The lights of the stilted houses on the cliff face illuminate the mountainside, and the reflections in the stream create a truly immersive fantasy atmosphere. The best spots for taking photos are the Moon-Viewing Bridge, the Hundred-Goose Bridge, and the Cliff Library.

I thought it would be less crowded on a weekday, especially since it's the off-season, but it was still packed with people. The blue sky and colorful autumn harvest decorations made for a beautiful scene. The parking lots at Wangxian Valley and Huangling were both large and free, which was very convenient for tourists. However, the ticket prices were a bit expensive.

The scenery was beautiful; I visited a few years ago and had a great impression, so I brought my husband here again from out of town today. But it was a huge disappointment! We waited over two hours to get a number and queue for the cable car up the mountain; then another two and a half hours for the cable car down. We rushed through the small loop on the mountain. If you're planning to come here, be sure to arrive early and descend early to avoid taking the cable car in the dark or driving out of the scenic area after dark – it's a safety concern! 😟

Stepping inside is a refreshing experience, as if you've traveled back to ancient times. The young ladies and gentlemen are dressed in all sorts of beautiful costumes! There are so many performances and shows, and the snacks are so delicious you'll want to come back again and again. The environment is better than expected, and the place is quite clean.

When I went, the weather was bad and it was raining. The science museum was also closed. The core scenic area is not big and you can walk through it in a short time. If you are driving, you can also enjoy the lake view nearby.

The combination of cable car up, sightseeing bus, and hiking down is perfect. Taking advantage of the off-peak season before the end of the holiday and late October allows you to perfectly avoid the crowds. The Huanglong colorful forest has already quietly revealed its beauty, and the vibrant colors of the pools are extraordinary, making it well worth a visit.

Guifeng Scenic Area is quite nice, but it needs more promotion. There weren't too many tourists during the National Day holiday. The scenic area offered a variety of interactive activities, which were very engaging and provided a great emotional experience. The scenery is beautiful, and climbing up and down the mountain is not difficult. A day trip there was very relaxing, and the boat ride back offered stunning views of the lake and mountains.
