🌞 In Fengcheng, if you only have one meal, you must try the Yuan Roasted Beef, highly recommended ribs, I regretted not ordering two plates after eating, beef fried rice recommended, order other dishes as you like. Search for 'San Zhong' (school) and turn left at the entrance, you will see it, the door has a Yuan character as shown in picture one
🌞 Mountain climbing tips! Definitely take a car from the mountain entrance to the ticket office, do not walk up, it's unnecessary and too exhausting. There are cheaper methods posted by others, you can check their notes. Buy anti-slip gloves at the foot of the mountain for two yuan a pair (very necessary), no need to buy a walking stick, it's not convenient to carry on the rugged mountain path, the dried tofu rolls with green onion on the mountain are too delicious, three for five yuan, eat one and you won't make a peep, no need to bring too much stuff, instant noodles, grilled sausages, cucumbers, etc. are all available on the mountain and not expensive.
