Fenghuang Mountain Tianchi
凤凰山天池
A high-altitude mountain lake at about 1,000 meters on Phoenix Mountain, surrounded by clouds, mist and tea gardens, it is an excellent place to escape the summer heat in Chaozhou and see the tea mountains.
Phoenix Tianchi is a high-altitude mountain lake on Phoenix Mountain in Chaoan District, Chaozhou, at an elevation of about 1,000 meters. The lake surface is calm and surrounded by mountains, and it is much cooler than the city in summer. You can take a cable car up the mountain, passing layer upon layer of Phoenix Dancong tea gardens, and the summit is often covered by a sea of clouds. Ticket and cable car prices vary, so check on site. It is about 1.5 hours by car from downtown Chaozhou, and the mountain roads have many bends. It is best to plan it on the same day as a visit to the Wudong tea area in Phoenix Town.
