You must climb Wugong Mountain once in your life with the one you love!

Sea of clouds, grassy meadows, and sunrise, so stunning it leaves you speechless 🏔️ and much easier to climb than expected~

🔥 Two-day tour highlights
Day 1:
Main entrance climb 👉 Zhong'an Cableway 👉 Zijigong Palace 👉 Hero Slope 👉 Starry Sky Camp (stay in tents)
- Recommended to start climbing before 12 PM, arrive at the camp before 5 PM to watch the sunset
- Zhong'an Cableway saves 2 hours of energy! A must-ride 🚡
- Hero Slope is moderately difficult, can be done in 1.5 hours with breaks

Day 2:
Sunrise at the Golden Summit 👉 Hanging Horse Stake 👉 Glass Plank Road 👉 Descend
- Wake up at 5 AM to catch the sunrise, the rolling sea of clouds is truly breathtaking!
- The glass plank road is not scary, beneath your feet is a vast meadow, very spectacular
- Descending via the Hanging Horse Stake route is gentler, about 3 hours in total

💡 Practical Tips:
1️⃣ June to September is the best season, the green meadows look like the Windows desktop!
2️⃣ Be sure to bring a windbreaker! The temperature difference at the summit is big and the wind is strong ❄️
3️⃣ The tent camp has power banks and hot water, but signal is intermittent
4️⃣ Travel light! There are supply stations along the way, bottled water costs 6-8 RMB per bottle

🍗 Food Recommendations:
After descending, be sure to try the smoked pork with bamboo shoots and stewed native chicken at "Wugong Mountain Local Cuisine" right next to the scenic area parking lot, super affordable at about 50 RMB per person~
