Avoiding May Day, there are not many people and basically do not queue up. B&B accommodation is generally lower than holidays. Halfway up the mountain, it rained lightly, the temperature dropped a lot, and it was cold to wear a thin coat... A few friends were brave to climb the mountain... The top of the mountain ate fried potato cakes and drank ginger tea... and ate a beautiful meal.
Historically, Binchuan belongs to the territory of the poison, so it does not need to be accidentally made a place for the Buddha's disciple, the Jaye, because the His Holiness did not need to apply for a visa when he came. It is also a rare place for the integration of the three major Buddhists of Han, Tibetan and South. This is also a sacred place of the fairy mountain that the two Buddhist Taos have jointly built. Naturally, there will be no shortage of energy fields for spirituality and practice. The practitioners will have a good situation and harvest here, and the non-practice people will also get corresponding and growth with their own self-contained Tibetans.
Jizu Mountain is really good. There are many particularly beautiful temples along the road. The carvings are very good. The temple corridors are made of marble! Then if this mountain is physically good, it is suitable for hiking up the mountain! The scenery is particularly good, and there are many temples on the mountain road. If you can't see it directly by the cable car, both of us girls can climb up. Everyone can rest assured to climb! It takes about 3 hours to climb up. It rained heavily when we went, and then the mountain was full of fog, and nothing could be seen from the bottom, but the feeling was still spectacular! Very grand! If you want to climb the mountain, friends should not go up the mountain to eat, because there are monkeys around, we brought food, and then the monkeys are waiting for us in the middle of the road.
There are many charges throughout the whole process, and the bus is charged many times. I think I have to make it clear in advance, otherwise it will be a long walk (3 kilometers of mountain roads). The carrying capacity of the cable car needs to be strengthened. The queue for the Spring Festival is close to 2 hours, and the next hour is 1.5. The tour time is about 7 hours. The number of walking steps is about 15,000 steps.
The ropeway is very long, the scenery is very good, I saw the beautiful scenery, the food is delicious, the chicken feet sour rooster potato jelly is delicious, although the queue time is long, but the child is very happy, the experience is full
