Hushan | Go hiking, climb the life-threatening Hushan

At 10 o'clock in the morning, we took a taxi to the Lushan slide cableway. There were many people climbing the mountain on holidays, and the queue had already lined up to the gate. The staff also issued stools for tourists to queue up. We bought a package of 65r for the uphill cableway and downhill slide. After buying tickets on the spot, we can take the cableway with the current team. It takes about 1h from queuing to getting on the cable car, so it is recommended to get up early and start climbing. After getting off the cable car, we first went to the viewing platform to overlook Qionghai, which is very suitable for taking pictures, but the sun is baking here, although it is cool in the mountains, it is still recommended to bring a sun hat or wear sun protection clothing. A few steps up from the viewing platform is the Sanfu Temple. After a simple visit, we entered the mountain road and soon encountered many monkeys. In fact, there are monkeys all the way to the Guanyin Pavilion, just because there are shops selling peanuts here, so there are more monkeys gathered. There are fierce monkeys, who will grab the water and bags of tourists, and those who deliver food will also be very excited, so in order to avoid attacks, put food such as water in the bag, and don't deliberately provoke monkeys, protect yourself. Of course, there are also gentle monkeys, either waiting for feeding with their hands, or lying on the rocks for a nap. The monkeys are not afraid of people, as long as they don't really hit their faces with their phones, they won't attack you. There is a bathroom when you climb to the Guanyin Pavilion. Above the bathroom is a pavilion. If you go forward, there is a great view. There are not many people. The trees seem to have left a vacant lot for overlooking Qionghai. Under the blue sky, it seems to be bluer and more beautiful. This is simply a natural viewing platform. Here at the Guanyin Pavilion, there is a signpost indicating the way to the God of Wealth Temple. Follow the signpost until you see a small staircase leading to the temple. Go up the steps, there is a small shop run by a couple: dumplings, ice powder, fried potatoes, and tea. Sitting in the dam is very cool, listening to the Buddhist music of the temple, there is a sense of Zen. We climbed here, about 2.5h, one is that we can't climb up physically, and the other is that the top of the mountain is still far away. We estimate that we are afraid of less than half of the journey (with a guide map). We returned to the position of the cable car and took the slide. I have to emphasize again to climb the mountain early, because everyone goes down the mountain at almost the same time, and basically they all go down the mountain by slide, so the queue for the slide is longer, and it feels like it can be queued for 1h, and there are few people at the cableway. In order to save time, we chose to take the cableway down the mountain. Unlike the uphill facing Qionghai, the downhill is facing Qionghai, which is also considered to have lost the fun and picked up the scenery.
