A
[Direct conclusion] The approach to the Yique Gate has steps, so the stroller can reach the entrance but not the whole route. Gentle slopes toward the Fengxian Temple are manageable; steeper stone steps require carrying the child or using a carrier.
Key points to keep in mind:
1. Main route: parts of the path are gently sloped and pushable. After the Cave of the Sun, several stone flights cannot be taken with a stroller, but carrying a child through takes about ten metres.
2. Width: the main route is wide with room to turn. The Ten Thousand Buddha Cave and side caves are narrow with dim lighting, where carrying is more practical.
3. Facilities: there is a storage area at the entrance where you can leave the stroller and collect it afterwards. Queues are longer during public holidays.
4. Other sites: the White Horse Temple has mostly flat ground, while Laojun Mountain and Yuntai Mountain have many steps, where a light carrier is easier than a stroller.
Note: Keep the basket light. Managing a loaded stroller on steps is tiring, and young children often need a break at the entrance area midway.
