Qingyun Elevator Entrance: Floating mountain vibe 3. Motianling Viewing Platform: Sunset looks like an ink painting 🍲Must-eats at the foot of the mountain Mangshan fern root cake: black gold exterior, sticky and chewy inside Yao family cured meat: smoked with mountain spring water, paired with wild chili peppers, absolutely delicious ⚠️Hidden Tips • Last cable car at 5:30 PM, don’t miss the time to go down • Smoking area halfway up the mountain (fire is completely banned in the scenic area) • Bring a windbreaker! Big temperature difference at the summit The most beautiful scenery in Mangshan in winter is the rime frost, the whole mountain turns snowy white, but it doesn’t appear every day. Even without rime frost, frost may fall along the way, and there may be ice on the ground, so wear non-slip shoes and be careful.
