🌊 Must-visit spots to view the sea of clouds in Pu'er
🏞️ Ning'er Pu'er Mountain (Ximen Yanzi)
A typical karst landform, standing at the highest point of Pu'er Mountain—Zhanmao Peak, it feels like you can reach out and pull down the flowing white clouds from the sky. The vast sea of clouds surrounds mountains, rocks, cities, and forests, sometimes surging like tides, sometimes flowing like streams.
🍵 Lancang Jingmai Mountain
With the morning glow reflecting on the horizon and the sea of clouds rolling beneath your feet, the ancient tea forest appears faintly. The sea of clouds at Jingmai Mountain is majestic and powerful, with ancient trees draped in veils of green mist. This is the hometown of tea and also the hometown of clouds.
⛰️ Jingdong Ailao Mountain (Jinshan Yakou)
Standing on the Jinshan Yakou viewing platform of Ailao Mountain, look down at the sea of clouds below, with waves of clouds and peaks appearing and disappearing. At sunrise, the sea of clouds glows with morning light in brilliant colors, creating the most spectacular view.
