Just 1 hour from Beijing, go to the fairy mountain where Emperor Qianlong once toured to enjoy the autumn scenery

Emperor Qianlong said, "If I had known about Panshan, I wouldn't have needed to go south to Jiangnan." Now it's our turn, ordinary people, to visit this wondrous mountain once toured by the emperor! With the arrival of autumn, the entire mountain is dressed in colorful attire. The vibrant forests blend beautifully with the thousand-year-old pines, rugged strange rocks, and babbling clear springs. You can walk along the timeworn "Imperial Path" stone road and converse with history, and also climb high on a bright autumn day to take in the vast autumn views. It’s perfect for a family holiday hike. 【Tour Routes】 Easy Route: 1. Main Entrance ➡️ Sightseeing Bus + Guayue Cableway up the mountain ➡️ Yunzhào Temple ➡️ Guayue Peak ➡️ Nantian Gate ➡️ Yunsong Cableway down the mountain ➡️ Wansong Temple ➡️ Walk down the mountain 2. Main Entrance up the mountain ➡️ Rusheng Cableway ➡️ Wansong Temple ➡️ Yunsong Cableway ➡️ Yunzhào Temple ➡️ Guayue Peak ➡️ Guayue Cableway ➡️ Sightseeing Bus down the mountain The whole trip takes about 3-4 hours, suitable for visitors like me who prefer a relaxed experience, combining walking and photography.

Then take the 28-minute Yunsong Cableway down the mountain. The cable car passes through a sea of colorful forests, as if you are inside a flowing painting, fully immersed in the scenery! This experience is my first time, so I highly recommend it~ Sitting in the cable car slowly rising, watching the forest below like a spilled palette, the immersive beauty is truly intoxicating.

Tiancheng Temple: Home to two 774-year-old ginkgo trees, paired with a golden ancient Buddha relic pagoda, stunningly beautiful. Tiancheng Temple to Wansong Temple: Along the way, various oddly shaped rocks. Wansong Temple Pagoda Forest: 99 stone pagodas standing tall, very spectacular. Yunzhào Temple: Newly renovated temple, resplendent in gold and jade, with two golden ginkgo trees reaching their prime. Guayue Peak: The highest point of Panshan, at 864 meters altitude, with the Dingguang Buddha relic pagoda at the summit. 【Helpful Tips】 1.
