    The total cost for the ticket, sightseeing bus, cable car, and two-story elevator is 330 yuan. Although it's not cheap, it allows for an easy climb. The route is clear and well-planned, and the facilities are complete, making it all worth the price.

    This is a very interesting scenic spot, representing one of the most representative areas of Danxia landforms. It's worth a visit, with beautiful views by land, water, and air. However, the scenic area is not very well developed, resulting in low visitor numbers. The climb is quite challenging, making it unsuitable for the elderly and children. Transportation and value for money are also not ideal.

    Hidden in the southern mountains, this hidden gem is absolutely stunning! At an altitude of 1314 meters, the Yangtianhu Grassland boasts lush green grass carpeting the mountainsides, crystal-clear lake reflecting pristine white windmills, and a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees—instantly soothing all fatigue. The Hobbit-style cottages exude a fairytale charm, while the adorable deer in the petting zoo are gentle and friendly. A stroll through the meadow yields countless beautiful photos. With an average summer temperature of 20°C, it's pleasantly cool. Camping at night offers the chance to encounter a sky full of stars, providing unparalleled tranquility away from the city's hustle and bustle. Perfect for quiet solitude or simply relaxing and breathing in the fresh air.

    Lianzhou Underground River truly lives up to its title as the "King of Karst Caves in Lingnan"—the experience is fantastic! A 1500-meter underground river winds its way through four mountain peaks. The geological wonders in scenic areas like the "Fairy Field Square" are breathtaking. The 47.8-meter-high cave dome and 53.6-meter-wide stalactite formations are a testament to nature's artistry. The cave maintains a comfortable, constant temperature, is packed with negative ions, and even boasts a community of Ganoderma lucidum, a national first-class protected plant. A 400-meter boat ride on the underground river, enhanced by sound and light effects, and the newly added AR geological science guide system, are the icing on the cake! Lianzhou Underground River is definitely worth visiting again and again!

    The experience was great. It was the first time I'd ever seen wisps of mist rising from the lake. The tangerines from Dongjiang Lake are a must-try; they're delicious. I bought a small amount for 3 yuan per jin (500g) on-site, but they were around 10 yuan on Pinduoduo. A must-try! The karst caves on the island are also quite spectacular.

    Gaoyiling, a place whose true beauty speaks for itself! I dare say, once you've seen it, the magnificent panorama of red cliffs, emerald waters, and crimson clouds will undoubtedly become the most stunning cover image in your phone's photo album. This isn't the gentle water towns of Jiangnan, but a wonderland where the ruggedness and colors of the earth are magnified infinitely. Walking along the "Dragon's Backbone," with bare, continuous mountain ridges beneath your feet and steep cliffs and emerald lakes on either side, every step feels like strolling on clouds, your heart pounding with the breathtaking scenery. The steps of the Sky Ladder may be physically demanding, but as you conquer them, the breathtaking panorama before you instantly washes away all fatigue. The suspended walkway (if open) offers an exceptional vantage point, allowing you to embrace this masterpiece of nature from every angle. It's also worth mentioning that the experiences offered here are quite abundant. Whether you're looking for thrills like Via Ferrata climbing and ziplining, or a more leisurely experience with the cliff swing and cloud mirror viewing platform, there's something for everyone. I personally tried the ziplining; the speed and exhilaration of plunging down from the heights, combined with the breathtaking mountain scenery, are definitely worth the experience! The only downside might be the intense sun! The entire scenic area offers virtually no shade, so sun protection is essential. Hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing are indispensable, and it's best to avoid the midday sun. Overall, Gaoyiling is the kind of top-tier geological wonder you absolutely can't miss if you're already there. It may not have many recreational facilities, but its pristine, wild, and magnificent beauty is enough to let you feel the purest power of nature. I highly recommend it to all nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. Trust me, it will become one of the most unforgettable spots on your trip.

    The air was fresh, and many locals went to fetch water. You can take an electric cart all the way up the mountain, but to see the waterfall you need to climb up yourself. There are also food options inside the scenic area, and the electric cart service is quite good. The only downside is that the entrance fee seems a bit expensive.

    Yuexiu Park, located on Jiefang North Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, is the largest comprehensive park in Guangzhou and a 4A-level scenic spot. It is known as Guangzhou's "green lung" and "Pearl of the City." It is not only a top choice for citizens' leisure and entertainment, but also a popular tourist destination for visitors, featuring famous attractions such as the Five Rams Statue, Zhenhai Tower, and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Monument. It's well worth a leisurely visit.

    Exceptional encounter! The diversity of aquatic fauna is breathtaking, and the establishment is impeccably clean and carefully preserved. Certainly justifies the admission cost if you happen to be nearby. The Mermaid spectacle was unparalleled..
