It's very convenient to enter by scanning the QR code at the entrance. However, you have to pick up the free gift at a separate location, which is said to be outside the park, so I didn't go.

Purchase e-tickets to save time waiting in line to buy tickets. When you get to the ticket attendant, open the voucher on your phone and have it scanned by the machine to enter. This time, the full-price ticket included a free tea bag, which had to be redeemed at No. 19, Yanping Road, Zhushan Town, outside the park. Although the visit to "Yo Shien Tea Culture Park" was just to redeem the tea bag, the service was friendly and made us want to buy tea bags. Overall, it's a great way to purchase tickets.

This time, the full-price tickets came with a complimentary tea bag, which had to be redeemed at No. 19, Yanping Road, Zhushan Town, outside the park. Although the visit to Yu Shan Tea House was just to redeem the tea bag, the friendly service made us want to buy tea bags anyway, making it a great way to purchase tickets.

The mountain air is great! Buying tickets through the platform is quick and convenient. I love not having to wait in line to buy tickets, and there are often promotions. Highly recommended! Awesome! 👍 So good!

The air is fantastic here! The mountains are lush and green, and the weather is perfect! We've had rain and sunshine, but the best part is the air quality – something you just can't get in the city! Awesome! 👍

The room is spacious and very comfortable! It's convenient to take out dinner from the restaurant and eat it in the living room; the seemingly simple congee and side dishes for breakfast are delicious, and the mountain cabbage is just so tasty 😋

This trip was mainly a summer vacation with the kids. The hotel is just a 17-minute drive from our planned attraction, "Luzhigu," and only 4 minutes from "Xitou National Forest Recreation Area." The hotel's recreational facilities are available until 10:30 PM, so both adults and children can have a great time. During our stay, we also encountered a classical music performance arranged by the hotel, and it was wonderful to listen to live performances by violinists and cellists for free.
