    Actually, the walk was quite quick, only two hours, mainly because I didn't take any personal photos. It feels even more beautiful in summer; now only withered lotus leaves remain. The morning air was nice and beautiful. A stroll around was very pleasant. After 9:30, the crowds increase dramatically; there are still quite a few people. It's still worth a visit. Some people like walking on the stone paths, while others find them uncomfortable.

    The entire scenic area felt incredibly hot. We took the sightseeing bus and got off at the first stop, then hiked up to the Hot Sea Boiling Pot. The scenery along the way was fantastic; I recommend hiking this part of the trail yourself, as it's not particularly tiring.

    There wasn't much to see inside besides the hot air balloons, so I didn't ride any. Instead, I climbed 597 steps to the top of Dakong Mountain and then took a full-range hot air balloon ride. Apparently, you can see the crater from the balloons, but it looked quite far away. The ride around was pretty quick. It was alright.

    Whether it's the vast wetland, the rolling mountain backdrop, the distinctive grassy rafts, or the ever-changing flowers, plants, and birds, it's easy to capture stunning photos. The light and shadow effects are especially stunning at sunset. The ecological environment is excellent, and the air is fresh. As a national wetland reserve, the air is fresh, the views are expansive, and it's truly refreshing. Strolling along the wooden boardwalk, away from the hustle and bustle, is a wonderful way to relax.

    Winter is a great time to visit, for its natural beauty and pastoral charm. After entering, turn left. Don't go to the Ginkgo King immediately; it's too crowded and noisy. Instead, wander freely through the vast villages, letting your imagination run wild and finding peace in the moment. The beauty of the ginkgo trees is just beginning, slowly unfolding their splendor.

    The hot spring area isn't very large, with indoor pools (each with a separate fee), outdoor pools, and an outdoor pool. The water is very smooth, the hygiene is acceptable, and the service is good. It's primarily known for its high cost-performance ratio. It's more convenient to get there by car. We took a taxi, and when we left, we had to wait a long time to get one.

    Very good experience. The environment is very good. The staff is also very responsible and very patient. This is the best hot spring I have ever been to. The receptionist at the front desk is also very good. Overall, I had a very happy time.

    It's a short walk from the National Cemetery. It's a great and rare sight to see a waterfall in the city. Once you enter, you're above the waterfall and can walk down to the bottom.

    When the weather is clear, it is worth a visit. You can take a photo without filters and you can get a great movie. It is best to drive by yourself. The waiting time for the sightseeing bus is a bit long. It may be because it is the off-season and there are fewer sightseeing buses.

    We visited Yunfeng Mountain in the afternoon of October 3, 2025. We still had to buy an electric car and a cable car, so we could save our energy for the final climb. The climb was generally okay, though the last two sections looked a bit steep, but the climb itself was actually okay. If you're into Taoism, you can make a wish, which is said to be very effective. The air on the mountain is really good, with natural negative ions. It's worth a visit.
