💎 Insider Tips

⚡
You must rent a safety harness at the start of the trail (approx. 30 RMB).
⚡
Expect long wait times during peak hours—sometimes up to 2 hours for the plank section.
⚡
You must be in good physical health and not have a severe fear of heights.
⚡
The path is 'two-way,' meaning you have to squeeze past people coming back—stay calm!
