Huangling Village is beautiful, but we were too late to see the yellow canola flowers bloom.
Now, heading by the small mountain road to Huangling Village. In the morning, we had breakfast at 36 County Rural Resort Hotel camping, but as the weekend passed, there was no buffet. Anyway, it was plenty to start the day with. We filled the water tanks from the newly built water tap and were ready. Drive-thru mountains to reach Huangling. During the drive, I made a mistake by missing the turn at the crossing, and we missed the big road. I’m pleased about it. The GPS recalculated the road, and we took a tiny winding road over the mountains. Many times, we questioned our decision about where this road ended. I tried to fly my drone there, but it refused, and I don’t understand why.
The small mountain road to Huangling Village was like a snake climbing up to the top.
To some farmers, bamboo fields on the top of the mountain? The scenery was magnificent when we reached the top of the mountain, and GPS said the elevation was 750m. We were pleased to see this superb scenery on our drive-thru mountains to reach Huangling. On the way, the road went through many small villages and got narrower with nasty 180-degree curves. Balconies of the houses near the street reached out on the road, + the cables were hanging lower and lower. On the top point, I tried to fly my drone, but it refused, and I don’t understand why. I suspect it is some aviation regulation, or the setting for the drone is maxed at 500m. Where does it calculate it from? Sea-level or start of flying point?

Below are the links for the peak at the mountain at 750m, where we stopped for a short time. You can see how serpentine the road is from the map.

The road was like a snake when passing the mountains to Huangling. The higher we got, the narrower the road was. But it was 100% worth it in the end. This is the peak at 750m up in the mountains. Take this road instead of the highway if you want a small adventure.
There was no campsite in proximity, so we did some boon-docking at the parking lot.
We arrived at the parking lot at the foot of Huangling Mountain and checked out for a space. No camping sites are nearby, so we decided to boon-docked at the parking area. Other campers had the same idea; maybe four other families stayed there overnight. Ample parking lots and service stations are the safest choices when no other place is available.
