I heard there's also a parking lot at the North Gate, which is said to be closer to the mountaintop and passes by Haihui Temple.

I entered from the West Gate. Strollers are allowed throughout, but it's recommended to choose a lightweight one. It's still a bit steep to push uphill, and you need to fasten the safety belt when going downhill.
