π Insider Tips
- β‘The walk involves approximately 450 stone steps; it takes about 15-20 minutes of steady uphill walking to reach the summit balcony.
- β‘Arrive around 8:30 PM during summer; Sanya and Altay share the same time zone but Altay is far west, so sunsets happen exceptionally late.
- β‘The viewing pavilion provides a stunning, unhindered panoramic camera angle to frame the entire General's Mountain ski trail network across the valley.
- β‘The entire trail is fully lit by modern spotlights until 11:00 PM, making it an exceptionally secure and popular track for night walking.
