5️⃣Self-driving: Navigate directly (Songyang Scenic Area Parking Lot)
6️⃣Night Tour of Mount Song Entry Time: 🎫After successful ticket purchase, from 18:00 on the same day to 06:00 the next day
7️⃣Suggested Climbing Time:
Do not start night climbing too early as it is very cold on the mountain top. It's also crowded if you go early. Start checking tickets and climbing from Taishi Mountain Square. It is suggested to start around 11 pm. There are both slope and stair climbing paths; choose according to your situation.
8️⃣Total Duration
Personally, I think 4 hours is enough at most, and those with good physical strength can reach the top in just over two hours. Check the sunrise time in advance and plan a reasonable start time for climbing.
9️⃣Night Climbing Route and Method
Going up
The first section: Tianzhong Market (Mount Song Scenic Area Entrance) Scholar's Path, Child Prodigy Gate, Scholar's Formation, Tribute Scholar's Position, Top Scholar's List, Mount Song Academy, Immortal Bridge, Wujilvzu Temple, Taishi Mountain Square (Ticket Checkpoint)
⚠️To save energy, you can choose to take the sightseeing car directly to Taishi Mountain Square, the ticket checkpoint.
Going down
⚠️It is not recommended to return the same way. The waterfall has no water, but it's worth seeing, although it requires a detour. But since you've come all this way, why not?
⚠️Some small tips
There are many places on the mountain to watch the sunrise; don't just go to Junji Peak (the viewing platform is small and crowded, you can go early to secure a spot, or choose another suitable angle for photos)
It's windy and cold on the mountain while waiting for the sunrise at night, so be sure to bring a thicker coat!!!
There are too many people on May Day, and it should be fine if you go normally. Take the ropeway for half an hour in line, the main time is in the queue, there are too many people in the ropeway at one time, and they are crowded in. They rush to the ropeway. They should put less people in the ropeway at a time. There are also many people on the shuttle bus, and the overall feeling is not playing, so I have been rushing.
Before I went, I was familiar with living in the world, and I saw Yuelu Mountain. It is known as "the ancestor of thousands of mountains" and "Taishi is like a dragon sleep, and the small room is like a phoenix dance". But after arriving at Lushan, I found that Lushan is nothing special, that is, the second ancestor has four ancient wells with sour, sweet and bitter, and there are not many tourists going to Lushan. Instead, Shaolin Temple under Lushan is crowded. It is indeed the "first temple in the world" Shaolin Temple, and the world's martial arts are out of Shaolin! Attracted a large number of good faith. Two ropeways, of which the Yang cableway is 60 yuan round trip, and Trip.com purchases 58 yuan, which is not expensive.

Instead, Shaolin Temple under the Lushan Mountain is crowded. It is indeed the "first brake in the world" Shaolin Temple, and the martial arts in the world are out of Shaolin! Attracted a large number of good faith from the famous. The facade is not expensive, but with the cableway, the scenic environmental car is expensive.
The Lushan Mountains are from the west to the east, including Wan'an Mountain, Anpo Mountain, Ma'an Mountain, Wufo Mountain, Tanyang Mountain, Yuzhai Mountain, Lushan Main Peak (Junji Peak), Wuzhiling and Jianshan, and the main mountain ranges of Lushan are Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. Lushan has 72 peaks, Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain each occupy 36 peaks. Junji Peak is the main peak, with an altitude of 1492 meters.
I have been here in 2000, and the management was very chaotic at the time. Now it is well organized and very good. I experienced the ropeway, the scenery of Shaoshi Mountain is average, and the scenery under the mountain is more beautiful. It is a little doubt that the monument forest feels that few tourists go, the inside is dirty and the dust is very thick.
Very good, Shaolin Temple is still very interesting and worth visiting. Ctrip is still convenient to book tickets, as long as you take your ID card, all the way. The only bad thing is that there is no channel for teacher tickets. Too many offline windows for the New Year are closed again. I can only buy a full-price ticket.
The Zhongyue Movement is the most important tectonic event in the history of geological development and evolution of the Lushan area. It forms a unified base in the region, which is the end of the basement evolution stage and the beginning of the sedimentary cover evolution stage, and also marks the formation of the unified continent in North China.
