From west/east gate to middle gate of Jinshanling

There is no shuttle bus in the scenic area. Hiking all the whole from the west gate to the east gate would take several hours. You are suggested to start your trip from the west gate, for the western segment is not very long. A one-way hiking may take about 1h. Hiking the eastern segment will take a great effort. It would take nearly 3h from the middle gate to Houchuankou. There is a cableway from the middle gate to the Small Jinshan Tower. This may save a lot of your time and energy.
