Night tour of Dayang Mountain, Qionglou Flower Moon Night||🏕Attraction Play: I haven't toured Dayang Mountain during the day🌄, but I did a night🌃 tour first, so I didn't pay much attention to the plants🌵. This time, the goal was very clear, which was to see the lanterns🏮. The place is really big. I originally thought the lantern🏮 display was only at the entrance, but the further I went in, the more lantern🏮 styles there were, and the more spectacular they became. When buying tickets, I saw that it also included a performance, but we were so focused on looking at the lanterns🏮 that we didn't find out where the performance was, so we missed it, which is a bit of a pity.😌😌 There are many exquisite lanterns🏮 suitable for taking photos, but due to the lighting, it is more recommended to only take pictures of the lanterns or backlit photos. 🎱Facilities: We also visited the two 'eggs' of Dayang Mountain, which are actually two themed plant🌵 exhibition areas, one with a desert🏜 theme and the other with a tropical rainforest theme. The 'eggs' are air-conditioned, which is really comfortable compared to the stuffy and hot outside, making us not want to leave😂😂 🚗Transportation: Since it was a night tour🌃, the bus🚌 to Dayang Mountain might not be very convenient, so it is more recommended to drive🚗. There are parking lots nearby, or you can park directly on the roadside, which is relatively convenient. The prices💰 in the scenic area are reasonable, but it is only recommended to buy some water💧, and snacks are not recommended🙅‍♂️!
