Wuhan to Xianning Jiugong Mountain Travel Guide

It’s not too far to go to Jiugong Mountain in Xianning, Wuhan. I recommend you go on a road trip by car. The natural landscape of Jiugong Mountain is really the best in the world, with extremely high green plant coverage. The fresh air and comfortable body temperature make you feel as free as the spring breeze. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

You can take a bus to Jiugong Mountain from Wuhan. This year the weather was great for three days and two nights, and you saw the Milky Way. Really lucky. It will be cold at night, so your friend should check the weather.

The four of us took a 3-hour bus ride from Wuhan and went directly to Tongshan (it is very convenient for friends from Wuhan to go there). Then we bought tickets to go to Jiugong Mountain in Tongshan, and we could also rent a car. Tickets for Jiugong Mountain need to be purchased separately (remember 45 yuan). Just drive to the top of the mountain and buy a ticket.

It takes about two hours to get to Yunzhong Lake. There are hotels and restaurants around Yunzhong Lake, and the hotel prices will be a bit more expensive. After all, in the mountains, people who go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset and starry sky can take a bus to Yunzhong Lake. In the off-season, not every time period is available. If there are many people, you can discuss with the boss to charter a car (20 yuan round trip) or walk there, which is about five or six kilometers.

We walked to the top of the mountain and met a convoy halfway. The top of the mountain is so stunning and cool that there is a windmill. We can watch the sunset and stars. There is a canteen and a tent rental office on the top of the mountain (200 yuan includes the venue and tent supplies). We should pay attention to safety when returning to Yunzhong Lake Hotel in the dark, because there are no street lights. But there are still a lot of vehicles going up and down the mountain, so we are not afraid.

Wuhan Self-Driving Jiugong Mountain

It takes 3 hours to drive from Wuhan to the scenic spot ticket office.

After buying the ticket, you can drive directly up the mountain. It takes 40-50 minutes to drive to the top of the mountain.

Passing by Yunzhong Lake, there are restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets with special delicacies. You can have something to eat, admire Yunzhong Lake, and drive up the mountain to Tonggu Fort. Here you can rent a tent and watch the stars at night. It's very cold in the mountains, so be careful to protect yourself from the cold.

After reaching the top of the mountain, it was cloudy, rainy and foggy. I thought I wouldn't be able to take pictures of the scenery, but at 6-7 o'clock, the sunset came out and the sun was shining brightly. Like the picture posted above, I got a picture of a rainbow, a sunset, and a windmill.
