Do a workout :)
The title describes it exactly. My fitness app shown after the visit 69 floors walked. And this really the stairs only. So, make sure you are in good condition ;) To the scenic self: We drove up the mountain by car from the back side. A really small path through the rocks of this mountain. If you have a car, I suggest this way. Otherwise you can take a bus (20yuan) for uphill. There are some interesting spots on this mountain. Like a waterfall cave, strange rock formations, temples and all over are monkeys. The monkeys are cheeky, naughty and they try take all of you what you don't hide. There are toilets enough, snacks and water (5rmb/bottle) everywhere. You should calculate 4 hours to step to each scenic point. On the bus stop on the temple you can book a downhill on tube boat. (no idea about the price).... Enjoy your day there :)

Great Views, Buddhist Temples and Monkeys
The visit starts with a pleasant drive on a narrow winding road from the plains below. You drive past Buddhist Temples in good preservation dating from the arrival from India of the first monks. I suggest walking down hill through this area on the downhill return. Then eventually after about another 20 minutes you arrive near the top for parking and final 10 minute walk to the top with wonderful views and a clan of monkeys to keep your distance from. Worth maybe 30 minutes stay. Also it is possible for a day hike up the mountain but the services are limited. Our group went by tourist bus.

Great Drive!
I was on a trade mission and stopped here. The ride and views and monuments were great. Drive within 200 yards of the top and wheelchair accessible walkways. Watch out for the tricky and grumpy monkeys. The Buddhist monastery and temple enroute is worth a walk down the mountain. It is also near the waterfall with the underground passage. Probably a total 3 hour visit.
