Nanshan Ranch
南山牧场（南山国家公园）
A highland grassland plateau at the heart of Nanshan National Park, where meadows, dairy cows, wind turbines and cloud seas come together. It's Hunan's most popular summer camping destination.
Nanshan Ranch sits in Nanshan Town, southwest of Chengbu, at an average elevation of about 1,700 m. Rolling grassy hills are dotted with dairy farms and wind turbines, and summer highs rarely exceed 25°C. Highlights include the Ziyang Peak meadows, Maoping Lake, the sunrise over the cloud sea at Dayakou, and the former air-raid lookout “Red Sentry on the Heights” (Gaoshan Hongshao). You can ride horses, camp and stargaze. The drive from the county seat takes about 1.5–2 hours, and there are guesthouses and campsites at the top. The weather changes quickly and temperatures swing widely between day and night, so bring a jacket. Check the scenic area's notices for ticket and shuttle bus prices.
