Xianglu Mountain

香炉山

The highest point of the Daba area. Take the cable car to the top for views of maple-covered slopes and the Bashan cloud sea, and rime ice that makes winter especially striking.

Xianglu Mountain sits in the northeast of the Daba section of Guangwu Mountain, at about 2,200 meters above sea level. Its lone peak rises sharply, and its shape resembles an incense burner. From the Daba transfer center, take a sightseeing shuttle to the cable car station, ride up, then follow the trail to the summit. From there, a 360-degree panorama takes in the Micang Mountains' autumn forests and sea of clouds, and on clear days you can see layer after layer of ridges. In winter, rime ice and snow are common, making it a highlight of a Guangwu Mountain winter trip. The summit is windy and cold, so bring a windproof jacket. The cable car costs extra.
