Wugong Mountain, located in the northern section of the Luoxiao Mountains, straddles Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. Historically, it shared the same fame as Hengshan Mountain and Lushan Mountain, known as one of the Three Famous Mountains of Jiangnan. Its main peak, Jinding Baihe Peak, stands at 1,918.3 meters above sea level. It is a large-scale mountain scenic area integrating sightseeing, leisure, religious tourism, and science education. Wugong Mountain is renowned for its unique peaks, precipitous rocks, treacherous pines, vast grasses, soulful clouds, ethereal mists, turbulent waterfalls, secluded pools, unique caves, and rare birdlife. The alpine meadows within the area, the Red Rock Valley Waterfalls, and the ancient altars at the Golden Summit are particularly captivating, considered one of the three most breathtaking sights of Jiangnan. Above 1,500 meters above sea level, Wugong Mountain boasts a 500-kilometer-long Huangshan pine forest belt, designated a Huangshan pine provenance conservation area. Above 1,600 meters, 100,000 mu of alpine meadows extend across the region, the largest at its latitude in the world and known as "a unique Jiangnan wonder." At the same time, Wugong Mountain is also a famous religious mountain where Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism blend together.
It's worth the climb. The grasslands on the top are magnificent. You can also see the sea of clouds and mountain fog, which is very beautiful. The whole walk down (cable car up and down) takes most of the day, and staying overnight on the top of the mountain is also a unique experience. The facilities on the top of the mountain are quite complete, of course the conditions are a bit difficult, but when the starry sky lingers, it's all worth it. I can't help but sigh, the beautiful scenery of our motherland!

The following is a comprehensive review of the Emeishan Jinding Cableway, which is compiled based on tourist feedback and the actual situation of the scenic spot:
Advantages and Highlights
Efficient and Convenient
The entire cableway takes only 3 minutes, which saves a lot of time compared to walking (about 1.5 hours), and is especially suitable for tourists with limited physical strength 12. The hourly capacity reaches 1,200 people, and it uses equipment imported from Austria, with high safety and automation 2.
Magnificent Landscape
On sunny days, the cableway overlooks the sea of clouds and mountains, and is described as a "flowing scroll" with a shocking high-altitude perspective 2.
Rainy Day Adaptability
Even on rainy days (such as May 3), tourists are still coming in an endless stream, and the operation of the cableway is not affected, but it should be noted that visibility may be reduced 23.
Disadvantages and Shortcomings
Long queuing time
During peak holiday periods (such as during the May Day holiday), it takes 2-3 hours to queue up, and some tourists choose to give up because the queue is too long 13. Some tourists complained about the cost-effectiveness of "queuing for 2 hours and riding for 5 minutes" 14. Weather dependence
Rainy and foggy days may block the view of the Golden Summit. Some tourists reported that "it was not clear on rainy days and the monkeys were not seen", and it is recommended to refund the ticket or reschedule2.
Cost dispute
Some tourists believe that the overall cost of tickets + transportation (such as buses + cable cars) is high, especially when visibility is low.2.
Practical suggestions
Off-peak travel: avoid holidays or early morning to reduce queuing time13.
Weather selection: Check the weather forecast in advance, and give priority to sunny days; it is recommended to walk or adjust the itinerary on rainy and foggy days2.
Physical strength trade-off: Those with children or the elderly can give priority to the cable car; those with sufficient physical strength can walk (about 6 kilometers) to experience the scenery more deeply12.
Data as of May 3, 2025, source: Jimu News and tourist comments12.
This cable car is amazing for people with injured knees. It saves time and effort. It is because of it that we can successfully reach the summit. After reaching the Jinding Cableway, we only need to walk for more than half an hour. We did not miss the scenery along the way. It was amazing.

We came to Wugong Mountain for a visit. We walked the section in Pingxiang, took the cable car and hiked all the way to Jinding, the highest peak of Wugong Mountain. Looking around, there is a piece of alpine meadow. In season, it is green. The meadow stretches for more than 20 kilometers and covers an area of more than 100,000 acres. In spring, it is as green as a carpet, and in autumn, the reed flowers are in full bloom. Every season has its beauty. There are many tents set up on the meadow, which is also a camping site. If you want to watch the sunrise the next day, you can consider staying here. There is a store nearby, but the things are a little more expensive.
Watching the sunrise on the alpine meadow is so beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, cool and comfortable, with pleasant scenery, picturesque and interesting. Climbing the mountain makes you tired but happy. It is a good choice, great.
No.

We came to Wugong Mountain in Pingxiang to play. Jinding is the highest point of Wugong Mountain, located at the junction of Pingxiang City and Anfu County. The Jinding part is 1918.3 meters above sea level and belongs to the form of alpine meadow. Many hiking enthusiasts like to hike up the mountain and stay in the meadow camping area of Jinding, waiting for the sunrise the next day. In addition to watching the sunrise, you can also watch the sunset, sunset glow and sea of clouds at Jinding. There are different natural scenes in different seasons and time periods. There are also scenic spots in the Jinding area, such as Chongying Altar, Gexian Altar, Wangxian Altar, etc. There is a small shop on the day, and the things are not cheap.
Many people know Wugong Mountain through outdoor hiking, because Wugong Mountain has always been a holy place for outdoor hikers. It is one of the top ten "non-famous" peaks in China. It has the reputation of "grassland in the clouds, outdoor paradise", and is also a national 5A scenic spot. The most wonderful scenery is the more than ten kilometers of ridgeline from Jinding to Fayunjie. No matter where you start to cross, the final destination must pass through Jinding.
The main peak of Wugong Mountain, Jinding (Baihe Peak), has an altitude of 1918.3 meters, and above 1600 meters is in the form of alpine meadows. The main attractions of Jinding Scenic Area: Shigu Temple, Husband and Wife Waterfall, Diaoma Post, Wugong Mountain God, Ancient Altar Group, and Golden Pot Wine. The scenery of Jinding is famous for sunrise and sea of clouds. If you want to see the sunrise and sunset, it is recommended to stay on the top for one night. You can choose a tent or an inn. Because it is on the top of the mountain, the accommodation environment is relatively poor and more primitive.
Although Wugong Mountain is at a high altitude, you can choose to go up and down by cable car. There are two levels of cable cars in the Jinding Scenic Area (Zhongan Cableway and Jinding Cableway). Not long after the Jinding Cableway comes out, there is an alpine meadow, which is very close to the Jinding. Ordinary tourists who do not want to hike but want to see the highlights can choose to take the cable car.
