Stunning Views & Hidden Treasures of Lion Hill

#chinatrip Exploring Lion Hill to reach Wangu Tower felt like an enchanting journey into nature and culture. The pathway was adorned with blooming azaleas and ancient trees, casting dappled sunlight that cooled the climb. Along the way, I discovered hidden pavilions with intricate carvings and peaceful resting spots—perfect for taking a break while marveling at the surrounding beauty. At the tower courtyard, bonsai trees and ornamental stone arrangements created a tranquil vibe. Stepping inside Wangu Tower, I was amazed by a carved wooden screen featuring dragons—it looked like it had been carved from the dreams of an artist! Finally, the view from the top left me speechless. The entire city of Lijiang was in view, and the snow-draped mountains in the distance made the climb so worthwhile. The experience was a harmonious blend of physical adventure and cultural immersion. Tips: • Wear comfortable walking shoes; the climb is gentle but long. • Explore the side paths; they often lead to charming surprises like small pagodas.
