Are there any recommended travel plans? I need the route from Ankang City to Nangong Mountain, including one night's accommodation, dining, and hiking routes, and I would like to save as much as possible on costs. Please help me out. I looked at the package below, and it's quite good if it includes both the admission tickets and hotel fees. However, if it's just the hotel fees, it's a bit expensive for me. Moreover, I'm going alone and would be paying for a single room, which would likely double the cost, which is not cost-effective.
