Hours to walk up and down the mountain?

How many hours does it take to WALK up and down the mountain at mountain back (Yungu) or front (Taiping)?

Hours to walk up and down the mountain?

If I take the Taiping cable car up, WHAT IS THE BEST TO GET DOWN THE MOUNTAIN?

Take a different car down, and if so, which? Walk down, at western slope, as a different post says?

I will stay at a hotel at the mountain top and, after seeing the sunrise, will come down the mountain, going to Westlake at noon or afternoon, before taking a plane to Guilin in the evening.

Hours to walk up and down the mountain?

I just found out thru the internet that it takes about 3 hrs to walk up from the mountain back, and about 6 hrs from mountain front. However, walking down should take less hours. Thanks anyway.

Not sure what you mean by ';back'; and ';front';. The two main walking trails are claled Western %26amp; Eastern steps. Western steps is the most scenic route. It takes about 7 hours and would not be a lot quicker going down. The Eastern steps is the most direct (read boring) and is directly under the cable car. It takes about 3 hours up and 2-2.5 hour down. Both end up near the cable car station.

Yeah, I am a bit confused about the terminology.

For mountain front, I meant where the Taiping cable car slope,, while the mountain back is the Yungu cable car slope.

When you said the western steps, do you mean the Yuping cable car slope, or the Taiping cable car slope?

I thought that the Taiping cable car slope is very pretty, but I have no idea about the scenery of the Yuping slope at all, presumably same as the Yungu slope?

Eastern steps: Yungu (Cloud Valley) cable car. Western steps: Yuping (Jade Screen) cable car.

Thanks.
