Mowei Mountain lies on the west side of Pengshui County, with an average elevation of about 1,500 m and forest cover of over 90%. It is known as “an oxygen bar hanging above heaven.” The scenic area has viewing platforms, forest trails and a campsite on the summit. On clear days you can see the Wu River gorge and sunrise over the clouds. In summer it is about ten degrees cooler than the county town, making it a popular summer retreat for people from Chongqing. In winter, rime ice and snow are common. It is about 40 minutes by car from the county town. The mountain roads have many bends, and chains are needed on snowy days.
