aerial views of layered mountains, lush valleys, and drifting clouds. Upon
reaching the upper station, you can either climb the final 600 steps to the
summit or take a funicular for a more relaxed ascent. At the summit, take in awe-inspiring panoramic views and visit the
beautiful spiritual complex, including majestic pagodas, statues, and prayer
