How long does it take to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of Jizu Mountain in Dali?

I don’t know where the foot of the mountain is, because Jizu Mountain is very large. Let’s assume you started from Jizushan Town. You can take the ropeway or hike up the mountain. The ropeway costs 40 yuan for one way and 60 yuan for the round trip. It is relatively fast and can reach the top in a few dozen minutes. You can stay at the top of the mountain that night, but the cost of accommodation at the top of the mountain is a bit higher. However, it is the off-season for tourism and it is not expensive there. You can also watch the sunrise the next morning. If you climb the mountain on foot, it will take about 3 hours to reach the top. The distance is not too far, about 15 kilometers, but it is quite tiring because it is a winding mountain road. Also, if you want to live on the top of the mountain at night, you should bring extra thick clothes. The temperature on the top of the mountain at night is only 7 or 8 degrees, and the wind is very strong. It is recommended that you take the ropeway up and down, because there are many scenic spots along the way, don't miss it.
