🚶♂️【Hiking route and duration】
👣 We are not in a hurry on the way up the mountain, we take our time and leisurely.
🌿 Starting from Helin Temple, walk along the greenway, pass the big Buddha, walk through the bamboo forest, see the stone carvings, and then go to Youju Temple. The whole journey is on smooth stone steps, and it takes 2 hours easily.
