🗺Tour time & route:
Officially there are 5 recommended routes, my side recommend 2 based on my own experience of playing.
1️⃣Easy tour (3h): the whole ride scenic spot sightseeing bus, play 6 big attractions (recommended attractions: xiangu waterfall, xiangu big lawn, ancient kiln punch)
2️⃣ waterfall sightseeing line (4-5h): Xiangu Waterfall + Jiulong Waterfall + Guyaochong
First take the sightseeing bus directly to the last stop [Xiangu Waterfall] and follow the road signs to the waterfall attractions. Then take the bus to [Xiangu Great Lawn] and follow the signs to Jiulong Gorge, see the waterfalls and then return to the bus stop and take the bus to [Guyaochong], follow the signs to Penma Waterfalls and return.
❇Tips:
1️⃣ 【Guyaochong】to see the wild macaque monkeys, hello quite cute but the place to feed the monkeys is quite smelly....Also be careful not to feed the monkeys with your own snacks in your bag, they are quite bold and may come to take out your bag.
2️⃣ Jiu Tian Waterfall is more worth taking pictures of, Xian Gu Waterfall is usually more people do not need to stay too long.
