ​​clouds at Niubei Mountain.

June to September is the rainy season, which is the off-season; September is basically the peak season, especially during short holidays and weekends, it is best to book an inn in advance. After November, there may be hidden ice on the road, so tourists who are not familiar with the road conditions or are not confident in their skills should choose to drive or ride carefully.

Note: The weather in Niubei Mountain changes greatly. Before departure, it is best to call the owner of the accommodation to ask about the weather conditions and do not trust the weather forecast.

By The red panda |

It is worth a visit in a lifetime. The sea of ​​clouds, starry sky and sunrise are said to be more suitable in April and May, but the mountain is closed now.

By All over the mountains |

The first time I went there was on May 25, 2014. After booking the car, we set off at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at the foot of the mountain at 1:30 in the afternoon. After lunch, we started to climb the mountain at 2:30. The weather along the way was very good. We saw the snow-capped mountains for the first time halfway up the mountain. Just when we were about to reach the top of the mountain, a huge cloud appeared above our heads. At that time, the driver said to us: "If we can break through this cloud, then we can see everything first, and we can see everything. If we can't break through, it's like everything is in the cloud and we can't see anything..."

The fact is just as the driver said, after going up the mountain, you can't see anything five meters away, and it feels like it's drizzling. After staying there for another night, it was still like this the next day. Due to time constraints, after discussing with a few friends, we went down the mountain>> and decided to come back later (Niubei Mountain is really a place where luck counts)

The second time was around January 20, 2015. Although the weather was cold in this season, the climate was relatively stable. There were also few people going up the mountain in this season. I couldn’t find anyone else going up the mountain that day, so I went up the mountain alone. The transportation was also very simple. I rented a motorcycle from a local villager to go up the mountain, which was also a unique experience.

When we were almost at the top of the mountain, we found an old man chopping wood nearby. The driver introduced him to me as the owner of the inn on the mountain. So I followed him to the top of the mountain. When I got off the car, there was still fog all around. The owner took me for about an hour and finally we were almost at the top of the mountain. I have to say that it was really tiring to be at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. I had to rest after walking a few steps. Finally, when we were almost at the top of the mountain, we broke through the fog. Only then did I realize what a 360-degree viewing platform was.

By Light as water |

The side of Niubei Mountain facing the Qingyi River has a wide view and magnificent sea of ​​clouds. It is known as "China's largest viewing platform" and is an excellent photography destination.

By Mountains and rivers leap into the sea |

The accommodation is average, the toilet is terrible. The scenery is five stars. It is probably going to be developed into a tourist attraction. Whether you can see the scenery you want to see when you go to Niubei is completely a matter of luck and luck. Nothing else.

By Big Sheep |

Climbing the mountain is tiring and the road is difficult to walk on, but when you reach the top, the starry sky, sunrise and sea of ​​clouds are worth it!

By Liu Liu |

We went there in January this year and were really lucky. The weather was bad for the next few days. The sun was shining brightly on the day we climbed up the mountain. We could see the sea of ​​clouds and sunrise the next day. It was worth the 8-hour climb. Don't hold out hope for the conditions up there. It's good enough to have food and accommodation.

By Blue Lotus |

The Milky Way rises in the late night in spring. On such a clear mountaintop, I once again saw what it means to be as brilliant as the stars. It is even more dense and dazzling than what I saw on Huangshan several years ago. The large light track of the Milky Way lies clearly and quietly in the sky. The brilliance of the starry sky further contrasts the darkness of the night. As the sun jumps out of the sky, dozens of snow-capped mountains around Niubei Mountain are sprinkled with a layer of golden light. The 7,556-meter-high King of Shu Mountains—Gongga Snow Mountain is to the west, accompanied by flag clouds that seem to be half-covered by a pipa. How beautiful! How magnificent! The clouds around Niubei Mountain accumulate into a sea, which is endless, with undercurrents surging but calm. Standing on the top of the mountain, it seems like a fairy dream, not knowing where you are? The sea of ​​clouds is so dense and heavy that it makes people want to walk in the clouds.

It’s been a tough journey, but I’ve gained a lot and had many unprecedented experiences!

By lxqAutumn |

You can see the sea of ​​clouds, the sunrise, and the snow-capped mountains. You can do all these at Niubei Mountain. The beautiful scenery does not need too many words to describe. The altitude of 3,660 meters also requires great perseverance to climb up, but everything is worth it.

By Sour mold juice |

You won't regret coming here, but you'll regret not coming here. I'll definitely go there again next time.

By Park Mimi |

The road was absolutely terrible, the scenery was absolutely beautiful, the sea of ​​clouds was absolutely spectacular, and it is hard to describe in words; the sunrise was so beautiful that it was worth getting up early and waiting for an hour in the cold wind; it snowed that night, and I was sorry that I didn't see the starry sky; going down the mountain was simply a life-threatening experience. As there was a lot of hidden ice on the road, every car had to be very careful. We also changed to anti-skid chains halfway because we kept slipping. In short, it was the most thrilling road we have ever walked, no doubt about it.

By Just follow the example |

I heard about Niubei Mountain a few years ago. It is an unexpected surprise for motorcycle enthusiasts. In addition to the beautiful scenery, it is more of a legendary outdoor experience. The year before last, I heard that several college students were going to Niubei Mountain for an outdoor donkey trip and felt that the conditions were difficult. Later, I consulted various information, guides, and travel notes, and I had the urge to hike. I planned to go there on May Day this year. Because this is the most beautiful season, because the mountain is about to be closed, I will get old if I don’t set off. Sure enough, the trip was worth it, an unexpected surprise, and it was just after the rain and snow, proving that I have good character.

By Jing Road T |

Niubei Mountain is very beautiful, but it requires luck. I didn't have good luck and didn't see anything. The sea of ​​clouds and the rising sun make me excited. I look forward to the next time.

By Idiot or hungry |

I went with several classmates. As for the scenery, we were lucky. We saw the sunrise, the sea of ​​clouds, the starry sky, and the Golden Summit. As for the service, I don't know if it was because of bad luck. We met a local tyrant and were ripped off for 1,800 yuan. We booked his car, but he insisted that we had to stay in his inn if we booked the car, otherwise he would beat us up and we couldn't get off. To be honest, don't stay at the Sunrise Inn in Niubei Mountain. The local tyrants are ruthless and even ripped off students. In short, the scenery of Niubei Mountain can definitely be said to be world-class, but it has not been developed yet. It can be called a real wild mountain. There is no mountain gate, no tickets, dirt roads, goat paths, simple inns, and tents. This is exactly its charm. It is a paradise for hikers, cyclists, and photography enthusiasts. It's just a remote place, so everyone should pay attention to personal safety.

By Xiaoyi |

I went to Niubei Mountain on February 19th. At that time, they said that the mountain would be closed in March. As a result, it is still open now. I don’t know why so many people go to Niubei Mountain and look forward to it. Maybe it’s because of the saying that if you don’t go now, you will have to wait for 3 years. Of course, I went there because of that saying. It was the first time I saw so much snow. The branches were covered with snow. It was really beautiful. My friend took a car because of altitude sickness, so I climbed up with my friends on the road. We started from the Changhaizi and reached the top of the mountain in more than five hours. It was okay at first, but then I had a severe headache and felt uncomfortable. This should be the so-called altitude sickness. I measured my heart rate with a Xiaomi bracelet and it was over 160. I was scared to death. I even doubted whether I would die here. Fortunately, I survived, hahaha. There is a saying that is particularly true: Fortunately, I went there and fortunately I came back alive.

By Upper sense particles |

It took us ten hours to get here after overcoming many obstacles, and we experienced many thrills and dangers. Finally, we reached the top, and looked out over the mountains. The clouds were circling the vast sky, and we were filled with joy. Du Fu wrote in his poem: "My heart is filled with clouds, and my eyes are filled with returning birds. I will climb to the top of the mountain and see all the other mountains as small." I have to admit that I initially viewed mountaineering as a kind of conquest, which began at the foot and ended at the top of the head. The feeling when I finally stood on the top of the mountain was completely different. I admired the grandeur of nature and the insignificance of human beings. The reason why people succeeded in climbing the mountain was just because nature showed mercy to them. They should be in awe of their achievements.

By Yang Xiao7 |

One word: beautiful! Two words: very beautiful! Three words: extremely beautiful! It's worth going once and worth going a second time. The luck on the day I went there was neither good nor bad. I saw the sea of ​​clouds but not the starry sky and sunset. I will try to go again!

By Solid content |

The scenery of this place is definitely rare in the world, but the weather at the top of the mountain is unpredictable every day, and whether you can see the beautiful sea of ​​clouds depends on luck. In addition, the conditions at the top of the mountain are quite harsh, so if you plan to travel there, be fully prepared!

Niubei Mountain is great. You can go up there by car, but climbing up there is more difficult.

The facilities at the top of the mountain are poor, but that's understandable.

The scenery all depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you can see the cloud waterfall, sunrise and golden mountain in the sun. If you are unlucky, there is nothing you can do.

By yumeng |

Although I did not see the stunning beauty of Niubei Mountain, I still felt its grandeur, the sea of ​​clouds, and the snow-capped mountains. I believe that no place can compare to this place, and I will go there again.

By ruiwu0910 |

Before we set off, a friend told me that there would be a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival, and we might not be able to see the sea of ​​clouds on Niubei Mountain. But I went up there and found that my luck was really good. The endless sea of ​​clouds made me want to lie down on it and have a good sleep. The stars at night seemed within reach. In the morning, my friends and I wrapped ourselves in quilts to watch the sunrise. The sunrise on the mountain is always much gentler than the sunrise on the sea, because there are clouds and fog, so it is not so dazzling. The snow-capped mountains opposite are also glowing with golden light. I think this is the time of the day when the light is the best, so I can take as many photos as I want.

Niubei Mountain is located in Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, bordering Luding County. It is a branch of Erlang Mountain and the watershed between Qingyi River and Dadu River. The highest peak is 3,660 meters above sea level!

Before 2009, Niubei Mountain was unknown. Because of the mining, it was simply called the Big Mine Mountain. Until 2009, the "National Geographic of China" magazine held a "Beauty China" event. In order to photograph the Gongga Snow Mountain, which ranks second among the most beautiful mountains in China, photographer Lv Linglong reached the top of Niubei Mountain under the guidance of local people. The top of Niubei Mountain is a 360-degree unobstructed platform. Because it looks like a cow's back, Lv Linglong called it Niubei Mountain in the article. Niubei Mountain is famous as the best place to photograph Gongga Snow Mountain, and because of its natural 360-degree panoramic view, it is called "the most beautiful viewing platform in Asia". Since then, it has entered people's field of vision, attracting travelers and photographers from all walks of life, and has become famous.

Niubei Mountain will soon be closed for tourism development, and is expected to be open during the National Day holiday in 2018. According to the scenic area development plan, Niubei Mountain will have a mountaintop viewing platform, a cable car, and a series of tourist facilities in three years. Niubei Mountain is no longer a beautiful place with wildness and freedom that you can go to whenever you want, but has become a scenic spot that requires tickets to enter. Hurry up and set off!

The conditions on the top of the mountain are very bad, there is no electricity and no signal! Accommodation is generally dormitory, and some inns have WIFE.

Niubei Mountain, after 10 hours of hiking, seeing the sky full of stars and the sea of ​​clouds is enough. People walk through the clouds and mist, step by step to the top of the mountain, watching the clouds floating under their feet and moving with the wind.

I have to say that Niubei Mountain is really a place where luck is a factor... But the scenery is absolutely amazing~~~ I recommend everyone to go and see it...

By Or because |

I don't know what it will be like after the development. I won't go there again because of the altitude sickness~

Niubei Mountain is a place that has not been developed yet and is very suitable for hikers. You can hike up the mountain or take a local off-road vehicle. There are two routes into the mountain. It takes half a day to get up by car, and a day to hike. The road is very difficult to walk. You can see my picture. If you encounter a landslide, there is basically no road. The top of the mountain is really beautiful, especially the sea of ​​clouds and waterfalls. I also met many local people on the top of Foguang Mountain. The cabin inn Xingchen Inn is not bad. There are detailed hiking guides online. If you take a car, you can take the sea of ​​clouds or the street garden. It is not far from the top of the mountain. There is a shortcut that takes 40 minutes. If you don’t know, you have to walk for two hours. I went there twice. It is very beautiful. It is not recommended to drive by yourself. The road is too bad. There have been many things there. If you really want to take a car, take a local car and charter a car with several people.

The scenery is first-rate, but since it has not been developed yet, there is no quality service to speak of, and the road surface is extremely poor, but because of this, the scenery is naturally beautiful.

It's a great place. I didn't see the starry sky and sunrise, which is a pity. I hope to go there again. I hiked up the mountain for about eight hours. But I didn't feel tired.

The road was really difficult. The main road was too long and the small road was dangerous! Most of the time, we chose the small road, which was covered with snow and had beautiful scenery along the way. The most regrettable thing was that because of the snow, all the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain was not seen as expected.

Gongga's beautiful viewing platform, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, groves, starry sky, cloud waterfalls... a holy place for outdoor hiking. Niubei Mountain is currently undergoing two years of development, and all facilities on the mountain have been evacuated. It is not recommended to sneak up the mountain, so wait a little longer.

The impression that Niubei Mountain gave me is that it is really the same as the legend. It is definitely a place that tests your luck. Some people can see all the beautiful scenery the first time they go there, while some people can't see it even after going several times. Also, the road to Niubei Mountain is really bad and dangerous. You need to pay special attention to safety when driving up there. Visibility is very low in fog. It is very windy and cold on the top of the mountain. After all, it is 3600+, so bring all the equipment.

The scenery is endless and you will never want to leave. The clouds, waterfalls, sunset, starry sky, sunrise, Buddha light, Gongga Mountain, a veritable 360-degree viewing platform, highly recommended

By Teddy Bear |

Asia's largest 360° panoramic viewing platform, 3,660 meters above sea level. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it has been loved by photography enthusiasts, hiking enthusiasts, and senior tourists since its discovery. Now you can hike up the mountain, and there are accommodation options on the top of the mountain. Vehicles may soon be banned from the mountain because of the recent closure of Niubei Mountain for development, which is expected to be in mid-2016, so if you want to go, hurry up. There is no light pollution on the top of the mountain. If you are lucky, you can see the sea of ​​clouds, cloud waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, starry sky, sunrise, sunset, and Buddha's light all at once. From November to February of the following year in winter, the weather is relatively sunny and easier to see. In summer, it rains a lot and there are lightning strikes, so you must pay attention to safety. However, the starry sky in summer is definitely more beautiful, and the sea of ​​clouds will be more spectacular, but often due to weather reasons, it may not be sunny again in a month. At present, you can hike up the mountain from Yujingou Village through the street garden-sea of ​​clouds to the top of the mountain, which takes about 7-10 hours. You can also hike from Changhaizi through the street garden-sea of ​​clouds to the top of the mountain, which takes about 5-7 hours. In winter, you will travel through the mountains with rime all around you. As long as you can overcome the cold and altitude sickness, all that will be left is the beautiful scenery. If you can have this experience, I believe you will have no regrets in your life.

Niubei Mountain is about to be closed for development, and will not be open to the public until October 2018. If you want to go, you'd better go early. Otherwise, I really have to say: Niubei Mountain, we will never see each other again.

The six quatrains are really beautiful.

By impression. |

Just give a thumbs up for a minute~~~~



Super beautiful viewing platform.

But it will be developed in the next two years.

I still like the original look the most~~

By Groom |

The scenery is really amazing, but the public facilities are not perfect yet. It is worth a visit.

By Torn Paradise |

Everyone knows about Niubei. Everyone knows about the sea of ​​clouds and snow-capped mountains.

Niubei Mountain has become popular since Lv Linglong's photography works came out. In recent years, it has become more and more popular year by year and has become a hot spot for free scenic spots. However, it will start to be developed recently. The sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain is really well-deserved. Standing on the top of the mountain, it is like being on an island in the ocean, surrounded by clouds. I was lucky to see the sunrise, Buddha's light, Golden Summit, and Cloud Waterfall. This can only be seen in good weather. The top of the mountain is ever-changing. Sometimes the foot of the mountain is overcast, but when you reach the top of the mountain, the clouds and fog dissipate, and it is a beautiful day. Sometimes the foot of the mountain is sunny, but when you reach the top of the mountain, it is foggy. It can be seen that whether you can encounter good weather depends on luck. The owner of the inn on the mountain said that it is rainy season from July to August, so it is best not to go. You can try your luck at other times.

Niubei Mountain in Sichuan-Tibet Tour

The beam on the top of Niubei Mountain covers an area of ​​less than 2 acres, but because there is nothing to block it around, it presents a natural 360° viewing platform, like an isolated island in the sea of ​​clouds, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and surging sea of ​​clouds. To the east, you can see Emei Mountain and Wawu, to the west, Gongga Mountain and Yala Mountain, to the north, Erlang Mountain and Siguniang Mountain. All the famous mountains in Sichuan are in sight!

Since Master Lv Linglong named Niubei Mountain the best viewing platform in China, people have gone to Niubei Mountain to enjoy the snow-capped mountains, watch the cloud waterfalls, and watch the sunrise, forgetting the beauty and grandeur of Niubei Mountain itself. Some people even say that Niubei Mountain is famous because it can see the most beautiful scenery around it. There is nothing to see in Niubei Mountain itself, which is really "not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain". Niubei Mountain's own great beauty and rich connotations are like Confucian Niu, which is not easily shown to others. Many people who have been to Niubei Mountain know that to see snow-capped mountains, cloud waterfalls, and sunrises, in addition to courage and physical strength, it is more about character and luck. Some people have been up four or five times, but because of weather reasons, they did not see the beautiful scenery they wanted to see, let alone the connotation of Niubei Mountain itself. God only favors those who have the best character.

Niubei Mountain is so cool, but it depends on your luck. But I have great luck, haha.

The conditions on Niubei Mountain are quite difficult, but the scenery is worth it. Every moment is a different scenery.

By J-tuegg |

I must go there again before it is developed. I saw some people go there several times and thought it was not necessary. After I went there, I realized it was worth it. When watching the sunrise, you can see snow-capped mountains when you turn around. Maybe Buddha's light will appear behind you at sunrise. The 360-degree viewing platform is awesome!!!

By Zhao Minmin |

It took me seven hours to climb up the mountain and only two hours to get down. My calves were swollen by at least two inches. It was a hassle to walk and go to the toilet. But it was a different experience. I don't regret it because I was young and worked hard to pursue it.

By Devil's Tears |

Climbing a mountain requires sufficient physical strength. The conditions on the mountain are harsh. The sea of ​​clouds and snow-capped mountains are very beautiful, but it is a test of one's character.

Returning from Niubei Mountain in November, I just confirmed the saying that you can’t look at clouds after you return from Niubei Mountain. It was the first time I saw such a beautiful cloud waterfall, and the sea of ​​clouds and snow-capped mountains were like a dream. Niubei Mountain is the most beautiful sea of ​​clouds in the world, no one else. When you take root and sprout in the clouds, or stand on the pilgrimage of the soil, who connects the morning light and the sunset into one piece, weaving a rare style in ordinary days? Who turned all the famous mountains and ridges in the land of abundance into exquisite bonsai, presenting you with a feast of snow-capped mountains and sea of ​​clouds? Standing on the top of Niubei Mountain, you can see the snow-capped mountains and sea of ​​clouds, sunrise and sunset, the boundless starry sky and Milky Way, and the rare Buddha light. Niubei Mountain, I finally conquered you.

It was God's blessing that we had good weather, and saw the sea of ​​clouds, the starry sky, the sunset, and the sunrise; so you really have to pay attention to the weather when traveling. We also took wedding photos that belong to our precious memories, and let our love stay at an altitude of 3,660 meters, and let the snow-capped mountains witness our love. If you don't want to make do, please go to Niubei Mountain. You can refer to my Niubei Mountain hiking guide http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5338242.html, which contains hiking shortcuts and various friendly tips. I hope it can help you with your trip!

The scenery is amazing, but it depends on your luck! I stayed in the mountains for 2 days and it was worth it!

The beautiful scenery of Niubei Mountain is very famous in China, but friends who want to go there should be prepared to rely on their luck.

The viewing platform is very open, and if you are lucky, the scenery is very, very beautiful.
