Because of a photo, I came to this hidden gem "Mao'er Mountain"

If you happen to be in Guilin this holiday, why not avoid the crowded Yangshuo and come to this little-known secret spot I keep to myself, Mao'er Mountain!
Hey, I'm Jingyin, and this is Mao'er Mountain, standing at 2,141.5 meters, known as the highest peak in South China. Starting the hike from Laoshangjie, you enter a pristine forest secret, pass through tropical rainforests, and discover two thousand-year-old iron fir trees that look like a couple kissing. Hiking all the way, exploring all the way, even I, who lack exercise, found it quite enjoyable.
The original plan was to finish the hike and watch the sunset at the summit of South China's highest peak, but unfortunately, it rained. Heaven left me a little regret to come back next time!
If you plan to watch the sunrise the next day, you should stay at the Mao'er Mountain Scientific Research Reception Center at the summit.
At the foot of Mao'er Mountain is the Lijiangyuan Grand Canyon. Here in Zhaoyao Valley, there is a jelly sea and bamboo forest, perfect for playing in the water and relaxing to relieve the fatigue from climbing. If you love ancient styles, wearing a Warring States robe or a horse-face skirt to take photos here will be very photogenic!
By the way, opposite the Lijiangyuan Resort Hotel, there is a ranch where you can feed deer, loved by both adults and children!
Mao'er Mountain is not far away; two days and one night are enough, just right for a family of three or a few close friends to relax and vacation!
