Jinfoding is Viewpoint 3 of the Jinkeng Dazhai terraces, at about 1,100 meters above sea level, and the best place to take in the full panorama of the terraces. The scenic area operates the Jinkeng cable car, which takes roughly ten minutes from Dazhai village to the top. It is the first choice for visitors who have limited stamina or limited time.

Cable car tickets are sold separately, and service may be suspended in high winds or thunderstorms, so follow the notices on site. The summit is windy, so dress warmly.
