Sun Wukong's hometown originally looked like this

Visiting Lianyungang, Huaguoshan is undoubtedly the best choice. This is the birthplace of Sun Wukong described in 'Journey to the West', known to everyone as the 'hometown of the Great Sage'. 📌 The main peak of Huaguoshan, Yunnvfeng, has an altitude of 624.4 meters, which is the highest in Jiangsu. From the top, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire scenic area, and on a clear day, you can see the sea. . 🚌 Tour route: It is recommended to take the sightseeing bus directly to the top of Yunnvfeng from the entrance of the scenic area, then walk through Yuhuang Pavilion to Shuilian Cave, and then go down to Sanyuan Palace before taking the bus back to the entrance of the scenic area. The scenery along the way is the essence of the scenic area. The route can also be reversed, but going uphill is more tiring than downhill. . 🐒 About 'Big Brother': The monkeys on the mountain are concentrated between Yuhuang Pavilion and Sanyuan Palace. It is recommended to use a telephoto lens for shooting. The monkeys are playful and move very fast, so do not provoke or feed them, as getting too close can risk an attack. The character of the monkeys here is quite good, and they deserve a special mention for not having been found stealing from tourists. . 🎫 Ticket price is 90 yuan per person (online price, booking one day in advance can save 5 yuan); sightseeing bus from the mountain gate to the top is 25 yuan per person one way, from Sanyuan Palace (Shuilian Cave) to the mountain gate is 20 yuan per person, and tickets can be purchased at each station. . 💡 Suggested visiting time is 3-4 hours
