“After the rain, green mountains still hold the clouds, painting four or five peaks in the southeast.”
This line by the Tang Dynasty poet Lang Shiyuan is the most fitting description of Tianzhushan at this very moment.

As the rainy season arrives, several unexpected showers have brought Tianzhushan into one of its most tranquil and enchanting times of the year.
If you are looking for a cool summer retreat, then rain-washed Tianzhushan is truly a hidden escape you should not miss.

After the Rain

The mountains look newly painted

Lift your eyes and you will see peak after peak layered in deep green.
After the rain, the mountains seem especially lush, as if someone had repainted them with a fresh brush — brighter, clearer, and full of life.
In the distance, the peaks appear and disappear in a fine mist, like a long ink painting that has only just been completed and has not yet had time to dry.

The clouds are the gift left behind by the rain.
They are in no hurry to leave, instead lingering lazily around the mountainsides, gathering and dispersing, thickening and thinning.
When the wind begins to move, the drifting clouds animate the whole mountain.

A Deep Breath

The scent of Tianzhushan’s “Three Riches”

Tianzhushan has long been known as a land rich in selenium, zinc, and negative oxygen ions.
After the rain, this natural gift feels even more abundant than usual.
The pine needles shine as if freshly washed, and the scent of pine mixed with damp earth rises through the moist air.

Take a deep breath, and the air feels crisp with a hint of sweetness.
It clears the lungs and refreshes the whole body.
This is a true natural oxygen bar, and one of summer’s most luxurious forms of coolness.

Perfect for Hiking

Cool breezes and gentle mountain light

At this time of year, Tianzhushan is free from scorching sun and exhausting heat.
The stone steps are slightly damp, making each step feel steadier.
The tree shade is dense, and the light filtering through the leaves falls softly, almost like poetry.

Now and then, a cool wind passes through the forest carrying the freshness of the mountains, leaving you clear-minded and invigorated.
When you reach a higher point and turn back to look, the sea of clouds may already be spreading beneath your feet.
And in the distance, four or five green peaks rise as though newly painted — exactly the living scene described in Lang Shiyuan’s verse.

The Mountain Waits

A quiet summer invitation

After the rain, Tianzhushan feels less noisy and more profound, peaceful, and serene.
This summer, give yourself a break and come to Tianzhushan for a 20°C rendezvous with coolness.
Among green mountains and white clouds, you may just rediscover a long-lost sense of inner calm.
