Ma'anshan Park — Attraction in Liuzhou City

Ma'anshan is an amazing half day trip. The cable car ride is great, a little terrifying because it looks old and run down but it seems to run all day everyday so I gave it a go and put my own anxieties aside and wow the views are amazing.

On arriving via taxi, I walked around to find the entrance to the cable car, you have to scale some stairs to find that its cash only and the price for a return cable car trip is 60RMB. NOTE that there is an elevator inside the mountain and you can take it up and back down for 10RMB each way. So if your alittle worried about the cable car safety you can walk around to the base of the mountain and find the entrance and use the elevator, its cheaper and looks to be brand new.

The security staff at the top of the mountain told me the elevator height is equivalent to level 56.

Once at the very peak, there is more walking to go from one end to the other, some great tree coverage and viewing decks and lots of stair cases down the other sides to walk back down, all the way to the ground if you want. Or you can walk back to the lift and take the elevator for 10RMB or you could go back and take the cable car. In my case I forfeited my return cable car ticket and spent the extra 10RMB to take the...

Very nice views onto the city. Easy walk up the mountain (although it gets really hot). 5* for the mountain, 2* off for the management! There is trash along the steps which seem not to have been cleared for many days. Also, there are no restaurants or shops opened along the route (even though they are marked on the map) so if you didn't bring enough water with, you're out of luck on the mountain. Also, the elevator...

Very nice overview of the city! Don’t miss the elevator (as we did) 🤪 Cable car does not...
