Lincang Daxueshan
临沧大雪山
One of the highest peaks in Lincang, at about 3,400 meters, famous for its rhododendron forests, tree fern groves and sunrises above the clouds. Snow can be seen on the summit in winter.
Lincang Daxueshan lies in the east of Linxiang District. Its main peak rises to about 3,400 meters and forms the core of the Lincang Daxueshan National Nature Reserve. The summit is occasionally snow-capped in winter, and sunrises above sea-like clouds are common. Rhododendron forests cover the slopes and bloom in spring, while tree fern groves line the valleys. Scenic spots include Snow Mountain Cave, the Main Peak Stone, the rhododendron forest and Huangcao Ba. Reaching the summit requires good fitness, and the roads are mostly dirt tracks, so hiring a car and a local guide is recommended. Observe the reserve's regulations, and take care to stay warm and watch for changing weather.
