Its one of the 5 holy taoist mountains in China. Cable car 160 RMB and 47 RMB for the mountain entrance. I was lucky with the weather so the view was good. No so busy in Middle of September. Its 10 mins from the hanging monastery. You can walk around and take a look at the temples and enjoy the view 2-3 hours. Thanks for reading my review and I hope it was/is helpful for your trip.
