    “I walked about 2-3km along the mountainside with stone pavement and steps. It was quite slippery in the rainy season, but there were railings to hold on to.

    Visitors should check the weather forecast in advance, prepare clothes and medicine in case of emergency. Especially for this location, visitors need to consult the terrain of the area and the way back from the locals, and bring extra water and snacks because the walking distance consumes a lot of energy.
