🧗After climbing the mountain, taking a bath in a private hot spring must be very refreshing. The B&B is located on Yaowang Valley Mountain, 1,450 meters above sea level. Enjoy an extraordinary experience.
🌟Warm tip:
1. Parking is convenient but there is a fee. Pay attention to safety on the winding mountain road. The whole journey is 10km, with a climb and descent of 650m. It is quite tiring to walk.
2. There are many thorny plants on the climbing section, remember to wear thorn-proof clothing and gloves to avoid mosquito bites
3. Prepare offline maps in advance to avoid getting lost
