  At an elevation of 820 meters, it is situated at the mouth of Jianchuan Gorge in the northern region of the river, presenting a majestic and vast peak. Each morning, before the sun rises, the mountaintop is veiled in ethereal mist; as the sun ascends, colorful clouds gather around the summit, gathering and dispersing, shifting into various shapes that resemble a fairy mountain—hence its name "Chaoyun Peak" (Morning Cloud Peak). The most spectacular sight is the play of light among the clouds and rosy hues. Here, you can witness the magical landscape described by the phrase “Beyond Wu Mountain, there are no clouds.” Ancient poets who wrote about this peak once penned: “Gazing at the mountains, one may sing of the present day; but my favorite is the cloud-kissed peak in the azure sky. I do not envy the sunset as a brush of color, when dew-laden hues bathe half the rocky cliffs.” This verse captures the wonder of the clouds and mists on Chaoyun Peak.
