New Year Climb, Climbing Tianzhu Mountain on the Second Day of the New Year

Climbed Tianzhu Mountain before the rain and cold weather, not bad. Departed from Hefei South at 8:00 and arrived at Qianshan Station. Took a bus from the high-speed rail station to the Tianzhu Mountain Visitor Center for CNY 10. Transferred to a shuttle bus at the visitor center (round-trip ticket required for CNY 30). Got off at the south gate and started climbing at 11:00 (this is for those who don't take the cable car). Those who take the cable car should get off at the Dalongwo Cableway (uphill CNY 80). It took me one and a half hours to climb from the south gate to the Dalongwo Cableway. I arrived at the top of the mountain at about 2:30 pm, rested, and took photos. I took the cable car down the mountain at 5:00 pm. I arrived at the visitor center at 5:30 pm. You should arrive earlier on normal days. The last bus to Tianzhushan Railway Station and Qianshan High-speed Railway Station is usually at 5:00 pm. Fortunately, there was an extra bus to Tianzhushan Station at 6:00 pm on the second day of the New Year, so I caught the train to Hefei Station at 6:52 pm. Useful Tips Tickets: CNY 130 in peak season, CNY 110 in off-season; Dalongwo Cableway one-way ticket: CNY 80. Transportation: - High-speed rail: To Qianshan Station (30 km from the scenic area), transfer to a shuttle bus (40 minutes); you can transfer to a bus at Anqing Station. - Self-driving: 2.5 hours from Hefei, navigate to "Tianzhu Mountain Visitor Center". Equipment: Non-slip hiking shoes, sun hat, raincoat, down jacket in winter
