Subaoding is the main peak of the Xuefeng Mountains, at about 1,934 meters above sea level, on the border between Hongjiang City and Dongkou County in Shaoyang. The summit is an open meadow with a field of wind turbines. On clear days you can watch the sunrise above the clouds, and in winter, rime ice and snow are common. It is a popular destination for self-drive trips and hiking in southwestern Hunan. The mountain roads are winding and steep, and in winter, when the road ices over, tire chains are needed. Self-driving or hiring a car is recommended. The summit is about 10°C colder than the city, so bring warm clothing. It is about 30 kilometers from Hongjiang Ancient Town.
