Take a taxi from Jiaojiang to the Fairy Residence Junlan Resort Hotel the night before, which costs about 900 yuan per night. The hotel environment is very nice. Wake up in the early morning at the foot of the mountain, close to the north gate of the Fairy Residence for dining and taking a taxi to Taoyuan Renjia, highly recommended~ The wheat face is delicious. On the second day, take a taxi from the hotel to the south gate of the Fairy Residence, which takes about 20 minutes. The hotel shuttle bus takes a long time to wait. There is still a distance to the entrance of the scenic area. The ticket for the scenic area is 109 yuan per person. We bought the cable car ticket from the south gate, which is 120 yuan for a round trip. Take the cable car directly to the middle of the mountain. If you climb by yourself, it takes about 3-4 hours. After getting off the cable car, walk a short distance to reach the Buddha's Shadow and Lotus Charm. There are many people taking photos, and you need to queue up to wait. The scenery is absolutely amazing and worth checking in. After taking photos, take the escalator and walk a bit further to reach the highest point of the Fairy Residence - Nantian Top, which is also the glass bridge. You need to buy an additional ticket for 99 yuan. The scenery is very beautiful, you can see the mountains and there is drone aerial photography, 99 yuan per time, and you will get 2 short videos. Personally, I think it's quite worth taking. Near Nantian Top, there is a coffee shop, which is very photogenic. Going down the mountain, you will pass a rest station where there are many food options at noon, such as boxed lunches, snacks, and stir-fried dishes. The price of the boxed lunch is very reasonable, 35 yuan per person, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. The scenic area does a really good job, and the boxed lunch is also quite delicious. After eating, the way down the mountain is very gentle. You have to pass several bridges, and some stairs are very steep. It's quite pleasant to walk down the mountain while enjoying the breeze~ It's no wonder it's the Tiantai Mountain described in Li Bai's poetry! After 3 pm, they no longer allow entry into the park. The scenic area is quite large and suitable for mountain climbing enthusiasts who are not physically strong, haha. The toilets are also quite clean. Going down the mountain, we took the north cable car, which is standing. Take the scenic area shuttle bus to near the north gate, then walk a short distance to the exit~ The Fairy Residence is really worth visiting, a natural oxygen bar, the air in the mountains is very good. It is recommended to spend more time playing. I left at 9 am and played until about 4 pm before going down the mountain. The scenery in the mountains is too good, walking and stopping, seeing the beauty of nature is really wonderful. The Fairy Residence also has a lot of delicious food, special products like bayberry wine, which is a bit strong at 20 degrees, and the characteristic Fairy Residence Eight Big Bowls, suitable for many people to try.
