Duoyishu Terraces

多依树梯田

The Duoyishu Scenic Area includes Duoyishu, Aichun, Dawazha and other contiguous terraced fields covering tens of thousands of mu. In the pictures of Yuanyang photography blockbusters, the most common place is Duoyishu. The terraced fields here are like prints, with various colors, spectacular and beautiful. Especially at sunrise, the constantly changing colors on the water in front of you are dazzling, and the Duoyishu village looming in the mist and rain makes people feel like entering a fairyland.

User Reviews

By Scholar's spirit |

Yuanyang Rice Terraces is a large area, with a ticket price of 70 yuan per ticket (free for people over 60 years old), which includes four attractions: Bada, Duoyishu, Laohuzui, and Qingkou Folk Village. Bada and Laohuzui are the best places to watch the sunset, and Duoyishu is the best place to watch the sunrise.

The best time to take photos of the Yuanyang Rice Terraces is from November to April of the following year, because the terraces will be filled with water after the autumn harvest until the rice planting in the following year. At this time, the terraces have a strong sense of layering and sparkle under the sunlight. Many photos of the terraces we see on the Internet were taken during this period. In winter, the undulating terraces appear and disappear in the gaps of the fog, presenting a misty and ink painting-like pastoral scene, which makes you feel like you are in a dreamland.

By Viewpoint |

The inn we stayed in was in Shengcun, which was about 4 kilometers away from the Duoyishu Observation Deck where we could watch the sunrise. It took about an hour to walk there.

I left home at 6:30 in the morning and walked to Duoyishu. It was still dark, so it was best to bring a flashlight.

In February, sunrise is around 7:40.

Duoyishu is the most popular place to watch the sunrise at Yuanyang Rice Terraces. I saw it mentioned in many travel guides before coming here.

If you drive up in the morning, try to get there early, or find a place to park your car when you are close to the Doi Suthep Observation Deck. It would be very frustrating if you are stuck in traffic at Doi Suthep when the sun rises.

The roads in the mountains are not wide to begin with, and traffic jams can easily occur if you park on the side of the road.



When watching the sunrise in Doi Suthep, the sunrise does not rise from the horizon due to the mountains to the west.



When I saw the sun, it was actually already high and bright. So I felt that the sunrise here was not very beautiful. Maybe the photographers wanted the light in the morning, or the equipment technology was different, so the effect was different.

My equipment is not good and my skills are even worse, so I can just take some photos with my phone to leave a true record.

By Sweet lady's exquisite life |

In the early morning, the Doi Yilan trees and the mist filled the sky above the terraced fields. The houses and woods in the distance were a little hazy, and there was an indescribable fairy-like aura all around.



People were waiting by the terraces early in the morning with their guns and rifles, hoping to record their own beautiful scenery and memories:



When the sun begins to peek out from the edge of the clouds, the morning glow is particularly gorgeous and dazzling.



The terraces are also rendered in different colors.

By Crab Scholar |

We set off at 6 o'clock, and the place was already crowded by 7 o'clock. However, the fog was still the same as the previous two days, thick and dense with a lingering fragrance.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the fog cleared. The trees appeared and some light was reflected on the water. Master Sun gave a fair comment: "It passed the test."

But I think it's better than a passing grade. Although I saw the terraces for no more than two hours in total in the past few days, the terraces in the clouds and mist really exude spirituality at all times, which is not comparable to the terraces under clear skies.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces, as a farming wonder created by the Hani people over 1,300 years, has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site, and the Duoyishu Observation Deck is the best place to view the terraces. Here you can not only enjoy the spectacular terraced scenery, but also feel the strong ethnic cultural atmosphere.

Address: 25 kilometers east of Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province (55 kilometers from the county seat).

Ticket price: 70 yuan (including Duoyishu and Bada scenic spots, valid for 72 hours), or 180 yuan for a 10-day pass.

Opening hours: 6:00-20:00, you need to reserve a spot in advance during sunrise

Best time: 6:30-7:30 in the morning (later in winter). Around 7:00, the sun jumps out of the sea of ​​clouds and the terraces in the morning mist change like ink.

Shooting tips: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the layered feel of the terraces, and take up position in advance (it is recommended to arrive before 5:30), so that the sun shines on the water to enhance the vividness of the picture.

The Duoyishu Rice Terraces Scenic Area is located in the core area of ​​Yuanyang Rice Terraces National Wetland Park and the world cultural heritage application, 23 kilometers away from the old county seat (Xinjie Town), at an altitude of 1,900 meters. There are 650 hectares of terraces distributed on the 25° to 50° hillsides shaped like bays such as Duoyishu, Aichun and Dawazha. It is a good place to view and photograph the sea of ​​clouds terraces, sunrise and mountain villages.

By Jiao Youyou |

When I woke up, I saw that all kinds of vehicles had blocked the narrow road.

I walked quickly 30 meters to the Duoyishu Observation Deck and found that it was already packed with people, and it was impossible to get a good spot. There were more people watching the sunrise than in Shicheng last year. There were at least several thousand people watching the sunrise over the terraced fields on the observation deck.

But as soon as I saw today's scenery, I was instantly shocked. A crescent moon hung on the edge of the sunrise glow. It was a rare sight of the sun and the moon shining together. What was even rarer was that a large sea of ​​clouds hung right between the terraces and the sunrise, making the terraces and the sunrise even more beautiful.

On the morning of the second and third day, I photographed the Duoyishu Scenic Area twice, waiting for the occasional rays of light to illuminate the surface of the terraced fields in the mist and drizzle.

By The highest good is like water |

Duoyishu Terraces is a great place to take photos of the sunrise.

By Han Feihome |

Amid the misty clouds, I really can't think of any other words to describe it. This is clearly not a fairyland that can be encountered in the human world.

By Warm |

Watch the sunrise. The sunrise here is relatively late, rising around 8 o'clock, which is especially suitable for those who have difficulty getting up.

By Potato's Inscription |

You must wear windproof clothing when visiting the Doi Shu Terraces. If the wind is too strong, you will freeze to death.

By George Chen |

The Laoyingzui Rice Terraces are suitable for watching the sunset, while the Duoyishu Rice Terraces are suitable for watching the sunrise. Tickets are required for the Duoyishu Rice Terraces scenic area, but there are 1-2 viewing platforms around, where you can also take pictures. You should also pay attention to the traffic problem. During the "morning rush hour", you need to pay attention to safety when passing other cars.

By *The sky is the limit |

The best place to view the sunrise is the Duoyishu Rice Terraces. In the early morning, the Duoyishu Rice Terraces are like an ink painting.

The blue sky would not be so beautiful without the white clouds. The sunrise over the Duoyishu terraces in the morning did not show its most beautiful side again because there was no refraction of clouds. Just be normal. If the terraces were the same every day, I am afraid they would not attract so many people to come again and again. After all, what you can't get is the most perfect.

Duoyishu is the intermediate stop on this terraced field trip. From Duoyishu village, you can go directly down to the terraced fields and observe this miracle up close.

If you observe the terraces closely, you can see duckweed in the water.

By 遠方姑娘_ |

The Duoyishu Terraces are surrounded by mountains on three sides and fall into the valley on one side, shaped like a large bay.

The setting sun is reflected on the shallow water surface of the terraced fields, and the golden color is very beautiful.

By jessica |

You can watch the sunrise over Duoyishu early in the morning. At 7 o'clock in the morning, when we hurried to the observation deck, we were surprised by the crowds of people waiting for the best viewing position.

By MIKA |

The scenery is not as good as Bada, the colors are more monotonous and the sense of layering is poor

By Old Tour |

The Duoyishu Rice Terraces are like a landscape painting with a well-balanced and graceful curves. At around 7:55 in the morning, a fireball leaped out from behind the hillock, and the colors of the sky became more magnificent. Colorful beams of light swayed on the hillside, and the morning light covered the terraces with a layer of gold foil, which sparkled in the breeze. The ink landscape was dotted with a touch of gold, making it more lively and energetic.

By ~Sunrise~ |

At that time of year, the sunrise at Doi Shu is usually around 7:00 in the morning, and the Doi Shu scenic area normally opens at 6:00, but in order to get a good camera position, we got up at 5:00 and arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at around 5:30. Although we anticipated the crowds we might encounter, when we arrived at the scene, we were still scared by the long line in the dark. We could only follow the line to find the disappeared end of the line.

We finally waited until the doors opened. Fortunately, we had done our homework beforehand. We did not linger on the top rows, but ran straight to the observation deck below. We finally found a suitable camera position in the third row and set up the tripod. All that was left was to wait quietly for the moment when the sun showed a hint of red from the other side of the mountain.

As time goes by, the light in the sky keeps changing, and the color slowly changes from the initial deep blue to different colors such as red and yellow. It's a pity that the light and shadow are fleeting, and the time to record is too short. The conversations around gradually disappear, and what follows is the sound of shutter clicks one after another.

The morning is the beginning of the day. If you want to see the most beautiful sunrise, you have to sacrifice your sleep time. That day we got up at 6:30 in the morning and rushed here - the most suitable place to watch the sunrise in the Hani Terraces Scenic Area.

When we arrived, the outermost layer was already full of people, with all kinds of cameras and long guns, waiting for the most beautiful moment of sunrise. Duoyishu is always shrouded in clouds and mist, and the wonders of the sea of ​​clouds depend on your luck. That day, the sea of ​​clouds was mainly concentrated in the village area on the left, and did not spread to the terraced fields, which was a bit regrettable.

By Little L |

The scenery is nice. It's not the peak tourist season, so you can't see the more praised scenery in the guide, but the green is also a different feeling😉

By Ekship |

The Duoyishu Terraces are medium-sized, with a high viewing platform and a good view. Tourists usually come here to watch the sunrise. We got up early, but the driver we booked failed to pick us up on time. The hotel security contacted another driver and took a van directly to Duoyishu Terraces. The viewing platform was crowded with people. It was foggy that day, so we had to wait for a long time and were freezing. The sunrise view was obscured by the thick fog, and only a few moments of reflection from the terraces could be seen.

By McDull |

I got up at 6am. Due to the time difference, the sun hadn't come out yet, but there were already many people taking photos on the viewing platform of the inn. In fact, it was unnecessary, because the inn's geographical location was superior (built directly on the edge of the terraced field, facing the valley), and there were many places to take panoramic photos of the place, and there were more beautiful photos when we went down to the fields. On the contrary, due to the same geographical location of the hotel (halfway up the mountain), let alone the viewing platform, even if we climbed up to the antenna of the inn, we couldn't take a panoramic photo of the Duoyishu viewing platform.

Compared to the sunset, the sunrise is more beautiful. The terraced fields are really beautiful.

I went to Yuanyang from Kunming in mid-April this year. The journey took 7 hours. It rained that night, but I was lucky enough to see the sunrise the next day. It was quite spectacular!

By The Sky on the Other Shore |

The sunrise at Duoyishu is recognized as spectacular. But it depends on luck and weather. If the weather is not good, everything will be in vain. If the weather is good, be careful not to miss the terraced fields of Aichunlan.

By lxltyhty |

Locals often say "Sunrise over Duoyishu, sunset over Tiger's Mouth". To take photos of the sunrise, you must get up early to grab the best shooting position. Duoyishu Terraces are not only spectacular in shape, but the most special thing is the golden clouds here. Because they are often shrouded in fog, the sunrise will form a magnificent spectacle, which is breathtakingly beautiful. This is one of the favorite places for photographers. My friend and I got up early and decided to go to Duoyishu Scenic Area to watch the sunrise. Yunnan sunrise is relatively late. At 7:20, the sun had not yet finished washing. I thought there was no hope, but I was not disappointed. I came mainly for the sea of ​​clouds on the terraces. In an instant, the sun jumped out and gave me a surprise.

A little after eight o'clock, waves of clouds and mist slowly rose from the bottom of the mountain and floated in one direction. The clouds and mist on the mountain and below gathered together and kept changing. It can be said that the clouds and mist flew across. The thin clouds seemed to be coated with a layer of gold under the favor of the sun, letting us know that clouds can also have different colors. The layers of terraced fields were covered by the sea of ​​clouds, looming, as if in a misty fairyland. Those groups and clusters were like dreams and illusions, with a bit of mystery and magic, like a wonderful ink painting of nature.

It's nice to come here to enjoy the terraced scenery that is hard to see in other places if you are not here for photography. It's just that it's not easy to drive here. The altitude here is about 1,800 meters, and it's very cold in the morning and evening with only a single layer of clothing.

It is difficult to tell which inn to choose from Baidu Maps. The viewing point on the map is very good (it is charged by a certain company + government, and the villagers will not benefit from it, so we chose to watch from the side). Directly below this observation point is the Duoyishu Terraces, and directly opposite is the mountain where the sun rises. At sunrise, you can see the reflection of the terraces at the viewing point, which must be very beautiful (the weather must cooperate).

A few hundred meters to the right from the viewing point is the large Duoyishu Village. The inn views here are all on the side, so you can't see the reflection of the terraces in the morning. But you can see the sea of ​​clouds from here. I woke up at 4 a.m. and saw a very thick sea of ​​clouds in the valley. At 7 or 8 a.m., the sea of ​​clouds became lighter, and then rose upwards, which was really beautiful.

There is a square on the right side of the village, and then you will reach the terraced fields. In fact, you can also reach the viewing point by turning left from here and walking towards the viewing point. (ps: There are so many people at the viewing point in the morning.)

We went to eat here at 5:30 pm and were told that it would not open until 6:30 pm. Later we found out that people who had come to watch the sunset started to come back after 7 pm and the restaurant started cooking.

There is no fruit for sale here :( Wrong season?

By Angel Wings |

The scenery is like a fairyland, but there are not many viewing platforms. People are so crowded that they quarrel over taking pictures. Tickets are checked at the door, but no staff is seen maintaining order after entering.

By guanxin13 |

The blue terraces are actually when the sunlight on a sunny day shines on the paddy fields between 8:30 and 9:30, the terraces will magically appear a crystal blue color. In the morning, the mist in the ravine has not completely dissipated, and a large area of ​​blue terraces are looming in the mist. With the surrounding villages and trees as a backdrop, the scenery is picturesque, dreamy, and truly beautiful.

By firefly |

I had seen the breathtaking photos of the Hani Fields many years ago and had included it in my travel plan, but it was kept postponed until March of this year. I decided to go almost on a whim and made an appointment with my classmates. We hit it off immediately and realized my wish from many years ago.

Duoyishu Rice Terraces is the best place to watch the sunrise. There is often a sea of ​​clouds when watching the sunrise. We were very lucky to see a particularly beautiful sea of ​​clouds. The surrounding Hani villages, mountains, sea of ​​clouds, and terraces, the sun shining on the terraces, it was so beautiful! I will never forget it!

By no |

The terraced fields here are like prints, with ever-changing colors, spectacular and beautiful. Especially at sunrise, the constantly changing colors on the water are dazzling, and the Doi Suthep village looming under the sea of ​​clouds and mist makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. The picture composed of sunrise, sea of ​​clouds and terraced fields has made everyone immersed in this beautiful picture. Although there are huge crowds of people, there is no sound at all, and even people's breathing seems to have stopped...

The gleam of water on the layers and winding, well-arranged terraces gives you a sense of refinement. The Hani people, who do not understand aesthetics, cut the mountains and water into sections in a huge valley, inadvertently creating a masterpiece of man and nature.

By Qibao travels around the world |

I stayed here for 3 days and watched one sunrise, two sunsets, various seas of clouds, and terraces of various colors. It was so beautiful.

By Zhong Xiaobao |

Finally, I got my wish to watch the sunrise from the tree. The weather was sunny and beautiful.

By Jason |

If Yuanyang represents the Yunnan Rice Terraces, then Duoyishu represents the Yuanyang Rice Terraces.

Every Spring Festival, villagers prepare for a year of farming and start to irrigate the terraces. When the water irrigates the well-arranged terraces layer by layer, the beauty of light, shadow and color is fully displayed. The Yuanyang Terraces are a masterpiece cultivated by the local Hani people for generations and have been listed as a United Nations World Heritage Site.

At 5am, we packed up our gear and chose to stay near Duoyi Tree. We walked for a few minutes to the scenic spot ticket gate (remember to bring your ticket), but there were already more than 30 people waiting at the gate. There were also villagers who were preparing food for the queued tourists, including children who sold us freshly baked eggs and adults who drove tricycles loaded with hot buns.

An important reminder is that a few hours before sunrise at Duoyishu, traffic jams start to occur in the scenic area, so it is best to stay in an inn near the scenic area, which is only a few minutes' walk away.

From the outside, it can be seen that the Duoyishu Observation Deck was transformed from terraced fields, and is divided into several levels from the entrance to the scenic area.

By Gargamel |

There are many vans from the old county town to Duoyishu, 20 per person. I think the most essential part of the Yuanyang Terraces is Duoyishu, but don't go there in February, because to see the terraced fields reflecting the sunrise requires good weather. Instead, it is a good choice to see the green and yellow rice fields in April, May or September and October.

By Xiaoyang Chosen |

The Duoyishu Observation Deck is open to the public in the afternoon. The blue terraces are very beautiful at this time, and there are usually few people at the observation deck.

By TOM |

Although the weather was not very good, I met an old man who had been taking photos for 21 years. After watching the videos and photos he took, I admired his persistence and perseverance. The terraces are really beautiful, but God played a little joke on us. If you have enough time and have a special liking for the terraces, you might as well stay a few more days. There will always be good weather.

By ∴Pepsi√Cola |

It was night when we got there. We woke up early to watch the sunrise, but it was covered in thick fog! ! !

By I stay in bed all day |

It's a good place to watch the sunrise, but you have to go there in advance to occupy a favorable terrain. While waiting for the sunrise, the quality of each person can be seen. When you go there, you can neither make trouble unreasonably nor make unreasonable arguments. We just talk about reason, but when facing some people with no quality, you must stand up bravely and condemn them.

By Mu Yi Yadan |

Get up early to watch the sunrise over Duoyishu, and walk around the small village.

By happy |

Including Duoyishu, Aicun, Dawazha and other contiguous terraced fields covering more than 9,000 mu, its shape is like a large bay, a paradise for photographing sunrise. There is Duoyishu Photography Art Exchange Center in the scenic area, and the viewing room can directly watch the sunrise, which feels good!

By Tianshan |

Among the terraced fields in China, Duoyishu is one of the must-see attractions. The sunrise at Duoyishu is spectacular. If Longsheng terraced fields are graceful, then Duoyishu is majestic! The road from Yuanyang New County to Duoyishu is also a ladder to heaven, which is definitely worth a trip.

You may not be able to see the terraced fields when you come to Yuanyang. We took a two-day tour of Yuanyang, departing from Kunming on one day and returning to Yuanyang on the second day. We felt that two days were enough to visit the terraced fields. It rained all the time on the first day. Since the Duoyishu Terraces are at a high altitude, we drove in the fog until the end. Fortunately, the driver was very skilled and drove smoothly all the way. Unexpectedly, the sky cleared up on the second day. We hurried to the Yunshang Tianshang Hotel at around 7 o'clock. We didn't need to buy a ticket. The driver recommended it. We saw the sunrise. The terraced fields are really beautiful, changing with time, which is very wonderful. At around 8 o'clock, the fog came up again, and the terraced fields were covered again. Fortunately, it was a feast for the eyes^_^

Duoyishu Terraces Scenic Area is located in the core area of ​​Yuanyang Terraces National Wetland Park and the World Cultural Heritage Application, 23 kilometers away from the old county town (Xinjie Town), located at an altitude of 1,900 meters. There are 650 hectares of terraces distributed on the bay-shaped 25° to 50° hillsides such as Duoyishu, Aichun, and Dawazha. It is the best scenic spot for viewing and photographing the sea of ​​clouds terraces, sunrises and mountain villages. The famous landscape film "Yunnan Story" was shot with these terraces and villages as the main scenes.

By Zheng Zizai |

The Duoyishu Rice Terraces are indeed beautiful, but there are also a lot of people. You have to arrive two hours before sunrise to get a good spot.

By 黃鶴樓 |

Walking along the Red River, there are banana trees and other fruit trees on both sides of the road. As the altitude increases, green terraces can be seen everywhere in Yuanyang. However, the terraces we saw in July were not the most beautiful. The paddy fields in April were as beautiful as a mirror under the sun.

By Qinling 007 |

The scenery in the morning is great. I got up at 5:30 in the morning to grab a good spot, but I didn't expect that there was already a traffic jam on the road. It took me a long time to find a parking space, but there was no good place to take pictures. There are too few parking spots

The sunrise in Duoyishu is very famous. There are many inns around it. Some of them allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery directly in your room. The service is also very good.

The sun came hesitantly after we climbed onto the hotel's viewing platform. In the early morning, we saw clouds and mist flowing from the slopes of the Doi Suthep into the valley. The viewing platform of Doi Suthep was in the clouds and mist, and many people were waiting to take pictures of the sunrise. When the sun tried to jump out of the clouds, it was already in the sky. People were extremely disappointed, and the sun was gloating. I was obviously looking at the sun, feeling happy that my prank had succeeded.

By 248201519@Kazuo |

On the observation deck, it was still drizzling, but the Duoyishu Terraces were already in front of us. The mist drifted past, and the terraces appeared from time to time. Although it was not as magnificent and beautiful as when the sun was high and the sky was clear, it was as gentle and graceful as a shy girl. I can only say that the terraces here have their own unique styles in spring, summer, autumn and winter, fog, rain, thunder and lightning!

By Lingling Xiaochou |

There are many people at the scenic viewing platform, and the shooting angles are similar. I accidentally found that a friend took a more shocking photo of the sea of ​​clouds from the side. Interested friends can try it.

Duoyishu is the place to watch the sunrise over the terraced fields. If you want to take photos of the sunrise, it is recommended to stay at Duoyishu Inn. It only takes five or six minutes to walk to the sunrise viewing platform. The sunrise over Duoyishu is very magnificent, and if you are lucky, there will be a sea of ​​clouds.

A terraced field suitable for watching the sunrise. As the sun slowly rises, the terraced field takes on a beautiful pink color.

By Gelingshanlu |

Duoyishu Scenic Spot faces west and east and is a good place to watch the sunrise.

There are multi-level viewing platforms with a wide field of vision. Looking out, there are mountains and forests in the distance, and villages under the forests. The terraces under the villages are stacked layer by layer, stretching all the way to the bottom of the valley, which is very spectacular. People summarize this mountain terrace production model passed down from generation to generation by the Hani people as: the Hani terrace ecosystem of forest-village-terraced fields-rivers. It is a typical embodiment of the harmonious coexistence of the Hani people and nature......

Watching the sunrise at Duoyishu requires luck! It was foggy the day we went there. The fog at the bottom of the mountain was flowing up the mountain, and the fog on the mountain was spreading down. There was no sunrise!

The beauty of sunrise lies not only in the beautiful photos taken by people, but also in overcoming the laziness of getting up early and the hardship of climbing the mountain in the dark. When you get up early, the whole village is dark, and the sky is full of stars. You walk through the village in the dark. The village is on a slope, and the road is crowded but many cars are parked. From time to time, local women and children come out to stop passers-by to sell eggs.



The ticket only goes to the viewing platform, but in fact you can see the terraces and sunrise from many high places in the village.



The scenic area is too congested, with narrow roads and many cars, and random parking. Uncivilized tourists park their cars on the roadside and leave. I suggest you don't come here. At least don't drive here.

Maybe, "one mountain has four seasons, and the weather is different every mile" is what this place is like. The weather changes very capriciously. But the scenery is really great, and you can take a great picture at any time. There is a blue that cannot be achieved by filters.

The scenic spots of Duoyishu include Duoyishu, Aichun, Dawazha and other continuous terraced fields covering tens of thousands of mu. Duoyishu Scenic Area is the best place to watch the sunrise. When I went there, there was a thick fog under the viewing platform and I couldn't see anything. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I had to hide in the car. After 9 o'clock, the fog slowly dissipated with the wind, and the rain gradually stopped. The terraced fields and houses under the viewing platform began to appear. As the clouds moved, the fields, trees, and houses were looming in the clouds, like a fairyland.

I stayed in the K2 Youth Hostel located in Duoyishu Pugao Laozhai. I was lucky enough to have a four-person room with a view on the second floor all to myself. It was quite convenient to climb to the top floor of the hostel to watch the sunrise. Although the sunrise was greatly reduced due to dark clouds, it was still nice to wander around and it was not necessary to see anything.

We found a local driver and tour guide who took us to various terraced field attractions and took us to good photo locations for sunrise and sunset.

The sun may not come out from the top of the mountain after 8 o'clock, but it will turn the clouds red after 7 o'clock. We set out at about 7 o'clock, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk from the inn to the observation deck. When we arrived, we found that just like the Tiger's Mouth, the good positions of the observation deck on several floors had already been occupied by enthusiasts. We found a corner and set up our posture~
