Jin Fo Mountain Azalea Blooms in Chongqing, Hiking Route Guide! This guide is all you need

Chongqing Jin Fo Mountain⛰️, a World Natural Heritage site, has North and West Gates, both accessible by cable car🚡. Which gate to take up the mountain? Just read this guide, and I suggest bookmarking it⭐ Transportation guide: - ✅Departing from Chongqing's main city by car🚗, it's about 105 kilometers to the West Gate, approximately a 2-hour drive. At the foot of the mountain is Tianxing Town, convenient for accommodation and dining, with hot springs available. From the town to the West Slope cable car is 1.8 kilometers. This route is shorter in total time, convenient and fast. ✅Departing from the main city to the North Gate is about 124 kilometers, approximately a 2 and a half hour drive, with the last few dozen kilometers being mountain roads⛰️, verdant gorges🌲, and babbling brooks🏞️. People often play in the streams, parking on the roadside, so it's easy to get stuck in traffic. Wild monkeys🐵 roam the valley, not afraid of people, actively seeking food, making this route more fun for those with children. Costs: Entrance ticket 80 yuan per person, round-trip cable car 70 yuan per person. In-park shuttle 10 yuan per person per ride. The ascent from both sides is the same. Prices may vary between off-peak and peak seasons, subject to on-site ticket prices❗❗ ✅Different viewing routes: Below is the viewing route entering from the North Gate 1⃣️Sleeping Buddha: Ascending from the North Gate, you can see the natural "Sleeping Buddha" formed by the continuous mountain tops of Jin Fo Mountain. It's not visible from the West Gate. 2⃣️Alpine Meadows: Coming out of the North Gate cable car, you can see vast alpine meadows, green as a carpet. 3⃣️Viewing Platform: Passing through the meadows, you come to the North Slope Viewing Platform, at an altitude of 2100 meters, overlooking the smaller mountains. 4⃣️Azalea King: This tree, known as the world's largest azalea, has a trunk diameter of 1.18 meters and can be seen from the ancient mountain trail. 5⃣️Sun Cliff Plank Road: A 1-meter-wide plank road is built amidst the sheer cliffs. Gazing into the distance, the mountains undulate, look down at the abyss below your feet, and look up at the steep cliffs, a thrilling experience.
