Highlights/Introduction/Best Travel Time/Dress Guide/Language of Niubei Mountain

National Geographic magazine once described a place like this: "Here, Mud Mountain, Wawu Mountain, Emei Mountain, Jin Jia Mountain, Siguniang Mountain and Erlang Mountain are in front, Gongga Snow Mountain, the king of mountains, is behind, and Dadu River Grand Canyon is behind. Almost all the famous mountains in the land of abundance have become exquisite bonsai at this time. Under the rolling clouds, the hills are gradually lowered and slowly integrated into the Tianfu Plain where rice waves are rolling. " This place is Niu Bei, which is known as "the largest viewing platform in China".

Not only that, you can also see sunrise and sunset, starry sky, Buddha's light, flaming clouds, sea of clouds, cloud waterfalls, Rizhao Jinshan and so on. The beautiful scenery in Niu Bei is rare. Not only do you have to bump on the mountain road for several hours, but the food and shelter conditions can only meet the most basic needs, and the weather is often not very good. But once these beautiful scenery come, all the efforts are worth it.

sea of clouds

The sea of clouds on Niu Bei Mountain is dense and even, sometimes gentle and sometimes turbulent, and there is a spectacular waterfall, which always makes people feel like a fairy, and the surrounding mountains are scattered and distinct, giving people a sense of insignificance. When the weather is clear, the sea of clouds does not retreat for 24 hours. Generally, around 16:00 in the afternoon, a large number of clouds will overflow to the foot of the mountain, forming a spectacular cloud waterfall.

starry sky

The orbit of Niubei Mountain is very spectacular. You can watch the stars on the top of the mountain, without waiting for summer, reaching for the sky, as if you were in the Milky Way. Many photographers have also shot many blockbusters here.

Usually at 4 am, you can prepare a tripod to shoot the star orbit. The night in Niu Bei mountainous area is very cold, the temperature is above minus 10℃, with strong winds and fog. Therefore, it is necessary to take warm-keeping measures and protect photographic equipment. The stars in Niu Bei are really beautiful. Even if you use your mobile phone, you can shoot the movie you want.

The most beautiful is the starry sky in the sea of clouds, which can be seen on a clear night. Before sunrise at 5 o'clock in the morning 1 hour, the horizon is printed with red, forming a red and blue sky, which is beautiful when combined with the sea of clouds and stars.

sunrise

Please note that the color temperature of the sun is red only when it just rises from the horizon, and the light is not strong, so it is beautiful, and the time is only a few minutes to ten minutes.

sunset

As the sky darkens, the sun slowly sets and the horizon turns blood red. Looking at the sea of clouds in front of us through the lens, the sunset adds more splendor and brilliance to this golden ocean, and the mountains that fluctuate with the ups and downs of the sea of clouds also add a little charm to this beautiful scenery.

Rizhao Jinshan

Rizhao Jinshan is a must-see beauty of Niubei Mountain, not just Niubei Mountain. The Gongga Snow Mountain in King of the Mountain stands at the highest point in the west of Niubei, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the king of the mountain, and Niubei Mountain is the best place to watch Gongga Mountain. When the sun rises or the weather clears up, Gongga will show its majestic figure, and with luck, it can also photograph the magnificent Rizhao Jinshan.

It should be noted that, like sunrise, the color temperature is red when the sun just rises, and it will be projected on the top of the snow-capped mountains, forming a bright and dark contrast of Rizhao Jinshan landscape. The shooting time is a little longer than sunrise, remember to grasp it.
