Route up the mountain:
1. Take the first-level and second-level cableway for the whole journey, and it will take about 2 hours to walk.

2. First take the first-level cableway, then the second-level cableway and then climb up the mountain. This is the choice of most people. You still need to walk for about 3.5 hours
3. Hiking the entire journey - there is a map at the Wugong Mountain Visitor Center. There are several hiking routes according to the map. Go, the whole journey takes about 6.5 hours

Downhill route:

1. The specific methods and plans can be the same as above or you can change the direction to see a different scenery
2. Going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain. Pay attention to the steps on the road.

About accommodation

1. Tent: Contact the person who rents the tent online or on Meituan in advance to book it in advance, or rent it at the bottom of the mountain. There is a big temperature difference at the top of the mountain, so those with children must keep warm.

2. Hotel or inn:

① Yunzhongwu Inn: I stayed at 160 including breakfast and dinner. It takes about 30 minutes to go to Jinding. I am relatively slow. It is very convenient to watch the sunrise when I get up in the morning. Meituan has the price.

②Hefeng Inn: under the Golden Summit, close to the Golden Summit, about 10 minutes’ walk away, check the price on Meituan

③Yunzhihai Inn: I heard from a friend that we couldn’t get a room when we went there on the day when the local area is most popular. It’s the closest to the Golden Summit, so we must book it in advance. There are a lot of people on weekends.

About sunrise

The sunrise time is around 5:30
If you stay in the Golden Roof Tent, you can see it directly when you wake up in the morning. The inn I stayed in is directly at the door, but it is not particularly good because there is a mountain blocking the view. So if you want to see a more beautiful sunrise, I suggest you go to Jinding

The sunset time is about half past six
The location of the Yunzhongwu Inn where I stayed was not very good for watching the sunset, so I chose to climb the Golden Summit to watch it. The Golden Summit has a good view and an observation deck, where you can enjoy "clicking" wipe"
