We recommend Jinsha Cableway, which is 1 km shorter, easier, and has better views. 3️⃣After exiting Jinsha Cableway, turn right and walk clockwise along the figure-eight loop. You will pass the highlights of Python Mountain and Oriental Goddess. The second half of the route is mostly downhill, which is much easier. 4️⃣The cableway stops operating at 17:30, so make sure you have enough time to go up and down the mountain. 5️⃣We recommend Sunshine Coast for sunrise and West Coast for sunset.
