Zhongyue Mountain, Taishi Mountain, and the best scenery is here

The best time to visit Zhongyue Songshan Mountain is between late autumn and early winter, especially Taishi Mountain. The colorful trees, including yellow sumac, oak, and green pine, are like blooming flowers in spring, competing for beauty. If you have some knowledge of Songshan Mountain, you should know that Shaoshi Mountain is rich in culture, while Taishi Mountain is known for its beautiful scenery. The mountain is covered with green rocks and peaks, and there are three routes to climb Taishi Mountain. Now it's time to choose the most beautiful route. Recommended loop route (avoid the crowded middle route with many steps) Ascent: Songyang Scenic Area Ticket Office → Yingjia Bridge → Gebi Pool → Yingfeng Pool → Jubao Pool → Heilong Pool → Luya Waterfall → Yixian Sky → Meteorological Station → Baihe Temple → Sanji Shengmu Temple → Junji Peak Descent: Junji Peak → Tianye Temple → Yunu Bridge → Fawang Temple → Songyue Temple Pagoda → Shenban Slope → Geological Museum → Visitor Center Travel tips ① After entering the scenic area for the first time, the ticket office and boarding point for the sightseeing bus are on the right. The one-way fare is 15 per person, and the bus goes to Taishi Mountain Square, Fawang Temple, and Yingjia Bridge. Go directly to Yingjia Bridge, where there are fewer steep steps and you can enjoy the scenery, but the journey is long and some sections are relatively primitive and full of wildness. ② There are few supply points on the Luya Waterfall section, so it is recommended to prepare enough supplies, especially water. The meteorological station is the largest rest point, with a supermarket selling instant noodles and sausages. ③ After climbing the mountain, enjoy a delicious meal. Dengfeng spicy fried knife-cut noodles (Hongchang Special Knife-cut Noodles), stewed mutton (Mingyou Mutton Restaurant), and sesame-covered biscuits (Mingyou Restaurant) are three must-try local delicacies. Other notes Supplies: Water and food at the entrance are cheap, so try to buy them in advance. It's best to bring your own trekking poles or buy them near Songyang Academy. Cheap ones cost 3, and telescopic ones cost 20. You can bargain, and they are really useful. Transportation: First, navigate to the Shaolin Temple toll station. ETC is free for Henan A license plates. Then go to Songyang Academy to reach Taishi Mountain. You can also take a bus to Dengfeng Bus Station, then transfer to the newly opened Songshan Scenic Area Express Line. The one-way fare is 5, and the all-day ticket is 12, with unlimited rides. A taxi or Didi ride costs less than 20. Tickets: If you want to visit Songyang Academy and Songyue Temple Pagoda, you can buy a 79.9 combo ticket. If you just want to climb the mountain, you can buy a 50 full-price ticket for Taishi Mountain or a 100 Dengfeng Pass.
