Tianyue Mufu Mountain
天岳幕阜山
The highest peak where Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces meet, known for sea of clouds at sunrise, strange rocks, and twisted pines, and revered by Taoists as the "25th Grotto-Heaven."
Tianyue Mufu Mountain lies in Mufu Mountain Town, northeast of Pingjiang County. Its main peak rises to 1,596 meters and is the highest point where Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces meet. It is a national forest park and a 4A-rated scenic area, and Taoists revere it as the "25th Grotto-Heaven." The mountain is most famous for its sea of clouds, sunrises, twisted pines, strange rocks, and boiling sand pool. Summer temperatures are much lower than in the county seat, making it a popular retreat from the heat. In winter, rime frost and snowy scenery are common. Shuttle buses connect the main attractions within the scenic area, and there is a hotel at the summit where you can stay overnight to see the sunrise. Mountain weather changes quickly, so bring a jacket and rain gear when you climb.
