Songshan Scenic Area (嵩山风景名胜区) in Dengfeng blends dramatic mountains, ancient temples, and misty valleys. Best photos come with sunrise fog and late-afternoon raking light across peaks and stone steps. Go on weekday mornings for fewer tour groups; weather is cooler in spring/autumn and often hazy in summer.
