Live Your Best Lives
Recently, a new way of traveling has emerged!
You Xiaoxia has been saturated with the "college student special forces" travel trend! They visit dozens of attractions a day, sleep only a few hours at night, walk 80,000 steps a day, and have to bring a 512G stomach. The main thing is to "have been there"!
You know what, this is a "new thing" that is completely different from the comfortable, relaxing and vacation-style travel advocated before.

But everything new comes for a reason. In today's fast-paced world, with busy work schedules and short vacations, the urge to travel can't be swayed. So even if there's no time, they still squeeze in some fun, no matter how tiring it may be. This is the true portrayal of today's young people's travel habits.
If you're planning a trip soon, I'd like to recommend a place you can visit for two days—guaranteed to have a blast! You won't have to walk 80,000 steps a day, and it's cheap! The scenery is incredible! And the value for money is incredible!
Walking here feels like walking in the sky, strolling across grasslands in the sky, surrounded by seas of clouds, and under the boundless starry sky... It's like "a southern grassland feast, a worldly paradise." All your worries instantly vanish! It's like stepping into a Hayao Miyazaki anime!

{📍Green meadows, rising clouds, and dazzling stars}
Why do we recommend you go now? Because spring and summer are the most beautiful seasons in Wugong Mountain.
A vast sea of white clouds floats within reach, and the lush green meadows are like a green gem that has fallen into the earth.

370 years ago, Xu Xiake, a renowned Ming Dynasty travel blogger, hiked for over ten days, leaving behind a rare written record of this "nameless mountain." He wrote: "A thousand peaks rise like emerald jade hairpins, the Five Ridges rival Wugong Mountain; the sun-drenched scenery resembles gold at the smelting mill, while travelers walk amidst the shimmering clouds."
When Xu Xiake climbed to the top of the Golden Summit, he discovered the incredible grassland in the clouds and the sea of clouds on the mountain top, and he felt a lot of beauty and shock.
Nearly 100,000 mu (approximately 1,600 acres) of alpine meadows dot the ridges of Wugong Mountain, which has an average elevation of over 1,600 meters. Every spring and summer, the lush meadows transform into thick green grass, blanketing the landscape in vibrant greenery.

The continuous mountains and undulating peaks outline breathtaking arcs. The clouds are within reach, the sky is spotless, and the eyes are full of green. It is really super healing!
In the vast meadow, take a deep breath of fresh mountain air and temporarily forget the fatigue and worries in the city.
The sea of clouds is formed by the accumulation of clouds and mist over hundreds of square kilometers in Wugong Mountain. The clouds and mist are like the elves of Wugong Mountain. With them, Wugong Mountain is full of aura, vitality and mystery.
From November to May of the following year, it is the ideal season to view the sea of clouds in Wugong Mountain. At this time, the probability of encountering the sea of clouds in Wugong Mountain is very high.
The boundless clouds are like being at the shore of the sea, and the rolling sea of clouds is right beside you. You have definitely never experienced the experience of soaking in the sea of clouds.
The setting sun lingered in the distant valley, radiating its unique brilliance to the earth at this time. The sunlight was crimson, with a hint of yellow. The distant mountains were framed with a golden edge by the setting sun, which was particularly beautiful against the dark mountains.
The sunset glow is changing colors, the clouds are changing shapes, the clouds are winding at sunset, and the sunset glow behind them is a testimony of love.
The sunrise is also well worth the wait! As the stars gradually fade in the eastern sky, a crack appears on the horizon, and a few rays of sunlight shoot into the sky. A golden arc breaks through the morning light and rises slowly from the horizon.
The vast red waves illuminate the universe, as if the meadow and the sky are burning fiercely!
Tips:
You can watch the sunrise from Fayunjie to Jinding.
Recommended locations for watching the sunrise: Fayunjie, Despair Slope, and Jinding
After the sun sets, it does not mean that the day is over. The night in Wugong Mountain is still starry and charming enough.
When the weather is good, the Milky Way hangs above your head, and it seems as if you can touch the stars with your hand.
Under the romantic starry sky, in the hazy night, whether you are photographing star trails or lying on the meadow with your lover or good friends to watch the stars, in this moment, it seems as if you have all the romance of the universe and mountains and rivers.
The highest peak of Wugong Mountain, Baihe Peak (Jinding), is 1918.3 meters above sea level. It is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts and an "outdoor holy land in East China."
From the most beginner to the most advanced outdoor enthusiasts, it can attract everyone.
It is said that "five out of every ten people who love the outdoors have been here, and three more are on their way; five out of every ten people who like to travel have heard of it and want to go here."
Not only that, there is also the largest, most extensive and distinctive outdoor tent camping camp in the country, the Wugong Mountain Meadow Starry Sky Outdoor Camp, where you can live in paradise on earth. Are you sure you don’t want to come and experience it?
