Who says climbing is tiring? After seeing this scenery, I could climb it 10 more times!

Mountaintop Guide: Even a broke person can feel like an immortal! Who says you have to go broke to see the scenery? This guide specializes in curing all kinds of "mountaintop assassins," taking you to flex like a boss with the least amount of money! Transportation: Don't be silly and take the cable car! Locals know that the 5am hiking route is the real MVP! You can watch the sunrise, save 100 RMB, and lose weight at the same time, killing three birds with one stone! (Of course, if you're terminally lazy, pretend I didn't say anything...) Accommodation: Mountaintop hotel? No no no! The farmhouses on the mountainside are the hidden bosses! The price is half as much, and you can eat authentic local dishes. If the owner is happy, they might even give you their own rice wine! (Friendly reminder: Rice wine is good, but don't be greedy, or else tomorrow's climb... you know.) Equipment: Down jacket? Sweater? Are you going hiking or moving? A windproof jacket + a hoodie is enough! Is it windy on the mountaintop? Put a plastic bag over your head, it's windproof and fashionable! (Don't laugh, this is a secret skill of veteran backpackers!) Must-do's on the mountaintop: Sea of clouds check-in: Don't just stand there and make a V sign! Get creative: Pretend you're the Monkey King riding the clouds, or use the sea of clouds as a background to take levitation photos. You'll get hundreds of likes on your social media in minutes! Cliff swing: Not for the faint of heart! But if you're brave enough, the moment you scream on the swing, you're guaranteed to forget all your worries! (Of course, you might also forget who you are...) Stargazing camping: Think tents are too expensive? Rent a sleeping bag and lie on the viewing platform! The starry sky is all yours, romantic and money-saving! (Remember to set an alarm, or you'll be surrounded by tourists the next day...) Foodie Guide: Mountaintop snacks: Don't be fooled by the "mountaintop special"! Roasted sausage, corn, and tea eggs are the way to go, cheap and filling! (Rich people, please feel free, that 50 RMB "fairy-like ice cream" does look pretty good...) Must-eat when going down the mountain: Farmhouse restaurants at the foot of the mountain, local chicken soup, stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, and wild vegetable pancakes, 50 RMB per person to eat until you're full! (Don't ask me how I know, I ate three bowls of rice yesterday...) Hidden menu: Get familiar with the owner, and you might be able to eat a limited edition of wild game! (Of course, it's legal, like wild strawberries, wild mushrooms, etc...) Ultimate money-saving tips: Bring your own food: Bread, biscuits, mineral water, the three-piece set for budget travel is worth it! (Don't bring instant noodles, hot water on the mountaintop is more expensive than gold!) Mooch off a tour guide: The tour guide's explanations are free. Follow them to listen to stories, which can increase your knowledge and save money! (Pay attention to keep your distance, don't be treated as a suspicious person...) Travel off-peak: It's crowded and expensive during the holidays. Take a day off on a weekday to go, and the feeling of having the whole place to yourself is amazing! (If the boss asks, just say you're going to cultivate immortality...) The temperature difference on the mountaintop is large, bring a jacket, don't freeze like a dog! Take away your trash, don't let the immortals think we're uncultured! Safety first, don't risk your life for taking pictures, life is more important than social media! I wish you all a happy trip, save money, and have fun posting on social media! Remember to @ me, so I can travel online too.
