Itinerary for bus tour from Tianfu Square to Mt. Qingcheng.

Hi, Shirley. As I know, the route you mentioned above is not in operation these days. Anyway, the entry fee is covered in CNY 198, so is the fee for a tour guide. The tour bus is pretty popular, so you are advised to book it in advance. I heard it leads directly to the scenic spot, and doesn't stop at a factory of shop.

You may also go to Mt. Qingcheng from Tianfu square by the following route:
Take subway line 2 from Tianfu Square, get off at Chadianzi Bus Station, and leave from Exit D. Take a long-distance to Qingcheng Mountain for CNY 26. The bus leaves at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, and 14:30, and its duration is about 1.5 hours.

Or, you may take a taxi from the square to the mountain for about CNY 200. The duration is about 1.5 hours. Have a nice trip! :)

Amy, thank-you for your reply. I do not understand though your first point about "the route is not in operation these days." Do you mean the front entrance to the mountain is no longer open to the public? Please clarify if you have a moment. Thank-you.

I actually meant that the sightseeing bus route from Tianfu Square to Mt. Qingcheng is out of service. So you may choose other ways.

Understood now! Thank you Amy for taking the time to respond. My sister and I will make alternate plans.

Regards and best wishes.
