A One-Day Tour of Qianling Mountain｜Hiking in Guiyang's "City Lung"

Finally found the must-visit "City Lung"!
Every breath here is filled with the scent of grass and trees🌿

🌳 Natural Oxygen Bar Hiking Notes:
Stroll freely through 2,400 acres of greenery!
Towering ancient trees filter the harsh sunlight into gentle patches of light✨
Healing green scenery all around, with cicadas and birdsong as the background music
Even hiking beginners can easily reach the summit~

🙏 Zen Experience at Hongfu Temple:
A thousand-year-old ancient temple hidden on the mountainside
Incense wafts between red walls and green tiles (open 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
Spend 10 RMB to get a blessed bracelet📿
Listening to monks chanting is truly soothing

🐵 Meet the Wild Macaque Troop:
Over 200 wild macaques waiting for you to feed them!
Remember to hide your snack bags well⚠️
Or you might get robbed by the monkeys on the spot (don’t ask me how I know)
The baby monkeys’ fluffy looks are irresistibly cute

🛶 Immortal View of Qianling Lake:
Captured the oil painting scene of blue sky and white clouds reflected on the lake!
Rent a small boat for 30 RMB/hour🚣
Watch the shimmering waves break the mountain shadows into fragments
Every snap is a screensaver-worthy masterpiece

💯 Practical Tips:
✔️ Wear non-slip shoes! The mountain paths are a bit steep
✔️ Bring peanuts to feed the macaques
✔️ Avoid the midday sun exposure
✔️ Hongfu Temple requires a separate ticket (2 RMB) inside Qianling Mountain Park
