More than just rock formations

When to come
Mid April to mid May and mid September through October are the best times in terms of climate to visit Wulingyuan.
If you are visiting during the peak season (late May through September), go on weekdays because the desired natural serenity of the Wulingyuan scenic area is traumatized on weekends by droves of bullhorn toting tour guides.
