Niubei Mountain

4.9/5

Niubei Mountain is located at the border of Yingjing County and Luding County in Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. It belongs to the Erlang Mountain range and serves as the watershed between the Qingyi River and the Dadu River. With an elevation of 3,666 meters at its summit, it offers a 360-degree viewing platform. Legend has it that Laozi, the ancient Chinese philosopher, thinker, writer, and historian who founded Taoism, rode his green ox westward through Hangu Pass and traveled here. Upon seeing the surrounding mountains, snow-capped peaks, and the central prominence, he deemed it an ideal place for enlightenment and spiritual cultivation, thus settling here permanently. One day, the green ox emitted a mysterious glow as Laozi ascended to immortality. His mount then chose this blessed land to lie down and transform into Niubei Mountain. Empowered by the continuous divine energy of the surrounding sacred mountains, the sky manifested an auspicious purple aura from the east. Soon after, the mountaintop revealed the breathtaking "Six Wonders" celestial phenomena, bringing hope and happiness to this land and its inhabitants—hence the name Niubei Mountain. Transportation route: From the Luding direction, visitors can drive directly to the Niubei Mountain Changhaizi parking lot and transfer to the attraction's shuttle vehicles to enter. From the Yingjing direction, visitors must gather at the Niubei Mountain East Visitor Center (Shuanglin, Niubei Mountain Town) for dispersal. To ensure visitor safety, only professional travel agency teams are currently accepted from the Yingjing direction. Best time for photography: Each season offers unique scenery. From spring to summer, flowers like azaleas, primroses, and Himalayan blue poppies bloom across the landscape. Summer brings cool temperatures and ever-changing sea of clouds, while autumn showcases vibrant red foliage. Winter transforms the area into a snowy wonderland with frost-covered trees. The recommended period for visiting Niubei Mountain is from October to May, when the mountaintop enjoys dry air and frequent clear skies – making it the ideal time to witness the majestic Gongga Snow Mountain and breathtaking cloud formations. Location and area: Niubei Mountain covers a planned area of 394 square kilometers, with a core zone spanning 90 square kilometers. It consists of the existing 360-degree viewing platform, Sirentong, Shuanglin (Niubei Mountain East Visitor Center), and Changhaizi (Niubei Mountain West Visitor Center). The core zone is located in Niubei Mountain Town, Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province.

The self-driving route is a winding mountain road with breathtaking scenery, absolutely fantastic (guided by a tour leader). Reaching the summit, the view is stunning: a sea of ​​clouds, snow-capped mountains… simply breathtaking!

The scenery is beautiful, with lush greenery and flowing blue water. The valley is characterized by its many rocks, and the water is crystal clear with frequent small waterfalls. Although the one-way A route is 6 kilometers, there are sightseeing buses at intervals, satisfying both hiking and sightseeing needs; you can choose according to your preference. At the summit is a hidden gem of dove trees, which must be incredibly beautiful when the dove trees are in bloom; I highly recommend visiting then. On the final stretch of the descent, there are bamboo rafts to the exit, allowing for frequent water activities along the entire route, and the bamboo rafting adds a lot of fun. Highly recommended! I just wonder if there's accommodation at the summit; that would be fantastic.

The scenery along the way was breathtaking. If it weren't foggy, the views would be even more captivating. Next time, I'd choose a different season to go, as the scenery would be even more different. It's definitely worth a trip!

A trip to Yingjing wouldn't be complete without visiting Diecui Creek. With my parents and a child, we bought round-trip tickets for an electric bus. The first stop was the Gongtong Mountain House, perfect for splashing and having water fights. The water was quite good, clear, though a bit chilly upon stepping in. Then, we followed the plank road back down. The scenery was stunning: towering ancient trees, jagged rocks, and a gurgling stream. It was a true summer retreat. Unfortunately, my parents were old and tired, so I didn't complete the hike and missed the waterfall. It was a little regrettable, but I'll go again next time!

The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. After parking, take the park bus to the visitor center, then take the shuttle bus. It's best to go in the morning, as the pandas are usually full and sleeping after 11 am.

The drive from Huangwan Leidongping took nearly two hours, navigating winding mountain roads. I suffered from motion sickness and altitude sickness, and my head throbbed terribly. There's even a KFC at the Golden Summit. I stayed overnight there, but missed the sunrise the next day – pure luck!
