China tips you can trust
Why the
Wulingyuan scenic area
is special
This vast area is most famous for its 3,000 quartzite limestone rock pinnacles (see photo). Some are as high as 20 story buildings. Each is uniquely shaped and some resemble familiar animals or objects.

tips & insights
More
than just rock formations
Wulingyuan has many other interesting sights and activities for visitors. These include
Viewing
the panoramic vista from the top of Mount Tianzi
(accessible by trail or cable car)
Touring
the sizable Huanglong Cave
Cruising
photogenic Baofeng Lake
Hiking
along the picturesque Golden Whip river
Trekking
in the dense, virgin subtropical forest that
covers most of Wulingyuan
Visiting
the ethnic Tujia villages
When
to come
Mid April to mid May and mid September through October are the best times in terms of climate to visit Wulingyuan.
If you are visiting during the peak season (late May through September), go on weekdays because the desired natural serenity of the Wulingyuan scenic area is traumatized on weekends by droves of bullhorn toting tour guides.
