Pitfall Avoidance Guide and Niche Easter Eggs 1. Tips for beginners • Dressing advice: A windbreaker + quick-drying clothes are a must! The temperature difference on the top of the mountain is large (only 10-20℃ in summer), so you need to prepare a down jacket in winter. • Hiking pace: Rest more when going up the mountain, and control the speed when going down the mountain to protect your knees. It is advisable to hike for an average of 8-10 hours a day. • Ticket discount: 10% off if you purchase tickets through the “Wugong Mountain Tourism” mini program 2 days in advance, and half-price tickets for students/seniors with vouchers. 2. Hidden gameplay • Starry sky photography: On the 15th day of every lunar month, you can take photos of star trails and the Milky Way in the same frame at the Golden Summit "White Crane Peak" (tripod + long exposure required). • Explore ancient altars: Look for stone runes and bronze bells for blessing at sites from the Song Dynasty such as Gexiantan and Wangxiantan. • Tea culture experience: Pick wild tea in the Fayunjie tea field and follow the tea farmers to roast "Wugong Mountain Cloud Tea". 5. Why choose Wugong Mountain? • The ultimate release of natural wildness: the cliff path without guardrails and the desolate feeling of no-man’s land awaken the primitive survival instinct. • All four seasons are picturesque: in spring, you can enjoy the azaleas all over the mountains; in summer, you can enjoy the coolness and escape the heat; in autumn, you can see the colorful forests; in winter, you can encounter rime and ice. • A Utopia of Soul Healing: Find inner peace and strength in the wilderness far away from the city.
