Jingmai Mountain Annual Best Season for Sea of Clouds and Sunrise Viewing

【Introduction】: The upcoming season at Jingmai Mountain is the best time of the year to enjoy the sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset. Jingmai Mountain is home to the world's largest artificially planted ancient tea forest area under UNESCO heritage protection. On this millennium-old tea mountain with an average altitude of 1400 meters, the Han, Dai, and Blang ethnic groups have guarded it for generations. The tea forest grows within the forest, with a rich grass layer covering beneath the tea trees. The unique natural landscapes of tea mountains, forests, ancient villages, sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset make it one of the last remaining villages on earth. 🕘【Opening Hours】: Open all day 💴【Ticket Price】: Currently free, advance reservation required. ⛺【Activities】: Main attractions include Nuogan Ancient Village, Wengji Ancient Village, Pa'ai Leng Ancient Tea Forest, Dapingzhang Ancient Tea Forest, Jingmai Great Stupa, Manghong Sunset, Jingmai Sunrise, and the sea of clouds. 🚌【Transportation Tips】: It is recommended to charter a car or drive yourself. From Pu'er to Jingmai Mountain, the distance is about 200 kilometers, taking 4 hours via national roads, 3 hours via highway, with a toll fee of 124 yuan; from Xishuangbanna, the distance is about 160 kilometers, taking 3.5 hours via national roads, 3 hours via highway, with a toll fee of 34 yuan. 👉【Itinerary Suggestions】: During peak season, it is not recommended to stay in Wengji due to heavy traffic.
