1. Wear comfortable flat shoes! The scenic area has many steps; high heels will tire you out. For those wearing Hanfu, embroidered shoes are both beautiful and comfortable~

2. Bring mosquito repellent and a sun hat! There are many mosquitoes in the summer mountains, even in the shade. A sun hat protects from the sun and can be used as a photo prop~

3. Respect the scenic area rules! Touching stone tablets inside cultural relics like the Drunken Pavilion is prohibited. Don’t use flash when taking photos to protect cultural heritage~

4. Visit during off-peak times for a better experience! Weekends and holidays are busier. It’s recommended to go on weekdays to avoid waiting for photos and enjoy a more relaxed visit~

5. Check the weather in advance! Mountain paths are slippery when rainy—wear non-slip shoes. On sunny days, UV rays are strong—remember to apply sunscreen to avoid sunburn~
