📍Baijian Mountain It's a pretty off-the-beaten-path scenic spot with few tourists You can drive directly to the top of the mountain by car⛰️ There are two ways up the mountain. You need to navigate the main road, otherwise you will be persuaded to return the same way like us, two minutes away from the top of the mountain, and then go down the mountain and go up again (this point really affects the mood, there is no road sign prompt before going up the mountain🔔) Except for this point, the scenery is very good after arriving It will look better in a few days with red leaves🍁 There are also drama performances these days🎤 .
