At the beginning of May, it is the season when the azaleas in Jinfo Mountain bloom most vigorously. The flowers are already in full bloom and the flowering period lasts until mid May. You can still go there. So, how to play a one-day tour in Jinfo Mountain? The specific details are as follows
Detailed guide for one-day tour
8:00-9:20
Chongqing Four Kilometer Bus Station to Nanchuan Bus Station (ticket price 32, there are also buses at other stations, but the number of trains is very few. If you drive by yourself, you can only stop at the foot of the mountain, or you have to transfer to a bus to go up the mountain. If you want to drive up the mountain from the south slope, you need to make an appointment with the scenic area in advance. Ordinary individual travelers are not allowed to drive up the mountain)
9:25-9:50
Take bus route 101 to the West Bus Station (the original bus station only had two trains to Jinfoshan North Gate at 7:30 and 11:30, with a one-way fare of 15 and two return trips at 13:30 and 15:30) If you want to go to Ximen, you need to take bus No. 101 to West Station for a ride. The one-way fare from West Station to Ximen is 6 yuan, and Ximen has an additional 30 yuan cable car bus ticket than North Gate. In addition, due to the large altitude difference of the mountain, you must take the cable car to get up and down the mountain
10:00-11:00
Take the bus to the west gate at the West Bus Station (although the bus is direct, it is a rural bus that stops at any time, so the speed is very slow, and it takes about an hour to get there)
11:30-12:00
Wait for the bus to take halfway up the mountain, then transfer to the cableway up the mountain. (When there are few people, the bus to the mountain needs to wait for someone or depart at a designated location. The mountain road is quite winding, with a total length of more than 10 kilometers and takes about 20 minutes. If you take the cableway, it also takes 15 minutes.)
12:00-17:00
Playing on the mountain (because the top of the mountain is 2238 meters above sea level, which is 12 degrees lower than the temperature below, remember to bring a coat before going up the mountain. Although there are clothes available for rent at the top of the mountain, the weather can vary greatly between the top and the bottom of the mountain. It may be sunny at the bottom and rainy at the top.). Don't go to the Rhododendron King Tree on the right. It's a waste of half an hour and you won't see anything. Similar big trees are everywhere in the ancient Rhododendron Park in the middle. If time is limited, don't go into Yangkou Cave. It's just big and long, there's not much development to see inside, and the lighting is not good. It's a pure waste of time. It's better to go to the Ancient Buddha Cave, where there are Buddha statues and colorful lights
17:00-17:50
(If it's from the west gate, it's best to start walking back at 16:00 because mountain roads require physical exertion, and there are shuttle buses between the two gates that can be taken for 10 yuan per person. You can get off the cableway from the same gate. In addition, the last bus that goes down the mountain from the cableway is 17:30, and the last bus that goes back to the county town is 18:00, and they may line up and miss the last bus. Those who plan to live on the mountain can ignore it)
18:00-19:00
Take the bus The last bus back to the county town (preferably early to avoid crowded tourists with no seats to return)
19:00-19:45
Take bus 101 back to the central bus station and have dinner around
20:00-21:25
Take bus back to the four kilometer bus station (the last bus is 20:00, ticket price is 32).
