A naturally elevating trip
China DailyA species of wild chrysanthemum in full bloom on the Laohei Mountain in Panzhou. In September, many wild plants were still blooming, including a species of rhododendron shrub with big, white flowers and at least three species of impatiens with, respectively, yellow, white and red flowers. We walked around several hilltop meadows, and climbed up three or four wind turbine platforms to enjoy the cool breeze and beautiful views before heading to the Niangniangshan scenic area in the afternoon. After an hour's drive we arrived and realized that, hidden in a broad valley, the scenic area features many attractions, including a mountaintop park that can be reached by cable car, a few karst caves, sinkholes and a hot spring resort. We opted to instead pay the 20 yuan per person admission fee to see a river flowing from a karst cave along a winding trail on the steep river bank.
