Wugong Mountain: Xu Xiake, a Ming Dynasty geographer and traveler, braved the snow and freezing temperatures even in his fifties to ascend White Crane Peak on the Spring Festival of the ninth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign. He spent six days surveying the mountainous landscapes, ancient customs, and people of Wugong Mountain, writing his voluminous, multi-thousand-word "Jiangyou Travel Diary." Unable to contain his heartfelt admiration for Wugong Mountain, the great traveler penned the refreshingly beautiful poem "Wugong Travel": "A thousand peaks rise like emerald jade hairpins, the Five Ridges rival Wugong Mountain. The sun's rays are like a golden shroud, and visitors walk amidst the radiant clouds."

Wugong Mountain's most spectacular sights are the 100,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of alpine meadows in the Jinding Baihe Peak scenic area and the Longtan Waterfall in the Santianmen scenic area. The towering peaks resemble a lion with glaring eyes, guarding Wugong. The Longtan Waterfall is unfathomable, cascading down in three tumbles, sending up a cascading spray before cascading into the Qingtan Lake with a deafening roar. The first large color photograph in the main hall of the Jiangxi Pavilion at the Kunming World Expo features the Wugong Mountain alpine meadows. The majestic mountains, lush green grass, and overlapping peaks, with white clouds drifting across the vast expanse of green meadows, have become a renowned natural attraction within Wugong Mountain National Forest Park.
