3️⃣Hike (6km in total)
We chose to go up by car, and got off when we were 800m away from the top of the mountain. The rest of the way was climbed by ourselves. The road was very steep and a bit difficult to walk. When we were almost at Guanyin Mountain, we had to climb a long flight of stairs.
🌅Evening: Rest at Tongxin Bridge and enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains
