On September 15, 2013, the slope of Wudangshan Mountain in the Chinese province of Jiangxi was filled with bright colors. And these were not flowers, not grass, and not multicolored flags of climbers, but 15,000 tourist tents. They appeared there not by chance, but on the occasion of the sixth International Camping Festival, which this year attracted a record number of people.
The organizers have chosen well the place and time of the event. Autumn in China is famous for its velvety weather, while Wudang Mountain in Jiangxi province is famous for its scenic views. Therefore, the participants of the camping festival can enjoy not only communicating with each other, but also from the fabulous nature that spreads around. It is especially beautiful on the mountain at night, when lights are lit everywhere in the tents, and Wudangshan flashes in the darkness like a firefly.
By the way, on the mountain you can place not only a tent city, but also a whole stadium, as the Mexican architects did.
