Show More ReviewsThe staff were very friendly. We opted for a combination of cable car, sightseeing bus, and hiking at the top. The hiking part was the worst; altitude sickness made us so tired we couldn't walk at all, so we gave up early. However, the Five-Colored Pool was truly beautiful. Once there, you have to walk almost a full circle around the five-colored stones to experience its beauty from different angles (according to the staff, but I was just too exhausted). I asked how long the sightseeing bus ride to the Five-Colored Pool was (800 meters), and it turned out to be 800 meters as the crow flies. I felt like I walked 8 kilometers! Exhausted (literally).
