Things to do
Pagodas worksheet: we'll supply a worksheet we made for the Cub Scouts that includes things to do and look out for while we're walking and exploring. Count the pagodas, 打卡 at the main sites, and more.
Explore the pagoda site: take a look around all the pagodas, sited on an open, grassy space with trees and big rocks. Walk a little bit further to find a prayer cave.
Climb the stairs of Silver Mountain: paved paths and stairs lead up Silver Mountain, passing caves, boulders, and lookout points. Older kids should be able to make it all the way to the top in about 45 minutes, passing the Bell Pavilion on the way. Shorter hike options are also available.
Please contact us if you'd like more details about the plan.
