Gao Yiling is not for the faint-hearted, definitely not for those with a fear of heights!!! (Screams like a rooster!!!)

Firstly, it's necessary to marvel at the craftsmanship of nature, the magnificent landscapes of our motherland are truly awesome! Secondly, one must organize their thoughts and be brave. The mountain is really high, the stairs are really steep, but the view is truly spectacular. Mental preparation is also a moment-to-moment affair. ① 【Route】 For the strong: Enter from the North Gate and exit from the South Gate, this way you can circle around the ridge, but it's time-consuming and strenuous. For the lazy: Enter from the West Gate, I heard that motorcycles can take you to the top, recommended for those who are just there to take photos like Liu Yifei. ② 【Price】 Adults 80-98, children, seniors, students 49, prices vary slightly depending on the route. I went on a two-day group tour for 580. Entertainment activities within the scenic area are charged separately. ③ 【Stonehenge】 Right after entering the North Gate, you'll see Stonehenge, which, as the name suggests, is a bunch of huge stones arranged horizontally and vertically, and there's also a hot air balloon ride available, 200+ per person, of course, you can't fly away, it's tethered. ④ After passing Stonehenge and the big lawn, you'll start speed walking, all the while exclaiming 'Wow~', 'Wow, so high', 'Wow, so tiring', 'Wow, so scary'... Although there are railings, they didn't soothe me. ⑤ 【Free Photography】 When you reach the big platform in picture 8, staff will offer free photography, just take the free trinkets and notes they distribute, and you can get a free small photo~ But the photo collection point is still far away! The collection point is probably at the top of the mountain, it seems to be called 'Dragon Ridge Station', a small cabin, with a sign at the door saying 'Photo Collection'. The photo you get is shown in picture 9, if you want a large photo with a frame it's 30, and the QR code at the bottom right can also be used to download a digital version 20, but the digital photo is only saved for 3 days before it's deleted. 6【Entertainment Activities】 Hot air balloon, cliff climbing, cliff swing, hollowed-out suspension bridge, zip line, aerial bike, helicopter, shouting fountain (the water column behind picture ①5) Prices range from 50 to over a thousand, details are not provided. ① If you see the pontoon bridge in picture ①7, it means you've reached the end, after the bridge is the South Gate, the whole journey takes about 3 hours O Little Gao Yiling, conquered! There are restrooms along the way, and a small shop, but it's very expensive~, it's recommended to bring your own food and drinks. The day I went was cloudy turning sunny, which made photography a bit less interesting, but at least it wasn't scorching. There's almost no shade throughout the journey, so be prepared for sun protection, I'd recommend sun protection clothing and a hat over an umbrella, because the wind can pick up at times, causing the umbrella to sway, which can be more frightening, you know what I mean~
