Niubei Mountain
No. 4 of Best Things to Do in Ya'an

Niubei Mountain

6.3
4.9/5
4.1k reviews
Niubei Mountain is located at the border of Yingjing County and Luding County in Ya'an City, Sichuan Province. It belongs to the Erlang Mountain range and serves as the watershed between the Qingyi River and the Dadu River. With an elevation of 3,666 meters at its summit, it offers a 360-degree viewing platform. Legend has it that Laozi, the ancient Chinese philosopher, thinker, writer, and historian who founded Taoism, rode his green ox westward through Hangu Pass and traveled here. Upon seeing the surrounding mountains, snow-capped peaks, and the central prominence, he deemed it an ideal place for enlightenment and spiritual cultivation, thus settling here permanently. One day, the green ox emitted a mysterious glow as Laozi ascended to immortality. His mount then chose this blessed land to lie down and transform into Niubei Mountain. Empowered by the continuous divine energy of the surrounding sacred mountains, the sky manifested an auspicious purple aura from the east. Soon after, the mountaintop revealed the breathtaking "Six Wonders" celestial phenomena, bringing hope and happiness to this land and its inhabitants—hence the name Niubei Mountain. Transportation route: From the Luding direction, visitors can drive directly to the Niubei Mountain Changhaizi parking lot and transfer to the attraction's shuttle vehicles to enter. From the Yingjing direction, visitors must gather at the Niubei Mountain East Visitor Center (Shuanglin, Niubei Mountain Town) for dispersal. To ensure visitor safety, only professional travel agency teams are currently accepted from the Yingjing direction. Best time for photography: Each season offers unique scenery. From spring to summer, flowers like azaleas, primroses, and Himalayan blue poppies bloom across the landscape. Summer brings cool temperatures and ever-changing sea of clouds, while autumn showcases vibrant red foliage. Winter transforms the area into a snowy wonderland with frost-covered trees. The recommended period for visiting Niubei Mountain is from October to May, when the mountaintop enjoys dry air and frequent clear skies – making it the ideal time to witness the majestic Gongga Snow Mountain and breathtaking cloud formations. Location and area: Niubei Mountain covers a planned area of 394 square kilometers, with a core zone spanning 90 square kilometers. It consists of the existing 360-degree viewing platform, Sirentong, Shuanglin (Niubei Mountain East Visitor Center), and Changhaizi (Niubei Mountain West Visitor Center). The core zone is located in Niubei Mountain Town, Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province.Yingjing · 41.8 km from downtown

It really depends on luck. The day before it was gloomy and rainy, but the sky cleared up the next night, and in the morning we saw the golden sunrise on the snow-capped mountains—it was breathtaking. This is indeed the best snow mountain viewing platform in western Sichuan; you can see all the snow-capped mountains except for Meili Snow Mountain.

The scenery is beautiful, with lush greenery and flowing blue water. The valley is characterized by its many rocks, and the water is crystal clear with frequent small waterfalls. Although the one-way A route is 6 kilometers, there are sightseeing buses at intervals, satisfying both hiking and sightseeing needs; you can choose according to your preference. At the summit is a hidden gem of dove trees, which must be incredibly beautiful when the dove trees are in bloom; I highly recommend visiting then. On the final stretch of the descent, there are bamboo rafts to the exit, allowing for frequent water activities along the entire route, and the bamboo rafting adds a lot of fun. Highly recommended! I just wonder if there's accommodation at the summit; that would be fantastic.

This cable car is very convenient and easy. If you're traveling with elderly people, you should definitely take it. My parents and I rode it to the top of the mountain, then walked from the Lanxi cliff to the middle of the Ancient Buddha cable car station, and then sat down again. The timing was perfect, not too tiring, and we got to see beautiful views of the whole city. Highly recommended!

A trip to Yingjing wouldn't be complete without visiting Diecui Creek. With my parents and a child, we bought round-trip tickets for an electric bus. The first stop was the Gongtong Mountain House, perfect for splashing and having water fights. The water was quite good, clear, though a bit chilly upon stepping in. Then, we followed the plank road back down. The scenery was stunning: towering ancient trees, jagged rocks, and a gurgling stream. It was a true summer retreat. Unfortunately, my parents were old and tired, so I didn't complete the hike and missed the waterfall. It was a little regrettable, but I'll go again next time!

The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. After parking, take the park bus to the visitor center, then take the shuttle bus. It's best to go in the morning, as the pandas are usually full and sleeping after 11 am.

Mount Emei is renowned throughout the land, with its Golden Summit shrouded in mist. Today, the Golden Summit is enveloped in a magnificent, ethereal fog. Although the entire mountain range is obscured, this foggy weather offers a rare and precious experience. While there will always be some regrets, contentment brings happiness. Keep going!

I arrived at Ya'nv Lake at the foot of Wawu Mountain in early September, just in time to avoid the summer peak season. The lake area was surprisingly quiet and peaceful with few tourists. The daytime sunshine was bright and clear; the mountains had already shed their summer heat in September, and a gentle breeze made it incredibly comfortable. The high-altitude lake had crystal-clear water, with the distant Wawu Mountain silhouetted clearly. Sunlight shimmered on the lake's surface, creating a beautiful reflection of the mountains and water, offering expansive views. Whether driving slowly along the road or stopping at the viewing platform to enjoy the fresh air and the fragrance of nature, there was no need to fight for a good photo spot; every snapshot was a clean and soothing picture of nature. The scenic area is free to enter and not overly commercialized, making it perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Without the hustle and bustle of peak season, there was a tranquil and leisurely atmosphere amidst the mountains and water. Whether it's a short stop to take photos or staying overnight to watch the sunset and sunrise, it's a great place for a short, relaxing vacation. Traveling off-peak provides a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to those who appreciate quiet, natural scenery.
