Taking advantage of the weekdays, there were not so many visitors on Friday afternoon. It was very comfortable to walk. It was easy to buy tickets online. You can redeem them directly on site and you can enter the park!

A natural primeval forest, a good place to enjoy phytoncides. It is visited by many tourists on weekdays. Tickets purchased through klook can be redeemed with cool coins, and a gift box and tour guide for the mountain tour are also given. It is very cost-effective to buy here.

When buying tickets, you can go to a good tourist attraction to exchange for tea bags. Because there are previous reviews, you can also offset the discount. Buying tickets online is cheaper than buying tickets on site.

The moving route is clearly planned. If you are in good physical condition, you can take the stairway; if you are in good physical condition, you can use the asphalt road. The air is clean and comfortable, and the cedar trees in the artificial forest grow very beautifully.

You can buy it on site and scan the QR code to enter the park. Walking in the forest is very comfortable. On the way back, you can go to the mountain tea tour to taste tea and collect tea bags. It’s a great value.
