Journey to Kongtong Mountain, the first mountain of Taoism in China!

The first mountain of Taoism in China, Kongtong Mountain in Gansu! Mountain climbing strategy to save energy; Kongtong Mountain is located in Pingliang City, Gansu Province, it is the first Taoist mountain that is leisurely and out of the world. It is the fortress of the Silk Road going west out of Guanzhong, although it is located in the northwest, but the forest coverage rate 🌲 is over 95%! The summer temperature is only 25℃. 🚗Transportation 👉Pingliang does not have ❌high-speed rail station✔️you can take the train here. You can also drive by yourself. 👉Take bus No. 13 to Kongtong Ancient Town or Kongtong Mountain. Bus No. 13 is easy to wait for. There are still buses at six o'clock in the afternoon, and the scenic area closes at seven o'clock. Pay attention to the time. 🎫Ticket ⛩️Ticket: 110 yuan/person (peak season 55 yuan/person (off season) Online package ticket, ticket + bus a total of 155/person. ⛩️The ticket for the car going down the mountain from Zhongtai can only be bought at Zhongtai, 32/person. Ancient town to Xiangshan: 48 yuan/person, cable car: 50 yuan/person ⭐Route🧵There are three: 1⃣️Special forces buddies, you can choose pure hiking! (At least 6 hours required) 2⃣️Take the scenic area bus to Zhongtai (halfway up the mountain) and then walk to the highest peak Xiangshan; 3⃣️Take the car directly to the top of Xiangshan, and then walk down the mountain to Zhongtai to take the car down the mountain. 🌟Highlights: 👉The architectural scale of Kongtong Mountain is quite large, and the range of buildings is very large. The eastern part of the mountain top is Buddhist temple buildings, and the western part is all Taoist buildings. The number of Taoist buildings is not a few more than Buddhist ones. Kongtong Mountain is a spiritual mountain shared by both Buddhism and Taoism. 👉Kongtong Mountain is a place that a martial arts novel fan must have heard of, and it is listed as "one of the nine major sects". The widespread publicity of many martial arts novels by Jin Yong, Gu Long, Wolong Sheng, etc., has increased Kongtong's popularity a lot. 📝Note tips: ✅If you don't take the scenic area car and only buy tickets, you must take the bus to the end station Kongtong Mountain to start climbing. ✔️You don't have to go to Nantai, Xitai is under maintenance and the road is closed. Not recommended to go. ✔️Highlight🔕 Go to the Imperial City➡️Then Sanjiao Cave➡️Twelve Marshal Cave➡️Don't take the ladder at this time! Super leg-consuming🦵➡️Return to the Imperial City, ➡️Take the Qipanling line, the scenery is very good➡️Keep going down, go to the Jiutian Saintess Temple➡️Go forward along the way➡️Arrive at Chaotianmen, ➡️Take the bus down the mountain at Zhongtai Mountain. ✔️Climbing the mountain is mainly for comfort, wear comfortable sports shoes👟pay attention to sun protection, ✔️There are cultural and creative shops on Zhongtai Mountain, the cold skin recommended at the Imperial City tastes good. ✅Prepare water and food, there is food on the mountain and it is not expensive, the price is acceptable.
