It is very interesting to be in Wuxing Mountain. If you feel that you have good physical strength, you can also choose to climb the stairs up the mountain. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the mountainside. But if you don’t want to climb the stairs, you can buy an elevator ticket and take the elevator directly to the middle of the mountain. When climbing the stairs of Wuxing Mountain, some of the steps and stones are made of marble. The surface is smooth and it is easy to slip. There is no barrier-free space, so you need to pay special attention. In addition, the entrance of some caves is very small and can only accommodate one person to pass through. It requires the use of both hands and feet, and the caves are dark, so you need to pay more attention when climbing.

Inside the Five Elements Mountain, there are many statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats enshrined, all of which are exquisitely carved. There is a cave deep in the temple, called Xuan Kong. It is shaped like a vaulted room. It is tall and wide. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the crown of many caves in Wuxing Mountain. There are many stalactites on the stone walls of the cave, some of which look like birds. Some of them look like animals. There is also a Buddha about 4 meters tall in the cave with exquisite carvings and natural shape. There are five cracks on the top of the Xuan Kong, just like five heavenly gates. Through the cracks, you can see the bright sunshine during the day and enjoy the stars and the moon at night.

Because the temperature in the cave is low, the cool air in the cave will make you feel comfortable. If you are tired from climbing, you can take a rest in the cave. When climbing the mountain, you can overlook the mountains, the vast sky and the sea. This is an interesting scenic spot worth visiting.
