Photography Tips - You can enter the scenic area at 5:30 am to wait for the sea of clouds and sunrise at Guanyun Pavilion. However, you cannot see the sunrise at this spot, and you need to wait until around 8:00 am for the sunlight to shine on the terraced fields. - The main shooting spots are concentrated in the first half of the scenic area, so you can consider returning halfway. Travel Tips - Some stone steps in the scenic area are very steep, so we recommend wearing comfortable sports shoes. - Bring enough water and snacks, as there are few convenience stores in the scenic area. - Pay attention to the weather. The sea of clouds and waterfalls after the rain are very spectacular, but the rain and fog may affect the view, so you need to be patient.
