Fir trees, moss, cypress, and small streams~
Everywhere exudes the unique characteristics of Wawu Mountain

Wawu Mountain‖ Worth the Trip, Truly World-Class Scenery
🌳Wawu Mountain, this place awarded the title of 'Most Beautiful Table Mountain' by 'Chinese National Geography', finally scheduled a weekday trip with my sisters👭 to check it out.
It takes about three hours from Chengdu to get there: 🉑 you can choose to drive 🚙 or take a bus 🚌, the parking lot has fast charging stations, very convenient and friendly!
As soon as we arrived outside the Wawu Mountain Scenic Area, it already felt so cool, with bright sunshine, blue skies, and white clouds! Taking a deep breath, every breath is filled with negative oxygen ions, making one feel refreshed. It makes one look forward to the upcoming mountain journey.
We chose the easiest route, taking the cable car up and down, only walking the waterfall section. Here, the cable cars 🚠 are large, accommodating 8 people at a time, and the cable car speed is so fast that my acrophobia didn't have time to kick in before it was over 😨.
The first spot we reached was Yuanyang Pool, with blue skies and white clouds reflected in the clear water, it was really beautiful. Along the way, if you're lucky, you can also see squirrels 🐿 and red pandas.
Entering the Lanxi Cliff, one can't help but marvel 😲 at the wonders of nature, it's truly stunning. The cloud walkway built on the cliff makes one feel like standing in the clouds ☁️. While being afraid of heights, I couldn't help but 📷 take photos to capture the memory. At this moment, I have to admire 🈶 some kids, they are much braver than me.
Wawu Mountain is a place I must visit many times in my life. Coming here feels like entering a magical world, each season has its own beauty. Even after returning home, I can't stop thinking about it. If it weren't for the sore calves reminding me, I would have thought I had dreamed of wandering in a fairyland 😉

For a cool getaway around Chengdu, you must come to climb Wawu Mountain!
It's really big here! Perfect for friends who love hiking.
I've organized a hiking guide for everyone! Even if you're not hiking, you can refer to it for your trip~
-
It is recommended to drive from Chengdu, which takes about 3 hours to reach the foot of Wawu Mountain.
You can arrive at Yanu Lake at the foot of Wawu Mountain a day in advance and stay overnight~ The lake view is very beautiful and clear! There are many accommodations nearby.
You can start early the next day!
⛰️Wawu Mountain is divided into low, middle, and high mountain areas.
To fully explore all three areas, it is recommended to spend three days and two nights, one area per day.
⛰️I mainly recommend the light hiking route in the middle mountain area.
⌚️Start at 10 am.
Upon arrival at the scenic area, take the Jinhua Bridge cableway to Gufoping, then transfer to the second cableway to the middle station and start the Lanxi Cliff Walk!
This section is very beautiful! Passing through the Half-Mountain Gallery to the Lanxi Cliff Walk, you can see distant mountains, various wild animals and plants (if lucky, you might encounter a red panda), and even get close to waterfalls! Feel the coolness!! (It is recommended to bring a jacket, as it gets colder the higher you go.)
You can hike back and take the cableway down, or you can climb to the high mountain area! In the high mountain area, you can continue hiking or take a sightseeing bus!
❣️Note⚠️The downhill cableway stops operating at 5 pm. Hiking back and forth in the middle mountain area takes about four to five hours, so plan to take the middle cableway down around 4 or 5 pm.
⛰️In the low mountain area, the Jingshuang Water Play Valley, Wawu Mountain Grand Canyon (recommended for hiking), and the Davidia Involucrata Walkway are also recommended for a full day of fun!
🏔️High mountain area: Wawu Xiantai! It is recommended to take the cableway directly to the top, play around, and then hike down to the middle mountain area, and take the middle cableway down. Because of this special trip, we couldn't play around! Next time, we won't miss it~

There are many stairs along the way, and we even saw a small panda in the tree,
so cute, my son saw it for the first time, super surprised!
When we reached the waterfall,
we were really amazed by the wonders of nature,
worthy of being the world's highest waterfall, at a glance,

This hike gave me many surprises from my son, he actually completed the whole journey,
he was not afraid, did not say he wanted to give up!
I hope that when he starts primary school, he can also take one step at a time,
through his own efforts, achieve his dreams!
Despite many obstacles along the way, we must bravely step forward,
Little one! Keep it up!

Recently, with the high temperatures, it's perfect to go hiking and playing in the water here
🎈Wawu Mountain Hiking
Wawu Mountain has become very popular recently. After a round of playing, I feel that Wawu Mountain is really amazing~ The experience was quite good, so I organized a leisure hiking guide. It's not recommended to go back and forth on the same day, as it's about a 3-hour drive one way, which can be very tiring. It's best to stay at Yanu Lake the night before if you're driving, and then set off the next day. It's about a 20-minute drive to the scenic area.
Wawu Mountain has mature facilities and trails, suitable for all kinds of people. Leisure players can try this route, which takes about 3 hours for hiking and playing, covering around 7km, all downhill.
🎈Hiking starting point navigation: Mingxiangju Leisure Farmhouse (Group 1, Fuxing Village, Wawu Mountain Town, Hongya County, Meishan City). There is a piece of open space by the roadside where you can park.
🎈Hiking duration: About two hours (you need to return the same way)
Keep walking along the steps, passing through tea mountains and forests, and finally reaching a high observation deck. There is a National Geographic sign there where you can take photos and check in. You can also see Wawu Mountain and Yanu Lake, and the scenery is beautiful!
🎈Surrounding attractions: 1. Yanyuan Village Waterfall 2. Wawu Mountain Scenic Area 3. Gaomiao Ancient Town 4. Guangming Temple
🎈Tips
1. There are places with no shade, so be careful of sun exposure; 2. It's not recommended to take the electric boat, as the experience is not good.

Lanxi Waterfall and the sheer cliff plank road
On June 12th, a rockfall occurred in the Wawushan Scenic Area in Sichuan, resulting in the death of a tourist who was struck and fell to the ground, drawing public attention. However, it did not affect our itinerary, and we still went up the mountain as scheduled on the 13th.
Wawushan National Forest Park is located within the territory of Wawushan Town, southwest of Hongya County, Meishan City, along the western edge of the Sichuan Basin. The summit plateau of Wawushan covers an area of about 11 square kilometers, with the highest altitude being 2830 meters, recognized as China's tallest and largest 'square mountain'.
The essence of Wawushan lies in the Lanxi Waterfall and the Lanxi sheer cliff plank road. Lanxi Waterfall is considered to be the waterfall with the largest drop in the world, and the Lanxi sheer cliff plank road is in the shape of a Z, clinging to a 90-degree basalt steep cliff. It zigzags upwards, with cliffs rising thousands of feet all around, overlooking an abyss tens of thousands of feet deep, and is about 2 kilometers long.

We chose the high mountain area, the cable car ticket was 186, we took the cable car directly to the mountaintop, then slowly enjoyed our way down the mountain. We entered the scenic area at 10:20 in the morning and left at 4:20 in the afternoon. Along the way, we enjoyed the natural oxygen bar, admired waterfalls, observed the sea of clouds, and walked through the woods where we saw various birds, squirrels, and other small animals.

I won't go to Wawu Mountain again
I won't go to Wawu Mountain again‼️
No one ever mentioned how extremely cold it is at the top of the mountain on rainy days, so it's best to bring an extra set of clothes as you will definitely get wet. Currently, there's no admission fee~The whole journey is on foot🟰0 yuan
My easy route👇
Leave Chengdu for Wawu Mountain Scenic Area at 7:30 am, a 3h trip, then take the Jinhua Bridge cable car to the lower station of Gufoping (round trip💰88), and in order to catch the 1 pm cliffside waterfall, I took a one-way trip to the upper station of Gufoping (💰50). The cliffside waterfall wasn't closed when it was supposed to be on the weekend! There are supply stations all along the scenic area so you can bring less stuff. Raincoats💰20, umbrellas💰25, and there's also a large field of daisies🌼 at the lower station of Gufoping, as well as Shuyi burnt fairy grass milk tea.
If you're walking the whole way, you need to start earlier. The path is very clear with many steps. After descending the mountain, I went to Hongya County and enjoyed the local delicacies recommended by a friend, and then happily went home~

Cloud-topped Wawu Mountain, the most beautiful mesa, azaleas bloom again!
In early May, the Lanxi Cliff Plank Road in the Wawu Mountain Scenic Area, located within Hongya County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, opens to tourists, attracting many to experience it. Since 2022, the scenic area has been constructing a 'Z'-shaped plank road on the basalt cliffs, connecting the Lanxi Waterfall with the Mid-Mountain Gallery, creating a tourism loop in the mid-to-high mountain area. The total length of the Lanxi Cliff Plank Road and the Mid-Mountain Gallery Plank Road is about 4.5 kilometers, with an altitude difference of about 310 meters. One side is a sheer cliff, and the other is an abyss, offering the best route to appreciate the geological wonder of the great cliff of 'mesa' Wawu Mountain. Wawu Mountain has a nearly 11 square kilometer tabletop-like mountain plateau, earning it the reputation of 'Cloud-topped Wawu, the most beautiful mesa.'

LEONARD SUTTON
A detailed 2-day 1-night guide to Mount Wawu in winter is here
✔ Pick a clear day to set off! The snow-capped mountains on a sunny day really come with a natural filter, making photo-taking incredibly rewarding!
⚠ Make sure to bring a thermos, as there will be hot water supply stations along the way!
⛰ Upon arrival, you'll need to take 2 cable car rides (it's best to buy a round-trip ticket), which will take you directly to the mountain top.
⛰ The mountain top is all flat boardwalks, remember to prepare in advance ⭐waterproof shoe covers, sunglasses, hats, thermos⭐, etc.
❄ Route: (It's recommended to stay at a nearby hotel for one night and head to the scenic area the next morning)
First cable car: Jinhua Bridge Cable Car ➡ Second cable car: Gufoping Cable Car to the top of the mountain (Family, be ready to take photos in advance, the moment you pass through the clouds will truly amaze you with the sea of clouds)
👉 After reaching the top, follow the main road, and you'll see signs for scenic spots

How marvelous the fog is, one only realizes upon visiting Wawushan
After going to Wawushan, one discovers that the fog is truly a divine stroke from the creator, gentle and ethereal, a scene that can only be understood through feeling.
Departing from Chengdu, a round trip can be done in one day, making it suitable for a day trip for office workers. There's no risk of altitude sickness, it's family-friendly, and the monkeys are gentler than those on Mount Emei.
🚗 Navigation: Wawushan Scenic Area
🎫 Ticket: 276 RMB per person (ticket + cable car, cable car is a must-buy as the mountain is too far)
⏰ Opening hours: 8:00-17:00, suitable for both self-driving and group tours, a day trip excluding cable car costs about 130 RMB.
✅✅ Warm tips:
⭐ Recommended tour route: Turn left out of the cable car - Azalea Garden (Snow Play Area) - Deadwood Path - Carefree Bridge - Mandarin Duck Pond - Cloud Cliff Mirage - Cable car down the mountain, the whole journey is 5.5 kilometers, taking pictures and playing, four hours is enough.
⭐️ If you don't have much physical strength, turn right after getting off the cable car, and just visit the Mandarin Duck Pond and Cloud Cliff Mirage, because although the scenery is beautiful, some of it is repetitive, and there's no need to walk the loop if you're not physically fit.
See you in the comments section if you have any questions!

The mountain has an altitude of up to 2830 meters. Due to geological activities, it forms a roof ridge-like terrain slightly inclined to the east and west. From any angle, the mountain as a whole looks like a tile house
Therefore, it is named "Wawushan" and is a national 4A tourist attraction
🌟Highlights:
🔥The cable car of Wawushan can be called the train to the ice and snow world. The second cable car even rushes out of the sea of clouds, walking with the sunrise. You must come and see the visual shock! Looking down from the cable car, you can see the white snow and the forest blending with the clouds, satisfying the southern people's longing for winter!
🧭The mysterious event of Wawushan is located in the wonderful position of the geomagnetic meridian. It is said that it can enhance blood circulation and enhance immunity. Some people also say that this is the Bermuda Triangle of China and will lose direction.
❤️The mandarin duck pool cloud and fog rush on the lake surface, the lake water is clear and transparent, and the beautiful trees stand upright in the water. It is said that lovers will spend a happy life together if they hold hands and walk here.
☕The reflection of the lakeside cloud top coffee shop is clearer and brighter than the entity. It is built by the lake. Stop and have a cup of coffee, buy a box of instant noodles for 10 yuan for lunch, ⛺The cute tents of the Elephant Top Manor Camp are very suitable for taking pictures, and the tourist service center is also here.

wushan Mountain
Because I slept until I naturally woke up, I didn't get to Wawushan Mountain until noon. After taking two cable car rides to the summit, even though the altitude is 2800 meters, the sunshine was bright and I didn't feel cold. The blue sky and white clouds are a natural healing presence, and the crunching snow underfoot was refreshing! At the observation deck, looking up at the sacred Mount Gongga, it truly deserves the title of 'King of the Shu Mountains', with its majestic and robust presence standing tall among the clouds, I was in awe. Walking further, I came across the 'Lantern Trail' (a name I coined myself), this part of the trail was always under the sunlight, without ice and snow, and both sides were adorned with lanterns, probably for the Spring Festival. Holding a lantern, I made a wish for a lifetime of happiness. Reaching the Mandarin Duck Pond, the water was shimmering. It's actually a lake but is called a pond, perhaps because it seems petite on Wawushan Mountain. The lake under the blue sky and white clouds is always beautiful, and aside from the water, the side near Taiqing Palace was half-frozen, maybe it's because of the serene atmosphere, which invites contemplation. On a whim, I left the flat trail and took a mountain path where the snow was deeper. I wasn't careful and my phone fell to the ground, sliding down five or six steps, but luckily the case was thick and it wasn't damaged. The mountain path was shorter in distance but not in time, yet the scenery was uniquely beautiful. It takes 3 hours to complete the loop at the top of Wawushan Mountain. Due to time constraints, I didn't get to see the ice waterfall, leaving something to yearn for, I'll come back next tim

Wawushan - A treasure scenic spot worth checking in
Bring your favorite person, the scenery here is uniquely beautiful.
I have been to Wawushan many times, the scenery is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. Sichuan's love for snow is something that can't be hidden. And Wawushan offers you a snow season that is serene and quite forest-like.
It takes about three hours to drive from Chengdu, take the cable car up the mountain, and be sure to bring warm clothing and photography equipment.
Of course, unless you have a high budget or want a comfortable trip, it is recommended to stay at the foot of the mountain. You can also enjoy a hot spring bath in the evening. If you are on a limited budget, then just stop by and go up. Staying in the towns along the way or in the city are both good choices.

I really didn't go to Xinjiang! Just around Chengdu!!
I really didn't expect that there is such a fairy tale world around Chengdu
Wawushan is really super dreamy, and I arrived in the ice and snow kingdom in a second❄️
Rime, waterfall, snow mountain, sea of clouds, few people and beautiful scenery 🌲
Recommended scenic spot: Lanxi Waterfall 💦 Must go!
The round trip is about 6.7 kilometers, and we walked for 5 hours (maybe because the snow road is harder to walk)
It takes about 3 and a half hours to leave Chengdu in the morning🚗
If the time is tight, you can actually come back in one day
I met Sun Wukong 🐒 when I went down the mountain
The fruit grabbing is really scary😭
👗 Dressing tips:
It is recommended that you can wear some bright clothes for better pictures
The shoes are best to be non-slip
Be sure to bring a hat and earmuffs, the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, and the hair is all frozen
🎫: Tickets➕Two sections of cable car

In Meishan!! Encountered sea of clouds, rime
Two-day and one-night tour of Wawushan👐
Day1: Depart from Chengdu by self-driving, check in at Yanu Lake for Tengjiao fish, it's too numb, stay in a homestay in the town at night🏠The room is very large, with floor heating and air conditioning all are self-energy, the landlady is very enthusiastic and gave us two pots of tea, her home coffee is freshly ground for those who like it, there are many places to eat around. The key point is that you can set off fireworks, feeling the atmosphere of the New Year😝
Day2: Enter the park before 8 o'clock, due to the pig teammates really dragged down the small team entered the park at 9 o'clock, except for the Golden Flower Bridge cable car queue is a bit long, the rest are all smooth without queuing.
It is recommended to bring your own convenience food, too few to eat in the scenic area! Hot water is available everywhere, and there are also Shuyi and coffee houses.
🖇Only a snowy winter is perfect

This route is suitable for friends who like to play in the snow. It's leisurely and there is plenty of time to play while walking. The beautiful spots are at the Mandarin Duck Pool and Xiaoyao Xiaoyao Bridge... Many places are very atmospheric when photographed! And Wawushan has just snowed... The snow is thick, and the whole looks like an ink painting... Especially when walking quietly, it's like a romantic situation in a Korean drama! And now there are many internet celebrity check-in points, and there are also scenes for children to play in the small world.

‼
‼Friends with good physical strength can go to Xiang'er Villa (with many snow-playing projects, snowmobiles, etc.) and Lanxi Icefall from Kumu Youjing.
‼The sightseeing car has already stopped on the mountain in winter, and it is all on foot after getting off the cable car!
‼Pay attention to keeping warm, wear waterproof shoes and gloves🧤, and the hat should be thick.
A one-day itinerary is suitable for friends who have less vacation and want to go out to play. My itinerary is just a reference. If you want to immerse yourself in playing, it is recommended to spend two days haha!

Around Chengdu, there are fewer people and more snow, it's stunningly beautiful
How can we miss playing in the snow in this season?
Kids are on vacation, we must arrange for them.
It's a 2.5-hour drive from Chengdu, all the way on the highway,

The snow scenery is simply indescribable.
Kids have so much fun that they don't want to go home.
