Ticket purchase is convenient and easy to use. I recommend buying it. The scenery of Bingyu Valley is indeed worth a visit. If you don't have the opportunity to go to Guilin, you can come here to experience the Little Guilin in the north. I went there with my friends at the end of August. The temperature was just right and it was very pleasant to take a boat tour.

It is a very worthwhile place to visit. The maple leaves are very red and the photos taken are very beautiful. The driver of the sightseeing bus is a local and speaks very kindly. He explained to us very friendly along the way. The mountain road is basically easy to walk, but the last 10 minutes of the road is steeper.

There weren't many people during the holiday, so it was a great time to take the kids hiking and breathe some fresh air! There was a stall on the way up the mountain selling freshly squeezed watermelon and orange juice, made without adding a drop of water—it was delicious and reasonably priced.

A pretty good hot spring. Not too many people in this season. The price/performance ratio is OK. Near Bingyu Valley in Buyun Mountain, there is another option for sightseeing. The hot spring also has accommodation, and there are quite a lot of rooms.
