Practical notes

If you are not hiking, it takes about 1.5 hours to go back and forth on the Hutiao Plank Road. If you are physically fit, you generally don’t need to buy an elevator ticket. The altitude is about 2000-2500 meters, and hiking requires a lot of physical effort. Those who live at low altitudes are prone to altitude sickness, so it is recommended to do what you can. Outdoor beginners should be careful when walking. Please refer to the latest official announcement for opening, reservation and ticketing arrangements.
