Introduction
The sheer cliffside plank road is the most magnificent landscape of Jinfoshan. The plank road is actually 3.5 kilometers long, with 1.5 kilometers built on nearly vertical 90-degree cliffs, 40-50 meters above the ground. Walking on it feels like stepping on air and is breathtaking. This section is generally called the sheer cliffside plank road. It connects scenic spots such as Jinguichaoyang, Jianzhuhai, Lingguandong, and a ecological stone forest. Among them, Yanzi Cave is a habitat for ancient rock swallows that lived at the same time as dinosaurs. If you encounter rock swallows going out for food or returning to their nests, you can see the spectacular scene of thousands of swallows flying together. Walking on the plank road, you can walk through the clouds on foggy days and embrace the mountains on sunny days. It is the best location for observing azaleas, colorful forests, clouds, and the Buddha's radiance. Address Jinfo Mountain West Slope, Nanshan District, Chongqing
