Qianshan, the leading peak of the Changbai Mountain range, is also known as Qianding Mountain, Qianhua Mountain, and Qianduolianhua Mountain. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong personally visited Qianshan and left inscriptions there. Qianshan's most famous attractions include the Tiancheng Giant Buddha, Jiabian Stone, Tianshangtian, Yixiantian, Yibudengtian, and Wufoding.

I took an 8:00 AM ticket to Qianshan. The hike was a little over five minutes long and tiring. Remember to bring plenty of water; the mountain is quite expensive. We took the Tianwaitian cable car down from the Five Buddha Peak. The cable car is average, with two round-trip trips. If there are a lot of people, the line can be quite long. The scenery is nice, though it can be a bit steep in some places.

This time, there were eleven people in the group, two elderly people took the battery car + cable car to the Five Buddha Peak. Three adults + 6 children walked to Jiabianshi, Tianwaitian, and Yixiantian. It was very interesting and the scenery was very good. You don&#39;t need to climb very high to see the good scenery.

🌟&quot;The South China Sea is vast, the top of Liaodong, the journey of Qianshan&quot;🌟
🏞During the short holiday, my family and I embarked on the journey to the top of Qianshan. Since I had just conquered Phoenix Mountain the day before, the difficulty of this trip to Qianshan suddenly soared for me! But even so, the beauty of Qianshan is still amazing. Although it is tiring, it is definitely worth it!

Qianshan Scenic Area is vast and it is difficult to walk through it in one day. We chose a classic and challenging route:
📍Start from the main gate (walk up the mountain) &rarr; cross the Wuliangguan Square &rarr; visit Wuliangguan &rarr; enter the Sanguan Hall &rarr; worship Laojun Hall &rarr; experience the wonders of Jiabian Stone &rarr; climb Tianshangtian &rarr; cross Yizitian, Qichongtian, Jiuchongtian &rarr; look up at Tianwaitian &rarr; stroll through Yuxiaguan &rarr; climb Foshou Peak &rarr; finally reach the top of Wufoding &rarr; take the Wufoding cableway down the mountain &rarr; walk back to the main gate, the whole way is full of steps and undulating mountains.
👉【Play experience】:
Qianshan is a holy place for Taoism and Buddhism, with many temples and views, strange peaks and strong pines complementing each other, and ancient temples standing in rows. The temple buildings here are perfectly integrated with the mountain. Some are located on the hillside, some are built on the top of dangerous peaks, and some are hidden in the mountains, exuding an ancient atmosphere of years of precipitation, as if people are in the long scroll of history.
👉【Tips for playing】:
1⃣ It takes about 3.5 hours to walk from the main gate of Qianshan to Wufoding. Although Qianshan is not difficult, there are many steps, which puts a certain amount of pressure on the knees.
2⃣ If you want to climb to the top with less effort, you can first take an electric car to the Wufoding cableway, and then take the cableway up the mountain. After getting off the cableway, you only need to walk a short distance to reach the top. The cableway is open from 7:30 to 18:00.
3⃣ Remember to bring food and water to replenish your energy. Although they are sold on the mountain, the price is slightly higher. Wear comfortable shoes. The wind on the top of the mountain is strong, so you can prepare a coat. At the same time, don&#39;t forget to take sun protection measures.
4⃣ It is recommended to set off as early as possible on holidays. There are fewer people in the morning and the air is fresh. We started climbing at 6:30 and reached the top at 10:00. The whole process was moderately crowded. But please note that some tourists will choose to take the cable car to Wufoding first and then walk down the mountain, so there may be short congestion in narrow places.
5⃣ The souvenir shop at the exit of the scenic area provides stamping services, don&#39;t forget to leave your footprints! 💖

Today is Women&#39;s Day. Ladies can visit Qianshan for free. I went to Xiangyan Temple at the south gate. I arrived at 1:30 pm. There were few people. I walked about 1 km to the temple. The ticket is 30 yuan on normal days. It costs 40 yuan to drive up. The temple is not big and very quiet. The mountain breeze is very special. The 1300-year-old Panlong pine is really shocking. The Buddha statue in the temple is made of jade and is very exquisite. You can climb Xianren Terrace after leaving the temple gate. It seems to be the shortest route.
