[2025 Pingyuan Attraction] Travel Guide for Meizhou Five Finger Stone (Updated Jul)

#OverseasTravel #Guangzhou #GuangzhouTravel One year I went to Meizhou to visit relatives, chartered a car to Meizhou's famous attraction Wuzhishi, from the city, took two or so hours to finally reach Wuzhishi Scenic Area. From a distance, the mountain of Five Fingers could be seen towering in the valley. Unfortunately, the weather was unfavorable and it was overcast all day, but it didn't stop us from seeing its majesty. It is named five-fingered stone because it is arranged in a form that is extremely similar to when a person’s five fingers are spread apart. And every big stone has a patched slit in the middle, we went to visit a line of sky and grind the belly seam. The canyon between the stone seams was so narrow that one could only walk through it, and it was as thrilling and exciting as falling off a cliff. There is also a high-altitude glass canyon, vertical height of more than 200 meters really a little feed high can not do 😂😂 **The first photo used computer effect, five-finger stone with blue sky and white clouds is much more beautiful🤪

Meizhou Wuzhishi is located in Pingyuan County, Meizhou, and is divided into two scenic areas. The old scenic area has a round-trip cable car, and the new scenic area requires a sightseeing car. Tickets must be purchased with at least a sightseeing car because the two scenic areas are far apart. The cable car in the old scenic area can be skipped. If you don't buy it, you need to walk up the mountain, which is not very high. The cable car is not very far, and it is not worth the fare. Those with good physical strength can walk, but it is recommended to save energy, because you still need to climb the mountain in the new scenic area. The ticket package is very expensive, with a full-day ticket of CNY 150, including a cable car and a sightseeing car. The scenery is okay, not good or bad.

During our travels, we seek not only the scenery but also ourselves.
