Yangmingshan National Forest Park

let’s feel the incoming summer

Let's go! We are going to Yongzhou, exploring north of Guangdong, decided to take a look at the rime on Yangming Mountain.❄️🏞️ In Yangming Mountain in Yongzhou, I checked a lot of information, but found limited introductions, so I had to go on an adventure myself. It is recommended to choose a lower temperature, avoid snowfall, because snow may cause road closures. The day after I left, it snowed in Hunan, and various road closures were inevitable.☁️❄️ When going up the mountain, the navigation directly points to the east gate of Yangming Mountain. There was a section of road repair and pit filling along the way, and I waited for 20 minutes to pass, which should be faster under normal circumstances. The road surface is full of potholes and mud, and under non-snowy conditions, ordinary two-wheel drive cars are fine, just drive carefully. After arriving at the entrance of the scenic spot, the ticket is purchased on the spot for 50 yuan, and online purchase only costs 35 yuan, but it takes 2-4 hours, it is recommended to buy in advance.🚗🎫 Rime began to appear at the fork, the viewing platform was severely iced, it is recommended to wear hiking shoes, walk carefully. Walk towards Wanshou Temple all the way, passing by the Red Army Martyrs Monument on the way, it is recommended to stop and feel the majesty in the clouds.🏔️❤️ Continue along the mountain road, Wanshou Temple is simple and quiet, and the incense is not prosperous. After coming out of Wanshou Temple, you can't continue to go up, the road is blocked. Return to the fork and go to Wanhe Lake.☁️🚶 The biggest surprise of Yangming Mountain is Wanhe Lake. Looking at the mountains and rivers and the lake is like being frozen in the clouds and mist, and you can instantly feel the artistic conception of 'a thousand mountains bird fly absolutely, all paths human traces vanished' in 'River Snow'. There is also a charging pile here, with a power of 40kW, just in time to charge the car while eating. The restaurant prices are moderate, with fish and chicken as the features, homemade tofu and bacon are quite rough, and the taste is passable.⚡🍲 It is very easy to go up the mountain on Yangming Mountain without snow, just pay attention to the oncoming vehicles on the mountain road. There were some problems when going down the mountain. At 3 pm, the fog was thick and the visibility was very poor. There were also vehicles going up the mountain, so be extra careful. Fortunately, we left early, and I suggest everyone leave as early as possible.🚗🌫️ If it is a weekend trip, I personally suggest choosing Yangming Mountain. In winter, there is no need to go to Lingling in Yongzhou, which is easier and the cost is relatively low. New energy vehicles need to pay attention to timely charging, and my energy consumption per hundred kilometers is 30 degrees when going up the mountain. Try to increase the tire pressure before going out, low temperature can easily cause low tire pressure alarm, and bring inflation equipment at the same time. I helped a Tesla to inflate the tire at the entrance of the scenic spot.🏞️🔌

🎈Shuangpai Yangmingshan is famous for its winding mountain roads. You can drive smoothly to the top of the mountain, although the mountain road is rugged, you can slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. The entire mountain road is divided into three parts: the foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain, each with its own characteristics. I chose to go when the weather was slightly better, if you plan to go, I suggest choosing a colder weather or the season when the flowers bloom in April. There are azaleas and cherry blossoms on the top of the mountain. Although I missed this season, I imagine the beauty of the whole mountain and plain being azaleas, it must be very spectacular. In this season at the middle of the mountain, you can enjoy the spectacle of rime. Compared with Nanyue Hengshan, Yangmingshan is more cost-effective. There is a grand temple on the mountain, you can go in and visit. If you feel hungry, there are various foods to choose from on the middle of the mountain, including Xinjiang barbecue skewers, fried rice, fried noodles and stir-fried vegetables. If conditions permit, I suggest bringing your own small hot pot and some side dishes, enjoy it at the middle of the mountain, eating hot pot in this beautiful place while enjoying the magnificent scenery of the middle of the mountain, it will be a very comfortable experience. Yangmingshan is divided into several areas, if you drive all the way to the top of the mountain, remember to go to the lake. The lake is also one of the core attractions of Yangmingshan, where there are cherry blossoms, suspension bridges, and tents and a series of interesting and beautiful places. In short, Shuangpai Yangmingshan is a very good place. Brave to set off, first enjoy the beauty of the world! Call your buddies to go out and feel the charm of nature, you will have new discoveries.
