Highlights & Photo Spots

Fairy Mountain offers three major attractions, making it perfect for families and groups:

  • Treetop Adventure: Divided into low and high zones. The low zone is a family-friendly playground with over 60 non-powered attractions such as swings, trampolines, zip lines, basketball, and football. The high zone features a forest walkway and the Forest Eye — a 360° viewing platform offering panoramic views of Fairy Mountain.

  • Scenic Road & Meadow Train Ride: A more relaxed sightseeing route. Ride the mini train into the wide-open meadow, dubbed “the South’s No.1 Grassland.” Get up close with grazing cattle, sheep, and horses.

Travel Tips:

  • Plan your route and schedule in advance. The park is large with many attractions — spontaneous plans may lead to missing highlights.

  • Summer temperatures average 20–25°C. Be prepared for strong sun and temperature swings — check the forecast before you go.

  • Choose accommodations based on your budget and preference: stay inside the park or in Xiannü Town. Check reviews and compare prices online before booking.

  • Dining options are limited to small shops and markets — bring your own snacks and water.

  • The Tourist Center is the main transport hub. Buses enter the park and stop at five locations. If you’re headed somewhere specific, tell the driver in advance.

  • The scenic mini train has only two stops: Start → Meadow → Horse Ranch → back to Start. There’s a parking lot near the boarding point, convenient for both self-drivers and bus passengers.

  • The train passes through the famous “Most Beautiful Road,” but doesn’t stop there. To take photos, get off at the Horse Ranch station and walk about 300 meters back.

  • At high altitudes, UV is strong and temperatures drop quickly in the morning and evening. Bring sun protection and a jacket — even if you don’t need it during the day, it’s best to be prepared.
