The Panshan Highway from the "Visitor Center" to the ropeway station in the scenic area is more than 30 kilometers, which also means that tourists must take the scenic shuttle bus, 60 yuan to and from the scenic area, and the price is too long. The scenic spot is roughly divided into 3 sections: the first section is the visitor center to the ropeway station, and there are two Taibai Mountain cableways: "the world ropeway" from the next station "red ping" directly to the upper station "the round place" (because this place is 3511 meters above sea level, commonly known as "3511"), you can take a step to the most labor-saving time, plan to climb the top of the day must sit. 3.

The coniferous forests on both sides of the snow are very spectacular. I came to the closed iron plaque without knowing it. I was forbidden to go further. I could look far away at the "Xiaowengong Temple" on the stretching mountains, but I could not see the peak, that is, the "Pu Sendai" at an altitude of 3767 meters. Pu Sendai is5.2 kilometers away from Xiaowengong Temple in a straight line. But the mountain road is awkward, the actual length is longer, to climb the top must be brushed twice." - No.12
