Autumn Surprises at Kongtong Mountain

Autumn Surprises at Kongtong Mountain
The valleys of Kongtong Mountain are adorned in autumn like a dream, with golden leaves like nature’s gentle cloak. A light breeze stirs the red leaves, making them seem to dance with the wind. Standing at the peak, one can’t help but feel: this is what autumn truly looks like!
For this trip to Kongtong Mountain, I’ve prepared this super detailed guide. Sisters, save it quickly and be sure to check it before you set off!
🗺️Route Suggestions:
Depart from the south gate of the scenic area at 8 AM, take the scenic area shuttle bus for about 15 minutes to the cable car station. Enjoy the layered autumn valley views during the cable car ride. A 20-minute walk will bring you to the main peak viewing platform, where the full autumn scenery unfolds.
📍Must-See Spots: Main Peak Viewing Platform, Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform, Red Leaf Forest Trail, Cliffside Walkway
🏞️Main Attractions: Kongtong Mountain Main Peak, Red Leaf Forest, Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform

🛏️Accommodation Recommendation: Homestays at the foot of the mountain for a more authentic experience

🔍Tips: Start early to avoid crowds; avoid light-colored shoes to prevent mud stains; wear bright clothes to complement the red leaves; mountain winds are cold, bring a jacket; download offline maps in advance; bring enough chocolate and water for energy; 10 AM is the best time for photos. If you encounter a sea of clouds, rush to the viewing platform immediately!
