Follow Li Bai to explore the fairy mountains! A 2-day in-depth itinerary for Shenxianju, check it out 🫵

🚗 Transportation Guide ✔️ Self-drive: Navigate to the South/North Gate parking lot (parking fee ¥10-30/day). About 3 hours from Hangzhou/Shanghai. ✔️ Public transport: High-speed train to Xianju South Station, then a 40-minute taxi ride to the scenic area (¥50-80); or take the "Xianju-Shenxianju" shuttle bus (fare ¥6). Recommended Route (3-4 hours relaxed version) 🈯️ South-Up-North-Down Loop: 💗 Take the South Gate cable car up (¥65) → Nantian Elevator directly to the mountaintop. 💗 Walk 5 minutes to Nantian Summit Glass Viewing Platform (hanging 100 meters high, overlooking the sea of clouds and Guanyin Peak, ticket ¥80). 💗 Pass by Lotus Platform (photo spot with Guanyin Peak) → Ruyi Bridge (viral jade Ruyi-shaped glass bridge) → Foying Lianyun (ethereal photos in misty clouds). 💗 Descend via North Sea cable car (¥55) → Take the shuttle bus back to the South Gate (¥10). ⚠️ Must-Visit Spots · Ruyi Bridge: 360° canyon views, the bridge resembles a floating jade Ruyi. · Foying Lianyun: Mirror pool facing Guanyin Peak, misty after rain like a fairyland (free). · Guanyin Peak: Natural giant Buddha rock, best viewpoints at Nantian Summit or Lotus Platform. ✅ Food & Accommodation Tips · Food: Try Xianju’s "Eight Great Bowls" (braised pork with lotus seeds + minced meat soup, ~¥60/person), recommended "Taoyuan Renjia" restaurant. · Lodging: · Luxury option: Junlan Resort Hotel (near South Gate, tranquil environment). · Budget-friendly: Leyu Homestay (lawn + mountain-view rooms, includes bayberry picking in June; book early for peak season). 🔔 Key Reminders · Entrance ticket ¥110, cable car combo tickets are more cost-effective (~¥180 for ticket + uphill cable car). · Wear anti-slip sports shoes, bring rain gear + sun protection (shade is limited on walkways). · Sea of clouds is likely after rain—arrive before 7 AM to avoid crowds. ‼️ In a nutshell: Cable cars and elevators save energy, Nantian Summit + Foying Lianyun are must-photograph spots, savor the Eight Bowls and stay in mountain-view lodgings—travel light in this xianxia world!
