We had fun on our daytour at Jinfo Mountain last weekend! It was a snowy week and so we took the chance to see the snow this year. It was Monday but there were so many people but the whole place was huge and we were able to take so many pictures!

Getting There - There is a direct bus from Chongqing long-distance Bus Station to Nanchuan, departing every day from 8:30am till late. From Nanchuan you can find many local buses heading to the mountain. When the sunshine falls on the Grand Jinfo Mountain, it looks like a giant Buddha shining with boundless golden radiance, hence the name. The entire scenic area has two slopes with distinctive attractions for sightseeing. @VickWalks and I spent the entire day trying to find a trail that hasn’t been stepped on for a long time and we failed due to limited knowledge of the mountain landscape of this area. Nonetheless, it was fun to explore this area and appreciate the beauty of this “Golden Buddha Mountain” #china #hiking #nationalpark #naturalwonders

Getting There - Jinfo mountain is located in Nanchuan which is 2 hours away from Chongqing inner city. During the Summer it’s beautiful clear endless sky and in winter there is lots of snow! This scenic hike will definitely be worth the time with cableways to help you to the higher levels. Attractions - Skiing, hiking, cable way, Giant Golden Buddha Hotels - Just outside the gate is a hot spring and hotel perfect for relaxation after the mountain. Food & Restaurants - Food everywhere, inside and out of the Scenic park. The surrounding local towns are very beautiful to drive through if you have time. Enjoy. #christmasgiveaway #christmaslights #skiing #nationalpark #vickwalks #decembertravel #nyedestinations #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide

Chongqing locals are tight-lipped! They won't tell you how fun Mount Jinfo is! Mount Jinfo is the go-to place for Chongqing locals. It's super convenient to drive there from the city center. We chose the west slope and navigated to the parking lot at the west gate of Mount Jinfo Scenic Area. We then bought tickets at the visitor center and entered the scenic area. We took the shuttle bus to the cable car station and took the cable car up the mountain. The steep and long cable car ride was so thrilling! On the first day, we saw many activities and cosplayers after we went up the mountain. We were so happy to take photos with them. Then we went straight to the north slope ski resort. There were many snow activities, such as snow tubing and snow bear dragging. The kids had a great time. Further inside was the ski resort. As a beginner, I was able to ski slowly under the guidance of the safety officer. Although I fell a few times, I was really happy. When we were tired, we went to the restaurant on the second floor to eat lamb soup. The lamb with skin was tender and the soup was delicious. It was so cozy to look at the snow outside the window. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Jinfoshan at night. The view of the snow-covered mountains outside the window was amazing. On the second day, we went to the Gufu Cave, which is worthy of the title of the No. 1 Buddha Cave in the world. The stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars in the cave were in various shapes. The stone Buddha and 1,250 Arhats were so impressive. Then we went to the Jinguichaoyang. The mountain looked like a turtle in the sunlight. Finally, we returned to the west slope to see the ice waterfall. The crystal-clear ice waterfall was perfect for photos. In my opinion, Mount Jinfo is really fun. Both skiing and sightseeing are great. I suggest you book tickets online in advance. There are many people on weekends, so set off early. Keep warm. Don't forget your hat, gloves, and scarf. Wear bright clothes to take better photos.

|A winter wonderland in Southwest China. If you live in Southwest China and want to experience the joy of snow, you can't miss Jinfo Mountain in Chongqing! There are not only exciting snow activities, but also many delicious foods and beautiful attractions to satisfy all your winter travel fantasies. 🎿Jinfo Mountain offers a wide range of snow activities!

You can choose between double and single boards, and safety officers will be there to protect you. Coaches will provide one-on-one lessons to help you become a skiing expert in no time! 🏔In addition to skiing, Jinfo Mountain has many attractions worth visiting. The "Golden Turtle Facing the Sun" mountain shape looks like a golden turtle under the sunlight, and you might even encounter cute squirrels along the way. Don't miss the Gufu Cave, a natural karst cave formed millions of years ago. The cave is magnificent, with thousands of Buddha faces that are awe-inspiring and mysterious. The underground river and dark lake are crystal clear, and the lighting creates a dreamlike atmosphere, as if you've entered another world. 🌌This year, the "Endless Starry Sky, Ice and Snow Myth Season" lantern show at Tianxing Town is a visual feast. The carefully recreated mythical beasts from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are vivid under the lights. Don't forget the ice waterfall at the cable car station, which is crystal clear and perfect for photos. Every shot is a masterpiece. 🥘After skiing, head to the restaurant on the second floor of the ski resort to enjoy a steaming hot lamb soup pot while admiring the snowy scenery outside the window. The lamb has no gamey taste, and the skin is soft and chewy, bringing a sense of happiness with every bite. Paired with the local specialty bamboo shoots from Nanchuan, which are crispy and flavorful after absorbing the lamb soup, this low-fat and healthy dish is a perfect match for the lamb soup pot. Here's a guide: Stay on the mountain: Spend the night at the Jinfo Mountain Holiday Hotel, located 2,000 meters above sea level.

|||. Nanchuan Jinfo Mountain·National Day Travel Notes of College Students |||Jinfo Mountain is a national 5A tourist attraction, also known as Jinshan. It was also called Jiudi Mountain in ancient times. Nanchuan City is located on the southern edge of Chongqing City. The southern part of Nanchuan City belongs to the northern end of the Dalou Mountains. The main peak, Fengchuiling, is the highest peak of the Dalou Mountains, with an altitude of 2238.2 meters. Jinfo Mountain is composed of Golden Buddha, cypress branches and Qingba. The natural landscape mainly includes cliffs, canyons, strange peaks, caves, ecological stone forests, springs and waterfalls, and meteorological landscapes. The reason why Jinfo Mountain got its name is from the earliest Song Dynasty poem in Nanchuan, "The Ballad of Looking at Jinfo Mountain": Towards Jinfo Mountain, at dusk to Jinfo Mountain, where the Golden Buddha and Cui Wei are shrouded in clouds and mist Whenever it is sunny in summer and autumn, the setting sun and the setting sun reflect the layers of cliffs in a magnificent way. Like the golden Buddha, it hands over ten thousand rays of rays of light. It is extremely spectacular and beautiful, hence its name. ‼ ️Opening hours 09:00-17:00, admission stopped at 15:30 (Monday to Friday) 08:30-17:30, admission stopped at 16:00 (Saturday to Sunday) Ticket price: 8⃣️0⃣️ in peak season / 7⃣️0⃣️ in off-season (with student ID🪪, enjoy half price with senior citizen ID card!)

Shuangye Bridge is the only retreat point for the cableway up the mountain. 2️⃣The road surface is slippery on rainy days and some roads are covered with moss. Hiking shoes are recommended. 3️⃣ Friends who are hiking have planned their time. It will still be a bit rushed to enter the scenic spot and go down the mountain at 10 o'clock. Return trip 1️⃣Get off the scenic bus, walk to the entrance of "Yixiantian Convenience Supermarket", and wait for the bus from "Nanchuan West Bus Station". 7 yuan/person, the last bus is at 18:00, and stops at any time on the road. 2️⃣The bus to Chongqing needs to be taken at "Nanchuan Passenger Transport Center (East Station)".

#hikingtime Chongqing-Nanchuan is located in the south of Chongqing, at the intersection of the Guizhou and Hunan economic zones. It is distinguished by excellent geographical conditions, delicate ecology and rich tourist resources. It is popularly called the "backyard garden" of the Chongqing Urban Area. Jingfo Mountain is a 5A National Scenic Area located in the north of the Damao Mountain Range and covers an area of 1,300 square kilometers, with the highest peak at an altitude of 2,238 meters. There are three wonders here: the World Natural Heritage in the form of karst, biodiversity and Buddhist culture. It is a tourist destination that combines sightseeing, recreation, adventure and scientific research. Jingfo Temple is an ancient temple built during the Tang Dynasty, with a 7-meter-high golden statue of Buddha Maitreya. Jingfo Ridge is the main peak of Jingfo Mountain, from the top of which there is a view of the entire picturesque area. Jinfo Cave is a huge karst cave with strange stalactites and stalagmites and an underground river. When entering the temple immediately feels that you are entering another alter world, such kind of feeling. It is dark there, pretty dark around but this shady atmosphere calms down, slows mind, make you feel body weights less. But truly remarkable thing is a long cave with thousand monks sculptures. Why I pointed that those sculptures are so remarkable? The reason is there is no duplication at all! Each one is absolutely different! Like there are no the same two human in our world, in this place you will not find any two similar sculptures or statures of monks. All of then are different. It includes body shape, faces, age, height, skin color, clothes, attributes and objects in their hands. We were absolutely impressed by such masterpiece of amazing work which I will call no doubt as a superior form of art. Highly recommended for visiting! Jinfo Temple is located inside of Jinfo Mountain or Golden Buddha Mountain Scenic Spot, the temple is secured totally undeground, do not miss it!

#hikingtime This is one of the most characteristic and representative scenic spots in the Jinfo Mountains. Compared to other stone forests, there are also stone peaks and stone curtains, and the landscape resembles a stone forest. But the difference is that the local stone forest is a symbiotic miracle, full of vitality, like a sage hidden in the primeval forest of the sky and the sun. This is a real Shilin forest (Shilin 石林, which means stone forest), with many fantastic compositions of bamboo, moss, trees reaching up to the sky and making their way through granite boulders with their roots. There were a lot of art titles and descriptions, such as “dragon's foot on a rock” or “white horse" . From this place, you can go out onto the road and take a minibus to any end of the park at the top of the plateau that is really interesting. However, it is better to continue walking through the stone forest and the azalea garden and returned to the path leading to the cliff. At one point, I would like to share all pictures I took during this amazing travelling in the Stone Forest. It was interesting to see how the lighting changed during the day. After the main entrance to Yan Kou Cave, then a little further, past the collapsed entrance to Ling Guan Cave. We actually saw the swallows after which it was named. Another path to the rocks, and then an observation deck. This stone forest is a real maze! Thank God, there are a lot of arrows pointing where to go and tourist maps at intersections. Visiting this stone forest was an unforgettable experience. If compared to the other stone forests I have visited, this one have a magic grid, the feeling like you entered fairy tale forest, because of ubiquitous moss. Highly recommended to visit for true hiking lovers!
