Daming Mountain
Daming Mountain has a unique climate, with high peaks and dense forests making it a classic mountain forest landscape.

Summer is especially cool, making it the top choice for escaping the heat in southern Guangxi, while its winter snow makes it China's southernmost snow-viewing destination. The summits of the main ridge hold six natural grasslands ringed by ancient trees; the grass grows in the middle with no trees, and locals call it Tianping Shanxu (Sky Flat Mountain Market).
