I'm such a chicken! Mangshan Wuzhifeng Peak literally scared my legs weak!

Folks, I just visited Mangshan Wuzhifeng Peak and was completely overwhelmed! Any fellow acrophobes out there? The experience was truly "heart-stopping at every step" - my legs were jelly the whole time, so thrilling! But gotta admit, the scenery here is absolutely breathtaking with mist-shrouded peaks and the spectacular Golden Whip Divine Pillar - truly awe-inspiring! Here's my travel guide for you: 🚗Transport: Take high-speed rail to Chenzhou West Station, then taxi (~1.5h, ¥200-300) or shuttle bus (~2h, ¥100). For self-drive, navigate to Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area East Gate. 🎫Tickets: East Gate ticket ~¥280 (includes cable car & shuttle), great value. 🗺️Routes: -Classic Route (5-6h): Cable car up→Mid-level plank path→Canyon Restaurant→Skyscraper Elevator→Upper plank path→Small Sky Terrace→Tiantai Temple. Covers most highlights, perfect for time-limited visitors. -In-Depth Route (6-7h): Adds Longevity Pagoda→Tiantai Mountain Parking Lot for deeper exploration. 🌟Must-see: Wuzhifeng Peak: Palm-shaped, uniquely spectacular! Golden Whip Divine Pillar: 120m tall, truly magnificent! Cliffside Plank Path: 8km long - terrifying for acrophobes but with stunning views! Skyscraper Elevator: 140m vertical rise, reaches summit in 49s - like "The Wandering Earth" elevator IRL. Small Sky Terrace: Best sunrise/sea of clouds viewpoint - like fairyland on clear days. 🏠Accommodation: -Inside: Mangshan Free Camping Base (¥699-1099), stargazing at night. -Outside: Mansen Hot Spring Hotel (¥779 incl. ticket); Fan Villa B&B (¥1199) - both excellent. 🥯Food: Must-try black pork, fern root cakes, Mangshan bitter bamboo shoots, Hunan bacon, Yao ethnic oil tea! ⚠️Tips: Book tickets/accommodation early, especially in peak season. Check weather - sunny days for cloud seas, rainy days for misty charm. Arrive before 9am in peak season to avoid long queues. Wear anti-slip shoes as some plank path sections are slippery. Bring warm clothes & rain gear - big temperature changes!
