Two-day, one-night trip to Mogan Mountain to see the red maple leaves and stay at Mengpo Villa.
1. Accommodation recommendation 🏡
We stayed at Mengpo Villa, which has a great view. You can see the whole of Naked Castle from the room, and Mogan Lake in the distance when you open the window. It's like swimming in the mountains and rivers. The private viewing platform downstairs is also great. Buy a cup of coffee and enjoy the sun and the view. 😌
