Introduction

Jin Suo Guan, one of the Five Great Mountains of Huashan, is a necessary route to reach the East, West, South, and Central peaks. Its main feature is to pray for safety through the Golden Lock, and tying a lock is an indispensable experience on a Huashan trip. The iron ropes on both sides of the mountain are covered with couples' locks and safety locks, which are piled up one after another, and the red ropes and colorful threads float in the wind, creating a beautiful scenery on Huashan. However, it should be noted that the temperature is low when climbing the mountain, so thick clothes should be brought, and military coats can be rented on the mountain.
