[One R] Travel: Book your plane tickets well in advance—it’s no secret that last-minute bookings can come with a hefty price tag.

[Two R] Stay: For accommodations, I opted for the Sanma Hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the scenic area. The hotel boasts a beautiful environment, and the breakfast spread was nothing short of spectacular—highly recommended!

At the bird park, arriving before 9 AM is key—I’ve heard that many birds “clock out” if you show up too late. Right across from the bird park is the helicopter boarding point, which I cannot recommend enough. Soaring above the landscape offers stunning views from various altitudes (and yes, the pilot’s thumbs-up gesture mid-flight was basically a “666”).

And then there’s the waterfall—an awe-inspiring sight that would make even Li Bai proud. As he once wrote, “The water plunges down three thousand feet,” and all I could say was “Awesome!” [clapping hands]. (By the way, I didn’t try the waterfall rafting, but if you’re planning to, save it for last—it’s said to be bone-chillingly cold.)
