White Cloud Mountain

White Cloud Mountain Review

White Cloud Mountain gets its name from the halo of clouds that, in the days before heavy pollution, appeared around the peak following a rainstorm. The mountain is part of a 28-square-km (17-square-mi) resort area and consists of 6 parks, 30 peaks, and myriad gullies. Santailing Park is home to the enormous Yuntai Garden, of interest to anybody with a thing for botany. Fei'eling Park has a nice sculpture garden, and Luhu Park is home to Jinye Pond, as pure and azure a body of water as you're likely to find within 100 mi. All in all, a trip to White Cloud Mountain is a good way to get out of the city—maybe for a day of hiking—without traveling too far.
