Yaoshan Scenic Area is not suitable for hiking. There are several places that are too steep, especially some sections of the Qinglongbei trail. Going down the mountain is difficult, and going up the mountain probably requires all four feet...

Yaoshan Scenic Area is quite large, which is a huge test for physical strength. It is best to take the cable car and then walk the necessary sections. It is mainly for mountain climbing exercise. Sometimes it is very cool, but most of the time it is sweaty!

Yaoshan Scenic Area, also known as Shirenshan Scenic Area

Located in the west of Lushan County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, on the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, and the source of Shahe, the main tributary of the Huaihe River, it is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, a national geological park, a national ecological tourism demonstration area, and the first batch of national tourist resorts. The total area of ​​the scenic area is 268 square kilometers, and the main peak, Yuhuangding, is 2,153.1 meters above sea level, which is a mountain-type natural landscape. Shirenshan combines &quot;majestic, dangerous, beautiful, strange, and secluded&quot; in one, combining the majestic and steep mountains of the north with the beautiful mountains and rivers of the south, and is known as &quot;the only beauty in the Central Plains&quot;. The Shirenshan Scenic Area has towering peaks, strange rocks, majestic waterfalls, secluded pools, and excellent hot springs, and is very rich in tourism resources.

Shirenshan was called Yaoshan in ancient times. According to historical records such as &quot;Bamboo Annals&quot;, during the reign of Kongjia, the seventh emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Liu Lei, a descendant of Yao, lived in Lushan and built the Yao Temple on Shiren Mountain to commemorate his ancestor. The mountain was named Shiren Mountain because there are many stone peaks on the mountain that resemble human shapes.

It is recommended to take the 100 yuan cable car to go up. If you don&#39;t take the cable car, it is almost impossible to reach the Stone Man or go up to the Jade Emperor Peak. If you walk to the Jade Emperor Peak and then walk down, most people can&#39;t do it.

Go to the ticket office of the scenic spot, buy a ticket, take the scenic spot&#39;s small transportation to the lower station of the cable car, and then take the cable car or hike up the mountain. It takes dozens of minutes to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. After getting off the cable car, the more than one kilometer plank road to the Jade Emperor Peak is almost the entire essence of the mountain, and you can enjoy the mountains in the distance.

After arriving at the Jade Emperor Peak, you can walk from the Stone Man to the upper station of the small cable car, and then walk the iron plank road to Qinglongbei from the upper station of the small cable car. The second essence is the beautiful scenery. Go down the mountain to the slide via Qinglongbei and the suspended iron plank road. At this time, no one wants to take another step. After taking the slide down the mountain, there are more than three kilometers of mountain roads to the lower station of the cable car, and take the scenic car to the ticket point.

The section from Yuhuang Peak to Shiren to the upper station of the small cableway is almost entirely on foot. The scenery is blocked by trees and the slope is steep. The journey is long and physically demanding, whether going up or down.

It is recommended to take the large cableway and walk more than one kilometer to Yuhuang Peak, then take the large slide, then go to Qinglongbei, then take the small slide, and then walk down the mountain. The large cableway is 100 meters up and 80 meters down.

Beside the highway, a colossal Buddha statue stood majestically halfway up the mountain. Entering the scenic area, the air was filled with the sounds of Buddhist chanting; it wasn't crowded, and free incense was available. The entrance fee was 34 yuan on Ctrip; touching the Buddha's feet and taking the elevator up cost 20 yuan. There were also shuttle buses available if you didn't want to walk. The entire experience offered a variety of options in terms of time and physical exertion. Climbing to the top brought peace of mind.

There are many steps, at least more than 1,000 steps from the mountain gate to the Buddha. You can take the elevator to the feet of the Buddha and hug the Buddha&#39;s feet.

The Buddha&#39;s majestic appearance stands majestically at the foot of Yao Mountain, surrounded by nine layers of mountains. The holy water of Shahe River flows in front of the Buddha all year round, and the Buddha Spring is rich in landscape resources and beautiful environment. In 2011, the Central Plains Buddha Scenic Area was listed as a national 5A tourist attraction.
