Save it now~ Tips (a must-read for families): 🎫 Tickets: 45 RMB, free for children under 1.2 meters, very cost-effective (about 90 RMB for two adults and one child). 📍 Location: Hengshan Visitor Center ground parking lot, navigate directly there, convenient parking (there are special family parking spots near the exit). 🚗 Shuttle Bus: 20 RMB/person (route: Visitor Center—Hanging Temple—Ticket Checkpoint [cable car available]—Trailhead), one ticket valid for both ways, no extra fees, a must for families with kids, saves energy (otherwise, you have to walk a lot uphill). ✅ Cable Car: 70 RMB/person (🕐08:00-16:00), recommended for families with kids to take the cable car, easy way up the mountain, avoid exhaustion (kids get cranky if they climb too long). Hengshan has traffic control; private cars and taxis cannot pass through and must park at the Visitor Center ground parking lot. Everyone takes the shuttle bus from there. Plan transportation ahead when bringing kids. Family-Friendly Routes (two options): 1️⃣ Full Hiking (suitable for older, more energetic kids, 6 years and above): Trailhead—Zhenwu Temple (show kids the "ancient small house," explain "this is a place for blessings")—Hengshan Temple Complex—Chongling Gate—Zhenyuan Hall—Jade Emperor Pavilion—Huixian Mansion—Tianfeng Ridge (highest peak, take a family photo with kids)—Kuixing Tower—Hengshan Temple Complex—Zhenwu Hall Typical hiking time is 4-5 hours; families who often hike may be faster. You can enjoy more scenery along the way, letting kids play and explore while experiencing Hengshan culture. 2️⃣ Time and Effort Saving Version (recommended for families with younger kids, 3-5 years old): Cable Car—Kuixing Tower—Tianfeng Ridge (show kids the "distant mountains")—Huixian Mansion—Jade Emperor Pavilion—Zhenyuan Hall—Chongling Gate—Hengshan Temple Complex—Kuixing Tower—Cable Car Easy and stress-free throughout, no heavy physical exertion, still check in at key spots, kids won’t feel tired (the cable car ride offers great views, kids will be very happy). Photo Check-in Spots (great for family photos): Hengshan is super photogenic! Tianfeng Ridge (for panoramic shots with many mountains visible), Huixian Mansion (ancient architecture background, have kids stand on the steps for photos), Kuixing Tower (iconic landmark, let kids touch the tower’s pillars), all are excellent check-in spots to capture beautiful family moments. Even phone cameras can take stunning photos✅. Accommodation Guide: Recommended **Hunyuan Kaide Hotel**, with family rooms and a children’s play area, 15 minutes by car from Hengshan Visitor Center, spacious and comfortable rooms, can prepare warm meals for kids at night, and free parking available.
