For the first time, we stopped at the second parking lot, which was a little far from the scenic spot. After parking, we have to walk along the path for a few minutes to reach the entrance of the scenic spot. In fact, continue to drive on the mountain road, and there is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot.
