The Wildest Scenic Deck Near Chongqing! 3 Hours to the Summit for Sunset Chasing

By sheer chance, we witnessed the spectacular "dragon sucking water" + thunderstorm, and stumbled upon an otherworldly sunset! Lion's Trough, at an altitude of 1,973 meters, is accessible by car all the way to the top! When we arrived, white clouds were floating within arm's reach, but then the heavens gifted us a dramatic weather show! Distant rain curtains cascaded like a dragon sucking water from the sky ⚡️ as thunderstorms rolled in unannounced... Just when we thought the trip was doomed 🤯, a miraculous turnaround happened in less than half an hour—the rain cleared, revealing angelic light 🌤️ that painted the entire mountain in pink and purple hues... Our luck was so unreal, we felt like buying a lottery ticket! The three iconic giant boulders on the summit platform are a must-visit!! Especially at sunset, with a backdrop of rolling clouds and gradient skies—it’s a photographer’s dream. Friends who saw the pics gasped: "Are you sure this isn’t the surface of Mars?" It looked like an alien landing site 👽 Highland weather is pure mysticism—this time, we gambled right... Next time, we’re coming back for the starry sky ✨ Pro tips: Navigation to Lion's Trough only takes you to the foothills—drive a few more minutes uphill to reach the platform. The final stretch has sharp S-turns + steep slopes—newbie drivers, be cautious! No supplies at the summit—bring enough water, snacks, and a jacket. The mountain is unmanaged—please take your trash with you.
