1 hour from Beijing 🚗! This severely underestimated treasure mountain, I won't allow you to not know about it! National Day reverse travel was a huge success! We went to Jizhou to perfectly avoid the crowds, and our first stop was 📍 Panshan. The sacred mountain that Emperor Qianlong visited 32 times truly lives up to its reputation, and its energy field feels exceptionally strong! ✔ Outdoor forest oxygen intake ✔ Ancient temple meditation and prayer ✔ Chinese trendy fun interactions ✔ Hand-picking persimmons It's simply a perfect day trip tailored for the whole family! ✅ Super comprehensive itinerary: Mountain Gate Plaza Activities → Sightseeing bus + Guayue Cableway up the mountain → Yunzao Temple → Guayue Peak → Dingguang Buddha Sarira Pagoda → Yunsong Cableway down the mountain → Pagoda Forest → Tiancheng Temple → Suxia → Sanpan Muyu ‼️ Important tips: - The sightseeing bus going up the mountain usually doesn't require much waiting, but the cableway going down has a long queue. If your physical condition allows, it's recommended to walk down, as most of the beautiful scenery along the way is concentrated in this section! - The Chinese-style activities are only available from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM, so be sure to go early! First, get a "silver note" to interact with NPCs and play games. ✔ Feihualing Q&A ✔ Touching Mahjong tiles ✔ Pitch-pot Successfully completing challenges can win you more "silver notes," which can be exchanged for unique cultural and creative gifts. ‼️ Beishaolin Temple is also worth a special trip; it has the Dabao Pagoda from the Ming Dynasty, but you'll need to drive there. 📸 Stunning photo spots: P1-2 Guayue Peak (breathtaking panoramic view) P3 Yunzao Temple (ancient temple and sea of clouds, a perfect match) P5 Pagoda Forest (full of historical charm) P6 Tiancheng Temple (nestled by mountains and water, serene and elegant) P7 Emperor Qianlong's Calligraphy (experience the emperor's brushwork) Other practical tips: The mountain produce this season is especially abundant.
