Must-See Attractions
Arshan Tianchi: You can see the whole view from a drone.
Dujuan Lake: When there are blue skies and white clouds, take a dinghy to the center of the lake to see a different landscape!
Wusulangzi Lake: There is morning mist at 8:00am, and the evening photos look great too.
Mountain and Water Rock Paintings: The best time to see them is in the afternoon and evening, as the sunlight won’t reach the rock face in the morning and the photos won’t look good.
Shangkeng Peak: You can see the sea of clouds early in the morning, and it’s a free attraction.
Moa Highway: This is a niche internet-famous spot, great for taking photos and drone shots of wild scenery!
Dear Inn: There are deer that will salute you, and little rabbits that will come up to you for food (they love carrots).
Bailang Peak: The highest point in the area, with glacial remnants, watch the sunrise and sea of clouds at 5:00am.
Olunbukan: A hiking and photo-taking paradise.
Things to Note
Clothing: The temperature in autumn is around 0-20 degrees Celsius, so you need to prepare thermal underwear, sweatshirts, and windbreakers.
Sunscreen: The UV rays are strong in autumn, and the wind is strong, making it easy to get tanned or sunburned. Protect yourself from getting tanned.
Rain gear: It rains from time to time in autumn, and disposable raincoats are more portable.
