Ticketing is fast in seconds. It is recommended to buy a one-way up the mountain, and then the top of the mountain has to play down the steps and attractions, otherwise you have to go back to the mountain and take the light car down the mountain. I bought a light car back and forth for the first time. After I went up the mountain, I found that the top of the mountain except Maitreya Buddha, other attractions were in the middle of the trail steps. After playing, I walked down the mountain not far. There was no need to walk back to the top of the mountain and take the light car.
It’s about ten kilometers from the city, and ten kilometers away is the small town of Kexuan. The 1999 step ladder is very wasteful. It is recommended to take a sightseeing bus. Take the stairs down so that you can visit other attractions. There is a place to eat vegetarian food. Twenty one can fill up the stomach and try it.
The package is very cost-effective. Every scenic spot has a sightseeing car. If you don’t want to be too tired, you can take the car directly to the top. After worshiping, you can go down the steps to watch other scenery. You can buy a one-way ticket 15 one, Dongfengyun ticket 20 round-trip, The town of Keyi is also 20 round trips, the scenery is very good, especially the town of Keyi has a performance, you can also eat authentic traditional food, very comfortable town
Jinping Mountain is very worth a visit. The Maitreya Buddha on the mountain is worth seeing, because the smiling Maitreya Buddha is the world's largest Maitreya Buddha. When you come to Maitreya Buddha, you will be in a good mood. And the smiling Maitreya Buddha will make you unforgettable!
The Big Buddha is the world's first, so I still have to go. The ticket does not include the tour bus. The tour bus is 20 yuan back and forth. If you take the elderly and children, you should sit. Dongfengyun went to see the Internet before, and it was very good. I felt really good. It was really recommended. It was very popular.
Jinping Mountain's two-way sightseeing car is very good, solve the problem of the elderly and children climbing the mountain. I came to Maitreya before. The Maitreya Buddha wanted to go and see and was afraid of climbing the mountain. I have not been there. This time I took a sightseeing car and got off. It was really convenient!
