Xiaohangkeng
1️⃣ The viewing spot is at the "Eurasian Wigeon Viewing Platform," best visited after noon to avoid backlighting.
2️⃣ Guanlongtai Restaurant offers a bird’s-eye view of the campsite from another angle.
3️⃣ Campsites 1 and 2 charge an entry fee, so skip them.

Fushi Village Creek Trekking
1️⃣ The 58 RMB ticket includes creek trekking above the dam, paddleboarding, kayaking, and drinks.
2️⃣ Be sure to wear creek trekking shoes or sandals with heel straps when entering the water.
3️⃣ Creek trekking spots with staff supervision are more reassuring.
——
Mountain Creek Trekking
Set your navigation to Tianhuangping Primary School; there is a river nearby with shallow water suitable for creek trekking and camping. If lucky, you might encounter cows coming to drink water.

Xiao Qiuning Mountain Self-Drive Route
1️⃣ Navigate to Jiangnan Tianchi, passing by: Changgu Dongtian—Daxi Village—Canglong Waterfalls—Dahuangping—Fujiwara Tofu Shop—Jiangnan Tianchi.
2️⃣ Jiangnan Tianchi 🎫80 RMB; you can ski in winter, but other seasons have little to see and few visitors.
3️⃣ Roll down the windows, feel the mountain breeze, and enjoy the full self-driving experience.

White Tea Viewing Platform
An ordinary tea garden hillside, but the Yeye Coffee Shop is great for photos. A little secret: after the scenic area closes, you can drive directly to the coffee shop’s door and it’s 🎫free (on Saturdays and Sundays, the coffee shop may extend its hours depending on customer flow).
