"The Mountains can be reached via Bus from Gantabgzhen. You reach then the base of the longest cablecar in China. The Doppelmayr cablecar starts from Furong Mountain Bus Station and brings you to the top. The Top is a very nice start for a walk to the Aoyu Peak were you can then take another cablecar down. Around 3000 Steps up and 2200 down. You need full 4-5 hours for this scenic walk."

"Wonderful mountain, serious climbing for most segments. Not recommended for children, as adults get exhausted. Don't bring luggage or heavy packs. Prone to clouds and fog, check weather in advance."
