In old days, there were only some small bungalows along the park, the highest among which were some small hotels and inns with two or three stories. At an early morning after the gatekeeper opened the door, I wandered along a creak snaking through the mountains alone without encountering too many people. And then I squeezed into a bus to Yellow Dragon Cave where I followed a tourists group and listened to tour guiding cautiously in case of falling behind for every light turned off the minute tourists passed by.In contrast, this trip is on a par with a tour for celestials, since we can go to the place used to be monopolized by immortals by various kinds of facilities, such as ropeway and elevator in Tianzi Mountain where solitary peaks pierce into the sky of a imposing momentum. It is unique both in its geological features and natural beauty.
