Just came out from Gaoyiling, with the hot-off-the-press lightning protection notice

📹 Only for sharing, please do not overinterpret, everyone has their preferred routes. Due to the next part of our journey, we didn't have much time. We drove from Changsha to Gaoyiling and parked our car at the Gaoyiling Scenic Area North Gate parking lot 🅿️ There will be some aunties wearing hats there who will persistently mislead you, saying that there is a shuttle bus that can take you directly from the top of the mountain for 40 yuan per person. They will claim that you can't hail a taxi here, and even if you do, the taxi drivers won't know how to get up there, whereas the shuttle bus (private car) drivers know the route well, and they will mention a long stretch of mountain road. Don't listen to their nonsense! The so-called shuttle bus they mentioned is actually just a one-way trip from the North Gate to the West Gate entrance.！！ North Gate parking lot 🅿️ The distance to the West Gate is less than 2 kilometers! I directly hailed a ride on Amap for only ten yuan! From the West Gate, there are motorcycles 🛵, and you can choose whether to take one or not. There's about a ten-minute journey on flat ground, and if you choose the motorcycle, it costs 10 yuan per person to be taken to the starting point of the scenic spots. It takes about two and a half hours to play all the way to the North Gate, just enough time to see all the sights in one go. It's a bit tiring but manageable. If you enter from the South Gate or North Gate (which are very close to each other), it might not be so easy to hail a taxi from the West Gate. But walking from the South or North Gate to the scenic spots and back again is too tiring. In my opinion, the best way is to start from the West Gate and then slowly walk to the South or North Gate to exit～ Don't believe the aunties in the scenic area, there is no such thing as a shuttle bus, it's all stairs and handrails, impossible for cars to get in～ ✅Important notes: Suggestions: Bring sunglasses, a sun hat (the wind is particularly strong, and it's inconvenient to use an umbrella), sunscreen, wear comfortable shoes, water, and the water inside the scenic area is expensive.
