I regret coming here. I didn't expect that the Yandang Mountain where Xu Xiake visited three times is so beautiful.

There is a fairy mountain in Zhejiang, famous for its beautiful scenery, known as "the famous mountain on the sea, the most beautiful in the world"; it is also one of the three mountains and five peaks, and was rated as a "World Geopark" by UNESCO. Even Xu Xiake came here three times. This is Yandang Mountain.
Recommended 1-day tour route for Yandang Mountain in winter: Fangdong-Woyun Plank Road-Lingyan
Fangdong
There are three dripping springs in the cave, and the accumulated water is drinkable. There is a plank road of more than 100 meters at the entrance of the cave, which was carved along the natural rock, hence the name Fangdong Plank Road, also known as the "Silver Cliff Sky Corridor". The plank road includes the Knife Cave, Yuntian Bridge, Hanging Golden Bell, Plum Blossom Cave, Juxian Pavilion and other scenic spots. Woyun Plank Road
This is a newly developed medium-high mountain slow-walking trail in Yandang Mountain, with a total length of 1.3 kilometers. It changes the traditional "viewing the peaks from the valley bottom" tour mode of Yandang Mountain and connects the two major scenic spots of Fangdong and Lingyan.
Be sure to experience the Woyun Plank Road and feel yourself wandering in a natural landscape painting, with clouds and mists lingering when you look up and deep ravines when you look down. Lingyan
One of the three wonders of Yandang, it is famous for its vivid and varied peaks and rocks. It brings together some of the famous natural landscapes such as Tianzhu Peak, Xiaolongqiu, and Wolong Valley. The Broken Heart Cliff in the filming location of The Return of the Condor Heroes was also filmed here.
Opening hours of the scenic area: 6:30-17:00.
Transportation: The high-speed rail can directly reach Yandang Mountain. Yandang Mountain Station is only a dozen minutes' drive from the scenic area, very close.
You can take the scenic bus between the scenic spots. The intervals are not long. A 3-day ticket for the scenic bus costs 40r, and a 5-day ticket costs 60r.
You can also drive by yourself. Each scenic spot has free parking lots, and you can drive directly to the corresponding scenic spot parking lot.
Tickets: 
Fangdong 40r, Lingyan 50r, Fangdong + Woyun Plank Road + Lingyan combination 80r.
Accommodation & Food
I recommend Xianglingtou Village in Yandang Mountain, which is very convenient for food, accommodation and transportation.
Tips:
You can also go the other way, that is, "Lingyan-Woyun Plank Road-Fangdong". However, I personally recommend going to Fangdong Scenic Area first. Fangdong Scenic Area is located at a higher position, and there are fewer uphill steps from Fangdong to Lingyan, which saves energy and is suitable for most people.
