· Sightseeing bus direct for 1 hour 20 minutes, catch the first bus early! Catch some sleep on the bus, bring raincoat and snacks, weather on the summit changes frequently

2️⃣ ​8:30-9:10 Leidongping → Jieyin Hall​

· 40-minute gentle slope hike, hot drink stalls along the way, buying a cup of ginger tea for kids to warm up is very thoughtful
