(Note: I’ve kept the original format in my translation)
Arrive at the scenic area one day in advance, with high-speed rail, train, and buses arriving at tourist spots; there are through trains between scenic areas. Check off-peak hours of Through-Trains for Scenic Areas public account ().
It’s best to join a local pure play group, scenery is scattered, tired of playing by myself, we took separate one-day tours to Huangguoshu and Fenjushan, had a good experience, want to follow the pure play group.
Get to Potala Mountain three days in advance and buy tickets early, or forget about getting the ticket from East Gate. If you don’t get it, spend three hours climbing up the mountain from West Gate!
