Yunbingshan is located in Nanfeng'ao, Lanshan County, and is mainly composed of four peaks: Dupangling, Xifengling, Dongbianling, and Hululing. It borders Lianzhou, Guangdong. The highest peak is 1,388 m above sea level. Although the altitude is not high, the unique north-south boundary mountain range gives Yunbingshan a unique climate and different natural scenery in each season. In spring, you can see flowers; in summer, you can escape the heat; in autumn, you can enjoy the moon; and in winter, you can enjoy the snow. Due to its special geographical location, cold and warm air meet and collide here. Every winter, the wonders of rime, snow, and sea of clouds appear one after another, lasting for about a month. It is known as the "Secret Land of Clouds and Sea" and the "Snow Town of the South."
