What should you pay attention to when traveling by car to Mount Jiuhua? Tips for traveling by car to Mount Jiuhua

When traveling to Jiuhua Mountain by car, you need to know the following eight questions:

1. Time:

The time mentioned below is the time to stay in Jiuhua Mountain , not counting the time spent on the way there and back.

Coming to Jiuhua Mountain is just to offer incense. Generally, it takes three or four hours to worship in several key temples.

Coming to Mount Jiuhua to worship Buddha plus sightseeing in the core scenic area generally requires eight or nine hours of sightseeing in the core scenic area.

If you want to visit the regular route of Mount Jiuhua, including the 99-meter Giant Buddha and natural landscapes, it will take two full days.

In other words, Jiuhuashan Scenic Area can be a one-day tour, a two-day tour, or a three-day tour. If you also visit the scenic spots around the city, you can also arrange a four-day tour.

If there is traffic control during a long holiday and self-driving cars are not allowed to go up the mountain, you have to consider that you need to queue up for meals, rides and ropeways.

2. Transportation:

The G3 Beijing-Taiwan Expressway (the Anhui section was originally called Hetonghuang Expressway) has the Qingyang Jiuhuashan Exit, and then passes through Qingyang County to bypass the 318 National Highway Go west and drive for ten minutes to reach the first gate of Jiuhua Mountain in Wuxi Town.

If you take the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway (Yangjiang Expressway) from the west, you can get off directly at the Jiuhuashan Airport exit, then go east along National Highway 318, and it will take you 15 minutes to reach Wuxi Town. If you are taking the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway (G50) from Jiangsu, don't get off the expressway when you get to Xuancheng, because the 318 National Highway below is closed for construction and will not be open to traffic until around 2015. Currently, we take the G50 bypassing Wuhu and heading towards Tongling. After passing the Tianmen Service Area, we reach the Shangshuiqiao hub. At the Shangshuiqiao hub, we transfer to the G3 Beijing-Taiwan Expressway towards Huangshan. It is 19 kilometers away from the Qingyang Jiuhuashan exit. After getting off the expressway, turn right and then turn right again, passing through Qingyang County and going west on National Highway 318, which will take you to Wuxi in ten minutes.

Wuxi is the main gate of Jiuhua Mountain. Drive seven kilometers from here to reach the Jiuhua Mountain Tourist Service Center.

For any mode of transportation, you must first go to the Jiuhuashan Tourist Service Center (i.e. Jiuhuashan Bus Station, located in Kecun, at the foot of the mountain). Purchase tickets and transportation tickets at the visitor service center before going up the mountain. Self-driving cars with less than seven seats can go up the mountain during non-holidays. Traffic control will prevent them from going up the mountain during weekends and long holidays. There is sometimes a queue to take the bus on weekends in April and May and during various long holidays, usually no more than an hour. There are many large and small parking lots in the scenic area, including in front of the hotel. They are all managed by the Jiuhuashan Public Security Bureau, and only one parking fee is charged. The fee is 15 yuan for a day and 25 yuan for a night. If you go to the back mountain rooftop, which is the Phoenix Pine parking lot, an additional 10 yuan parking fee will be charged.

3. Budget:

How much does it cost to visit Jiuhua Mountain? I really can’t answer this, because the cost of accommodation, incense burning, ropeway and other items vary greatly from person to person. big.

5. Overview of Mount Jiuhua:

Mount Jiuhua is located in Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province. It is one of the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism. Featuring beautiful natural landscapes, it is a national key scenic spot and one of the first batch of 5A-level scenic spots.

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Qiaojue, a relative of the ancient Silla royal family, crossed the sea to the east, Zhuoxi Jiuhua, and became a Taoist through hard cultivation. After passing away at the age of 99, his body did not decay for three years, and he was respected by the monks as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was transformed, and Jiuhua Mountain became the dojo of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. For thousands of years, Jiuhua Mountain has been filled with incense and monks. Ninety-nine temples of different styles are scattered among the green pines and bamboos along the mountain. It is known as the "Lotus Buddha Country" and the "No. 1 Mountain in the Southeast".

Jiuhua Mountain was originally called Jiuzishan. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the great poet Li Bai saw that the mountain was "thousands of feet high, with nine peaks like lotus flowers on it." "So he abbreviated its old name and added the name Jiuhua." "The great poet wrote that "there are two wonderful things, and Jiuhua blooms in Lingshan", which became the name of Jiuhua Mountain. Since then, literati and poets have come in droves.

Jiuhua Mountain is divided into four main scenic spots: Jiuhua Street Scenic Area, Minyuan Rooftop Scenic Area, Huatai Scenic Area, and 99-meter Ksitigarbha Statue Scenic Area. Jiuhua Street Scenic Area, Minyuan Rooftop Scenic Area, and Huatai Scenic Area are the main scenic spots. They implement a one-ticket system with a ticket price of 190 yuan. From November to January every year, an off-season discount of 140 yuan is implemented. There are no small entrance fees for various attractions and temples. The 99-meter Ksitigarbha Statue Scenic Spot is next to the tourist service center at the foot of the mountain. Tickets are sold independently for 180 yuan and the negotiated price is 120 yuan.

The scenic spots in Jiuhua Mountain can be divided into two parts: the mountain and the foot.

There are Jiuhua Street Scenic Area and Minyuan Rooftop Scenic Area on the mountain.

The old street is lined with shops and temples, and is a gathering place for monks and laymen.

It takes about eight hours to visit this scenic spot.

Friends who take day trips generally only visit this scenic spot.

In the Minyuan Tiantai Scenic Area, there are not only strange peaks and rocks, dangerous cliffs, but also ancient Buddhist temples, high mountains and mysterious temples. On the mountain there are famous temples such as Tiantai Temple and Bible Prayer Platform (accessible by cableway), etc. The temple also has natural scenic spots such as the Dapeng Sutra Listening Stone, the Golden Turtle Chao Beidou, and the Yixiantian. At the foot of the mountain is the Huiju Temple, as well as nunnery communities such as the Xiangshan Maofeng, Jiulian Jingshe, and Shengwan Jingshe, as well as the ancient Phoenix pine trees. This scenic spot takes two hours up the mountain and two hours down the mountain. The process of going up and down takes only ten minutes by cableway and three or four hours by walking.

At the foot of the mountain are the Holy Statue Scenic Area and the Flower Terrace Scenic Area.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Statue Scenic Spot, also known as the Dayuan Cultural Park, is located next to the Yamashita Tourist Service Center. There are about 2 kilometers of sightseeing routes along the central axis of the park, including Wutong Bridge, Archway, Hongyuan Hall Ksitigarbha Cultural Exhibition Center, Buddha's Light Pond, Lotus Pure Land, Great Willing Square, Eight Meritorious Waters, Nine Flowers Feitian Musical Fountain Performance, Dixin Lotus Pond Waiting for the scenery, we finally reached the 99-meter-high bronze statue of Tibetan Bodhisattva.

There are many strange peaks in the scenic area with various postures. There are no temples. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous.

In a three-day tour, you can visit all four scenic spots. As for the specific tour route, you will understand it after arriving at the scenic spot. No matter how you search at home, you will not be able to figure it out clearly. You can read my other article: "Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui, please follow my footsteps and savor it carefully".

6. Anti-fraud:

Anywhere outside Jiuhua Mountain, if you meet a monk who claims to be from Jiuhua Mountain, if he takes the initiative to talk to you, he will then tell you about your fortune. People who ask you to pay money through various methods such as fortune-telling, alms-giving, Buddhist services, and giving gifts can be directly sure that they are not monks from Mount Jiuhua. The Jiuhuashan Buddhist Association has made it clear that Mount Jiuhua does not allow monks from the mountain to go out of the temple to beg for alms. We Jiuhuashan people hate these people who ruin the reputation of Jiuhuashan.

Anti-fraud strategy: Tell him that you need the police station to confirm his identity before giving him money. (Don’t be more trustworthy. Helping scammers is not doing good but doing evil.)

On the road between the self-driving car and getting off the expressway to the Jiuhuashan Tourist Service Center, there were beautiful girls who were hitchhiking or chatting with them. , ignore anyone chasing you in a car, or someone wearing monk's clothes. They pretend to be various staff or scenic area residents and use various reasons to enter your car. The purpose is to persuade you to go to their designated place to spend money after getting in your car. The main temples in the Jiuhuashan Scenic Area are concentrated in the Jiuhua Street Scenic Area and the Minyuan Rooftop Scenic Area on the mountain. In addition, the so-called places in the front of Mount Jiuhua where you can burn incense without tickets are not within the jurisdiction of the Jiuhuashan Buddhist Association. There are no discounts for Jiuhuashan tickets for travel agencies. If someone claims to give you a discount or free admission to the mountain, they are either evading the tickets, and if found out, you will have to pay for the ticket and be punished; or they will only take you through the ticket office and not the ticket gate; or even take you through the ticket office. He loses money to gain your trust so that he can carry out a bigger scam.

Anti-fraud strategy: Don’t open the window after getting off the highway, don’t talk to anyone, don’t believe what enthusiastic people say, and don’t buy a lot of incense candles at the foot of the mountain. If someone forces you to stop while driving, tell him before he speaks that I will not listen to anything you say and I will call the police if you interfere with my driving.
