The park is 25.79 square kilometers, twice as big as the Garden Mountain Scenic Area that I went to before, and it's not enough to seriously stroll around for a day.‼️ The park is hilly and rolling, and the shade is dense and not too sunny 🌞, with a ring road of 27.8km, and hiking and walking paths of 40km, which allows you to come over to climb the mountain, hike, and ride. At the foot of the mountain, there are large lawns, streams, lakes, pink paper fans, cedars, etc., a good place to take pictures and walk your children.
