Qiyue Mountain
齐岳山
One of the largest mountain grasslands in southern China, with a main peak at 1,911 m. Wind turbines stand across the alpine meadows, which offer views of cloud seas and sunrises, along with camping and horseback riding.
Qiyue Mountain lies in western Lichuan, in Moudao Town. It is a long ridge along the border between Hubei and Chongqing, with a main peak at about 1,911 m. The alpine meadows on the summit are called 'the Hulunbuir of southern China,' and rows of wind turbines stand across the grassland. On clear days you can see cloud seas, sunrises and starry skies. Summer is peak season for summer retreats, camping, horseback riding (about CNY 30 for two laps around the field) and paragliding. In winter, a ski resort operates on the Wangying Town side. The grassland is generally open for free. National Highway 318 runs through the scenic area. It is about 30 km from Lichuan city center and within half an hour of Sumadang and Fobaoshan, so self-driving or a chartered car is recommended. The summit has large temperature differences between morning and evening and strong winds, so bring a jacket. In foggy weather visibility is low, so go slowly.
