– Do not carry bulky furniture by cable car management will not let you into the cabin.
– Should wear neat clothes, warm enough to climb. Since it’s quite cold at the top of the mountain, it’s only about 8ºC, so bring along gloves, a scarf and a warm hat.
– The distance between the steps when climbing is quite high and steep, plus the air above is quite thin, so if you go at a fast speed, it will easily cause you to drop blood pressure and feel short of breath. So on the climb you should not exert too much effort and remember to go and rest.
– Do not litter on roads affecting the landscape and the surrounding environment.
