The entire ski resort is well-equipped and has a beautiful environment. The staff at the ski resort are attentive and enthusiastic. The buffet in the restaurant has many varieties, including dozens of varieties, as well as beverages, snacks and staple foods. Our family of three ate well. The second floor is a snack bar with fried chicken and drinks. The owner of the fried chicken is nice and enthusiastic. The reception hall on the first floor has brand new ski suits and complete ski equipment. When you get to the ski slope, there are still a lot of people today. Professional security personnel are on site to maintain order. I fell down and someone helped me up. I saw that there are cabins on the ski resort. The scenery is still very good. Although I didn't experience it, I decided to stay in a cabin next time. This skiing was still a good experience. I recommend friends to come and play.

The scenery here is beautiful and worth seeing. You can enjoy the magnificent view of the Qutang Gorge from the high vantage point. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see Baidi City in the distance. The suspension bridge across the river is also very beautiful. The scenic area service is excellent, the sightseeing bus service is convenient and efficient, there is free parking along the way, and they also provide pick-up and drop-off services along the route. Thumbs up! 👍

Perfect place ….. I have wonderful moment here , so impressed.

The park is great! Well maintained and a beautiful place to see nature. I would say, your experience will vary with the weather. For me, it was really foggy and nothing was visible at the top... but still I was able to enjoy the lower area. I think there is beauty in seeing the park with the fog. Many tourists were complaining a lot about not being able to the view from the top. But I think any experience has its great points... you have to adapt to the weather after all.

The least attractive spot among the four scenic spots of Sobulin Stone Forest. If you don't have enough time or energy, you can just ignore this spot. Lotus Village and Qinglong Temple are the highlights.

The tour takes approximately 3.5 hours. From the visitor transfer center, take a sightseeing bus to Tanziling. After descending Tanziling, proceed to the 185 Park, where you can take an electric cart or walk. From the 185 Park, take a sightseeing bus to the Interception Memorial Park. Finally, take a sightseeing bus to the Miniature Landscape Park (the park's exit), concluding the tour.

This down-to-earth experience recreates traditional Tujia customs such as the daughter's festival, the weeping wedding ceremony, and the hand-waving dance. Performers invite tourists to dance and interact, creating a highly engaging experience. Combined with the nighttime scenery of the stilted houses and the ambiance created by the red lanterns, the performance offers excellent value for money. The activities are lighthearted and lively, suitable for all ages, and perfect for family outings.

The scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful, but the trip was too long, and I started to experience visual fatigue towards the end. However, the steps for boarding and disembarking were too steep and inconvenient for me.
