Jingmai Mountain Must-Visit Guide|Encounter 5 Ethnic Customs in the Sea of Clouds Tea Mountains

Jingmai Mountain is absolutely amazing! Sunrise, sea of clouds, and sunset all covered✅ 🌄 No need to wake up early! Sleep until 7 AM and naturally wake up to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds (sunrise at 7:36). The sea of clouds rolls right up close, stunningly beautiful. 🌇 In the evening, watch the sunset dye the entire tea mountain red from the viewing platform, like a spilled palette of colors. 🌌 Stay overnight in a uniquely charming Bulang ethnic guesthouse, gather around the fire roasting meat and drinking roasted milk tea, warming your heart 🥰 ✨ Recommended activities: 1⃣️ Nuogan Ancient Village - The most orderly and unified architecture, the most distinctive village! Go to the viewing platform to see the whole village, and if you have enough time, find a tea shop to "relax and daydream." 2⃣️ Wengji Ancient Village - Facing the sea of clouds directly! Any photo taken on the viewing platform is a masterpiece. I could sit there all day~ Close to Nuogan, reachable by foot. 3⃣️ Manghong Village - The top choice for accommodation! 🌅 The buildings are more modern, but you can watch the sea of clouds and sunrise right from your room. In the morning, be sure to pass the Tea Ancestor Tree and continue downhill eastward to a small village facing the sea of clouds with an especially good view! Highly recommend Mangjing Aileng Mountain! Walk from the Tea Ancestor Temple to the Tea Soul Platform, surrounded by the natural scent of tea mixed with earthy aromas, and you can see mysterious sacrificial symbols. The ethnic customs are very special~ I heard that every year at the Tea Soul Platform, they sacrifice cattle! 💡 Tips: ● Bring a thick jacket, as the temperature difference between morning and night is large. ● Be sure to protect yourself from sun and insects. ● Remember to try the local roasted milk tea and roasted meat.
