The total length of the plank road is actually 3.5 kilometers, of which 1.5 kilometers is almost built on a vertical 90-degree cliff, 40-50 meters above the ground.

In the other 2 kilometers, one kilometer winds up close to the cliff, which is called the suspended trail. You can walk from the cliff plank road to the top of the mountain, and then enter the Jinfo Mountain Ancient Rhododendron Park and the ancient bamboo forest sea. This section is called the forest. Trails. Walking along the trails in the forest, you can admire the blooming azaleas in spring and pick rare square bamboos in autumn. There are few tourists in summer and winter, so you can reminisce about the vicissitudes of life with these ancient rhododendrons and square bamboos just by walking. At the end of the forest trail is the Golden Buddha Temple, which is under construction. The consecration ceremony is expected to be held in May next year. Through the cliff plank road, you can also reach scenic spots such as the Ecological Stone Forest, Prince Rhododendron, and Yaochi Dam.
