Qianshan Limited Edition Guide | Unlock Niche Secret Routes

🌿 Qianshan is not just "another mountain"! A local's guide to Buddhist retreat.

👍 Reasons to recommend
The Internet always says that Qianshan is "just ordinary mountain scenery" and "climbing the mountain is exhausting", but locals will tell you - it hides the most effective Buddhist affinity in Northeast China! 95% vegetation coverage + "natural oxygen bar" certified lung-washing resort, 99 peaks hide ancient temples from the Tang Dynasty and cliff stone carvings from the Song Dynasty. You can also watch the stars while soaking in the hot springs! I recommend it because it can simultaneously satisfy the triple immortal cultivation experience of praying for blessings, hiking, and lying flat!

📅 Travel Guide
Best time to visit: May–October (super cool for summer heat, maple leaves in October are amazing)
Number of days to play: 1 day (highlights) or 2 days (hot spring + in-depth tour)
Must-see attractions:
1⃣ Qianshan Giant Buddha: The largest granite stone Buddha in Asia. Touching the Buddha's feet to pray for blessings is very effective;
2⃣ Longquan Temple Loop: 90° steep stone steps + ancient pine secret realm, timid people should be cautious but the photo rate is 100%;
3⃣ Natural Oxygen Bar Trail: Hike in the shade, with explosive negative oxygen ions, instantly transforming into a "human vacuum cleaner";
4⃣ Tanggangzi Hot Spring: A must-soak after going down the mountain! Thousand-year hot spring with starry sky, even saves you from using a fascia gun!

🍜 Food Guide
Locals secretly recommend 👇
✔ Anshan Shaomai: The skin is so thin that it is transparent! The sauerkraut filling at the Lao Yuanzi Restaurant is amazing;
✔ Hot Spring Boiled Eggs: Boiled with Qianshan hot spring water, the egg whites are chewy and have a natural sweetness;
✔ Qianshan Tofu Feast: Even monks would want to return to secular life after eating it! Recommended vegetarian chicken and tofu pudding mixed with mountain vegetables;
✔ Night Market Grilled Lamb Skewers: 5 yuan/skewer of charcoal-grilled aroma, paired with ice-cold beer, directly transports you to the Northeast Jianghu!

🏨 Accommodation Guide
🌟 First choice for hot spring lovers: Beihaihui Hot Spring Hotel (Siheyuan private soup + imperial health dishes, taking pictures is like traveling through a Qing palace drama);
🌟 Must-stay for Buddhist youths: Qianshan Dafosi Hotel (sleep with morning bells and evening drums, open the window to see the sea of clouds);
🌟 King of value for money: Jiatai Chain Business Hotel (CNY 194/night, 5-minute walk to the scenic spot)!

💗 Other TIPS
1⃣ Sunscreen metaphysics: Apply SPF30+ even on cloudy days! The penetrating power of Qianshan's ultraviolet rays is comparable to consecration (don't ask me how I know);
2⃣ Dressing secrets: Non-slip shoes + gloves! Skirts will be exposed on 90° stone steps, and skateboard shoes will allow you to experience "butt-sliding down the mountain";
3⃣ Budget reference: Ticket CNY 72/2 days, battery car CNY 15/section, hot spring hotel from CNY 500;
4⃣ Hidden benefits: Get free tickets for the second entry by taking a photo! Remember to register with the staff on the first day;
5⃣ Avoid pit guide: Scenic spot blessing lock CNY 30/piece, it is more cost-effective to bring your own small lock (sincerity is the key~).
