Standing on the mountain, you can sometimes see Chengdu Plain and Gongga Snow Mountain.There are scenic spots such as the Huazang Temple and the Ten Fang Puxian Bodhisattva icon.
After taking the cable car, only a few minutes of shaking, we can see the golden top, and can stay in the golden top for 40-60 minutes. The experience at Jinding is wonderful - the glittering golden Buddha statues, the magnificent temples, the endless sea of clouds, the fresh air, etc.
Next, take the cable car and shuttle bus back to the peak (the original way up the mountain), and of course, if you want to see more, stop at Wannabe Temple and then hike for a while, which you can discuss with our guide.
