(2)The temperature difference between morning and evening in the scenic area is big. Clothes should be prepared in advance. It is best to wear sneakers.
(3)In the dry season (November to March)
(5)Make a rough itinerary before you leave, because it's easy to book a hotel or you won't know where to stay, especially in the peak season, when there are no more rooms booked on a temporary basis, and there are so many people.
