Dress recommendations: It's windy and cold on the top of the mountain, so be sure to bring a light jacket; the ultraviolet rays are strong, so bring sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses and other sun protection equipment; wearing bright clothes will make your photos look better. Wear pants with sneakers, which are convenient and comfortable for climbing, and you can also match them with bright hats and bags to embellish your look. 2. Weather selection: Don't go up the mountain on cloudy or rainy days! You won't be able to see anything when it's foggy, and it's a waste of time. There are many tourists on weekends, and the parking lot is small and easily filled, so try to arrive early. 3. Food guide: Go straight to Xugou Seafood Food City after going down the mountain! After 17:00, you can go to the seafood market to choose your own ingredients for processing. Salt and pepper mantis shrimp (the ones with roe are super delicious), garlic oysters (as big as your palm), and Haizhou Bay small fish pancakes are all must-try items. You can eat your fill for an average of CNY 80 per person! Spicy and sour noodles with large chicken cutlets and Zuoxin Fang drinks are also worth a try.
