Qiongtai & Jinding Cableway
琼台(琼台中观·金顶索道)
The transfer point at the lower station of the Jinding Cableway. Qiongtai Middle Temple is quiet and peaceful, and the cableway takes just over ten minutes to reach Jinding.
Qiongtai sits on the southeast side of Tianzhu Peak. It is the transfer point for sightseeing shuttles inside the Wudang scenic area and the lower station of the Jinding Cableway. Nearby Qiongtai Middle Temple is a quiet Taoist temple that few visitors reach. Most visitors take the cableway up to Jinding from here. The full ride takes just over ten minutes, with views of rolling peaks and misty valleys along the way. You can ride back down on the cableway, or take the Ancient Pilgrim Path via Chaotian Palace to Wuya Ridge and Nanyan Palace. The cableway is charged separately. Holidays bring long queues, so arrive early. It stops in high winds or during maintenance.
