Water fun & Cool Retreats

It's better than I thought. I didn't know this place after living in Beijing for so many years. Maybe it was inconvenient before the Beijing-Weihai Expressway was opened. Now it takes only two and a half hours on the expressway. It's very convenient. The scenery is also very good. It's worth a visit.

The scenery in the scenic area is nice, and the canyon with mountains and water is a good experience.
I give a bad review for the scenic area service. I was notified that I needed to go to the ticket office to exchange for paper tickets when I arrived at the entrance of the online ticket purchase. I had no choice but to go back and forth for about 500 meters. I can&#39;t understand why there is no text or voice prompt at the ticket office or along the way to the entrance? The staff said that the parking lot screen scrolled prompts, but I looked for it after leaving the scenic area, but I couldn&#39;t find where it was pointing. Is this prompt for yourself?

It&#39;s a very amazing scenic spot. I didn&#39;t expect it to be so good. It takes two and a half hours to drive from Beijing! The service in the scenic spot is also very good. It is worth visiting. Get up a little earlier and play in the scenic spot for three hours. You can go back and forth from Beijing on the same day.

A treasure-level niche attraction with few people and beautiful scenery. Key points: 
1. The tour route must be based on the principle of keeping to the right. Go up to the stream to see the water, and go down to see the mountains. The scenery is excellent and different. Otherwise, not only will you miss the best angle to see the scenery, but the left side of the mountain is too steep, and some sections are extremely difficult to climb. It is much easier to go down.
2. Jinhe Temple is the farthest point that can be climbed in the scenic area, with an altitude of 1,345 meters. From the parking lot to Jinhe Temple, it takes about 2 hours to go 2 kilometers. There is a suspension bridge about 100 meters behind Jinhe Temple. The roads and attractions are closed after the suspension bridge.
3. Pagoda Forest: 50 meters below Jinhe Temple, the 4 brick towers on the side of the mountain are national key cultural relics protection units and belong to the spiritual towers of ancient monks. (The cultural protection monument is 50 meters outside the ticket gate of the scenic area 2 kilometers away) It takes 25 minutes to go back and forth 400 meters. The highest tower is 1,414 meters above sea level. The mountain view and stream here are very good and worth the extra effort. Since there are no guardrails on the steps, it is recommended that the elderly and children be cautious.
In addition: There is a farmhouse behind Jinhe Temple, which provides accommodation and catering. It is about 2.5 kilometers from the Xiaowutai exit of Jingwei Expressway to the scenic spot, which is very convenient. Parking is &yen;2.5/hour. It is recommended to scan the code in advance to pay in the parking lot. If you follow the principle of keeping to the right, the overall climbing difficulty is not large, and both the elderly and children can do it. The scenic spot is suitable for roaming. If you bring your children, you can play in the water while visiting. There is only one flush toilet in the visitor center, which needs attention.

We set off at 3:30 in the morning, arrived at Dongtai at noon, and arrived at Sancha at 5 pm. We were so tired that we vomited blood. The next day, after breakfast, we traveled to and from Nantai with light luggage, which took 6 hours. We packed the tent at noon, and set off for Xitai after lunch. We stayed at Xitai for a short time, and went down the mountain. My feet were blistered. Every step was painful. The 8 liters of water I carried were consumed. I had less than 1.2 liters of water when I went down the mountain. My throat was smoking. We chartered a car back to the starting point. I was thirsty with a can of cold beer. I was sore all over. It was difficult to get on and off the car. I paid a heavy price for my small goal of going through Wutai Mountain in a row.
