i was there on a rainy day, so it was all my fault i did not check the weather first. make sure you go there on a sunny day or a fair weather. make sure you book in a hotel that is near the bus station. they have their own bus station that goes to certain starting points. the earlier the better because i noticed that even if it was rainy and it was wednesday there were still so many people lining up to go there. do not bring your drone with you. they do no allow drones. they kept my drone in their office. when you reach the starting point (for me it started with Cinguage- i think i forgot) note: Take the cable car even if it is 90 rmb. it will save you time going up. Walking way up is not worth the climb. It took me around 5-6 hours reaching the top. by the way the entrance ticket is 190 rmb. the entrance for walking way up is different. i was walking my way up then suddenly there was a ticket check. i told them nobody asked me to purchase a ticket. they told me there is an office down. i was angry because i have to walk way down again to purchase the ticket from the office. they should not allow or open gates in the office if when you are already there on the top and they ask you for a ticket. what a waste of time. And yeah my journey going to the top started in the temple thingy maybe 930 am i forgot and i reached the top after 3pm... that was crazy walking way up. only very few, maybe less than 10 people were walking up. and i saw lots of people going down. So my suggestion for you is to take the cable car up and if you still have time you can go down walking and see some other spots. Going down walking by the way is 2.5 hours... cable car ride is just 15 minutes...
