Wunongding Viewpoint
雾浓顶
A free viewpoint between the county town and Feilai Temple. White chortens in the foreground frame the thirteen peaks of Meili, making it a classic spot for sunrise on the Golden Mountains.
Wunongding lies about 5 km south of Deqin County Town, on National Highway 214 north of Feilai Temple. In front of the viewpoint stands a row of thirteen white chortens, which echo the Prince's Thirteen Peaks of the Meili Snow Mountain opposite. The scene is a classic composition of white chortens and snow peaks. At sunrise, Kawagebo and Mingzimu peak turn golden from top to bottom. This phenomenon is known as the 'Golden Mountain' sunrise. In winter the light arrives around 7:30 to 8:00, and in summer it is earlier. The viewpoint is free to visit, and there are several viewpoint guesthouses nearby where you can watch the sunrise from your room. It is about 3 km from the Feilai Temple viewpoint, so you can switch between the two vantage points. Mornings can drop below freezing, so dress warmly. In the rainy season the clouds are thick and the chance of a Golden Mountain sunrise is low.
