Mount Wawu
瓦屋山
One of the largest flat-topped table mountains in Asia, with forests, azaleas and many waterfalls on its summit, and snow play in winter.
Wawu Mountain is located in Hongya County, Meishan. Its summit reaches about 2,830 m, and it is named for its flat top, which resembles the roof of a tile-roofed house. It is one of the world's famous table mountains. On the summit plateau you will find primeval forests, alpine azaleas, lakes and the Lanxi Waterfall. The azaleas bloom in May, summer is cool and good for escaping the heat, and winter ice and snow draw large crowds. A cable car takes you directly to the summit plateau. Check the official notices for ticket and cable car information. It is about 1.5 to 2 hours from Mount Emei. The summit is more than 10°C cooler than the foothills, so bring warm layers.
