    M43***62M43***62

    The ticket price is 65 yuan, and the parking fee is 10 yuan, a total of 75 yuan. Not only can you see the waterfall, but you can also see caterpillars as big as fists, bees having meetings, and ants moving. This is very cost-effective. What else do you want?

    The scenic area is primarily divided into a canyon tour area, an aerial bus tour area, a cable car, and a glass bridge sightseeing area. The canyon tour area is limited to a 3.6-kilometer one-way walk and lacks numerous waterfall features. The aerial bus experience is average, while the glass bridge experience is quite good, offering aerial views of the Nizhu River Grand Canyon and Beipanjiang River Gorge. Other attractions include via ferrata and bungee jumping. Overall, the scenery is pleasant, but the scenic area's service facilities are incomplete, with unclear entrance signs and directional signs. Many areas are still under construction, impacting the overall experience. Tickets are a bit pricey.

    The scenery is beautiful, but the service is inadequate. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the waiting time for the dispatch bus was long during the National Day holiday. The temperature drops rapidly after 6 pm. Horseback riding and sightseeing buses within the scenic area are at your own expense. If you take children out, remember to wear sunscreen, bring dry food, and warm clothes.

    This time we went there just in time for the flood season, and the water was particularly high. The rafting was stopped, so we could only take a battery car for a round trip, which was 6 kilometers one way. They would stop at the scenic spots in the middle for us to take pictures. The scenery was still good. Next time I have the chance, I must come in the summer to experience rafting.

    Stunning autumn scenery, visually stunning: Kilometers of ginkgo trees form a magnificent golden corridor. The "natural carpet" of fallen leaves, fluttering like golden butterflies in the breeze, elevates the romantic atmosphere of autumn to its peak. Every photo is a cinematic scene, a veritable "photo-taking spot." High photo yield and rich experiences: This place is not only perfect for photography, but also offers a variety of immersive experiences. Take a leisurely stroll, listening to the rustling of fallen leaves; rent a bicycle and journey through the forest in the light and shadow; or simply relax on a bench with a book, basking in the warm autumn sun and enjoying a rare moment of slow urban life. Free admission, excellent value: As a free public landscape, this park offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent autumn scenery, comparable to that of paid tourist attractions, without the need for admission, which undoubtedly adds to its appeal. Its prime location offers a wide range of attractions: Far from being an isolated attraction, it's just a 20-minute drive from the Pearl River Source Scenic Area, making it easy to combine the city's autumn colors with the natural beauty of the karst region into a single day trip, offering a dual experience. In short, if you happen to be in Yunnan or the surrounding area between mid-to-late November and early December, this place is well worth a special trip. Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a couple seeking romance, or just someone seeking a tranquil escape in the city, you'll find captivating moments here, experiencing the poetic feeling of "driving through a painting, wandering through the scenery."
