It is recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks on the way. 4️⃣ About camping and accommodation: There are camping sites inside the scenic area, with tents and yurts available. 5️⃣ About route matching🏕️: For a one-day tour, after visiting the Hanging Wall Road and Yaoping Hydropower in the morning, there are two close options for the remaining half day: 【Moon Cave Scenic Area】 and 【Tianpeng Mountain Village】. Moon Cave is mainly a karst cave. If you have already seen the Zhashui Karst Cave and Wangchuan Karst Cave, you can skip Moon Cave because the cave scenery is similar, and this scenic area is crowded and prone to traffic jams. Therefore, the mountain scenery of 【Tianpeng Mountain Village】 is more distinctive, with a wide expanse of green, making it more comfortable and free.
