I want to see the view from the top myself

Absolutely stunning fairyland! Cloud hiking at Mingtang Mountain in Yuexi, I found Anhui's Little Huangshan!

🗻 Reasons to visit Mingtang Mountain
The Green Gem of Western Anhui! Sea of clouds + unique rocks beat any filter
📍Address: National Highway 318, Hetu Town, Yuexi County, Anqing City, Anhui Province
⏰Opening hours:
Peak season (April-October) 8:00-17:00
Off-season (November-March) 8:30-17:00

🌄 Hiking route
1️⃣ Glass plank road → High-altitude swing
A transparent corridor on the cliff! Beneath your feet is a bottomless abyss
📸Tips: Best to shoot early morning when the mist hasn't cleared, it naturally adds a fairy effect
2️⃣ Couple Peak → Fairy Peak
Unique volcanic rock formations, very much like scenes from "Avatar"
3️⃣ Mingtang Main Peak
It takes 1.5 hours to reach the summit, but the 360° unobstructed viewing platform is totally worth it

🍃 Special activities
✨Must-capture sea of clouds: Always appears after rain when the sky clears! Recommended to stay at nearby guesthouses and get up early
💦High-altitude drifting: 2000-meter glass water slide, remember to bring a raincoat
☁️Magic carpet elevator: A blessing for the lazy! Riding the "flying carpet" up the mountain is super fun

⚠️ Tips to avoid trouble
1. Large temperature difference on the mountain! Bring a jacket even in July
2. The last cable car is at 17:30; if you miss it, you have to hike down
3. You need to take a shuttle bus (15 RMB/person) from the parking lot to the scenic area entrance
