Xishan Shaoyue Viewpoint
西山韶乐
Viewpoint 1 of the Jinkeng terraces, set high up, where the terraces are arranged like a musical score. A favorite spot for photographers chasing sunrise mist.
Xishan Shaoyue is Viewpoint 1 of the Jinkeng Dazhai terraces, on the hillside west of Tiantouzhai. From here, the terraces stacked up the opposite slope look like rows of musical notes, which is where the name comes from. Clouds and mist often drift across the terraces in the early morning, making it the most popular sunrise spot in Jinkeng for photographers. It is about 30 to 40 minutes on foot from Tiantouzhai. The path is steep, so to catch sunrise you'll need to set out in the dark. Bring a headlamp, go with a companion, and watch your footing on slippery ground.
