It took us quite some time to walk down. The descent takes about 20 minutes, depending on the person~!! When we were going down, we also touched the spring water, it was really cool!! Feishuitan has two check-in points, one at the top and one a little lower down, but be careful not to fall down.

Pay attention to the time when going down the mountain, the sightseeing car has a cut-off time~!! After coming down the mountain, we tried making zongzi. We didn't try the kind with a lot of ingredients, we ate the sago zongzi which cost one yuan each!! Delicious!! ‼️Note: There is a Wanda Plaza nearby where you can go for a meal, but don't come back too late because you might not be able to get a taxi. Don't ask! Asking means having experienced it. Then it takes about 30 minutes to walk back from Wanda Plaza.
