Both cities were built during the Ming Dynasty, and some parts of the city walls and gates still exist.

The weather today is very good. I booked a ticket for 9:20, queued up to enter the scenic area 10 minutes in advance, and took the minibus in the scenic area to the lower station of the cable car (you can also see some nice scenery on the way). I chose the hiking route to climb the mountain. Before entering the trail, the staff in the scenic area will register the information and inform that it takes 4-6 hours. I spent 3 hours climbing to the upper station of the cable car. The trail process is very comfortable with many plants, and you can also feel the tranquility of the mountains and forests. Basically, there are very few other people on the way, but you must hike within your capacity!!! When I arrived at the upper station of the cable car, the flow of people began to increase. Here, if you walk fast, you can book an entrance to the Red Cloud Golden Summit. If you are slow, you should be able to book at the Mushroom Stone. The concept of time in Fanjing Mountain is very strong! The tickets and the number of Red Cloud Golden Summit are very punctual. If they are overdue, you need to re-book the entrance. You can't enter in advance with the tickets! The Old Golden Summit does not need to be booked. It takes about 40 minutes to climb the Old Golden Summit from the Mushroom Stone. There are some particularly steep steps on the way, and you need to assist with the iron chain on the side. Because there are many people on the Red Cloud Golden Summit, it is slow to walk, and it takes about an hour to queue up, so it's not so tiring if you walk slowly

How many people want to visit Mount Fanjing after watching aerial videos? 😁 Personal experience (ascending and descending via the East Gate) 1️⃣ Make sure to book your tickets a few days in advance, so you can choose an earlier time to enter the scenic area. 2️⃣ Definitely arrange to stay near the scenic area the day before, so you can reach the main entrance of the scenic area within a few minutes' walk. 3️⃣ If you are young, I don't think it's necessary to worry about which path is less strenuous; they all seem about the same. After getting off the cable car, take the wooden plank path up, and in half an hour you'll reach the Mushroom Stone, then ascend to the Red Cloud Golden Summit, take another path down to Pudu Square, then up to the Old Golden Summit, and follow the downhill path to the cable car station. 4️⃣ It's recommended to travel light, just bring 1-2 bottles of water and some snacks, and store the rest. The storage service at Mount Fanjing is not free, and the last picture has a list of charges. Also, drones are not allowed on Mount Fanjing. 5️⃣ It's suggested not to buy the return bus ticket in advance (during the off-season) because you don't know what time you will come down the mountain. After descending, you can directly purchase tickets at the service center.
