The Most Beautiful Hiking Guide to Kongtong Mountain

Walking into the valley of Kongtong Mountain, the golden leaves seem to drape the earth in a gentle coat. A light breeze stirs, and the red leaves dance gracefully like performers across the mountain. Standing at the summit, I could hardly believe my eyes—this is what autumn should truly look like! This trip to Kongtong Mountain has come to a perfect end. I've specially put together a super detailed guide for all the ladies to refer to. Be sure to save it before you go‼️ 🗺️ Itinerary: Arrive at the South Gate of the scenic area at 8 AM — take the scenic area shuttle bus for about 15 minutes to the cable car entrance — ride the cable car up the mountain, enjoying the layers of autumn colors in the valley along the way — walk about 20 minutes to the main peak viewing platform to take in the autumn scenery. 📷 Must-visit spots: Main Peak Viewing Platform, Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform, Red Leaf Forest Trail, Cliffside Walkway 🌄 Recommended attractions: Kongtong Mountain Main Peak, Red Leaf Forest, Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform 🚘 Transportation: About 40 minutes by car from downtown; parking is available at the scenic area entrance 🏡 Accommodation suggestion: Homestays at the foot of the mountain offer a more authentic experience 🎟️ Ticket information: Peak season 90 RMB, one-way cable car 60 RMB ⚡ Notes: Be sure to head up early to avoid crowds affecting your photo experience‼️ Wear dark-colored shoes as the mountain paths can be muddy and dirty! 💡 Photography tips: Wear bright-colored clothes to complement the red leaves It’s windy on the mountain, so bring a jacket Signal is unstable; download offline maps in advance Bring chocolate and water to replenish energy Lighting is best around 10 AM If you encounter a sea of clouds, head to the viewing platform immediately Try the local farmhouse specialties at the foot of the mountain Keep the environment clean; please take your trash with you 📅 Best time to shoot: Mid-October 2024 The autumn of Kongtong Mountain is truly indescribable. Ladies, if you have the chance, you must experience it in person! Want to know about the autumn scenery of other mountains? Feel free to leave a comment and tell me~
