The beauty of the mountains and the lake is indescribably stunning. If there is heavy fog, it is not recommended because it is quite tiring. It will be very hot in summer, but if you go there on a sunny day, it will be very beautiful and refreshing. The cable car is included. Please pay attention to the official website to see if the other two free cable cars on the top of the mountain (the kind used in the ski resort) are open. They will be written on the official website the night before whether they will be open the next day. There are not many restaurants on the top of the mountain. It is recommended to bring some food with you. It will be very sunny and windy, so please wear sunscreen.

A generative QR code system that can be redeemed easily in the sales service counter. The splendid cable car can take you to the peak in 5 min where you can see the gorgeous baiba lake and the sky

A highly recommended attraction. Although the weather is a bit hit and miss, the clouds and mist are very atmospheric. The weather is clear and the views are vast and very beautiful.
