Summer on Mount Wawu

Summer on Mount Wawu

Mount Wawu has distinct climates in all four seasons, making it an ideal destination for year-round travel. In spring, admire the azaleas blanketing the mountains; in summer, bathe under waterfalls cascading from the sky; in autumn, collect red leaves as the hills glow crimson; in winter, play in the snow and ice that rival the north. Throughout the seasons, you can witness wonders such as sunrises, sea of clouds, Buddha’s halo, sacred lamps, and even the “three suns.” The snow and ice on Mount Wawu are truly unique in southwestern China, with snow cover lasting up to half a year. Unique sights such as icefalls, ice curtains, ice columns, icicles, and rime frost are also found here. During the snowy season, visitors can ski, play in the snow, and admire the winter scenery on the Mount Wawu plateau, enjoying the boundless joy bestowed by nature.
