Introduction to Niubei Mountain

It is the watershed of Qingyi River and Dadu River. The top of the mountain is 3660 meters above sea level. At the end of 2009, a famous photographer from National Geographic magazine accidentally discovered an unnamed hillside in Luding County where you can view many snow-capped mountains. Since then, it has been named Niubei Mountain and has become famous. Photographers from all over the world flocked to it.

Six unique features of Niubei Mountain

One unique feature is the sea of ??clouds: dense and even, sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent, sometimes pouring down along the ridge, its spectacular cloud waterfall is incomparable .

The second highlight is the setting sun: As the sky gradually darkens, the sun slowly sets in the west, and the horizon turns blood red. The setting sun renders the rolling sea of ??clouds even more brilliant.

Three wonders, sunrise: the unexpected beauty appears when the clouds open and close, magical and unpredictable. Suddenly the peaks and ridges are ethereal, with myriads of rays of light; suddenly the clouds move and the mountains dance, galloping and stirring.

Four wonders, Gongga Snow Mountain: Gongga Snow Mountain, the King of Shu Mountain, stands at the highest point due west of Niubei Mountain. Standing on the top of Niubei Mountain, you can enjoy the full view of the King of Shu Mountain.

Five wonders, Buddha's light: You can also see the rare "Buddha's light" on Niubei Mountain. Although the Buddha's light here is not as famous as that of Mount Emei, its charming scene is not inferior at all.

Six wonders, star trails: The star trails of Niubei Mountain are very spectacular. You don’t have to wait until summer, you can watch the stars in the sky from the top of the mountain, reach out and touch the sky, as if you are in the galaxy. .

Camping accommodation

1. The price of a tent inn on the top of the mountain is about 50-100 yuan. There are two ways to stay in a tent inn:

The first is to sleep in a simple tent with a wooden bed and two quilts and a bed. If you go in winter, you can just bring a sleeping bag just in case you are afraid of the cold. The second option is to rent a large tent that can accommodate 4 to 5 people.

2. Set up your own tent on the top of the mountain

You can do this in summer and autumn, but it is not recommended for donkeys in winter. After all, it is cold and freezing, and it is windy and snowy at night. The temperature outside is very low at night. In mid-December, it is about minus 8 to 10 degrees at night. And the top of the mountain is very open so the wind is strong. It is recommended to take more care of your body and sleep in a tent inn. You can warm yourself up by the fire before sleeping.
