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

😲Starry skies, sea of clouds with windmills, bamboo forest cabins, mountain streams... Visiting Yunbing Mountain fulfills so many wishes at once! 👏Here you can trek through streams, stargaze at night, watch the sea of clouds in the morning, and even experience 'stepping across two provinces' at the mountain peak, where the huge windmills feel within reach. In winter, the trees are frozen, creating a dreamy expanse of white snow, and in summer, the starry Milky Way and sunrise over the sea of clouds are stunningly beautiful! 😲It's really worth a visit for a couple of days during the holidays, like a paradise on earth, making it hard to leave 😘. ✅The 2-day tour itinerary for Yunbing Mountain is as follows: 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟏: Guangzhou→Yunbing Mountain Bamboo Forest Homestay→Bamboo Forest Stream Trekking/Swimming in the pool→Drive up the mountain to watch the sunset→Stargaze at the Milky Way at night. 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝟐: Watch the sunrise, sea of clouds, and windmills on the mountain→Ancient moss→Iron chain suspension bridge→Café in the clouds→Qianhu Yao Village. ⛰️What's fun about Yunbing Mountain? 1⃣️ Starry Milky Way: Summer is the perfect season for stargazing, and at Yunbing Mountain, you can drive right up to the top, look up to see the Milky Way, and occasionally see shooting stars, which is simply breathtaking! 😲 2⃣️ Sea of Clouds Sunrise: Watching the sunrise from the mountain top, you're likely to encounter a sea of clouds, with white clouds slowly flowing beneath your feet, giving a dreamy and ethereal feeling, like being in a fairyland! 😍 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. 📍Attraction: Yunbing Mountain (border of Guangdong and Hunan) ⏰Business Hours: 8:00-17:00 🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended 👉🏻Nearby Attractions: Departing from Guangzhou, you can also visit Taohua Lake in Qingyuan, Oujia Terraces, Youling Yao Village, Qianhu Yao Village, and more.
