🎫 Must-Try Experiences in the Scenic Area
☁️ Liuyun Ridge on Hundred-Mile Sky Road: Marvel at the spectacular sea of clouds and the winding road, a fairy-tale-like treasure for cloud-watching and road photography.

🌲 Qiansongba: Immerse yourself in a hiking adventure through pristine spruce and birch forests, spot grassland black squirrels, and enjoy the harmony of wetland flowers and wildlife. Discover the "Three Rings, Two Lakes, Twelve Scenes" of a Jiangnan-like wonder beyond the Great Wall, blending forest exploration with road-trip thrills!

🏔️ Rentoudui Wetland: Stroll along wooden boardwalks through natural wetland flower fields, observe hundreds of wildflowers and rare birds up close, and capture the poetic beauty of golden lotus seas and grazing livestock.

✨ Tips
For women: Red/white dresses, denim outfits, floral skirts, or camping-style outfits work well. Bring warm clothes for the significant temperature drop at night.
Props: Sunglasses, balloons, tents, and picnic mats are great for atmospheric shots. Camp under the stars at night, with the soft morning/evening light being the most photogenic.

🈺 A 5-month viewing season awaits! One ticket grants access to all attractions (including Qiansongba National Forest Park). Experience "four seasons in a day, varied scenery across a hundred miles"—a budget-friendly destination for families and friends!
