Anhui·Jiuhua Mountain｜It’s enough to be optimistic about this guide

🚌Transportation🚉

Jiuhua Mountain, the pearl of Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, is about 40 kilometers away from the nearest high-speed rail station, Chizhou Station. 🚖A taxi will cost about 90-100 yuan. However, when you walk out of the high-speed rail station, there is a mysterious free bus directly leading to the scenic spot waiting for you on the right (surprise!). The only task is to spend 50 yuan here to buy a round-trip pass to the scenic spot. Although there aren’t many departures, it’s an affordable option for going up the mountain. 🚌The bus is also a good choice. It costs 12-15 yuan per ticket and runs every half an hour. It will take you to the visitor center leisurely.

When you arrive at the visitor center, buy a bus ticket to Yingkesong Station, wind up the mountain for half an hour, and then buy tickets for the scenic spot to enter. Tickets are 160 yuan, suitable for all ages, and there are discounts. Remember, tickets are valid for 3 days, so don’t forget to register again when you visit again.

🏠Accommodation🌄

Accommodation in Jiuhuashan is simply a matter of choice. At the foot of the mountain, the transportation is convenient, you can go up and down the mountain every day, and the price is moderate; on the mountain, you save time, especially Jiuhua Street, but the price is a little more expensive. It depends on your preference.

🚶Tours🌲

The core scenic spots of Jiuhua Mountain, Jiuhua Street in the front mountain and Tiantai Mountain in the back mountain, are extremely beautiful. The majesty of Huacheng Temple, the mystery of Moon Body Palace, and the magnificence of Centenary Palace are not to be missed. On the 88 south gate steps and at the bottom of the 99 north gate steps, feel the heaviness and release of every step.

Tiantai Temple, that is a journey that requires persistence and perseverance. Whether it's a six-kilometer winding mountain road or a two- or three-hour step challenge, the temples and scenery along the way are enough to make you forget your fatigue. If you don't want to walk, the ropeway is another option, but the stairs to the rooftop are even more of a challenge.

In addition, Jiuhua Mountain also has Huatai Scenic Area and Dayuan Cultural Park waiting for you to explore. The flower terrace is a viewing spot that has only been developed in recent years. If you are pressed for time or encounter bad weather, you can choose to skip it. As for the Dayuan Cultural Park, where you can see the 99-meter Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue, admission is free, but you can still choose to pay for an in-depth tour inside with a paid sightseeing bus.

Finally, if you are a hiking enthusiast, the path between the flower terrace and the rooftop is definitely worth exploring. Remember, every step is a scenery, every scene is a story. ✨🌟🍃
