The park is really big. It may take 2 days to visit all of them. The entrance fee is 50 CNY. The cable car is 60 CYN(2 way). The Cable car mountain took me 3 hours to explore. Remember to bring water with you.
This place is stunning, one of the UNESCO site. It's not the easiest to get to, but totally worth it. The area is made up of 3 area of different mountain group. Of which, 2 areas have paths set-up for trekking/hiking. While the last (furthest from entrance 1 is natural hike) location - locals suggested for us to not visit as many hikers get lost with no signals there. We completed each area in 3 hours without much stops. Can be strenuous if you're not usually active. If you're looking to do a leisure strolling pace, might want to consider a 2D1N here. Tickets are valid for 48 hours from date of purchase. Purchase the tickets outside the entrance (ignore the touts and go straight into the official purchasing counter). Once you enter the main entrance there are free buses every 30minutes to bring you into each area's entrance. Along the mountain trails there are small shops around to purchase snacks and drinks. Regular paths are rather clear - no guides needed. We didn't take the forest paths. Be prepared to see endless natural mountain views. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Amazing red sandstone landscape with weird landforms and very rich religious and cultural relics. One of the 'must see' places before I die.
Huge world heritage mountains in Guangdong, China. The tourist packages include sail a bamboo boat along the river and enjoy the views of mountains.
Nice area to walk around, beautiful area but highly suggest you don't go around Chinese public holidays or even weekends if you can help it - the crowds and lines to get up to the peaks can be huge.
