You can either walk to the peak or take the cable car. Scenic view from the top of the mountain is just amazing.

Quite a small hill, but if I you spend an hour(starting from the jiangwangmiao station Metro line 4) to reach the peak,you still get a stunning view of Nanjing city.

Sunrise from the top is beautiful. You see the whole city wakes up slowly.
