Good walk up to 2200m
Nice enough walk up through some Taoist temples and nunnery and then onto the peak. The views are good, you don't need to walk all the way up to get the best views. The steps are on the small side too small to use each one but too big to do two at a time - legs still aching as a result, also note you start the walk a mile high and so you need to factor that in. Monkeys aren't really bothered unless you feed them once someone does they go a bit crazy so just keep your wits about you.

Funny Monkeys
The mountain itself is not so interesting, although the view over the lake is nice. You can take the city bus to the foot of the Lu Shan and then its a very easy walk up to the Yi Slave Museum. The Museum has no entrance fee and it is quite nicely done with a lot of english explanations. I thought it was very interesting. A little bit further up the mountain begins the scenic area for which you have to pay 3Yuan. The monastery is quite large and nice, but for me the main attraction were definetly the wild monkey living on the mountain. There are a lot of them and they are used to visitors, so they are not shy at all. You can feed them some fruits or nuts from your hands and even get them to climb on your shoulder for a little bit of food. They are very funny and not aggresive at all. For me it was a great experience to be so close to these fascinating animals in the wild. I would defintely recommend it.
