It was so easy to use this, theres no need to exchange to physical ticket. You just straight need to scan it. So if you are want to go to yulong snow mountain, you need to make sure the weather it is good. The crowd in yulong mountain is really packed and always packed, i go there not in a holiday season but in the weekend.
The pick-up point will be determined by your hotel, and you'll be informed of your availability based on your Glacier Cableway reservation time.
The safety education stop upon entering the scenic area was a bit lengthy.

It was quite astonishing, a truly unforgettable sight. The temperature inside the Stone Forest wasn't very high, especially in September, when the weather wasn't too hot. It wasn't at all hot to enjoy the beauty of the Stone Forest.
Viewing the Stone Forest from a high vantage point offers a truly unique experience.
[Scenery]
It is a top-level intangible cultural heritage that is well worth visiting. The typical naturally formed karst landform is strange and mysterious, especially Jianfeng Pool (take a walk on the plank road, the rocks are rugged and mysterious) and Youlan Valley (the malachite and turtle stone are very realistic). Maybe the tour guide will not take you there, but that is the essence.

Dianchi Lake, the birthplace of the ancient Dian Kingdom, has been a vibrant cultural hub for thousands of years and boasts a rich history. Nestled alongside the Xishan Mountains, Dianchi Lake boasts abundant natural resources and breathtaking scenery. The surrounding Daguan Park (Daguan Tower), Haigeng Park, Xishan Scenic Area (Longmen), and numerous wetland parks offer excellent recreational opportunities. However, the entire Dianchi Lake is surrounded by a circuit, making it difficult to reach the lake's edge for scenic views.
It would have been quite convenient to walk from Gantong to Xima Cao and then pay the 50 yuan per person difference to take the cable car down the mountain, but now you have to climb 1,200 steps to get to Xima Cao, which is a bummer. They are currently building another staircase or elevator nearby, so it may be improved in the future.

Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of China's deepest and most precipitous canyons, is renowned for its majestic natural scenery and world-class hiking routes. Formed by the Jinsha River's dramatic drop between the Haba and Jade Dragon Snow Mountains, the gorge is truly breathtaking, with its thunderous waves and roaring ripples across the valley.
The scenic area is well developed and the scenery is great. The viewing platform is the most valuable place to see the Jinsha River. However, there are almost no viewing platforms along the way. If you want to take pictures, people will get stuck together. Many of the scenery is very beautiful. I hope the scenic area will add a few more viewing platforms.

It's worth a visit. The various ethnic performances were very exciting. It was just raining when I went there, so many programs were cancelled. The travel photography was terrible. It was the worst travel photography I've ever had in so many places. I just followed the photos near a scenic spot. The experience was poor, and the photos were not good at all. I paid for it and that was it. It really hurt the score of the scenic spot.
I bought the night show and entered the park at 5:30 pm. The battery-powered bicycles were all off duty. A few villages were open, but it was a bit deserted and the show was a bit boring. It might be because there were too few people. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures and checking in. I don't recommend it if you want to learn about ethnic minorities. It takes a long time to walk out of the commercial area...

The scenery is really beautiful, but there are too many people queuing for the cable car during the peak tourist season. The one-way trip takes about 10 minutes. You can also see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake from a high point.
The environment is good, the air is fresh, and it is a holy place for oxygen absorption. However, the waiting time for the Gantong Cableway is too long. The queue is nearly 3 hours, and the cable car is only a few minutes. The Gantong Line, the Zhenlong Chess Game and the viewing platform are very average and not up to expectations. The Jade Belt Road is very quiet and at an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, there is no discomfort and children can also walk

In one word: It's incredibly beautiful!
How can the water of Lugu Lake be so clean? What does 12-meter visibility even mean? It's hard to imagine unless you go and see it!
Buy tickets online and check in at the entrance.
Tickets are based on the number of times you visit, not the number of days (no need to buy a new ticket if you're staying in the scenic area and don't leave).
This was my second time staying at the Shilok Hotel this year. The first time was recommended by a friend, and this time I recommended it to my friend. The service was as good as always, with exquisite afternoon tea (picture 4), a variety of activities (picture 9, bonfire party), and breathtaking scenery (sunrise and sunset). Highly recommended!

The place is huge with many temples along with the three pagodas. I recommend booking the sightseeing bus to travel up the hill. You can choose to return with the sightseeing bus or walk downhill. It’s very clean and well maintained. Just amazing how well preserved everything is and in such good condition after so many years. The place is very tourist friendly and has introductions in English. We visited during the off-peak season and had some of the temples all to ourselves - got the chance to really soak in the history and scenery. Also a great photo opportunity! There was slight rain shower however as Maldivians, we are used to it and did not bother us or ruin our visit at all. We were expecting and prepared with umbrellas! It was beautiful and definitely worthwhile.
🏯 Three Pagodas Park — величественно, спокойно, незабываемо!Посетили с женой — и остались под впечатлением от масштаба и гармонии. Главные пагоды стоят уже более тысячи лет, горы на фоне, зеркальное озеро… Фото получаются как открытки 📸Парк ухоженный, тихий, идеально для неспешной прогулки. Особенно красиво утром — меньше людей, мягкий свет, полное ощущение уединения с природой и историей.Обязательно возьмите аудиогид — истории о пагодах добавляют глубины впечатлениям. И не забудьте сделать фото отражения пагод в воде — это must-have кадр!—#崇圣寺三塔 #大理必去 #云南旅行 #文化古迹 #情侣出游 推荐 #中国古建筑 #静谧之美 #历史与自然 #旅行回忆

My friend said that this ancient town is very beautiful, and I think it is beautiful too, but I think the only drawback is that it lacks fun. Overall, it is not so commercial, but it is still worth visiting. The visiting time is about 4 hours.
Heshun Ancient Town is a remote, border town gently embraced by time. Free from over-commercialization, it embodies the daily life of its indigenous inhabitants, the echoes of its bluestone pavements, and its rich cultural heritage. Early morning and evening are the best times to experience Heshun Ancient Town, its most captivating moments. In the morning, the cobblestone pavements are wet with dew, the alleys are filled with the aroma of breakfast, and the market is filled with the bustling atmosphere. In the evening, the setting sun bathes the ancient town in a golden glow, creating a truly captivating scene.

I really enjoyed coming here with my mom and husband. We were able to see the animals up close while still feeling safe, which was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the panda area, as it wasn't as engaging as I had hoped, but overall it was still a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t mind coming back again next time. Highly recommended!
