Buy a ticket

You don't need a ticket at the entrance of Yuelu Mountain. The cableway and sightseeing bus are in the outermost square. There are ticket outlets near the boarding gate and at the boarding gate, and there are WeChat and cashier windows. If there is no queue, you can buy it as soon as possible.

Weather

Cableways and slides can't run in rainy days. Remember to check the weather forecast.

let me start with a very important point. Remember to wear a pair of non-slip shoes. Yuelu Mountain is wet, and some sections of the downhill road are steep, so the friction on the asphalt road will become smaller. So I fell directly into a fart pier on the way down the mountain. If I miss the sightseeing bus at the top of the mountain, I will walk for a long time. Shoes are very important.

the ropeway

takes 2 minutes, and there is no seat belt, only a hoop guardrail. I still feel a little nervous when I really sit on it, and my legs are soft. But don't be afraid, the cable car is very slow, the seat is bent upwards, and you can step on a crossbar without feeling dangerous. Be careful not to put anything in your trouser pocket, and protect your belongings from falling. There was a photographer on the top of the mountain, and he developed a 2, but the pixel was not too high, but he bought it as a souvenir.

After getting off the cable car, there is a snack street where you can rest and then continue walking. This is the only sightseeing bus ticket office on the top of the mountain. If you miss it, you will walk down the mountain by yourself.

There is still a distance from the top of the mountain to Yunlu Palace, which is a bit difficult to find. When you approach, there are almost no people on the road, just follow the road signs. Go down the mountain after punching in, and there will be a map every other way. It is very convenient to find scenic spots.

after the south gate comes out of the mountain, there is a snack street. Go straight ahead and you will find the campus of Hunan University. Go straight ahead and you will see a subway station. If you need a bus, you can take it farther away.
