~Here’s a super practical one-day tour guide for Lingshan, please check it out📩
Everyone, quickly save this! A nanny-level guide tested on both cloudy and sunny days is here~
💰 Cost Breakdown:
▪️ Scenic area ticket + cable car round trip 175 RMB
(Money-saving tip: Buy on Trip.com one day in advance for only 165 RMB~)
🚌 Transportation Pitfall Guide:
9:30 Depart from Shangrao East Bus Station
👉 Buy tickets in advance on Didi Station Bus (one-way 15 RMB)
⚠️ Heartbreaking reminder: The return bus only runs at 16:00!
(Missing it means you’ll really be feeding mosquitoes on the mountain❗️)
⏰ My Itinerary:
10:03 🚶♀️ Arrive at the scenic area
Choose to walk 10 minutes or take a sightseeing bus for 5 RMB to the upper cable car station
10:18 🚠 Queue for 10 minutes to take the cable car
(Weekends are crowded, so it’s recommended to start before 8 AM)
🌟 Stunning Route:
➡️ Must-choose Route 211👉
5 minutes straight to the popular "Sky Mirror" photo spot
(Unfortunately, the foggy weather that day made it impossible to capture reflections😭)
➡️ Super magical "Cloud Elevator" experience!
A total of 10 escalators, surrounded by fairy-like mist, feeling like ascending to heaven✨
🍔 Mountain Top Food Guide:
The convenience store halfway up the mountain has a fairly good variety
Instant noodles 13 RMB|Zhengxin chicken steak|Grilled sausage
(But it’s more cost-effective to bring your own snacks)
🌫️ Weather Bonus:
Although we encountered the "three-piece set" of cloudy, heavy fog, and strong wind,
The misty mountain scenery was very atmospheric,
Much better than the pure white scene at Sanqing Mountain last time~
🌈 Lucky Moment:
13:45 ⚡️ The sky cleared up!
Brief appearance of blue sky and white clouds + stunning "Dragon Ridge" view
(Took over 100 photos and flooded my social media📸)
14:54 Successfully caught the return cable car
15:19 Just in time to board the 16:00 bus back to the city
💡 Hard-earned Experience Summary:
1️⃣ Sunny days are the first choice! You really can’t see clearly on rainy or cloudy days
2️⃣ The 800-meter altitude difference is huge, bring a jacket
3️⃣ The return bus interval is very long, remember to set an alarm⏰
4️⃣ Wear non-slip sports shoes, the mountain path is so steep it makes you question life
5️⃣ Apply sunscreen generously! The UV rays are very strong
📍 Scenic Area Address: Wangxian Township, Guangxin District, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province (about 40 minutes from downtown)
🕒 Opening Hours: 8:30-17:00 (last entry at 15:30)
