TIPS

Niubeishan is located on the side of Erlangshan facing the Dadu River. It has a wide field of vision and magnificent sea of clouds. It is known as "China's largest viewing platform" and is an excellent photography holy land. The sea of clouds on Niubeishan is thick and uniform, magnificent and gentle. The waterfall-like clouds can be seen everywhere, making people feel like they are walking in the air, similar to the "Hallelujah Mountain" in the movie Avatar.

Niubeishan

Niubeishan, named for its cliff-like giant rocks resembling a bull's head at the mountain top and its long ridge resembling a bull's back, is known as "the largest viewing platform in China".

Clouds over Niubeishan

In April to May each year, the air on the mountaintop tends to become drier, and foggy weather decreases, making it the best time to enjoy the sea of clouds.

Sunset at Niubeishan

The sunset on Niubeishan is also not to be missed. As the sky gradually darkens, the sun slowly sinks in the west, and the horizon slowly turns blood red.

Every happy journey will come to an end, so let's smile and say goodbye to this trip and look forward to more gatherings in the future. Friendly reminder: Bring some dry food and you can bring Coke as drinking water. If you want to eat natural ice cream, please feel free to do so. Hahaha...

The sunrise at Niubeishan is definitely worth looking forward to. When the sunlight breaks through the dark night sky and shines upon the endless sea of clouds, the entire sea of clouds is dyed golden.
