It happened that when I went to Guilin for my holiday last year, I set the destination at Maoershan, so I know this scenic spot better. Maoershan is the birthplace of Lijiang River and Zijiang River, and it has its own characteristics in four seasons. The attractions of Maoer Mountain are: enjoying flowers in spring, summering in summer, climbing mountains in autumn and enjoying snow in winter. It is a good place for sightseeing, novelty hunting and summering.
When traveling to Maoer Mountain, I suggest you make a good strategy in advance, so as to enjoy the beautiful scenery more immersed.
Here are my strategies and suggestions:

The tour time of scenic spots is about 2 and a half hours; Because the scenic spot is a national nature reserve, for the safety of your journey, tourists must transfer to the scenic spot bus when going up and down by car, and private cars are strictly prohibited from going up the mountain.
? 2. It is recommended to take the scenic bus directly to the top of Maoer Mountain, which takes about 1 hours by car. On the way, we will stop at several important scenic spots, such as Laoshan Boundary and Hemlock Park. After getting off the bus, you need to walk a section of climbing plank road to reach the summit. Sunset, sunrise and sea of clouds here are all beautiful. There are hotels and inns on the top of the mountain. You can stay here for one night so that you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise the next morning.

The main hiking route is to walk from the mountain gate to the Grand Canyon, then go back to the cuckoo garden, pass by Laojie Mountain, go to Hemlock Park and climb to the top of the mountain through the alpine bush. If you don't have rich outdoor sports experience, it is not recommended to go on foot rashly.
