    The scenery deep within Wolong after getting off the shuttle bus is quite nice, especially in autumn. However, if you don't have enough energy or time, there's no need to climb Tenglong Pavilion. The scenery is just average, it's tiring, and it takes about an hour to get there and back.

    Tang City is definitely worth a visit. Be sure to change into a different costume for a more immersive experience. Buying tickets on Ctrip is a great deal, much cheaper than buying them at the store. I recommend buying them in advance on Ctrip; you can enter the park simply by scanning your ID card.

    Everyone is chasing the sunrise at the Golden Summit, but Taoist thought tells me that the most beautiful sunrise will be found where I am at the right time, in the right place, and in the right mood. I happened to see it from the small hilltop east of Nanyan Palace.

    I visited Shennongjia in December. Although it was the off-season and the scenery wasn't as stunning as in autumn and summer, I must say the Shennongjia Scenic Area was truly excellent. A 5-day, 6-attraction combo ticket for only 150 yuan was incredibly reasonable. The accommodations at Muyu and Dajiuhu were both good. The road to Shenlongding was icy and snowy, so I bought snow chains for the first time. I visited Shenlongtan, Guanmenshan, and Dajiuhu once each, but I visited Shenlongding three times because… it was simply too beautiful.

    This is a great place to escape the summer heat. At over 1,300 meters above sea level, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 38 degrees Celsius, while atop it's only 30 degrees Celsius at noon and 20 degrees Celsius at night—very cool. The sun doesn't burn you, so wear sunscreen. If you drive to the north gate, parking is free. The scenic shuttle bus is very convenient and you can take it anywhere, stopping at your destination. Unlike some tourist attractions, where you have to transfer to an electric bus twice after taking the shuttle bus, this one goes all the way to the destination. The glass skywalk and the roller coaster are perfect for young children, but there's no package deal for the glass slide, so I didn't try it. Grass skiing is a downhill ride on a small slide, not on real grass. The deer in the deer park are also adorable, with free-range baby deer. The horseback riding at the stables was okay, and the horses were very docile. Food and drinks are a bit pricey, typical for tourist attractions. The Hawthorn Tree Love is just average; it's just a quick stop, so don't expect too much. This is primarily a summer getaway and a relaxing getaway.

    The ski resort environment is very good, suitable for beginners like us who can't ski. But when buying tickets on Ctrip, snow suits are included. There should be multiple options for tourists to choose without snow suits.

    The navigation to the three parking lots (Ludumen, Liyuanmen, and the Visitor Center) was correct. The bus ticket was 30 yuan, allowing unlimited rides on Line 1 (Visitor Center to Ludumen) and Line 2 (Ludumen to Liyuanmen). The journey time for each line is about half an hour. During the off-season, buses run every half hour; during peak season, the wait time varies. I visited in mid-November, the off-season, and only encountered about ten other tourists during my entire visit. The bus went directly to Ludumen, a winding road in good condition, saving me waiting time, though I spent more on gas, as the Line 2 fare was also 30 yuan. The wait was half an hour, and the ride to Liyuanmen took another half hour; this section was a winding mountain road and difficult to drive on. Then, the road descended along the canyon without any uphill sections, making it not tiring at all. The total distance was ten kilometers, and the visit took four hours. The entire tour, from getting off the bus to getting back on, took five hours.

    The scenery is beautiful, but the restrooms in the scenic area are terrible. Management is inadequate, and the ticket sellers at the windows have poor service. If the restrooms and safety measures in the scenic area could be improved, it would be perfect.
