💰 120 RMB round trip ticket, 10 minutes straight to the summit! The winding mountain road can deter those prone to motion sickness, so cableway is recommended～

💰 70 RMB, definitely worth it! Attractions are scattered on the mountain, having a bus is really convenient! Recommended to buy the ticket after arriving on the mountain
