❄ About climbing
This is a mountain that does not require climbing. The cable car crosses about 5-6 mountains and takes about 20 minutes to reach the top.
✔ High-altitude cableway
It only takes 18 minutes to experience the longest single-line cableway in China, 3.7 kilometers, and feel the sensation of being in the clouds
👉 Includes escalator + 140-meter-high Motianling elevator
-
Then walk along the plank road, which takes about 3-4 hours to walk around the mountain. There are elevators and escalators in places that require climbing, suitable for the elderly and children.
✔ 8-kilometer cliff plank road
You will pass through Yao Terrace, Golden Toad Worshiping Buddha, Reflection Pool, Jinbian God Pillar... a different view with every step, shuttling between cliffs

✅ Snow appreciation tips
1⃣ The weather changes a lot, check the weather 1 week or 3 days in advance to avoid a wasted trip!
2⃣ The snow season is crowded! There are queues for cable cars and sightseeing cars, so it is best to allow 2 days.
3⃣ It is recommended to buy crampons in advance! The quality in the scenic area is not very good! The snow mountain is very slippery, and you can't get in without crampons.
