Mount Wugongshan Alpine Meadow Backpacking Traverse

Ascend from Shenzi Village, trek across the golden alpine meadows along the ridge via the Golden Summit (Jinding) and Fayunjie, and descend to Longshan Village.

A 3-day, 2-night trek covering over 30 kilometers with a cumulative elevation gain of over 2,000 meters. Stay overnight at the Golden Summit and Fayunjie, enjoying sunrises and seas of clouds along the trail. This route is less crowded than the reverse traverse, but the ridge is highly exposed and weather conditions change rapidly. It requires backpacking or long-distance trekking experience. Parts of the trail are wilderness routes; check current openings and restrictions before setting off. Not suitable for beginners.

In 2026, the meadows are reportedly closed for rotation from August 28 to November 28. The park may close temporarily during typhoons and heavy rain.
