A cool summer retreat, Yunbing Mountain is a paradise lost to the world

⛰️What's fun about Yunbing Mountain?

3⃣️ Dreamy Windmills: Huge white windmills scattered across the mountains, coupled with ancient moss known as 'fairy grass of the human world', create a spectacular view! 👍
4⃣️ Iron Chain Suspension Bridge: The cliff suspension bridge leads to the café in the clouds and the mountain top homestay, and if you're lucky, you might see a rainbow arching overhead, as if you're in a fairy tale world. 😉
5⃣️ Step Across Two Provinces: Climb the 520 steps to reach the 1314-meter-high viewing platform, where you can 'step across two provinces' (Guangdong, Hunan) and make sure to check in.
6⃣️ Bamboo Forest Stream Trekking: At the foot of the mountain are bamboo forest cabins, small bridges over flowing water, and an antique charm, like stepping into the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming, where you can play in the stream and even swim in a mountain spring pool.
🌟Travel Tips:
❶ Yunbing Mountain can be visited in one day or two, with tickets at 80r (including shuttle service), and from 17:00 to 8:00 the next day, you can drive to the mountain top, which is super convenient for stargazing and watching the sunrise over the sea of clouds.
❷ It's recommended to stay in a homestay within the scenic area, which is more cost-effective including tickets and breakfast.
✔️You can choose to stay in the Bamboo Forest Cabins at the foot of the mountain, which is super convenient for stream trekking, swimming, and driving up the mountain.
✔️You can also stay in a mountain top inn, where you can see the starry sky, sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset right from your room, with an amazing view!
❸ The temperature in the mountains is lower, especially in the morning and evening, so remember to bring a slightly thicker jacket.

It is recommended to climb to the top of the mountain. The scenery above is completely different from the mountainside and the foot of the mountain. The scenery is very beautiful. It’s too expensive. It takes two hours to walk to the top of the mountain, four or five hours a day. It is recommended to bring your own food dry food drinking water, there is a service station on it, but nothing delicious. There is also a big disadvantage, that is, there are too many garbage, and there are colorful discarded raincoats along the way, masks and ice claws of various garbage. (✔️ It would be nice to set up more trash cans in the scenic spot.)
Ctrip booking is convenient and fast, that is, the order is ready, affordable and reliable, I booked the tickets for every attraction on Trip.com, just encountered a bit cold, you can see the ice, very beautiful, regret the fog is a bit big, can only look close!
I went to the snow scene. I saw the weather forecast and went directly. There was no accident. The mountains were full of smog. Southerners who have not been to the Northeast and have not seen the snow can go for a physical examination. It feels good and worth recommending.
Millennium mosses, alpine cuckoos, 1314 meters and 520 steps above sea level and a foot on the two provinces' viewing platform, integrating fun and entertainment; The iceberg Dongzhai under the fog, the small bridge and flowing water walk between the terraces, the red maple is looming in the fog, the scenery of Dongzhai is pleasant, the scenic spots of the scenic spot have their own characteristics, and the scenery is different throughout the year. It is worth a visit.
It’s cold, it’s frozen, I can’t drive to walk 3 kilometers, walking is crazy, the scenery is really beautiful, the snow in the south, 🙈
Very convenient to buy tickets
