Bring some small bread pieces to feed the little fish in the creek. 🐒 Monkey Mountain: There really are many monkeys, though sometimes you might not see them. You can feed them, but be sure to store your fruit securely as monkeys will snatch it. 🪨 Dengying Stone: A uniquely shaped rock resembling the four pilgrims from Journey to the West. You can take the cable car to the mountaintop to view the Yangtze’s first bend, Mingyue Bay. The name comes from the moonlight shining down on a clear night, making the river’s big bend look like a bright moon. 💺 Seat selection tips ▪ First-class seats (144 seats): Best view, perfect for photographers ▪ Premium seats (136 seats): Best value for money ▪ Second-class seats (480 seats): Budget-friendly, still good for deck photos ❣️ Must-bring checklist • ID card!
