Chunkun Mountain
春坤山
A high alpine meadow about 2,300 meters above sea level in Guyang County, filled with wildflowers and cool air in summer, and a top choice for Baotou residents who camp and watch the stars.
Chunkun Mountain is located in the southeast of Guyang County, Baotou. It is one of the highest peaks of the Daqing Mountains, part of the Yin Mountain range, rising to about 2,340 meters, with extensive sub-alpine meadows on its summit. From July to August the meadows bloom with Trollius (golden lotus), wild poppies and other wildflowers, and temperatures are about 10°C lower than in the city. Visitors can hike, ride horses, camp, and watch sunrises and the stars. The scenic area offers sightseeing shuttles up the mountain, as well as yurts and tent campsites. Ticket and shuttle prices follow official announcements. The mountain is about 90 km from downtown Baotou, with limited public transport, so you will need to drive or hire a car. The summit is windy and the temperature changes greatly between day and night, so bring a warm jacket even in summer.
