Jizu Mountain is one of the top ten famous Buddhist mountains in China, and it is a Buddhist holy land in South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is named for its "three peaks in the front and one ridge in the back, just like a chicken foot". When worshipping at Jizu Mountain, it was the first time I saw a temple put a large pile of free incense for self-service. The fortune-telling sign only costs ¥3 and the written sign costs ¥6. Buddha also saves the poor. When you are in line for fortune-telling, be sure to look up at the Golden Dome Temple. The pagoda will move with the clouds and it is very sacred. The signs of Jizu Mountain are very effective. I have been there for three years in a row, and my luck has been rising, which is very magical. The scenery on the top of the mountain is very beautiful. You can overlook Binchuan, and if the angle is right, you can even see Erhai Lake. There are steps all the way for hiking, which is quite friendly. It takes about 5 hours. If you can't walk, you can also take the cable car directly. Buddhist worship Tips: ⚠When entering the temple door, always step in with your left foot and step out with your right foot. ⚠Bring cash, fortune-telling signs, and written signs only accept cash.

For an amazing, far off the beaten track route to Jizushan near Dali, use Komoot maps and take the shortest route from Wasezhen. It’s unforgettable and does not disappoint. The first half of the route is great on an electric unicycle, but the second half is hiking only, on small narrow and rocky trails. But reaching the mountain top temple in this way, is truly amazing. After leaving the main road there’s a wide, old cobbled road which later turns into a one metre cobbled horse path. maybe you could teach this trailhead by car. The remaining 10km or so to the top, would still be fantastic. Only for the highly adventurous…#dali #wasezhen #jizushan #adventure #unicycle #euc #temple
