Sumadang Summer Resort
苏马荡
A summer resort at about 1,500 m in Moudao Town, Lichuan, with forests, meadows and the wind turbines of Qiyue Mountain. Families from Chongqing and Wuhan gather here for their summer 'vacation homes.'
Sumadang lies in Moudao Town, Lichuan City, at an average altitude of about 1,500 m. In midsummer, temperatures are about 10°C lower than in the plains below. Its dense forests have recently been dotted with many holiday apartments and guesthouses, making it a famous summer retreat in the middle Yangtze region. You can stroll the forest trails and gaze at the wind turbines on Qiyue Mountain. Nearby Moudao Town also has the First Metasequoia Under Heaven, a mother metasequoia about 600 years old. The scenic area itself is free, though some zones charge admission. It suits a few days' stay to escape the heat, and it can be combined with Yumuzhai and Dashuijing. Weekends in peak season are very crowded with people and cars, and winters are cold and foggy.
