We walked the Baishi Mountain Grand Loop Line, which basically covers the beautiful scenery of the entire scenic area. Starting from Jiecaiyuan, there are three routes: upper, middle and lower. After reading the blogger's sharing, we decisively walked the 🟠️ yellow line first (mainly downhill steps and cliffside plank road), and took the cable car up the mountain at Feiyun Cableway (to save energy, otherwise it's all uphill steps). At this time, we arrived at the 🔵 blue line, "Shanmengtai" direction has less stairs and more parallel plank roads, which is easier to walk, and you can enjoy more scenery. When you reach "Wind and Cloud Meeting", you will reach the 🟢️ green line fork. You can go to "Buddha Light Peak" from here, and then return to Jiecaiyuan along the green line. You can also continue walking the blue line to "Five Elements Platform" and return to Jiecaiyuan. 3️⃣. Enter from the east gate and exit from the east gate, choose the bus for both uphill and downhill. Mainly because of the fear of queuing during holidays, but people who get motion sickness should be cautious, almost vomited on the return bus. Both the bus and the cable car go from the east gate to Xiangyunmen. It takes 10 minutes to walk from Xiangyunmen to Jiecaiyuan. There is no need for an electric car. Be sure to take the Feiyun Cableway when walking the loop line. 4️⃣. Because the child is not old enough, Via Ferrata cannot be played (two conditions must be met: 14 years old and 140 cm tall). We walked two glass plank roads, and the Flying Fox Hero Plank Road is more interesting and relatively thrilling. 5️⃣. Natural Corner Cafe may be early, except for us, there are no other customers. Have a cup of coffee and take a break, enjoy the beautiful scenery, it's really comfortable. 6️⃣. Clothing: Long T-shirt + jacket + thin down jacket + autumn pants + jeans, mainly for warmth. The lower line is not so cold, the middle line starts with the mountain wind, the cliffside plank road is the coldest, the upper line walks through the forest and has many steps, so you will sweat when you exert yourself. 7️⃣. This place also belongs to a part of Fangshan World Geopark, there are many introductions written as Fangshan something or something. I deliberately used Baidu to learn about it. 8️⃣. During the holidays, there are many activities in Jiecaiyuan Square. You can also get a stamp booklet for climbing and stamping by filling out a questionnaire. You can see historical introductions and historical relics at the Tourist Service Center of the East Gate, including the Battle of Huangtuling, Wang Erxiao, and Dr. Bethune. 9️⃣. Accommodation: There are many guesthouses at the foot of the mountain. We chose Han Hong Farmhouse, which is 100 meters away from the East Gate Tourist Center, and the guesthouse has its own parking space, which is very convenient.
