A Must-See Guide for a One-Day Mount Song Hiking Trip

Mount Song is divided into Mount Taishi and Mount Shaoshi. If you have a passion for the Five Sacred Mountains, checking in at Mount Song means you must go to the peak of Mount Taishi! This is already my second time climbing Mount Song, and I have organized some tips for everyone to refer to (there is no cable car, all by climbing). Navigation position: Mount Song Scenic Spot in Zhongyue Songshan (Personal travel mode: haha~~35/person, it takes only one and a half hours to get there from Zhengzhou) Cost Ticket: 50/person (half-price tickets need to be purchased on-site) Scenic area shuttle bus: one-way 15 Mountaineering equipment: water, snacks, power bank, Play duration: 4h up the mountain, 3h down the mountain Play route: Scenic area entrance - Mount Taishi Square Take the sightseeing car along the Songshan tourist road from the east side of the Songyang Academy (about 30min) (one-way 15/person) Mount Taishi Square--Zhongyue Xinggong--Junji Peak---Thread of Heaven-Lu Cliff Waterfall Scenic spot check-in points: Songyang Academy: One of the four major academies, you need to buy an additional ticket, or you can skip it. Mount Taishi Square: The location of the Mount Song big stone logo, also the mountain climbing ticket checkpoint. Junji Peak: The highest peak of Mount Taishi, with an altitude of 1492 meters. Thread of Heaven: A cliff crack less than one meter wide, about a hundred meters high, and about 170 meters long. Lu Cliff Waterfall: With a drop of 117 meters, you will pass under the waterfall when descending the mountain, feeling like a water curtain cave. Dining: There are supply stations on the mountain climbing route selling water and instant noodles Warm reminder 1. After descending the mountain, give your legs a massage to avoid leg pain. 2. Pay attention to sun protection!!! Otherwise, you will really get tanned. 3. The scenery on the mountain is not very stunning, but the scenery from the Lu Cliff Waterfall down the mountain is quite good, recommended! 4. You can return the same way when descending the mountain, or you can take the road from the Lu Cliff Waterfall, but the road down the mountain from the Lu Cliff Waterfall is longer, but definitely worth it. If you return via the Lu Cliff Waterfall, the exit and entrance are not in the same place, and you need to take a taxi back to Dengfeng, as there is no public transportation. 5. Mount Taishi and Mount Shaoshi are two different mountains, Shaolin Temple is on Mount Shaoshi, if you want to climb both, it is recommended to split it into two days, Mount Shaoshi has a cable car. When climbing, do not litter, there are quite a few trash cans nearby. There are many cats on the mountain trail, really lovely.
