Gufeng Winter Sea of Clouds Guide, Witness the Fairyland Before and After Sunrise

When the billion-year-old Danxia landform meets the winter mist, Gufeng transforms into the "spiritual and beautiful fairyland" described by Xu Xiake. The winter sea of clouds is crisp and magnificent, adding a vast and ethereal atmosphere to this wonder. This guide helps you unlock the winter-exclusive romance! The secret to Gufeng’s sea of clouds lies in the collision of low winter temperatures and moisture. The highest chance to see the sea of clouds is around sunrise (5:30-7:00). Under the morning sun, an amber halo appears, with the Danxia cliffs reflected within, resembling a long ink painting. On the day after rain, when the air humidity is saturated, the sea of clouds coverage exceeds 70%, allowing you to enjoy the stunning "Danxia reflecting on the sea of clouds" scenery. Avoid strong winds; calm breezes make it easier for a stable sea of clouds to form. December sees fewer visitors, and you might even have the entire sea of clouds to yourself in the early morning, doubling your chances for great photos. Gufeng’s unique Danxia landform offers different perspectives from various viewing platforms. The glass walkway lets you "walk among the clouds," overlooking mist flowing over the peaks. Using a wide-angle lens makes the mountains and rivers appear even more majestic. The summit of Jinzhong Peak is the "best spot for sea of clouds sunrise," where the sun leaps out of the clouds, golden light piercing through, dyeing the Danxia cliffs warm red. Come to Gufeng to encounter this winter-exclusive romance and experience the unique charm of the "fairyland in the clouds"!
