Romantic Guide for Qixi Festival | Sunrise and Sea of Clouds at Yunding Mountain

Looking for an effortless yet unforgettable Qixi trip? Head to Yunding Mountain! Windmills, sea of clouds, and guaranteed stunning photos!

Navigation Tips
Avoid searching for 'San Jie Bei' directly—it'll lead you astray!
Correct route: Set your GPS to 'Qian Ge Village, Tong'an' ➡️ 'Yunding Mountain San Jie Bei.' The entire route is paved with cement, so sedans can handle it easily.

🚗 Transportation & Parking
About 1.5 hours from Xiamen. You can park near the windmill or by the small shop, then walk for about ten minutes to reach the viewing spot.

🌄 Best Time for Sunrise
Arrive before 5:00 AM to see the windmill silhouettes.
5:30 AM: Sunrise + sea of clouds—absolutely breathtaking.
After 6:00 AM: Softer lighting, perfect for portrait shots.

📸 Photography Tips
Avoid the crowded pavilion area; take the small path on the other side for fewer people and better views! Light-colored clothing works best for photos.

🧥 Outfit & Gear
It gets chilly at the summit, so bring a thick jacket and a hat. Flashlights, thermos cups, and folding chairs are super handy!

🍫 Supplies
The small shop only sells water, so bring your own snacks.

✨ A thoughtful Qixi trip is all about bringing romance and stunning scenery back home.
