0Day 1: Starting from Yichun Yuan District, drive 67 km to Anfu County’s Qifeng Mountain Mine Park, which takes about 1.5 hours. The weather during our visit was rainy and overcast, but the photos turned out beautifully! The park features mountains, water, and expansive grasslands. On sunny days, the water appears emerald green, making for a pleasant walking experience along the paths. In summer, water facilities and a children’s playground open up, making it suitable for family trips.
Some facilities are still being improved, so it’s a great option for a weekend getaway! We arrived in the afternoon, took photos, and strolled around before staying overnight near Yangshimu, where numerous hotels and guesthouses are available close to the Wugong Mountain scenic area, making dining and lodging convenient.
Day 2: In the morning, we set off for Yangshimu! The ascent requires little hiking, and you can use the Cultural Tourism Card for free admission. Entrance tickets are 100 RMB, and round-trip cable car tickets cost 150 RMB. Once you reach the cable car terminal, it’s advisable to take a sightseeing bus (30 RMB round trip) to the plank road, which is about 5-6 km away; walking might be tiring.
The main attractions at Yangshimu are along the plank road (approximately 5-6 km). You can enjoy beautiful views while walking and taking photos. We were lucky to see a sea of clouds, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere! The combination of white clouds, high mountains, and rock formations in nature is stunning. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy fresh air!
The plank road has some uphill sections but is mostly flat. It’s relatively narrow, winding around the mountains, allowing for picturesque shots that integrate the landscape with visitors. Overall, you won’t have to hike much; the cable car and sightseeing bus take you close to the plank road, and the ups and downs of stairs are manageable, making the difficulty level quite acceptable.
Plan a refreshing weekend for nature, walking, and breathing in the fresh air!
