Best Time to visit Hengyang

We can see the beautiful scenery on Mt. Hengshan: Spring Cloud, Summer Pine, Autumn Sunrise, and Winter Snow.
It seems to be suitable to go there in all seasons. However, it is recommended to visit Mt. Hengshan at the end of summer and in the beginning of autumn because the weather in this period becomes cooler but the trees are still green. If you want to see the snowy scenery, you'd better come to Hengshan during December to February. The misty marvelous spectacle can be seen in this season.
