My husband is a photographer and this was the main reason for visiting China. We both loved it but it was taxing on the legs and feet. Get fit before you go. More

Breathtaking views in the most beautiful of surroundings. Park is well maintained and worth a visit while in this area. Many attractions within the park as well as interesting history if you have a knowledgable guide. More
