Mulan Mountain (General Mulan legend, Taoist Golden Summit) / Mulan Tianchi (ten waterfalls, thirteen pools) / Mulan Grassland (grassland scenery of Central China) / Mulan Yunwu Mountain (April azalea sea) — the "Four Mulan Scenes"; the Huangpi Mulan legend is national-level intangible cultural heritage. Huangpi is the core area where the General Mulan legend has been handed down, with the "Four Mulan Scenes" distributed around the county town: Mulan Mountain is where General Mulan is said to have offered incense, with incense burning steadily at the Taoist Golden Summit on the mountaintop, its renown as the "Xiling scenic wonder" lasting for centuries; Mulan Tianchi excels at canyon water scenery of ten waterfalls and thirteen pools, said to be where Mulan's grandmother lived; Mulan Grassland conjures up grassland scenery on flat land in Central China, where horseback riding, archery and yurt tents deliver a rare "Central China grassland" experience; every April the azalea sea at Mulan Yunwu Mountain dyes the slopes, a leading spring flower-viewing destination in Central China. The Huangpi Mulan legend is on the national intangible cultural heritage list; the four scenic spots can be strung together over two days, with tickets of CNY 70–80 priced separately for each.
Getting there: Huangpi Qianchuan, transfer to scenic-area bus / self-drive
