Golden Summit (Baihe Peak)

金顶(白鹤峰)

The main peak of Wugong Mountain at 1,918 m. Ancient sacrificial ruins stand on the summit, surrounded by rolling alpine meadows, making it the prime spot for camping and watching the sunrise.

Golden Summit, also known as Baihe Peak, rises to about 1,918 m. It is the main peak of Wugong Mountain and marks the meeting point of Pingxiang, Anfu and Yichun. Stone sacrificial ruins from the Ming dynasty, including the Wangxian Altar, survive on the summit. Vast alpine meadows surround it, emerald green in summer and golden with miscanthus grass in autumn. On clear mornings you can watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. Several guesthouses and tent campsites lie near the summit. They are packed in peak season and during the tent festival, so book ahead. The weather on the summit changes quickly, and even in summer the nights may drop to around 10°C, so bring warm clothing and rain gear. Do not linger on the ridge during thunderstorms.
