Try and make sure you go to the quote "posterior" part of the mountain. The little village at the base is well worth a meander. We caught the cable car up to the first station and then walked down. About 2 hours but well worth it for the scenery and the experience. Pathway is concreted all the way so it... More

I was there alone on a Sunday morning. I have only 2 hours for this trip before heading to the aiport. Thus, I was delighted that I can employ a guide to plan my trip and explain the significance of this origin of Tao Religion. The mountain is serene, has a brand new cable car system after the 2008 quake.... More

Good mountain, nice stairs all the way up and good walk in some fresh air. Temple at the top is interesting. Take the cable car to avoid a very long hike up the mountain if you want. It is worth it. More

Good quiet, beautiful place. Worth a day-trip. However if you were choosing between here and mount Emei. Emei is by far the better mountain. More

The lush greenery along with the humbling scale and architectural detail of the temples was amazing. People of all ages, from very small children to great grandparents, all trek together to enjoy the amazing scenery. This is a good trip for those who appreciate nature, architecture and walking. With that said, make sure you bring your walking shoes [unless you... More

We got there around 1pm and there were so many people we could hardly breathe. We chose not to wait in the line of at least 50 people long and pay RMB 90 to get into the mountain. We left. If you go, go early morning. The bus #101 from the irrigation sight went straight to the entrance, very easy... More

Liked: The backside of the mountain is a lot more quiet than the side with all the temples. The temple side has too many tourists. I rarely complement tourist attractions in China, but this is a MUST SEE place if you are in Chengdu. Disliked: The touts trying to sell you everything from accommodations, trinkets, to their 1st born. If... More

Given the pollution in Chengdu, this is a great day out to refresh the lungs. Avoid the ferry! and the cable car and hike it. The temples are amazing and the mountain soaks up the people. However dont do as in Rome and try the hike in high heels! it just doesnt suite! Take a picnik and there numerous places... More
