Zhejiang boasts numerous famous mountains, but the most unforgettable is undoubtedly Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou. Its peculiar peaks, bizarre rocks, sea of clouds, and rime ice present every frame like a meticulously carved landscape painting. For a Spring Festival visit to Yandang Mountain, we recommend a two-day, one-night itinerary to savor it slowly.

⚠【Travel Tips】
1⃣During winter's dry season, waterfall views are less impressive; focus on hiking and rock formations.
2⃣For the Fangdong-Lingyan route, descending is less strenuous, but fit travelers can challenge the reverse.
3⃣Scenic area transport is convenient, with sightseeing buses linking major attractions.
