Jinfo Mountain is located in Nanchuan District, Chongqing.

You can also choose to take the scenic spot sightseeing bus directly to the ropeway station. After going up the mountain, walk slowly along the scarab Chaoyang trail, pass through bamboo forests and viewing platforms along the way, and stop to overlook the peaks and cliffs. It takes about 1.5 hours to get to the visitor center. At the fork in the road in front of the visitor center, there are tour buses that can go straight to the north slope, but only in the peak season and off season, there are minibuses run by local people.

There are many natural caves on the northern slope of the mountain, among which the ancient Buddha cave is the most famous.

Go along Luohan and walk to the exit. The mouth of the cave is surrounded by cliffs on three sides and backed by mountains. When the weather is clear, it is an excellent place for Jinfo Mountain to watch the sea of clouds.
In addition, the other side of the ancient plank road is the ecological stone forest.
