Shaolin temple #hikingtrails

I never thought I would see the "Golden Mountain" phenomenon in Zhengzhou. I never thought I would see such a view on Song Mountain. It was so shocking and beautiful that words cannot describe it. Sitting at the foot of the mountain, quietly making a cup of tea, I forgot about time and space and was immersed in the moment! Seeing the Golden Mountain brings good luck! Navigation: Shaoshi Mountain Agricultural Ecological Park Location: 130 meters northwest of Shaoshi Temple, Dengfeng City Travel tips: 1. Free attraction. Navigate to the address in the text, park at the destination (no parking fee), and walk for 5 minutes to see the view. 2. Make sure to go on a sunny day and arrive before 4 pm. The sunset is very quick, so make sure to go early. 3. Not many people know about this place yet. The weather has been good these past two days, so it is the best time to see the view. 4. Wear warm clothes. It gets very cold on the mountain after sunset, so make sure to keep warm.

Song Mountain is divided into Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. When I was doing my research, I found that Shaoshi Mountain had better scenery, so I decided to challenge Shaoshi Mountain. There are two entrances to Shaoshi Mountain. If you are in good physical condition, you can enter the mountain from Sanhuangzhai. This route is not easy, but it is super exciting! You have to spend more than three hours climbing the mountain, passing through the magical Sanhuangzhai, the thrilling suspension bridge, and the strange cliff that looks like a book. When you finally reach the top of the mountain, the sense of accomplishment is incredible! After that, you can take the cable car down the mountain, and the end point is at the Shaolin Temple. How about it? Are you excited? Come and experience this treasure route of Shaoshi Mountain!

Shaoshi Mountain, with its main peak Liantian Peak, also known as Zhaixing Tower, is 1,512 meters above sea level and is the highest peak of Songshan Mountain. Shaoshi Mountain is a key scenic spot in Songshan National Forest Park, and Shaolin Temple National AAAAA Tourist Scenic Spot is located in it. Because it is located in the dense forest of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, it is named "Shaolin Temple". Shaoshi Mountain is opposite to Taishi Mountain in the east, about 10 kilometers away from Taishi Mountain. Shaolin River originated from here. It is said that the second wife of King Xia Yu, the sister of Tushan, lived here. People built a temple at the foot of the mountain to respect her, so the mountain is called "Shaoshi".

👉 It takes about two hours by car from Luohe to reach the destination. Starting from Yongtai Temple, you begin the climb. Taishi Mountain is underfoot, and Shaoshi Mountain is in the distance, offering stunning scenery. 🦻 It is said that this route is called Wudaozhang because you need to cross five peaks, which resemble Buddhist stupas (chuang), hence the name. The entire route is 9 kilometers, ending at an alpine meadow. You can bring a hammock or moisture-proof mat to rest in the meadow. 😎 Although it is a beginner's climbing route and does not require ropes, scrambling over rocks can still be a bit dangerous. My partner is afraid of heights and didn't dare to look back while climbing because there were sheer cliffs behind. Many newcomers in our group said they would never come again after descending 😄😄😄. ✨ Previously, when taking the cable car in the scenic area, I wondered what it would feel like to walk among the mountains. Now I understand that it feels like I am measuring, feeling, and touching the mountain step by step. It's much more interesting than taking the cable car, but of course, this must be done while ensuring your safety. Every step must be steady and firm to better experience the joy of climbing!

What else to do on weekends? Of course, it's time to go hiking together⛰️. Mount Song, known as the 'Central Mountain' of the Five Sacred Mountains⛰️, is divided into Mount Taishi on the east and Mount Shaoshi on the west, which are two different mountains. Suggestions: ➡️For those who want to see Shaolin Temple/Tower Forest/Book Cliff/Sanhuangzhai, choose 【Mount Shaoshi】. ➡️For those who want to see Songyang Academy/Junji Peak/Luya Waterfall, choose 【Mount Taishi】. This article mainly talks about my climb on Mount Shaoshi. In summary, Mount Shaoshi offers beautiful scenery all the way and is suitable for first-time climbers. It's quite comfortable to walk, stop, and take photos. And the most worthwhile sight is the Book Cliff, which is the most spectacular in the quartzite landscape. It's completely different from other mountains you've seen. Route: Shaolin Temple - Tower Forest - Shaolin Cableway - Book Cliff - Cliff Suspension Bridge - Sanhuangzhai - Hero Slope Little tips: The last cable car is at 7:00. If you want to watch the sunset, make sure to manage your time well. You must take the Shaolin Cableway!! Everyone, please make sure to check before you go. Only the Shaolin Cableway is relatively large.
