The Perseid Meteor Shower is coming, and Wanggangping Scenic Area awaits you as the prime viewing spot

From August 9 to 13, 2025, Wanggangping Scenic Area will host the annual celestial spectacle—the Perseid Meteor Shower! As one of the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, the Perseids dazzle with hundreds of meteors per hour streaking across the sky, earning the title "King of Summer Meteors." The peak night on August 12 is expected to deliver over 100 meteors per hour at its zenith. Wanggangping offers a 2,500-meter-high cloud-viewing platform with 360° light-pollution-free dark skies, where you can witness the meteor shower's diamond-like rain against the backdrop of the Gongga Mountain Range. Whether you stay at the Narada Resort in the mid-mountain Daping area or the rustic Muyun Cabin in the Sanping Forest atop the peak, you'll immerse yourself in this romantic stargazing experience. Come to Wanggangping and dance with the meteors for unforgettable memories!
