Navigation: Luji Theme Park. Yunxiang Mountain and Luji are the same place. From the hotel, it’s about a 15-minute drive or taxi ride, approximately 7 km away. 2. Transportation: Driving or taking a taxi is recommended. Riding a small electric scooter is not advised due to the uphill terrain; it might struggle to carry two people. However, if the battery is strong, riding can be an option, but safety precautions are necessary as there are many vehicles on the road. 3. Timing: The best time to visit is during sunset when the sky turns a stunning shade of orange-red, creating a breathtaking view that’s truly mesmerizing. 4. Tickets: Admission is free. 5. Weather: Choose suitable weather for your visit. Dali’s weather is unpredictable, so it’s recommended to bring rain gear and sun protection. The mountain is windy, so consider bringing a hat or shawl for photos. 6. Food and Drinks: There are food vendors on the mountain offering barbecue and coffee, though prices are relatively high. It’s better to bring some fruits and snacks beforehand, but remember not to litter. 7. Resting Spots: Luji Theme Park offers resting areas. You can also check out 2188 Sunset Restaurant, Cliff Chapel, and Mystery Mountain Coffee, which are great for photos. (2188 Sunset Restaurant has clean restrooms.) 8. Tips: Pay attention to weather changes. Protect the environment. Avoid wearing high heels as Yunxiang Mountain has many grassy areas.
