📷Photo Spots
✅Piano Floating Island🎹:Just like Laputa: Castle in the Sky, there is a floating island at the other end of the clouds. (There might be a queue for photos, but it's definitely worth it. The pictures turn out amazing.)
✅Sky Mirror🪞:You can see the sea of clouds and the reservoir. A huge mirrored platform offers double the view of the sky and clouds.
✅Robot🤖️:The robot🤖️is on the way to the Sky Mirror. It's suitable for taking photos from a distance, and the pictures are quite impressive.
✅Fairytale Train🚂:The train is at the top of the mountain. You need to climb some stairs to get there. It's like a fairytale train coming to life. You can take pictures inside the train or along the tracks.

58/person
💗Other Tips:
✔️Tip 1:
For the best photos, avoid cloudy days. Sunny days are better, and it's even more stunning if there's a sea of clouds!
✔️Tip 2:
The sea of clouds is most likely to appear after a rainy day followed by a sunny day, especially before sunrise. So, it's recommended to stay overnight on the mountain.
✔️Tip 3:
The altitude here is about 700 meters. There's a large temperature difference between day and night, and it can be windy sometimes. Be sure to dress warmly and protect yourself from the wind.
✔️Tip 4:
There are barbecue, hot pot, coffee, and snacks available at the top of the mountain. No need to worry about food. Enjoying barbecue and tea while watching the sunset on the hillside is an amazing experience.
