Jiu Hua Shan Dayuan Buddhist Culture Park

Jiuhua Shan is very beautiful with many different temples. I bought the tickets on site at the ticket center; unfortunately, I couldn't buy them through trip.com. I also bought a ticket for the shuttle bus. From there, you can walk everywhere or take the cable car. There's also a cable car to Jiuhua Mountain, which costs 180 yuan. I skipped this because I didn't mind walking back. The Jiuhua Mountain Dayuan Culture Park is another park, but it's completely free unless you want to use the shuttle bus within the park or enter the buildings. I mainly came for the giant Buddha, which is 99 meters tall. You can see these two parks in one day. That's long enough, considering there's not much else to do.
