⚠️Hard-Earned Tips

❗️Clothing: Short sleeves + sun protection during the day, add a windbreaker in the evening (sudden rain and temperature drop in mountains)
❗️Sun Protection: Sunglasses + hat + SPF50+! UV rays can peel your skin in minutes
❗️Transportation: Charter car > self-driving (many mountain roads), Duku Highway limits vehicles to under 7 seats
❗️Avoid Pitfalls: Negotiate horse riding prices on the grassland first! Avoid “charged by the minute” traps
