Situation of Siming Mountain Redwood Forest Viewing Area on December 18, 2024

Navigation: Siming Mountain Redwood Forest Viewing Area Ma'ao Reservoir Parking is available on both sides, but it may be crowded on weekends. It's much easier to park on weekdays, and you can drive inside. It's a one-way street, so your parallel parking skills will be put to the test. Bring a hat and scarf, as it's very windy. Trust me, you'll thank me. There's also an interesting broadcast (roughly meaning): "Don't walk into the reed marshes and trample the reeds. Get out quickly." I hope everyone enjoys the view in a civilized manner. There's a plum cake and egg waffle shop next to the restroom, and it's really delicious. CNY 15 per serving, highly recommended. Jinyun baked cake is crispy and crumbly, different from what we have here. Also recommended, CNY 8 each. The Siming Mountain viewing platform over there is just so-so, maybe because it was cloudy in the afternoon. You can visit if you pass by, but it's not worth a special 40-minute drive. The mountain road is winding. There's also Donggang Mountain Forest Park, a small loop of 8 km, which can be completed in 3 hours, but it's not as good on a cloudy day. It's a family-friendly hiking route, and you can go if you have enough time (download the hiking route in advance), but the mountain road there is in poor condition, so be prepared. There are many bends.
