Surrounding Hefei | A 3-year-old child unlocks their first mountain, friendly for the elderly and children

I swear this is the most interesting mountain I have ever climbed. ⛰ Last week, I took my little one and grandma to climb a mountain. I heard that this mountain is very friendly to the elderly and children, and it is very interesting. So I made arrangements immediately! ❗️ We set out from Hefei in the morning with the little one and grandma, and it took about 2.5 hours to reach Mingtang Mountain. The self-drive scenery along the way was beautiful. It had rained the day before, and the fog was heavy. As we ascended, there was a feeling of walking in the clouds. Recommended route for the elderly and children that doesn't involve much climbing ⭕️ Going up the mountain ⛰ Scenic shuttle 🚍 - Cable car 🚡 - Magic carpet After entering the scenic area, a scenic shuttle takes you to the foot of the mountain. You need to climb for about 10 minutes to reach the cable car 🚡, then switch to the magic carpet, which takes you directly to the 1400m high-altitude sightseeing area. You can visit attractions such as the thrilling steps, high-altitude glass bridge, high-altitude glass walkway, Green Pine Ridge, Moon Rock, high-altitude swing, etc. ⭕️ Going down the mountain ⛰ Glass dry slide - Cable car 🚡 - Rafting - Scenic shuttle You can play while descending the mountain. The dry slide is really fun. The scenic area provides pants, shoe covers, and gloves. Once geared up, you can slide down the mountain through the glass passage, just like a slide. It's really fun, and the little one was so excited, wanting to do it again. Rafting replaces the 10-minute walk down the mountain after coming down by cable car 🚡. The rafting takes about 3 minutes and takes you directly to the scenic shuttle. It's really suitable for bringing kids; I thought the little one would be scared, but she said it was so much fun after coming down. ✅ The whole trip took about more than 5 hours. This trip gave me a new understanding of my little one and my mother. Before coming, I was mentally prepared that they might be too scared to walk on the glass walkway, suspension bridge, etc... It turns out I was really overthinking it! ❗️ They were much braver than me. My mother even dared to take the high-altitude cableway, and the little one could even run on the glass walkway. The little one walked the whole way by herself, without crying or fussing, and was in a very good mood. She asked questions and learned along the way, excited from start to finish. Passers-by all praised her for being amazing. After coming down the mountain ⛰, we ate at a local farmhouse restaurant, which tasted very good, and we were stuffed with an average cost of 50 per person. ⛰ Mingtang Mountain 📍 Yuexi County, Anqing City, Anhui Province It's about a 2.5-hour drive from Hefei, Wuhan, etc. You can drive there and back in one day. The scenic area has a free parking lot, which is very convenient for parking~ ❤️ TIPS: ✅ Although there's not much need for climbing, you should still prepare a pair of comfortable shoes 👟. ✅ It's a bit chilly at the top of the mountain, so you can bring a jacket. ✅ Bring bread and fruit, and make sure to bring enough water.
