Taking the cable car up and walking down is an excellent choice.


The Huiji Temple on the mountain is the focal point of the visit for the vast majority of tourists coming to Foding Mountain.


In addition to the large scale of the temple’s architecture, it is said that the Goddess of Birth within the temple helps people fulfill their wishes for childbirth, attracting many to worship and pray here.


Due to its high elevation, the platform in front of the temple is an ideal spot for people to enjoy sunrises and sunsets.
