⚠️ Safety Guide
▫️ Mountain roads so narrow you’ll doubt life, SUV + experienced driver recommended
▫️ 15-minute drive between spots, but GPS often fails, follow the cultural heritage staff’s directions closely
▫️ Bring snacks! Only small shops around the scenic area
▫️ Wear non-slip shoes on rainy days, moss + stone steps = giant slippery slide scene
