Xinyang Lingshan, a secret holy place where sincerity is rewarded! My roommate and I used our student cards to uncover the secrets for free. Are you tempted by this impromptu blessing trip? Take the yellow minibus, shuttle through the streets of Xinyang, and go directly to the foot of Lingshan. Although the journey is long, the scenery along the way is refreshing. Stepping into Lingshan, every step is devout. Although the sightseeing car is convenient, it is not as good as walking on the wide oil road by yourself. Along the way, "Fudu Bridge" and "Black and White Road" quietly tell stories. Burning incense and praying for blessings, the incense is not expensive, and you can bring your own. Every devotion is worthy of respect. On the Lingyuan Terrace, the wish card and the wish lock are full of hope. I chose the omnipotent card to pray for the future, and I was attracted by the mysterious divination. But remember, behind the "kindness" of the enthusiastic aunt, there may be a promotion of the opening of goods, stay awake, and refuse unnecessary expenses! What is your wish? Come to the comment area to share your blessing story, or tell me about your Lingshan adventure! Let us feel the wonderful power of sincerity together.

Lingshan I brought breakfast and water, and also took Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, but it's okay with fewer people and it won't get heatstroke with the wind blowing I set off at more than ten in the morning on the 8th, but it was more than eleven, I bought an adult ticket for the whole cable car, free for Zhejiang people. This cable car is really good value, I walked to the left when I went up, around 12:10 to the depressed Monkey King and walked forward. The uncle who sold water said there was a tightrope walking performance at 1:30, so I waited there until 1:30, the performance was okay, the wind was too strong, the whole process was about ten minutes. Then continue forward, all the way I feel like I'm always uphill, maybe I walked the wrong way, but every granite landform landscape is in front of the scenic spot sign, it seems like I didn't walk the wrong way. (The granite appearance and some names feel hard to fit) I feel that nature is very magical all the way, and the distant scenery is also beautiful when viewed from above. There are construction sites during the period, but they are all blocked, just follow the road. I started to go down at about three o'clock, my knees hurt when I walked, maybe both sides are the same. I walked for more than an hour to the cable car entrance. (I took the cable car directly down and walked because I was going to Wangxiangu Valley) I went to Lingshan, Sanqingshan and other places where the cable car went up, it seems to be almost the same. It's quite cool on Lingshan, but it's hot when walking, sun protection masks, hats, sunglasses and so on didn't bring much in the end, the wind has been blowing, sometimes the clouds will block the sun, it's quite good with the wind blowing. I didn't take many pictures, what I saw with my eyes is more beautiful. Everyone just look at it, but this ticket is quite worth it
