Damu Mountain
大幕山
A high-altitude rhododendron sea in Damu Township, Xian’an District, covered in azaleas in spring. It is one of the most popular rhododendron-viewing spots in southern Hubei.
The main peak of Damu Mountain is about 1,100 meters above sea level. Its ridge is dotted with continuous stands of wild rhododendrons, which bloom from mid to late April, turning the mountain red and purple, and there is a Damu Mountain Rhododendron Festival. Wooden walkways and viewing platforms have been built on the mountain. You can reach the top by scenic area shuttle or on foot, and on sunny days you may also see sea of clouds. Traffic is heavy on weekends during the flowering season, so it is best to set out early in the morning. Admission and shuttle fares follow the scenic area’s published prices. It is about 1 hour’s drive from Xianning’s urban area.
