HOLDEN BROCK

Come to Shumu Forest to watch the sunrise

We set off at half past nine in the evening, aiming to watch the meteor shower at 2 am. Because the fog is very thick near the top of the mountain, with a cliff on one side and unknown if it's a field on the other, I could only drive at 30 mph leaning on the steering wheel (the road is very narrow with many bends, drive carefully). By the time we reached the parking platform at the top of the mountain, it was almost midnight. The fog was thick and it was super cold, so I stayed in the car. I suggest everyone to dress as warmly as possible (it's several degrees below zero, it's really freezing, bring a blanket). At around 3 am, the fog had almost cleared, and I could see a sky full of stars. I took a picture of the Big Dipper, which was so beautiful that it made me cry at the time. Sunrise time: Dawn breaks at half past six, close to 7 o'clock, so everyone can go there just in time, no need to freeze for too long. The actual time to see the sun rise along the horizon is around 7:20 (you can take great photos within 20 minutes). The sea of clouds lasts from half past six to half past nine, so if you can't get up, you can still see it if you set off at 7 o'clock and reach the top of the mountain. It's so beautiful, even the Murong sea of clouds would admit defeat.
