The steep peaks and crisscrossing gullies are the first impressions of tourists. You may think how hard it is to climb the mountain, but you don’t have to bother with that.
 
In 2020, cableways, escalators, self-service “climbing machines”, cliff sightseeing elevators and other facilities were installed at an altitude of 1,400 to 1,600 meters in the scenic area to create an barrier-free tourist passage that allows people with limited mobility to reach the top of Wuzhi Peak without getting off their wheelchair throughout the entire journey.
