A comfortable yet fun and sporty tour route to West Mountain and Dianchi Lake!

Let's start with the route: Subway West Mountain Park Station → One-way bus to Nie Er's Tomb → Walk up the mountain to the essence of Longmen → Open cable car down the mountain → Take the enclosed cable car to Dianchi Lake → Start touring Haigeng Dam and other surroundings of Dianchi Lake. Ticket purchase and consumption (per adult): Ctrip ticket 10 yuan + one-way bus 12.5 + one-way downhill cable car 25 + Dianchi Lake cable car 60. 📝 Note tips: 👉🏻 Exit A of West Mountain Park Subway Station, according to the sign, it is easy to find the ticket hall and the bus stop. The bus will stop at small attractions such as Taihua Temple in the middle, if you don't want to see it, you can directly sit to the end point Nie Er's Tomb. 👉🏻 From Nie Er's Tomb to the essence of Longmen (this is the ticket purchase and ride point for the cable car and electric car.) It is recommended to walk, it only takes ten to twenty minutes in total, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way, and you don't feel tired. (I walked around the entire West Mountain Scenic Area according to this route, only more than 6,000 steps.) If you are with the elderly and children and don't want to walk too much, and just want to turn around at the essence, then you can choose to take the electric car or the cable car up and down. If you choose the cable car for one-way only, I personally recommend taking the downhill one. Climbing up the mountain on foot is not so tiring, and there is more fun in exercise. Going down the mountain will make your knees uncomfortable. And there are not so many people queuing for the downhill. 👉🏻 Arrive at Longmen, after touring, continue to go forward, through a hole to reach the platform. From the platform, follow the sign to the "downhill cable car" direction (about ten minutes walk). The cable car in the scenic area is open, with a very good view, relax and immerse yourself in nature, it's wonderful! The whole journey is almost 20 minutes. 👉🏻 After going down, look at the sign, buy a cable car ticket to Dianchi Lake, one-way 60 yuan, also about 20 minutes. This is enclosed, up to six people, one or two people are also separate. This cable car first goes down the mountain, then crosses Dianchi Lake, and then you can tour Haigeng Dam and other attractions around Dianchi Lake.
