Wawushan is truly wow! Check out this light hiking guide!

Wawushan offers free admission until the end of June, and they've newly opened a walkway that allows you to get up close to the world's highest waterfall, "Lanxi Waterfall." Only after visiting did I realize how ingeniously the walkway was built, winding from the bottom of the waterfall all the way to the very top. You'll inevitably get wet along the way, and it can be quite cold even in bright sunshine, so bring a raincoat. The Lanxi Waterfall walkway features three spectacular waterfalls. If you enter the Half Mountain Gallery from the Ancient Buddha Village cable car middle station, you'll first see "Yuanxi Waterfall," which is just as magnificent as "Lanxi Waterfall," though with a slightly smaller drop. Continue further to see both "Lanxi Waterfall" and "Yangxi Waterfall." These waterfalls are named after their source at Mandarin Duck Pool at the mountain top. Following the Lanxi Cliff walkway upward will take you to the top of the waterfall. If you're physically fit, you can participate in the official hiking challenge. The first 100 participants each day can receive a medal on-site. It's a 14-kilometer hike one way, taking about four hours to reach the summit. It's best to set aside a full day for hiking, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery. I recommend following the route shown in the last image (①②) - take two cable car segments (50 yuan each) up the mountain, then hike to the Lanxi Cliff walkway downward entrance, and continue hiking down the mountain. This saves considerable energy compared to hiking upward. From Wawushan, you can overlook Yanu Lake. There are many homestays at the foot of the mountain, typically priced around 150 yuan. It's best to plan two days for Wawushan. Along the way, you can visit Guangming Temple, Gaomiao Ancient Town, Fuxing Village, and Yanyuan Waterfall, which are covered in another post.
