travelling guideline:
1. Every year from the Lunar New Year to the Qingming Festival, pilgrims from Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Suzhou and Wuxi flock to the temple. In front of the Dragon Palace of Fuxing Temple, incense smoke fills the air and crowds of people gather. The grand occasion is unprecedented and becomes a major landscape on the mountain.
2. Although the Zilai Cave is cool, it is also very humid, so it is not advisable to stay there for too long.
3. The scenic spot has several entrances and exits. The main entrance is on Yuhuangshan Road near the China Silk Museum in the north. The two more commonly used entrances are near Baguatian Heritage Park in the south. Usually tourists go up the mountain from the former and down the mountain from the latter. There is a winding road at the entrance of Yuhuang Mountain Road that allows you to drive up to the Fuxing Temple on the top of the mountain, but the walking experience is better.
