Upon arrival, it was confirmed that the cable car was operating normally, and I could immediately purchase a ticket and use it – very convenient. Those concerned about the weather can follow the same procedure. Definitely worth visiting during the fall foliage season.
Unexpectedly, it rained heavily at each of the three scenic spots we visited, but this did not dampen our spirits. The spots were all easy to walk through and beautiful, and we even managed to take more photos of autumn leaves at Eiboji Temple and Ryushin Waterfall than we had anticipated. Many shops in Magome-juku were closed due to the heavy rain and relatively few tourists. We had a quick lunch and then left. Since our group consisted of six people, there was only the driver, Mr. Deng, and no tour guide. He drove safely throughout the trip and gave detailed instructions on the return journey and reminded us to be careful on the road before each stop at a scenic spot, which was commendable.
This was our first time visiting Lishan. The scenery was beautiful, the itinerary wasn't too rushed, and the accommodations were great. It's a trip we'd definitely want to return to. A special thank you to our guide and driver, Wang Yuan, for his attentive explanations. Hopefully, we'll have the chance to meet again someday!
This kind of one-day tour is quite good, the tour guide's explanation is also clear, the car seat is a bit small (I am a bit fat), the observation deck has free (smaller people) and paid photos (larger people) options. Next time I can choose to come when there is snow, it should be a different kind of scenery.
