Direct elevator to watch the sea of clouds at sunrise! I absolutely love this mountain in Hunan that doesn't require climbing

I've been to Hunan at least a dozen times. Compared to Zhangjiajie, I prefer the lesser-known hiking paradise of Chenzhou. With peaks at an altitude of 1800 meters, it's all about pain-free hiking. The 140-meter high space elevator, just like the one in the movie 'The Wandering Earth', sends people to the top of the mountain in 49 seconds! Climbing to the top is as easy as flipping your hand, effortlessly done🤏🏻 And now is the blooming season of the rhododendrons, combined with the towering and rugged strange rocks, it's simply poetic and picturesque. Even on cloudy days, the sea of clouds here is tumbling, and the mist is lingering, like a fairyland. If you still don't know where to go for May Day, why not come here, climb effortlessly and experience the natural wonders of Mother Nature. - ⛰️This is the Mangshan Wuzhifeng in Chenzhou, located at the border of Hunan and Guangdong, 1.5h by high-speed rail from Guangdong, and 3-4h by car! It's also the first mountain in the country that doesn't require climbing! The sea of clouds cable car + space elevator + barrier-free plank road, all seamlessly connected, is super friendly for the elderly and those with leg problems! It's perfect for bringing parents and children here for a trip to the mountains~ - 📷Must-visit spots 🔸Motianling Elevator: The space elevator just like the one in 'The Wandering Earth', with a fully transparent glass view that takes you straight through the clouds 🔸Xiaotiantai: A spot for watching the sunrise over the sea of clouds, where you can take in the panoramic view of the mountains 🔸Yaotai Welcome: A few welcoming pine trees combined with the sea of clouds, just like the fairy-tale Yaotai where immortals live 🔸Reflection Pool: A heart-shaped pool reflects the towering mountains behind, and it's absolutely beautiful when the sunset comes out! 🔸Wandering Valley Campsite: A three-story camping site at an altitude of 1600 meters, also a great place to overlook Mangshan. Order a cup of 'Wuzhifeng' coffee, enjoy the scenery while sipping! If the weather is good, you must stay for a night, watch the stars at night, and watch the sea of clouds at sunrise during the day~ And you don't need to prepare anything, daily necessities are all available, and the bedding is very comfortable👍🏻 - 🗺️Tour Route Cable car upper station➠Yaotai Welcome➠Jinchan Worship Buddha➠Reflection Pool➠Bagua Platform➠Yinxintai➠Calabash Brothers➠Waking Stone➠Motianling Elevator➠Jinbian God Pillar➠Cooling Platform (Valley Campsite)➠Viewing Pavilion➠Xiaotiantai Elevator➠Return to the cable car to descend the mountain and return - ⚠️Travel tips ▪️The temperature on the mountain will be 5-10 degrees lower than the forecast, bring a warm windproof jacket ▪️Prepare enough food and water, as there are not many shops on the mountain ▪️You don't need to bring too much stuff for an overnight stay at the mountain camp, just travel light ▪️The weather on the mountain changes in an instant, it might be foggy one second and the sea of clouds may be tumbling the next - 🚄High-speed train Guangzhou South-Chenzhou West 1.5h, there is a direct bus from the station to the scenic area about 2h drive (one round trip each day) 🚗Self-driving from Guangzhou about 4h, be sure to navigate to 'Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area East Gate' (East Gate!
