📷 Recommended photo spots:
❶ Sarang Dance Party on the mountain top
Stand on the stone steps to the right of the square, frame the dancing crowd, bonfire, and Qiang watchtowers behind! Super atmospheric
➋ Lover’s Bridge
Stand in the middle of the bridge, have a friend shoot from the bridgehead, with the canyon, blue sky, and white clouds… the visual impact is amazing
➌ Cloud Farm
The cloud ladder 🪜 is so stunning… like a fairy tale world
➍ Ape King Cave
Marvel at nature’s craftsmanship
➎ Rainbow Staircase
A very beautiful photo spot! Drone shots are breathtaking…
➏ Sacred Forest
Deep in the woods under old trees, shoot upwards capturing branches twisting against the blue sky, the breeze adds a great vibe
➐ Guanyin Cliff
Walk up the stone steps by the cliff, side shot of the Guanyin statue with mountain views, even casual phone shots look great!
➑ Glass Bridge
Stand in the middle of the glass bridge, low-angle shots of the bridge suspended over the sea of clouds are so soothing

💕 Travel tips
✔️ Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking! Some sections have steps, avoid white sneakers (they get dirty and slippery)
✔️ There’s a big temperature difference between morning and evening on the mountain, remember to bring a light jacket
