#小岛 #四国 #小豆岛 Hanka Kei, located on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, is one of Japan's three wonders. It attracts countless tourists with its magnificent natural landscape and rich history and culture. The scenery here changes with the seasons. No matter when you visit, you can feel the infinite charm of nature. There are still direct flights from Hong Kong to Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku, so it is very convenient to go to Shodoshima. The formation of Hanxia Creek can be traced back to volcanic activity about 13 million years ago. After a long period of crustal changes and weathering erosion, a unique landform has been formed here, with towering cliffs and strange rock groups. The fresh green in spring, the green in summer, the red leaves in autumn and the snowy scenery in winter make Hanxia Creek a tourist destination suitable for all seasons.

The cabins of the cable car are equipped with large windows, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The cable car journey from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain takes about 5 minutes, but in this short time, you will experience the change of view from the valley to the top of the mountain. In addition to taking the cable car, hiking is also a great way to explore Hanxia Creek. There are many trails in Hanxia Creek. Along the way, you can enjoy the twelve scenic spots on the outside and eight scenic spots in Hanxia Creek. These scenic spots include Tongtian Temple, Hongyun Pavilion, Jinpingfeng, Laoshan Cave, etc. Each of them contains rich natural and humanistic stories.

DAY 57: Remember yesterday I mentioned that the stone wall used to build Osaka Castle came from Shodoshima? Today, when I looked out from the Kankakei Observatory, I realized that Shodoshima is a very famous rock climbing site. Many rock climbing experts come here to compete and exchange ideas. Kankakei is one of the three most beautiful valleys in Japan and a famous scenic spot in the Setonaikai National Park. Here you can enjoy the fresh green of spring, the deep green of summer, the red leaves of autumn, and the snowy scenery of winter, and you can also overlook the Seto Inland Sea; the various strange rocks are also a must-see attraction. These are rocks formed by volcanic activity 13 million years ago. After years of crustal movement and weathering erosion, they have formed a geologically interesting landscape. The Shipozhi Observatory is located in the center of Shodoshima. It is the only plateau on the island, with an altitude of about 777 meters. It offers a 360-degree panoramic view with a radius of 60 kilometers. Since ancient times, it has been described as "the view of the seven cities, eighteen states, one hundred islands and six high mountains"! On clear days, you can see the Seto Inland Sea, including the Great Seto Bridge and the Onaruto Bridge that connect Honshu and Shikoku. In the Shodoshima Monkey Kingdom in the Choshi Valley, more than 500 wild monkeys live freely. The monkey group is divided into two groups, A and B, each with its own leader, and they live peacefully in their own territory. It costs ¥100 to feed the monkeys here and you have to lock yourself in a cage first. Because the monkeys here are all wild, they probably think that the people in the cage will feed them, so as soon as they see someone coming in, the monkeys start to gather around and the food in their hands will be eaten up in an instant. Finally, let me introduce the huge Guanyin statue located in the "Main Temple Shodoshima Daikannon Buddha Tooth Temple". It won the first place in the "ARC International Art Grand Prix" in France, and is therefore known as the most beautiful Guanyin statue in the world. You can pay ¥500 to enter and worship it, and at the same time climb up to the head of the Guanyin statue to enjoy the scenery.

#Travel itinerary Kankakei Observatory Cable Car runs every hour, 12 minutes, 24 minutes, 36 minutes, and 48 minutes. You can buy a cable car ticket through the machine. It costs 2,340 yen for a round trip. The view from the observatory is really great. You can see the islands in the distance, and if you're lucky, you can even see Takamatsu. You should definitely plan a visit to the Kankakei Observatory for your Shodoshima free travel course. There is a market near the top where you can buy simple snacks, souvenirs, and even eat, but since it's on top of a mountain, the taste isn't that great, so I recommend looking for somewhere else to eat.

#Travel itinerary When I finally arrived at the Olive Park stop, the bus heading to Kinkakei was arriving soon. There are buses from Olive Park to Kinkakei very often. If I missed it, I would have to wait for over an hour, but I couldn't see Olive Park, the setting of Kiki's Delivery Service. Unfortunately, I left Olive Park behind, and took the bus to Kinkakei. Kinkakei Observatory is the most beautiful observatory in Shodoshima.
