| Cloud Grassland, Buddha Light Secret Realm, Wave Road, All Covered in This Guide! Basic Information - Location: Guizhou.🌄 Wumeng Grassland Self-Driving Guide | Cloud Grassland, Buddha Light Secret Realm, Wave Road, All Covered in This Guide! 📍 Basic Information - Location: Panzhou City, Liupanshui, Guizhou Province (near Yunnan border) - Altitude: 2000-2857 meters (plateau climate, sun protection and cold protection needed!) Best Season: May to October (summer for cooling, autumn for sea of clouds) Entrance Fee: 30 RMB/person (self-driving allowed, great value!) 🚗 Recommended Self-Driving Routes 1. Classic Loop (2 days 1 night) Day 1: Liupanshui → Wumeng Grassland (120km/2.5h) - Navigation point: Search directly for "Wumeng Grassland Gate 1" - Must-visit spots: ✅ Tianchi Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire grassland, high chance of sea of clouds! ✅ Buddha Light Platform: "Buddha Light" phenomenon often appears on rainy afternoons (luck-dependent~) ✅ Shifang Yun She Homestay: Popular accommodation with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the grassland (book in advance!) Day 2: Deep Grassland Tour → Return - Activities: 🌿 Horse Riding/Camping: Local herders’ horse team 50-80 RMB/hour 🚗 Self-driving on Wave Road: Navigate to "Axilisi Ertai Slope" (adjacent scenic area, free!) ⚠️ Self-Driving Precautions** 1️⃣ Road Conditions: - Inside the scenic area, roads are asphalt + gravel; sedans can pass but SUVs are better (some steep and sharp turns). - Be cautious in rainy weather! Fog is common, visibility low. 2️⃣ Vehicle Preparation: - Check brakes/tires, spare tire is a must! - Gas stations: Fill up in Panzhou city, no gas stations on the grassland. **🏕️ Accommodation Recommendations* - Shifang Yun She: Prime grassland location, prices 600-1200 RMB (busy in peak season). - Container Hotel: Cost-effective, about 300-500 RMB. - Camping: Bring your own tent (designated areas), night temperatures 5-15℃ require thick sleeping bags. 📸 Photo Spots 1. Tianchi Bench: Popular check-in spot (navigate near "Wumeng Ski Resort") 2. Windmill Group: Stop randomly along the main road, stunning on sunny days! 3. Buddha Light Platform: Face away from the sun in the afternoon, wait for fog to refract light and shadows. Food Supply Grassland Barbecue: Locally grilled lamb skewers (5-10 RMB/skewer) Panzhou Cuisine: Try "Panxian Ranmian" and "Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice Chicken" on the way back 💡 Niche Activities Star Gazing at Dawn: High altitude with little light pollution, clear Milky Way in summer! 🌦️ Weather Tips: Four seasons in one day! Short sleeves + sun protection during the day, windbreaker for morning and evening, average temperature 18℃ in July. Must-Bring Items: Oxygen bottle (backup), raincoat, sun hat, car charger. ✨ Personal Experience: > Chasing windmills and waiting for Buddha Light on Wumeng Grassland, staying in a container hotel at night with the starry sky overhead, like a Swiss alternative!
