The weather was nice so I had a good time. The waiting line to get down was sooooo long that it would be faster to take the bus. The waiting line was sooooo long. It would be faster to go to the building on the other side and take the city bus. I would only recommend it for the way up~

redemption was simple…. but do leave more buffer in time to cross all the customs and check…. there was custom and check on both side Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Were started the checking in process at about 12pm and only got onto the train at about 1.35pn for our 1.41pm train. train took off at 1.40pm and was actually closing doors a minute earlier. there are space to put luggage at the back or just in front of ur legs. seats are fine….

An interesting riding experience. The climb up is very steep, almost vertical, and the descent is backwards! ! You can just buy a one-way ticket, and you have more freedom when going down the mountain. If you want to experience going down the mountain backwards, you can buy a round-trip ticket, but you have to pay attention to the time when you go down the mountain. It is recommended to go down the mountain earlier, otherwise the queues will be terrible!
