Large Medium Small

Cloud on the Courtyard, located in the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains, has the highest sun-viewing platform in Hunan with 1,740 meters above sea level, which is the best place to watch the sunrise and stars.

The best time to see the Milky Way is in summer, with a clear view of the most magnificent marble-textured part of the galactic center. The stars shine like a silver bead curtain, with meteors streaking across the sky once in a while, making Cloud on the Courtyard full of romantic colors.
