Upon arrival at the mountaintop, we will have a counterclockwise tour there to successively visit the West Line Scenic Area, the East Line Scenic Area and the Central Line Scenic Area if time allows. The West Line Scenic Area has the most breathtaking places such as the glass skywalk, Ghost Valley Plank Road which are built alongside the steep cliffs 1,400 meters above the sea level. The East Line is mainly a place to appreciate the old-growth forest and the Central Line has Tianmen Buddhist Temple which is a famous place of worship. If time allows and you have interest, we can spend additional time on the mountaintop to ride the mini cable car to explore the primeval forest area to discover the hidden rare trees that are China national treasures as well. Time on mountaintop normally takes 2 to 3 hours.
