Must-See Spots • Azalea feast: Rhododendron moulmainense takes center stage, with vast expanses of pink flowers resembling a fairyland. Walk along the Ten Mile Azalea Trail, where different varieties of azaleas compete in beauty.

In Butterfly Valley, butterflies dance among the flowers🦋. There are also various strange rocks and ancient trees, showcasing the wonders of nature. Practical Tips • The Lingyun Trail is challenging and not recommended for beginners. • There's a shuttle bus from Xiaowutong to the starting point of Haohan Trail, but it only goes uphill, not downhill. • For an aerial view, take a helicopter ride near Xiaowutong Square (CNY 298/person). • To see the "Azalea King," the treasure of the mountain, go to Flower Screen. • If your stamina is limited, you can return from Xiaowutong Azalea Valley. • Weekends are crowded. For a peaceful flower sea experience, start early on a working day. Embrace spring at Wutong Mountain and experience the romance of being surrounded by flowers. Are you ready for this beautiful spring hike?💓
