"Peaks stretching for miles with azalea flowers, ridges piled up with waves of colorful rosy clouds." 💖The azaleas of Mulan's Cloud and Mist Mountain are now entering their peak blooming period! By the Qingming holiday, it will be a wild profusion of blooming beauty. 🌸The azaleas spread all over the mountains, as if they have draped Mulan's Cloud and Mist Mountain in a layer of red gauze. Each flower blooms so passionately, so brilliantly, as if proclaiming the arrival of spring to the world! 🌈Walking through the sea of flowers, it's like being in a dreamy red fairy tale world. When you come here to check in📷, be sure to wear a white dress, a casual snap, and you'll capture a full sense of girlishness and romance! 💕If you are also a lover of flowers, then don't miss out on this azalea sea at Mulan's Cloud and Mist Mountain!🌷💖 💰Admission fee: 65 yuan 📍Flower viewing areas: Huayu Mountain, Flower Sea, Flower Ocean; 🚗Navigate to Mulan Huangpi Cloud and Mist Mountain Scenic Area; about 1 hour's drive by car

Visit Wuhan to see the mountains and fields covered in a sea of red azaleas! 【Flower Viewing】 The 1000 acres of wild azaleas on Mulan Yunwu Mountain in Huangpi have bloomed across the entire mountain! The mountain has turned into a magnificent red, it's spectacular! Yunwu Mountain has 3 azalea mountains, and starting from the end of March each year, the three flower mountains bloom in succession, with the viewing period lasting until May. 【Resting】 After enjoying the azaleas, you can choose to have dinner at a restaurant near the 'Tourist Center'. Dozens of restaurants offer authentic farmhouse dishes. The spring seasonal delicacies such as toon, amaranth, and bamboo shoots are fresh and tender, and the Huangpi specialties like crispy rice porridge, Huangpi three delicacies, and smoked meat with bean threads are authentically flavored. A warm reminder from Wenlv Jun: The entire scenic area is very large, and it takes about 5 hours to walk and browse the whole course.

I really like the spring in Wuhan, where the city is filled with fragrance and happiness blooms at every step. Mulan Yunwu Mountain, known as one of the four major azalea viewing spots in China, will be covered with azaleas all over the mountains at the beginning of April, truly deserving the title of Wuhan's top flower viewing trend. — Photo taken in April 2023 Flower Viewing Guide: 1⃣It is recommended not to choose holidays to go. If you only have weekends free, it is suggested to avoid the crowds by leaving at five or six in the morning. I left at nine thirty last year, and it took over two hours to get through the traffic at the entrance of the scenic area. 2⃣If you want to take a motorcycle taxi due to traffic jams at the entrance of the scenic area, it is advised to park at parking lot number eight and take a ride from there, because there is a long distance from parking lot eight to parking lot one, and personally, I feel the cost of the motorcycle taxi is a bit expensive. When I was going down the mountain, the cost from the fourth gate to the entrance of the scenic area was 50 yuan per person. 3⃣We took our children to the entrance of the scenic area and took the scenic area tour bus (50 yuan per person) to the sea of flowers, because it takes more than two hours to walk there. However, parents with children who have good physical strength can also walk. The tour bus only stops at stations and can only be taken ten times; if you exceed the number of rides, you have to buy another ticket. 4⃣If you want to go directly to the sea of flowers, take the bus to the sea of flowers station or Huayu Mountain station. I took the bus directly from the starting point to the sea of flowers station. I originally wanted to go directly to Dinosaur Valley, but after arriving at the sea of flowers, I had to get off and transfer, so I decided to enjoy the flowers first and then go to Dinosaur Valley. 5⃣There were too many people queuing to transfer from the sea of flowers to Dinosaur Valley, so we chose to walk, which took us more than forty minutes. However, the road we walked offered a broader and more beautiful view of the sea of flowers. 6⃣I entered with a previously purchased annual pass, and my teammate bought a ticket package that included Dinosaur Park for 80 yuan per person. However, I also bought a separate ticket to Dinosaur Park (35 yuan per person). — Tips 1⃣There are fruit and grilled meat skewers for sale along the road, and there are stir-fries at the entrance of the scenic area. To save time, we didn't eat and just tried the meat skewers, which tasted very average, so it is recommended for those with children to bring their own dry food, fruits, and water. 2⃣It is recommended to wear flat sports shoes, and pink or white dresses are more photogenic. 3⃣Personally, I think the most worthwhile sight right now is the sea of flowers. You can take your children to Dinosaur Valley and plan according to your own time! — 📍Mulan Yunwu Mountain Tourist Scenic Area

I had been to Yunwu Mountain for rafting in the summer and saw the azaleas, but this was my first time coming although there are many discouraging posts online. But when I saw the hillsides covered with blooming rhododendrons, I was still shocked. Isn't this just the earthly paradise in April? We set off from Hankou at 1 pm on April 5th, and it wasn't as congested as I imagined. We arrived near the scenic area at around 3 pm, and about 2 kilometers from the scenic area, we started to hit traffic. We decisively parked the car on the side of the road and started walking. We smoothly entered the scenic area at around 3:30 pm. If you still want to park in the parking lot, the scenic area has a total of 9 parking lots. P9 is really far from the scenic area, so I suggest parking in lots 1-4. We bought the 108 yuan ticket that includes the sightseeing bus, and I suggest everyone take the sightseeing bus directly to the mountaintop flower sea because walking there takes almost 2 hours. As soon as we entered the scenic area, we started looking for the sightseeing bus and found we had to walk about 1 kilometer. The sightseeing bus can also be purchased separately for 50 yuan per person. There are three circular mountain trails, each with its own characteristics and beauty. It's just that you have to stoop and crawl because the branches are really low, and it's impossible to walk upright. The azaleas have a long blooming period, and I should come to see them again. I hope everyone can have a pleasant flower viewing trip. I just came back from there, and when I got to the flower sea, I was really amazed by the beauty, it's just that there were too many people, and I had to queue for 30 minutes to get on the bus.

Mulan Yunwu Mountain is really beautiful! A large swath of flowers! Wearing pink or white looks very nice! The bright colors match so well with spring! 1. There are really a lot of people! Some places are really sunny! Bring a good umbrella and apply sunscreen! 2. It's hard to park, and it's hard to make a choice, there are many parking lots. If you park in the parking lot at the front, you will have to walk a long distance to reach the scenic area. If you park in the parking lot at the back, there might not be any spots left. 3. It's suggested to buy tickets earlier as they may be cheaper! 4. Definitely bring something to eat! You can bring a picnic mat, and have some tasty food when you're tired from climbing! 5. Wear comfortable shoes, you will really walk a lot... especially the stretch to the scenic area entrance... 6. There might be some bugs! Kids can spray some insect repellent!

Wuhan's romance is half cherry blossoms and half azaleas. When traveling to Wuhan in spring, besides visiting Wuhan University and East Lake Cherry Garden to see the cherry blossoms, you can also go to Mulan Yunwu Mountain to enjoy the azaleas. The azaleas all over the mountains are delicate and bright, showcasing vitality and composing the spring prelude of Yunwu Mountain. Walking among the flowers is like diving headfirst into spring. It's simply too pleasant to enjoy the flowers and take photos with family and friends! Of course, you can also choose to take a helicopter ride to appreciate the flowers. Viewing the flowers from a different perspective, you will discover a different kind of beauty. 📍Address: Paotongdian, Liji Town, Huangpi District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. 🚅Transport: Mulan Yunwu Mountain is only 31.7 kilometers away from downtown Wuhan, and it is recommended to travel by car. 🌸Best time to see the flowers: April.
