It has a certain degree of climbing difficulty and requires a whole day. ☑️ The scenic area is very large, with several kilometers between each attraction. After entering the park gate, you still need to drive several kilometers to reach Shimen Xiangxue. It is recommended to drive through the forest. ☑️ It is only a few hundred meters walk from Shimen Xiangxue to Peach Blossom Spring. Many people fish and trace streams here, and there are also camping and picnic spots. If you don't have fishing tools, they are sold nearby (20 RMB for a net and a small bucket, the quality is average, it is recommended to bring your own). ☑️ It is recommended to bring a pair of stream tracing shoes. You can trace streams and fish during the hike, which is very interesting. Most places where you can get into the water have moss and are very slippery. Without stream tracing shoes, it is easy to slip. ☑️ There are many shops in the park selling drinks, tofu pudding, jelly, and snacks, so you don't need to bring your own water and food.
