The most asked summer getaway spot! Wanyang Mountain is absolutely amazing to explore

🌞 Scorching summer heat got you down? Escape to Wanyang Mountain! With an average temperature of 20°C, alpine meadows, blue skies and white clouds, it's the perfect summer retreat! Here's a super detailed guide - save it now! 🌄 Must-visit attractions 1. Lovesick Prairie: 100,000 acres of alpine meadows like a green velvet carpet in the clouds. Go horseback riding, fly kites, or camp while enjoying nature's beauty. The morning sea of clouds and golden meadows at dusk make for stunning photos. 2. Cloud Tea Terrace: Enjoy afternoon tea in the sky while admiring breathtaking mountain views. When the mist rolls in, it feels like a fairyland. 3. Rainbow Campground: Perfect for both photos and camping. The colorful facilities are full of whimsy, with various non-powered play equipment - an ideal choice for family trips. 4. Wanjing Terrace: The best spot for sunset views. When the golden light washes over you, the beauty is breathtaking. 🚗 Transportation guide 1. High-speed rail + bus: From Changsha/Guangzhou, take high-speed rail to Chenzhou West Station, then transfer to "Chenzhou-Guidong" bus at Wanhua Bus Station. 2. Self-drive: Navigate to "Wanyang Mountain Scenic Area, Guidong County". About 4 hours from Changsha via Wushen Expressway, 5 hours from Guangzhou. Note some sections have many curves and narrow roads - beginners should drive carefully. 🏠 Accommodation recommendations 1. Mountain Cloud Sea Hotel: Around ¥200 per person. Cozy, clean rooms with local specialties and abundant buffet breakfast - all-in-one solution for stay and play. 2. Cloud Sea Homestay: Located on mountaintop with stunning views, making you feel like you're in the clouds - an amazing experience. 🍱 Food guide 1. Qiaotou Hakka Steamed Rice Cakes: Soft, sweet and incredibly satisfying. 2. Shatian Town Yellow Mushroom Tofu Soup: Deliciously fresh broth that will wow your taste buds. 3. County Rice Dumplings: Absolutely fantastic with chili sauce. ❗ Helpful tips 1. Mountain weather changes quickly - pack a foldable umbrella and waterproof shoes. 2. Wanyang Mountain summit can be windy - bring a light jacket. 3. The prairie ecosystem is fragile - no littering or feeding the livestock.
