Cloud and Mist Wonderland Hiking Route

Sanqingshan Hiking Edition Sea of Clouds Guide Spend the whole day immersed in the sea of clouds, who understands! You can fully enjoy the sea of clouds at Sanqingshan even on a one-day trip~ For reference only: November itinerary, choose the first day rainy and the second day sunny weather You can stay at hotels around the trailhead, 5 minutes to the hiking start point. This time I walked about 10km with an elevation gain of 1400m. Hike up from the Waishuangxi trailhead (about 1.5 hours, Waishuangxi cableway will be closed for maintenance after November 9) 9:30 Arrive at the cableway exit and head straight to Yutai (the prime spot for the sea of clouds! Perfect for shooting mountain peaks piercing through clouds) 10:30 Check in at Giant Python Emerging + Eastern Goddess (mystical stones wrapped in mist, super fairy-like) 12:00 Stroll along the Sunshine Coast plank road (suspended walkway for dynamic cloud sea shots) 15:00 Wait for the sunset glow at the West Coast (cloud layers dyed orange-red, stunning) 17:00 Hike down, perfect ending~ (remember to bring lighting tools) 💡 Avoid Pitfalls Tips 1. Go after rain and when the sky clears in November, 90% chance of sea of clouds 2. Wear non-slip shoes + windproof jacket. This time I wore a short sleeve + windproof jacket, it gets cold after sunset 3. Bring your own water and snacks, grilled sausages start at 15 RMB on the mountain 4. Buy combo tickets online in advance (ticket a bit over 100 RMB + cableway 55 RMB, only two other cableways available), student half price You don’t need to stay on the mountain to chase the stunning sea of clouds, just rush there on the weekend, working people!
