Mabai Mountain

马摆大山

A high mountain plateau in Mazha Town. Its summit pastures stretch for miles, and beside Mabai Heavenly Pond you can look down on 100-meter cliffs and waterfalls.

Mabai Mountain lies in Mazha Town in southern Weining County. Its highest elevation is about 2,763 meters. The summit has open, gentle pastures and ridges where cattle and horses graze, and the mountain has gorges, dragon pools and seasonal waterfalls. Hiking to the summit “Mabai Heavenly Pond,” you can look down a cliff more than 100 meters deep. The site is little developed and has no unified admission fee. Its roads and trails are in average condition, so it suits outdoor enthusiasts who go in groups, preferably with a local guide. It is about 40 km from the Weining county seat, and there are no supplies on the mountain, so bring enough water and food.
