Baima Mountain

白马山

A national nature reserve south of Wulong city, with alpine meadows, primeval forest and sea-of-clouds sunrises. It is a quieter summer retreat than Xiannüshan.

Baima Mountain faces Xiannüshan across the Wu River. Its highest point is about 2,000 meters above sea level. It is a national nature reserve with dense forest cover, alpine meadows, rhododendron groves and lookout points. On clear days you can see sunrise over clouds, and in winter rime ice and snow are common. A resort and guesthouses have been built around Tianchi Ping on the mountain. Far fewer visitors come here than to Xiannüshan, which makes it a good place for road trips and a quiet summer stay. Getting there: about 1 hour’s drive from downtown Wulong. Public transport is inconvenient. Note: mountain roads have many bends and may ice over in winter. Admission and open areas follow local announcements. The coordinates are estimated.
