How can you not visit Yandang Mountain when you are in Wenzhou

One of the 'Three Mountains' in the 'Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks' (the other two being Huangshan and Lushan), Yandang Mountain is a concept of a large mountain range, not a single scenic spot. Official promotions include eight major attractions: Lingfeng, Lingyan, Dalongqiu, Fangdong, Sanzhe Waterfall, Yan Lake, Xiansheng Gate, and Yangjiao Cave, as well as Chaoyang Cave and Jingming Valley for a total of ten attractions, each an independent scenic spot with separate admission fees. Due to the numerous attractions, it is quite a stretch to fully enjoy them in one day, and most people choose to stay in the scenic area for 1 night or more. 🍀【Best Time to Visit】 Spring, summer, and autumn are more suitable for visiting Yandang Mountain. Firstly, the vegetation on the mountain is lush, making the scenery more beautiful. Secondly, there are many waterfalls on Yandang Mountain, and the precipitation is higher in spring, summer, and autumn, especially in summer, which is the high-water period, making the waterfalls more spectacular visually. In winter and early spring, the dry season, Yandang Mountain's waterfalls are also worth seeing because their charm lies not in their size but in their diverse, light, and elegant forms, which are more pronounced during the dry season. During major holidays, Yandang Mountain is very crowded, which can affect the travel experience. It is recommended to visit during off-peak times. 🚘Transportation Guide 🚄High-speed train: You can take a direct train to Yandang Mountain Station, where a free shuttle bus to the visitor center is available upon exiting the station. The ride takes 15 minutes, and the return trip can also be made by taking a free shuttle bus from the visitor center to Yandang Mountain Station.
