Shenxianju, it was really worth the visit!!

Since we were already here, we spent two hours walking around the mountain⛰️. The scenery was much better than expected! The mountain is high and steep, lush with vegetation. The path around the mountain is mostly flat, not tiring at all, just like taking a walk on the mountain. Every casual photo looks great! Ruyi Bridge🧬 is also very fun, and the photos taken there are amazing. The mountain is so high, and the bridge is hollow underneath, which makes walking on it a bit scary. 1️⃣ First, arrive at the south gate of Shenxianju Scenic Area. You need to park your car in the scenic area parking lot and walk for 15 minutes or take the shuttle bus to the entrance. It takes about 1 hour to drive from Hengdian, and you can either drive yourself or take a ride-hailing service; it takes about 3 hours from Hangzhou. 2️⃣ Tickets🎫 should be bought one day in advance for 99 yuan. If your plans change, you can cancel anytime. You can choose to take the cable car up the mountain (65 yuan up, 55 yuan down) or hike up. Hiking up takes 1-2 hours depending on your fitness level. The steps are surrounded by trees, so it's not sunny at all. If you want to exercise or lose weight by hiking, you can choose to hike up. 3️⃣ The most popular photo spot, Foying Lianyun🪷, is right next to the cable car terminal. However, there are more people in the morning. I chose to walk around the mountain first and then come back to take the cable car down and take photos. By around 4 PM, there were fewer people in line. It took about half an hour, and each person is limited to one minute for photos. While waiting, everyone watches how others take photos and thinks about how to pose within one minute. Waiting in line is not boring. The mist sprays periodically, and whether you can capture it in your photo depends on luck. After taking photos, you can take the cable car down. 4️⃣ South Gate up the mountain——Lotus Terrace——Yixiantian——Qingyun Ladder——Wolong Bridge——Ruyi Bridge——Foying Lianyun——South Gate cable car down Walking around the mountain takes about two hours, without retracing steps, and you get to see all the classic and fun spots. Foying Lianyun is on the way from Ruyi Bridge to the cable car, making it very convenient. At the cable car station, you can take an elevator to Nantianmen. Since Nantianmen requires an additional fee of 99 yuan per person, I didn't go up. But if you want to, you can go up painlessly and enjoy the scenery.
