Hello Bee, it takes about 10 hours to drive from Shenzhen to Longshan Village (Longfa Villa). On the first day of your arrival, you can stay there for one night. The next day, you can climb mountains in —— or live in Pingxiang. Better conditions, two days and one night will be enough. From Longshan Village, the journey is to send clouds → Qianzhangyan → Haohanpo → Desperate Slope → Hanging Horse Pile → Jinding, and finally the cableway goes down the mountain and out the main entrance.
It is suggested that the accommodation be arranged in Haohanpo, basically in th—— to Fayun Street. It takes 4-5 hours to climb the mountain, and then about 3 hours to reach Haohanpo. It will be much easier to stay for one night and climb the despair slope in Barefoot Depression the next day.
If you are worried about taking a fork in the road, you can install an outdoor navigation APP (such as Six Feet) on your mobile phone, search and collect the routes that others have walked, and follow the trail. You can take Jinding → Jinding Cableway → Fuxing plank road → Zhong A cableway, take a bus ferry to the tourist center, and then take a taxi to Longshan Village to get the car. I hope the above is useful to you.
