The underground canyon is quite beautiful. It's the first time I've seen a scenic area of this style, especially rare in the north. It's worth a visit. There's a lot of walking inside, the ticket price isn't cheap, and there's a separate charge for shuttle buses.

Super easy to climb!
It's great for both experienced hikers and those with less stamina. My parents took the cable car and bus, while I took the bus and climbed. Everyone was happy!
The only downside is that going too early can result in fog. If it's not a holiday, don't go too early; consider going after 9:00 AM. Once you're on the mountain, the fog will start to dissipate after 12:00 PM.

Absolutely stunning! The spring water is crystal clear, gurgling gently. It's chrysanthemum season now, and the chrysanthemums in the park are meticulously arranged by gardeners, shimmering with light.
The park staff work very hard to maintain cleanliness. It's heartbreaking to see visitors spitting, smoking, feeding the fish with their own food, and carelessly littering. I suggest the park staff clean up naturally fallen leaves, and there should be penalties for those who create litter!

The hotel staff were all very friendly and the environment was fantastic. We could easily visit the old town countless times a day, making it especially suitable for families with children and elderly members. The value for money was excellent, especially the receptionists – a huge thumbs up! 👍 The shows in the old town were wonderful, especially the water show – don't miss it! I personally think it's even better than the National Show!
