Yao Mountain, Henan, China
4.5 (30 reviews) Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Lushan County Mountains
Excellent hike
We walked up Yao mountain (it's all paved) and caught the cable car down to the bottom. The views are spectacular when you get to the top. There are waterfalls, which I'm told and certain times of year are spectacular, though they looked pretty good to us. Also there are lots of places to stop on the way up, for a picnic or rest. Very civilised!

Yao mountain scenic view and chair lift ride
Located 1/2 hour from city center, the Yao mountain chair lift ride up is scenic and panoramic. However, please choose a clear day otherwise you get a misty scape and the beautiful Guilin mountains are not visible. A 20 minute ride up alights you at the summit , approximate 900 m high. There are the usual souvenir shops and a temple with a diety to ask for blessings. Several Buddha statues featuring the chinese zodiac is also available for you to buy a charm to hang at the base for luck. During summer , there is a toboggan ride at the halfway mark. On top, if the skies are clear, you can have a bird’s eye view of the city and the majestic circle of mountains. If the skies are cloudy, at least you can enjoy the crisp winter air and feel refreshed.

Spectacular view
Took the gondola ride to the top of Yao Mountain and ride up was excellent and gave a terrific view of the Guilin Mountains. The view at the top of the mountain was sweepingly spectacular!!
