Little Tips:
1️⃣The mountain roads are mostly steep dirt roads, bumpy and difficult to navigate, and with a steep gradient, it is recommended to definitely use a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle.
2️⃣Sometimes the iron gates are locked and won't let you in, possibly due to weather reasons or uncertain factors such as road collapse, be mentally prepared.
3️⃣Be sure to take care of the environment, as it is an undeveloped scenic area, do not litter, leave only footprints.
