Wugang Yunshan National Forest Park, a blessed place Wugang Yunshan is named after the clouds. Song Gaozong recorded Zhao Gou sighing: "Yunshan has 71 peaks, and the clouds are ever-changing." Yunshan is more than 20 minutes' drive from Wugang city, and the ticket price is 45 yuan. The scenic area integrates famous places of historical sites, famous ancient temples, streams and forests, with magical clouds, secluded forests, strange mountains and beautiful waters. You can trace the Yunxi River, climb to the top of the clouds, admire the cloud scenery, pray at Shengli Temple, and feel the beauty of the Liujiu blessed land. Liu Wenhui of the Qing Dynasty once wrote: "The mountain is named after the cloud, and the cloud is the mountain. Clouds are born on the mountain tops and the mountain buries the clouds. The mountain is still and the clouds are moving, and the clouds are uncertain. It is difficult to distinguish between many clouds and few mountains." Not only the Yunshan Mountain, but the clouds of the entire Wugang are so beautiful that people can't get enough of them~ If you are going to climb Yunshan Mountain all the way, you can go to the east entrance from the main entrance. Go in, climb the mountain all the way through Yunxi, waterfalls, and the glass plank road viewing platform to reach Shengli Temple, which takes about three hours. After a short rest at Shengli Temple, there is a sign indicating a one-meter-wide stone staircase leading to the top of the mountain (it takes about an hour to hike to the top). There is a three-story fire lookout tower on the top of the mountain. You can go up the stairs to the roof to overlook the peaks and view the clouds in 360°. Then take another road to Luhou Palace, follow the gravel road to Fengchekou Service Center, then from Sister Pavilion to Shengli Temple (about an hour), and return along the original route. The round trip takes about eight hours. If you don’t want to be too tired from hiking, you can drive to the windmill mouth and Walk for half an hour from the bus stop to Shengli Temple, climb to the top after praying, and then come down from Luhou Palace. It's just a small loop. The whole journey takes about 2-3 hours. Kind tips There is almost nothing to sell along the way, so it is recommended to bring enough water and food. Shengli Temple does not sell food or drinks, but you can get clean mountain spring water inside the temple. Shengli Temple was helpless when it encountered tourists who did not bring enough food. !!!!!!Leave no trace tour starts with us. It is really hard for the mountain staff to climb the mountain and clean and collect garbage every day. All supplies halfway up the mountain have to be carried up by manpower or horses. It would be great if you could take your own trash with you.

The East Gate of Wugang Yunshan Scenic Area is the entrance for self-driving camping, and the ticket collection place is halfway up the mountain.
