[RollerCoaster] Play Suggestions Baishuitai requires climbing stairs for about 20 minutes to reach the mountain. If you don't want to climb, you can ride a horse to the top of the mountain. Going up and down the mountain is a loop, so there is no need to go back the same way. There is a viewing platform up the mountain, where you can see the entire Baishuitai.

[Scenic] Play suggestions: 1️⃣Best travel time: May to October every year, when the climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. 2️⃣ Check the weather in advance. Sunny days are really stunning and no filter is needed at all. 3️⃣Don’t wear your own shoes. After walking down the mountain, there will be white mud.
