Baiyizhai
白溢寨
A high mountain stronghold north of the county town, famous for its 'ice cave that freezes in midsummer and stays warm in winter' and the ruins of an ancient fortress on the summit. Good for climbing and escaping the heat.
Baiyizhai is located in the north of Wufeng County at about 1,500 meters. Ruins of fortified settlements from the tusi chieftain era sit on the summit, surrounded by cliffs. Its best-known attraction is the nearby 'Summer Ice Cave,' where ice can still be found inside in midsummer, while the cave feels warmer in winter, making it a natural wonder. The round-trip hiking trail takes about 3 hours and passes through dense woodland, which turns red in autumn. Visitors are few and facilities are basic, so bring your own water. Getting there: about 40 minutes by car from the county town to the foot of the mountain, and some sections are rural roads.
