Mengshan scenic spot gains popularity with sunrise hiking tours this summer

Gui Meng Scenic Area, a core attraction of Yimeng Mountain, has become a viral summer tourist destination, with overnight sunrise climbing tours emerging as a popular new leisure activity.

Many families travel to the mountain and hike through the night to wait for sunrise on the peak. At 5:09 a.m. on July 21, a four-member family from Heze cheered as golden sunlight broke through mist over rolling peaks. Tourists enjoy magnificent sea of clouds after summer rains and take in layered mountain scenery at dawn.

Supported by profound Zhuanyu cultural heritage, the nearby Mengtong Resort creates an all-day vacation system featuring "sightseeing on the mountain, leisure at the foot". Since opening last year, the integrated resort has received 3.37 million visitors.

The scenic zone has upgraded diverse tourism offerings including forest therapy courses, landscape live performances, mountain climbing and rafting combo tickets, plus hot spring packages with cost-effective pricing. Night stargazing and sunrise hiking experiences are specially designed for summer visitors seeking cool mountain getaways.

Local operators combine accommodation, dining and sightseeing services to deliver one-stop holiday experiences. Rich live performances are arranged at the foot of the mountain to enrich visitors’daily schedules. The mountain area has turned natural scenery and traditional culture into competitive tourism strengths to attract visitors across Shandong Province.
