We visited the West District of Mangshan. The entrance fee is 80 yuan, with children free. Self-drive vehicles are free, and parking is also free. The Monkey King Village scenic area is located near a rafting transfer station. There's a caged monkey house with two monkeys at the entrance. We walked for 20 minutes into the area, reaching the Water Curtain Cave, but then returned. We didn't see any wild monkeys. We passed a small stream near a hydroelectric power station, and the children had a blast playing in the water. So, bring some clothes. We didn't visit General Village. The road to Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area is steep and winding, so drive carefully. The parking lot is small, so we parked on the side of the road. We bought a one-way ticket for the Tiantai Mountain elevator, which cost 36 yuan for adults and 18 yuan for children. Since we wanted to watch the sunset, the elevator stopped at 5:30 p.m., making it difficult to get up and down. Sunset was at 6:30 p.m. on our day. After ascending the cloud ladder, we first climbed the First Peak of Central and Southern Taiwan, which requires some stamina. Alternatively, you can skip the climb and visit the Longevity Pagoda. The First Peak of Central and Southern Taiwan offers a sunrise view from the platform of the Five Finger Peak, the highest point in the West District, with beautiful views. From the First Peak of Central and Southern Taiwan to the Longevity Pagoda, you can watch the sunset all the way down the mountain. Drinks and snacks are available at the Wanshou Pagoda. From there, we continued north to the Guanyin Temple Alpine Rhododendron Observation Deck and the Xiaotiantai Observation Deck. The road was mostly flat, and the journey to the Xiaotiantai Observation Deck took over 20 minutes. The Xiaotiantai Observation Deck offers another platform for viewing the Five Finger Peaks and the sunrise from the west side. We then returned to the Wanshou Pagoda to watch the sunset. Afterward, we walked down the 660 steps from the Wanshou Pagoda parking lot, which took 20 minutes. The total hike took over five hours.
