Huangguan (Crown) Peak
皇冠山
A sawtooth-crested peak on Gaoligong Mountain shaped like a crown, viewed across the Nu River Gorge from Laomudeng Village, most beautiful at sunrise and sunset.
Huangguan (Crown Peak) is a peak on the western bank of the Nu River, on Gaoligong Mountain. Its summit is serrated and resembles a crown. It is generally not climbed. Instead, it is viewed across the gorge from observation points and guesthouse terraces around Laomudeng Village on the eastern bank. The best times are when clouds rise from the gorge in the early morning and when evening sunlight falls on the summit. The coordinates given are estimated for a viewing spot on the Laomudeng side. Admission is free, and staying at a Laomudeng guesthouse makes it easy to enjoy the view.
