The rooms are spacious, with independent air conditioning, clean bedding, and the hotel is located in the pedestrian street at the entrance of the Buddhist cultural tourism area. It is very quiet, and the commercial area of the pedestrian street has not been developed. There is no one at night, and the hotel is probably affiliated with the tourism area.

On-site tickets and car tickets are 110 yuan, and online tickets are 98 yuan. You can buy another person's ticket online.
Liuding Mountain is not high, it seems to be called Liuding Mountain because it is composed of six small mountains (just seems). Standing next to the lotus seat of the Great Buddha, which is the highest point, you can feel it.
The main part of the Buddhist tourism area is Zhengjue Temple, which is well-made, meticulously managed, clean and tidy, and visitors feel respected. There is a seated Buddha at the highest point.
Visitors should pay attention to their personal conduct, at the very least, do not litter or throw cigarette butts casually.
There is a Thousand-Hand Guanyin Hall (pavilion style), the palace design is very beautiful and rare nationwide. The Thousand-Hand Guanyin inside is an extraordinary design! In a few years, it will become a valuable heritage.
The three main Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall are poorly sculpted, with a bit of a hunched shoulder and a forced, insincere smile. They are failed sculptures.
