If you have purchased your tickets online, remember to exchange them for paper tickets at the visitor center before you can enter.

Go straight after the entrance and you will reach Gukou Square, where you can watch high-altitude tightrope acrobatics performances. The high-altitude performances are held at 10:30 am every day, and at 13:00, 14:30, 16:00, and 17:30 every afternoon. I arrived at 2:30 pm and just caught up with the start of the performance.
The scenic area has planned several different tour routes according to different crossing difficulties, physical requirements and landscape values. You can get a map at the visitor center, or take a photo and view it at any time:
【Complete Crossing Tour 1】About 5 km, 3-4 hours
【Complete Crossing Tour 2】About 4 km, 2.5-3 hours (Sky Ladder)
[Small Crossing Tour] About 2 km, 2.5 hours (Sky Ladder)
【Gu Mian Leisure Tour 1】About 2 km, duration 1 hour
【Gu Mian Leisure Tour 2】About 1 km, duration 0.5 hours

I wanted to challenge the Ladder to Heaven, so I chose the [Complete Crossing Tour 2] route, which took exactly three hours.
Climbing a mountain is to go up first and then down, while crossing a canyon is to go down first and then up. The ladder to heaven is actually not that bad. After taking a break when you are tired, you can reach the surface of the valley quickly, and feel a great sense of accomplishment. It’s much easier than going down to the bottom of the valley, because the steps are higher. My legs were shaking when I was going down to the bottom of the valley. [Facepalm][Facepalm][Facepalm]
There are many scenic spots on the way, including Fairy Pond, Peach Blossom Pond, Mandarin Duck Pond, Panlong Pond, Yellow Dragon Pond, and Tenglong Pond. The water is particularly green. It is much more interesting to stop and take pictures while walking, which is much more interesting than ordinary mountain climbing. It is worth coming.
There is a best viewing platform on the valley surface, but I accidentally missed it [Cry] It is the best place to take pictures of the waterfall. It will be more spectacular if you come here during the flood season.
