🚌 Transportation Recommendation
Take Metro Line 1 to Xiwang Station, then transfer to a bus that goes directly to Baoduzhai Scenic Area, very convenient for families with kids, no need to hassle with multiple transfers.
🚡 Hiking Options
You can choose the cable car or walk. The cable car takes 7 minutes to reach halfway up the mountain with a wide view; hiking takes about 2 hours, shaded by green trees along the way. There are gentle slopes and steps between the two peaks. Nantianmen is on the second peak, a bit steeper, but kids aged 5+ can generally manage it!

✅ Wanfo Cave: A summer cooling spot! The Buddha statues inside are magnificent and cool, kids are very curious.

📝 Notes
✅ Free entry time is from 17:30 to 7:30 the next day, but Nantianmen attraction requires a separate ticket.
✅ It is recommended to bring enough water, snacks, wear non-slip sports shoes, and bring a light jacket to prevent temperature differences inside the cave.
✅ Slow down when descending, stretch your calves appropriately to avoid muscle soreness the next day.
✅ Remember sun protection on sunny days, wear a hat and apply sunscreen, so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest!
