(Includes admission, boat ticket, Good Fortune Glass Suspension Bridge, Rainbow Glass Plank Road, Step Cloud Glass Viewing Platform, Yong'an Glass Suspension Bridge) First, go to Huilong Lake Pier to take a boat, the staff told us that there is a boat about every half hour, I have posted the time from Lanmen Pier to Ruyi Pier, and the last trip back to Huilong Lake Pier is around five o'clock. The whole journey of Tiger Valley Gorge is stone steps, during the mountain climbing🀄, you can encounter two glass suspension bridges, one glass viewing platform, and one 1⃣️ glass plank road. For those who are faint-hearted, it is recommended to take the stone steps next to you to go up the mountain, which also leads to the next scenic spot. The glass slide down the mountain in the scenic area was closed in July 2021, the reason is not well understood. Tiger Valley Gorge~cruise waterway, surrounded by green mountains, a natural oxygen bar, take deep breaths of negative ions. Summary❤️: Because it's not a holiday, there are very few cars🚗 on the expressway, sometimes only our car. There are also very few tourists in the scenic area, there were about a dozen people who boarded the boat with us, and there was also a dog🐶. There are multiple supermarkets on the mountain🈶, which makes shopping very convenient. The restrooms🚻 are also super clean and sanitary. There are many trees🌳 in the scenic area (even🈶 a maple tree🍁 secretly turned red at the tip), because there are many and dense trees🌳, it is not hot at all when climbing, and the view from each viewing platform is different. It also rained today, and the air after the rain is even fresher, breathing is thorough! In the evening, we stayed in a caravan town not too far from the Tiger Valley Gorge scenic area.

The best time to view the red leaves is in mid-October, when it will definitely be beautiful.
