A super detailed guide to Qianling Mountain Park!

A must-see in Guiyang is Qianling Mountain Park! Here, you can see cute macaques 🐒, tranquil mountains and forests, and ancient temples. Is it your first time here and you don't know what to do? Don't worry, this guide will help you explore Qianling Mountain Park! 🎫Tickets Free 📍Route planning 🔸South Gate: If you enter from the South Gate, you will see a large square. Turn left and follow the signs to reach Qianling Lake. You can rent a small boat and enjoy a leisurely time on the lake. Then, follow the path along the lake to the macaque area. Be careful of these "little rascals" along the way, as they may suddenly jump out and ask you for food 😜. Continue walking to reach Hongfu Temple. After leaving Hongfu Temple, walk up the mountain to reach Kanzhu Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Guiyang. 🔸East Gate: If you enter from the East Gate, you will be closer to the zoo. You can visit the zoo first, where you can see all kinds of cute animals. After visiting the zoo, follow the road up the mountain, where you will pass some quiet mountain paths and see many rare plants. You will reach Hongfu Temple, and the route is the same as the second half of the route from the South Gate. 🍔Food recommendations There are some snack stalls in the park, such as Siwawa and Love Tofu, which are worth a try. Siwawa has a variety of side dishes, with various vegetable shreds wrapped in thin pancakes and dipped in a special sauce. It is refreshing and delicious. Love Tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a special chili dip in the middle, making it spicy and delicious. If you want to try more delicious food, there are many restaurants around the park to meet different tastes. 📸Photo spots 🔸Qianling Lake: The lake is sparkling, surrounded by green mountains and trees. It is a great place to take photos of the scenery or people. You can take a beautiful silhouette photo with the lake as the background. 🔸Hongfu Temple: The ancient buildings with red walls and yellow tiles are great for taking Zen photos. For example, you can take photos of the temple gate and the wind chimes on the eaves. 🔸Macaque area: These cute macaques are natural "models", but be careful when taking photos. Don't get too close to avoid being scratched. ⚠️Notes Do not feed the macaques. Although they look cute, they are wild animals and may be aggressive. If you really want to feed them, please do so under the guidance of the staff. Some parts of the mountain road are steep, so be careful and wear comfortable shoes. Hongfu Temple is a Buddhist temple, so please keep quiet and follow the temple rules. Follow this guide to Qianling Mountain Park, and you will have a great trip 🎉.
