Most of the trail is flat, with a total length of about 1.7 kilometers. It can be completed in about an hour if you walk slowly. If the weather is good, it is very comfortable to walk. If it rains or it rained the day before, the soil will be muddy and walking will not be so comfortable. The stones are also slippery, so you need to be more careful to avoid slipping. There are a lot of little monkeys. It is safe to look at them from a distance and not feed them. There are many small and young monkeys. #Local Tour After the hike, you can go to the nearby Dishuifang of Fo Guang Shan University to have a vegetarian meal (open at 11:00), and you can also see Guishan Island in the distance. It is a great way to take care of your body, mind, and stomach.
