Some information which might be useful for others: We went there by private taxi from Ziyuan (300 RMB back and forth, probably overpriced) and arrived at the place called "Bajiao Stockade Village" where there is no cablecar. We had to pay 38 RMB entrance fee (after having refused a higher, "special" price from our taxi driver). The "visitor center" was closed (forever our just temporarily?) and the place looked rather dead. The maps on the panels are quite poor and give no indication about distance/elevation/duration of the trip. Just walk along the road for about 10 minutes to the next group of houses (where there are public toilets). Then follow the locals up the hill on spectacular trails along the ridges and trough little caves etc. When you arrive close to the top of the highest peak there will be more people as they ride up by cablecar (or hike up) from the other side. On the top there are different places where they sell local food and drinks. Hiking up and down took us ~4.5 hours with some breaks. A part of the hike was closed but we still walked this part of the loop as this was what all the locals did. To get there and back is quite an adventure without knowing any Chinese, but definitely worth the trip! Do the hike and forget about the cablecar! Very good to do in half a day and combine with Tianmen national park (Tianmen mountain of Guilin)...in case you're used to hiking.
